Consumption

Salt pork i, a famous old
fashioned remedy for con-
sumption. Eat plenty of
pork, was the advice to the
conSamptivc 50 and 100
years ago.
Salt pork is good if a man
can stomach it. The idea
behind it is that fat is the
fooi the conSumptivc needs
most.
Scott SEmulsionis themod-
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
SCOTS Emulsion does more
than that. There is some
thing about the combination
of cod liver oil and hypophos-
phites in SCOTS Emulsion
that puts new life into the
weak parts and has special
action on the diseased lungs.

nearly all against the -reaffirmation of the Kansas City platfrom More than 95 per
 cent hold that view. Not more than three favor it's reaffirmation. The editors are practically "unanimous in their demand for an up-to-date platform. They do not
 want the eisms" in any platform. They want a platform strong and broad enough for all Democrats to stand thereon. They oppose limiting the platform to that of 1S16-1sS0- 1884 -1S92-1S96 Of 1900. They want new up-to-date platform-one that will satisfy the conservative business ele- meut iof the country. They are hopeful in the coming campaign. They are eager for the fray, and they want live issues. They will do their part well. As rule they are not oftice-seekers, or of1ce-hold- CTS, but patriotic party workers. They do not, want to be handicapped in this campaign by an reafflrmation. They made this clear at their recent meeting They believe that the Democracy can win this canpaigns In order to win, there must be no handicaps. The party rieeds unity and harmony. The Democratic editors of Indiana are successful business men. They are producers, not destroy CTS, of wealth. None know better than they that the party must be a part and parcel of the business strength of this country. before it can achieve success. They have the courage to say so. They have the right to be heard, because they do more party work than any other class of partiBans. All the Indiana Democratic editoEs want is. d. live platform and a conservative candidate and the campaign in this State will be a royal battle--with splendid prospects of Democratic success.
