WHY DOES
A BABY CRYf

Because it is either hun
CRY or in pain. Properly
nourished it will usually grow
up right and be comfortable
that's the principal thing
for a baby. If its food lacks
strength and nourishment
add SCOTS Emulsion at feed
ing time. A few drops will
show surprising results. If a
baby is plump it is reason
ably safe. SCOTS Emulsion
makes babies plump.

STIFF BosoMED SHIRTS.

All the shirt manufacturers of the country are heavy losers on account of the latest whim of American shirt wearers, according to the statement of George B. Denman of Glens Falls, N Y, who represents one of the large concerns MT .Denman says that in the last year and half the stiff bos- omed shirt has gone into decided dis favor. Large numbers of men who have never worn anything but stiff bosomed shirts now insist on having soft shirts for both winter and sum mera
 Tt is utterly unaccountable," said MT Denman. tThe stiff shirt is bus inesslike garment. It wears well and looks well. But the men of the coun- try will not have them any more. The result is that shirt makers have their business reduced to practically one season. It used to be that stiff shirts were sold for winter and soft shirts for summer, but it is so no longer. Of course there will always be sale of stiff shirts. but it has become so limit ed Wath such suddenness that the mak- CTS have lost money. ."-Louisville Courier-Jou
