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 50 perfectly adapted
to their wants.
For all weak and pale and
thin children SCOTS Emulsion
is the most satisfactory treat
ment.

Number of Furniture Fac

TO INSPECT THE HARDWOOD
Expected That Several Will be Here

May Mean Furniture Factory
For This Section.

Within the next two or three weeks
between fifteen and twenty prominent
furniture men will visit Brunswick
for the purpose of investigating the
hard woods which are growing in this
section and it may be that some OF
tEem will decide to erect a furniture
factory in or near this city.
AS is well known the question OF
hard woods has been attracting the
attention of the local board of trade
and others for sometime and consider
able has been said and published
about the hard woods grown in this
territory and it was brought out that
this would be an excellent location
for a furniture factory.
The attention of the furniture men
have been attracted by the announce
ment, and the board of trade yesterday
announced that fifteen or twenty fur
niture manufacturers would visit the
city in the course of a few weeks.
They will probably speld several
days looking over the territory, and
Inspecting the har1woods, and the re-
suit may be that factory will be To-

GREAT BATTLE AT MUkDEN
WILL TAKE PLACE SHORTLY

Toxic, Sept. 22.-An impression is
proving general that an engagement
will soon take place at Mukden. Gen.
efal Kuropatkin is evidently preparing
to make a determined resistance to
any attempt to dispossess him and is
irtrenching and constructing defances.
He has an immense force available,
but the opinion is expressed that Tie
Pass would be a more favorable loca-
tion for defense. The Russians. how
ever, are unwilling to suffer the loss
Of prestige which would be involved
by the abandonment Of Mukden.
Both armies are now rested and
have recovered from the effects of the
fight at Lao Yang They are in con
dition to fight and the weather is fav-
orable for military operations. The
reads are drying and the Japanese are
speedily restoring the railway. A par
u Of military attaches who recently
came to Lao Yang from Toxic were
dragged for 100 miles in open trucks
by coolies The army is now far
warding rolling stock with captured
cars and engines. and the service soon
will be thoroughly organized,
With the Lao river open the task
OF Transporting men and supplies to
the advanced base of operations at
Lao Yang is simple
There is much speculation now as
to the extent of the fal and winter
campaign. 1t is generally thought
that Field Marshal Ayama will con
tibue pressing Kuropatllin back until
the winter fails and will then strongly
guard his advance line until spring
The japanese carried on an aggres-
siye campaign against the Chinese
during the winter, but conditions are
different in this war.
