WHAT AND WHY.

Why should substitutes
for SCOTS Emulsion be
refused3
Because they do not begin
to offer the equivalent of
food-value contained In
SCOTS Emulsion.
Why should special care
be taken to avoid so-called
wines, cordials and extracts
of cod liver oil?
Because they contain a
large percentage of alcohol
and afford only temporary
stimulation.
Does not SCOTS Emul-
sion also stimulate the body?
Yes, but it is stimulation
through nourishment.
What vital food principle
is involved in the action of
SCOTS Emulsion?
Direct and perfect nour-
ishment without tax on the
stomach.

fresh from Cambridge, and in the Or

to the men under him always made use

This habit led to some rather expen-

before the general manager, he wrote
the young official the following letter:

Walking For Malaria.

Obstinate cases of malaria that have
withstood the ocean voyages, mountain
heights and Quinine dosing are said to
have been conquered by systematic and
continued walking. What the malarial
patient wants most to do is to sit in
doors, nurse his aches and pains or to
lie down and doze. Advocates Of the
walking cure maintain that fresh air IS
an antidote not only to the malaria it.
self. but to the blues, which usually
accompanies it. Their advice to the
sufferer is to dress up warmly If the
weather is damp or rainy and go cat to
walk. Wear flannel next to the skin,
stout shoes and simple hat. IF 1t Is
warm, dress Lightly, but carry a wrap
to throw around the shoulders against
drafts and too rapid cooling off. When
one comes to think of it, there are few
maladieS on earth that fresh air and
moderate exercise are not good for.

Poisonous and Harmless Snakes.


There is a certain physiological diff
ference between the poisonous and
harmless snakes which exists very
plainly in their manner Of dentition.
All snakes are objects of aversion and
dread to mankind, so much so that to
be bitten by snake has at times been
so fearful to the victim as TO have pro-
duced death although the snake was
harmless. Such is the instructive dread
with which these reptiles are thought
of that it may be desirable to have
some easy mode Of distinguishing the
one kind from the other. This distin-
gushing characteristic is afforded by
the teeth. In all poisonous snakes
there are only two rows Of teeth, the
fang or fangs being arranged either
within the two rows or outside Of them.
The harmless snakes have four distinct
rows Of teeth, and when the bite shows
this kind of wound and not any single
deeper or larger puncture there need
be no apprehension.

any one in ordinary health should have

violation Of the plain laws of health.
There can be no more prolific cause
of colds than highly seasoned foods as

time for the digestive organs to rest
and incite an increased flow of the dl-
gestive secretions. Thus larger quaint
ties of nouriShment are absorbed than
can be properly utilized, and the .sult
is an obstruction, commonly c;...ed a
"cold." which is simply an effort Of the
system to expel the useless material.

\ deficient supply of pure air. to the

exercise are necessary to prepare the
system for the assimilation Of nutr!-
ment, for without them there can be no
vigorous health. The oxygen Of the
air we breathe regulates the appetite
as we'll as tie nutriment that is built
up in the system.
The safest and best w2y to avoid
colds is to sleep in a room with the
windows wide open and to remain out
Of doors every day, no matter what
