Proverbs

When the butter won't
come put a penny in the
churn,' is an old time dairy
proverb. 1t often seems to
work though no one has ever
told why.
When mothers are worried
because the children do not
gain strength and flesh we
say give them SCOTS Emul-
sion.
1t is like the penny in the
milk because it works and
because there is something
astonishing about it.
SCOTS Emulsion is simply
a milk of pure cod liver oil
with some hypophosphites
especially prepared for delicate
stomachs.
Children take to it naturally
because they like the taste
and the remedy takes just as
naturally to the children be-
cause it is SO perfectly adapted
to their wants.
For all weak and pale and
thin children SCOTS Emulsion
is the most satisfactory treat.

Much foot ball talk is being heard
among University students although
1t is entirely out of season at present.
The selection Of a suitable coach and
the schedule OF next year are items
which are receiving full attention
from the players and fans.

On the heels OF these two pleasing
announcements come whispers that
are not at all pleasing to the fans.
One Of these is that Jno. Core has sign
ed IA contract with Dickinson which
places him in professional ranks. He
is, it is asserted, to receive his board
and tuition and other inducements to
go to Dickinson and this is to be open
TO him as long as be shall desire to
stay here.
Another West NirgiDian has at
tracted attention and he too has re-
ceived offers OF payment for playing.
