Consumption

The only kind of consump-
ton to fear is neglected
consumption"
People are learning that con-
sumption is durable disease.
1t is neglected consumption
that is so often incurable.
At the faintest suspicion of
consumption get a bottle Of
SCOTS Emulsion and begin
regular doses.
The use of Scots Emulsion
at once, has, in thousands of
cases, turned the balance in
favor of health.
Neglected consumption does
not exist where SCOTS Emul-

Feeding Oats in the Shcaf.

OATS to horses was wasteful. However,

ing bill that way. Several years ago
read of a certain farmer condemning
COW because she leaked her milk,
while he had other cows that did not
pay their keep, although they did not
leak their milk, while the first cow
paid well in spite of her leakage. Now,
in the case of my horses, l have
known them to pass oats with their
manure in so perfect n state that they
would grow. and no scheme of driv-
ing nails in the bottom of their feed
boxes. putting in stones or having
their teeth ilatted by a horse doctor
had any effect on them. But, 10! when

vestige of an Oat could be seen In
their manure. Now, what difference
does it make where or how the oats
are wasted? And if a few pigs could
have access to the stable when the
horses We're out in the field, it seems
to me that sheaf oats would have

posed fines amounting to $50, with an aggre-
gate sentence of six months in Jail as the
alternative. He was also adjudged to be
guilty of carrying revolver, for which he
was assessed an additional $50, with i'm
prisonment in the workhouse for five
months and twenty-nine days as the equiv
aIent.
Robinson, the witnesses told Judge Scott,
called on his lady friend, Jennie Thomp-
son. whU resides at Woods house. The
couple had words, and Wood, who acted
the part Of peacemaker, was struck on the
head with brick. Not satisfied with using
a brick on the peacemaker, Robinson pulled
out a knife, but before he had a chance to
use it Woods gained possession of the
weapon and stabbed Robinson In the back,
when the latter used a brick on him the

also exploded, and in an instant the rear
end of the car was in flames. In the panic
