SCOTT's EMULSION.
WHY DOES
A BABY CRYl

Because it is either hun
CRY or in pain. Properly
pourished it will usually grow
up right and be comfortable
that's the principal thing
for 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.

"Swarred for a Livin'."

Here is a favorite anecdote
which Abraham Lincoln was in
the habit of relating: James
Quarles, a distinguished lawyer
of Tennessee, was one day trying
a case, and after producing his
evidence rested, whereupon the
defense produced a witness who
swore Quarles completely out of
court, and a verdict was rendered
accordingly. After the trial one
of his friends came to him and
said: "Why didn't you get that
Teller to swar on your side?" 81
didn't know anything about him,
replied Quarles. 81 might have
told you about him." said his
friend, "for he would swar for
you jest as hard as he'd swar for
the other side. That's his bust
ness. Judge, that Teller takes in
swarrin' for livin'."

Be Cheerful

A woman may be as beautiful
as Helen, of Troy, and as alluring
as the serpent of the Nile, and
yet if she be not cheerful she is
altogether incapable of winning
or keeping affection after it is
won. The world is on the
lookout for all that is bright and
gay. There is so much of sorrow
lurking in every corner that we
turn our backs upon it wherever
we can, not the sorrows of others.
but the thousands and one things
winch sreep into our paths, and
if noticed and brooded over will
not add one whit to cheerfulness
Therefore woman to be appre-
ciated in home and social life
must be like ray of sunshine
rather than u cloud, no matter
how beautiful that cloud may be.
There are many causes for down
heartedness, but they can all be
lived d~n. Cheerfulness is a
!uty, for whenever we refuse to
be cheerful we call into question
the wisdom of Divinity. Look
on the bright rather the the.dark
side Of life. Encourage a spirit
Of cheerfulness, for with it all
ills grow less and every burden
grows lighter.
