Young Plants

Every farmer knows that
some plants grow better than
c,hers. Soil may be the same
I'd seed may seem the same
ut some plants are weak and
others strong.
And that's the way with
children. They are like young
plants. Same food, same home,
ame care but some grow big
nd strong while others stay
small and weak.
SCOTS Emulsion offers an
easy way out of the difficulty.
Child weakness often means
starvation, not because of lack
of food, but because the food
does not feed.
SCOTS Emulsion really feeds
and gives the child growing
strength.
Whatever the cause of weak
ness and failure to grow
SCOTS Emulsion seems 20 find
it and set the matter right.

1T WON HIS CASE.
The Incident That Brought About
the "StOVepipc Verdict"

The Incident That Brought About
the "StovePipe Verdict
1t was n characteristic of a certain
Tennessee colonel that when once his
oratory had begun TO flow before the
jury nothing could stop it till the fount
was exhausted. on one occasion he
had just finished tearing his oppo-
nents argument TO tatterS when the
courtroom stovepipe fell with crash.
There cried the colonel as the
clouds Of SCOT arose. There is a simile
furnished by nature herself, Just MS
that stovepipe has come unjointed and
fallen useless to the ground so my ad-
versary's argument has fallen with as
loud crash. one Is not more hollow
than the other. not more i'm need Of
polish.

black scandals which my adversary
has poured into your ears and with
which ne has underworld TO blacSen

His case had seemed hopeless, but
when he had finished the stovcpipe
comparison the jury was converted
and returned what became famous in
western Tennessee as the "stovepipe
verdict" in favor Of the coloners eli
