WHY MOTHERS
WORRY

Did you ever hear a mother
worry over a plump child :
There is no better bank of
health for a child to draw
from than a good supply of
healthy flesh.
SCOTS Emulsion not only
gives a child weight and
pIumpness, but it feeds the
brain. bones and nerves with
strength and active power.
Fewer mothers would
worry if they knew more
about SCOTS Emulsion.
SCOTS Emulsion is substi-
tuted by cheap emulsions and
so-called wines, cordials and
extracts of Cod-liver oil.
They can do you no good
and are dear at any price.
Why buy them7 SCOTS
Emulsion has been the one
reliable preparation of cod
liver oil for nearly thirty years.

ed the woven characters and gave his
translation as follows:
Outside this thy threshold am !,

Nor beyond this portal find /
Where to rest my weary head.
"A work of the servant at the Holy
Shrine of Kashan in the year 946."
Professor Gottheil made the transit
ton of the Yerkes rug as follows:
Beyond thy mercy there is no hope for
me.
Lift up my bowed head and turn not
from me-"
That was all. But Yerkes was pleas
ed with it. for he knew not that Profess
sor Bayer had found more in his trans
lation of the similar inscription. Later
Yerkes investigated He became
convinced that Professor Gottheil had
not given him a full rendering of the
pattern. He secured at great expense
a translation by Chemseddine Bey who
is the Persian ambassador to Turkey.
His translation was practically the
same as that of Professor Bayer.
Yerkes sat down to await request
on the part of Professor Gottheil for the
$500 he was to charge for his work on
the Ardebil rug.
When at last it came the money was
not forthcoming. ana Yerkes told Pro-
fessor GOttheil the reason. The result
of this was a suit in which Professor
Gottheil is seeking to recover not only
the $500, but balm to his injured feel
ings.

DEAR Mrs. PINKHAM Life looks
dark indeed when a woman feels that
her strength is fading away and she has
no hopes of ever being restored Such
was my feeling a few months ago when
was advised that my poor health was
caused by prolapsus or falling of the
womb. The words sounded like a
knell to me, felt that my sun had set /;
but Lydia Il. Pinkham's Vege-
table Compound came to me as an
elixir of life it restored the lost forces
and built me up until my good health
returned to me. For four months 1
took the medicine daily, and each dose
added health and strength. / am so

HERE was a rattle Of carriage
wheels over the pavement Of
Jersey City. The swiftly driven
vehicle turned the corner and
dashed down to No. Oakland
avenue The door opened and a young
man with a silk hat and opera cloak
stepped out and turned to assist a very
confused, but very pretty, young girl
from the carriage.
They hurried into the Office Of Justice
of the Peace George c. Macs and the
door closed with a slam. Then the
young man stepped out and. looking
nervously up ana down the street, d.
rected the driver to wait. The man
grinned and nodded
And are you both Of age?" the JUS
tice was asking inside the office
"Oh. yes. we are I am eighteen and
Fred is twenty-one. Please hurry" an
swered the young lady. while the youth
glanced up and down the street again.
The good-natured justice asked their
addresses. and finding that one OF them
gave a residence in Jersey City. scrib-
bled indusriously over the blank mar
riage certificate and talked at the same
time. And now I pronounce you man
and wife. and good luck go with youc'
The girl turned and deposited a kiss
on the young mans cheek. At the same
time the youth dropped a ten-dollar note
on the Justices desk. and taking the
hand of his wife hurried out to the
carriage. the girl grasping her marriage
certificate in her delicately gloved
hand
ITO the ferryr' said the husband.
The carriage disappeared and a mo-
.ment after another appeared. coming up
the street on the jump. A red-faced,
greatly excited. elderly man got out and
ran into the Office.
The justice still scrubbed in his entry
book.
Have you married a couple named
Quickwed?" demanded the old gentle
man.
Yes"
How many days ago?"
About ten minutes"
Then I'm too late"

There is only one thing that 1 am
afraid Of" said Judge Macs. as he
leaned back in his office chair and
smiled till his white teeth cleaned.
''and that is the girl who thinks that it
is still necessary to kiss the magis-
trate or minister who marries her. This
custom. If it ever existed as a sure
enough thing, went out of vogue before
my time. And yet every now and then
there comes a bride who shyly edges
up to me as soon as the marriage is
through, and looks UP in my face as
though she expected me to kiss her.
at is then that my heart stands still
and ceases TO pat I have never yet
kissed one of my happy brides, and the
chief and only reason is that 1 am the
veriest coward when it comes to such

Judge Macs is proprietor of a drug
store and has been more or less of a
politician. He was a police justice for
fourteen years in Jersey City and is one
o. the best known men In the town. He
says that he is not a justice of the
peace because he is after the fees that
are given him for the marriages he per-
forms. but because he believes that
marrying people is a public service and

Not all my people are clipping
couples, by any means. Many of them
are accompanied by their parents and
friends. One reason why I think
that the civil marriage is a good
thing is that many people shrink from
the trying ordeal OLA wedding in church
or in a home where relatives and
friends pursue the sufferers with rice
and old shoes and otherwise make the
ceremony embarrassing.
Some people wish. for family reasons
or for business reasons, to keep their
marriage a secret from their friends.

other obvious reasons why marriage
should not be made too difficult for
young people

memory where one of my marriages
proved unhappy was where a young
man came to me and said he had no
money, but wanted to be married at
once. OF course 1 married them. That
