Consumption Ii

Salt pork is a famous old
fashioned remedy for con-
sumption. "Eat plenty of
pork" was the advice to the
consumptive 50 and 100
years ago.
Salt pork is good if man
can stomach it. The idea
behind it is that fat is the
food the consumptive needs
most.
Scott sEmulsionisthemo
ern method of feeding fat to
the consumptive. Pork is too
rough for sensitive stomachs.
SCOTS Emulsion is the most
refined. of fats, especially
prepared for easy digestion:
Feeding him fat in this
way, which is often the only
way, is half the battle, but
Scott's Emulsion does more
than that. There is some
thing about the combination
of cod liver oil and hypophos-
phites in Scott's Emulsion
that puts new life into the
weak parts and has a special
action on the diseased lungs.

The Lobby Not For Reed.

There is not a professional
lobbyist in Missouri supporting
Jim Reed for governor. Not
withstandiug this Jim Reed
does not claim to be better than
the other candidates for gov
ernor. He does say that Is
be is elected governor he will
drive the lobby from the CAPT.
tai as he drove it from the city
ball in Kansas City. Col. Bill
Phelps knows Mayor Reed to
be man of his word and for
that reason he is booming Folk
and sits up nights figuring how
to beat Reed out of the nomina
tion. Phelps never works tor
anyone unless he knows his
ground. Is there an under
standing between Folk and the
railroad lobbyist? Ii there is,
what is it? If there is not an
understanding why did the Folk
supporters give Phelps the
proxy of the only Folk member
of the state committee and al
low him to conduct their fight
before that body? These are
plain questions, but in these
strenuous days the voter wants
to know just what he is dong
