SOFT COPE

Like the running brook, the
red blood that flows through
the veins has to come fro-a
somewhere.
The springs of red blood are
found in the soft core Of the
bones called the marrow and
some say red blood also comes
from the spleen. Healthy bone
marrow and healthy spleen
are full of fat.
SCOTS Emulsion makes new
blood by feeding the bone
marrow and the spleen with
the richest of all fats, the pure
cod liver oil.
For pale school girls and
invalids and for all whose
blood is thin and pale, SCOTS
Emulsion is a pleasant and rich
blood food. 1t not only feeds
the blood-making organs but
gives them strength to do
their proper work.

what from accounts heretofore consd-

when Ethan Allen lived on the Van

after his death an apprecativo biog-
raphical sketch of Judge Adds appears
being n paper read before the Yer
mont Bar Association in October, 1903,
by the Hon. Edward A. Sowles of
st. Adams. which has recently been
printed in pamphlet form. 1t gives the
main facts of his distinguished career,
describes his admirable traits of char
acter, and shows the grounds OF his
eminence as a lawyer and jurist and
OF his standing as citizen. Several
interesting anecdotes enlvcn the pages.
Marks of hasty composition, shown in
several inaccurate statements of facts,
and in sentences so involved as some
times to obscure the sense unfortu-
natcly dctract something from tho
value of the sketch. Mr.. Sowlcs al

II the reader should infer from this
that General Schofield had anything to
do with the capture of Richmond, he
would be in error. General Schof1eld
was down In North Carolina when
Richmond fell, and had no part in the
| capture of the Confederate capital. OF
course the occupation of Richmond by

| and his final capture were not coinci-

chivcs which came into it's possession

lically, Australia is isolated-as an island
but is nearer to canton ANA Iekng, by

of peril; for the islands OF Oceanica
