BONE FOOD

Soft and crooked bones mean
bad feeding. Call the disease
ricketts, if you want to. The
growing child must eat the
right food for growth. Bones
must have bone food, blood
must have blood food and so
on through the list.
SCOTS Emulsion is the right
treatment for soft bones in
children. Littledoses everyda
give the stiffness and shape
that healthy bones should have.
Bow legs become straighter,
loose joints grow stronger and
firmness comes to the soft
heads.
Wrong food caused the
trouble. Rightfood viii cure it.
In thousands of cases SCOTS
Emulsion has proven to be the
right food for soft bones in
childhood.

ST. INIGO'S ITEMS.

From Orr Regular Correspondent.
Recent copious rains have benefit
ed vegetation. Wheat is growing
rapidly and its hue reminds us of
the magnificent green light of link
when it burns in air. Tobacco beds
are full of vigorous plants. Corn is
struggling to make a fairly good APP
pearance. 1t is trying to please it's
respective owners who planted it
with the expectation born of hope.
Potatoes are not backward in growth.
No bugs have appeared to modest
them to date. Lettuce, asparagus,
onions and radishes are enjoyed.
Blanched lettuce is a soporific and
may be used advantageously at sup
per (tea p by persons who are dis
tressed by restless nights.
How cows, sheep, etc., enjoy the
soft velvety grass, and strange to
say they seldom stop to rest under
the grateful shade of trees with their
spreading branches of emerald foli-
age.
We notice that an occasional rumor
has some truth at the bottom by
which it is brought into being, and
there is every probability that there
is some kernel of reality in the rumor
that wireless telegraphic station
will be erected at Point Lookout
during the current year. A few
years ago Marconi was regarded a
crank those charging him of conceit
possibly forgetting that man is an
ever-improving growth, and that the
career of the Aryan branch of the
human family is ever upward and
advancing. We should be slow to
condemn, and lay TO heart,

Waterbury evening Democrat., 1904-12-30


 What is considered one of the most remarkable surgical operations ever performed in the world, by. reason of the great danger involved of cutting off the life of the patient during the progress of the work, has just been completed by Professor Manteuffel of Dorpath, Germany, on young girl of that town, says an exchange. This operation, which proved successful and is now claiming the attention of eminent surgeons the world over, i'm volyed cutting open and sewing mp of the girls heart. The surgeon succeed cd in removing from his patients heart, the beating of which had stop ped two hours before his aid was sought, bullet which had lodged in the back of the organ. Curiously enough, though the bullet had practi- cally pierced the heart, 1t had touched no large blood vessel. After, several hours the patient recovered conscious ness and is now as we'll as ever, the stitched heart being good as new

The world is hundredfold smaller than it was hundred years ago. Is that such desirable achievement: :: Would you rather live in six-by-four asteroid, or in great inmeasurable planet? The larger the better, I should say, says Ernest Crosby in the Crafts man. When we may see and hear the whole world at once and travel round it in two minutes, shall be ready to remove to some globe having elbow room to spare. And this shrinking of the size of the world has brought peo- pie so close together that they are growing alike in dress, manners and speech, and their towns begin to look one like the other, so that century ago you could find more variety in the next county than you can find to-day across the sea. I confess that I like variety, and a world big enough to give it opportunity, and I should be willing to make long Journey i'll order to discover village not exactly like my village, and a man not exactly like myself

The year 1903 was period of loss es and drastic liquidation, says Bank CT Henry Clews. The year 1904 start ed with symptoms of recovery and hopefulness; but recuperation was slow during the first six months ,and not until the harvest began to show promise did confidence really start to revive. Had our harvest been a fail ure, difficulties most unpleasant to contemplate would surely have fol- lowed. Commerce and industry, how ever, being sound and strong, were not so seriously deranged ijy stock market fluctuations as at one time feared. And yet public confidence re- ceived an exceedingly severe shock; enterprise hesitated; the stock market dropped 30 to 40 points; railroads were obliged to suspend new issues; neces- sary improvementsF were thus stopped and sudden contraction followed ill the demand for iron and other mater ials which. spread distrust in every direction. More than, year has al- ready been consumed in recovering ground lost as result of this trust mania, and even now we are not en- toying the same degree of prosperity which existed before the collapse of that remarkable stage of our eco homie development
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1904-12-30

the state shall be thrown out on the grounds of alleged frauds and that the votes of the republican precincts shali be counted. The radical program is opposed by some republican leaders" :" The republican leaders in Colorado who oppose this plan of prolonging Governor Peabody's political power show themselves more loyal to the real interests of their party than do the partisans of Governor Peabody, who has already done so much to bring his party into discredit ill Colorado. Let us hope that that state, which already has suffered so much, will be spareo the shame and disgrace of having aa it's executive head one who was con, demned at the polls for the part he played in bringing about species of civil war that has reflected So much on the fair fame of Colorado.
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1904-12-30

Colorado is threatened with q con. tinuation of the troubles that have so
 long distracted that state, says a New York paper. X press dispatch an- nounces that a plan has been formed
 for the purpose of continuing Gov, ernor Peabody at1the head of the state government for two years longer. The general assembly which meets on Jan, uary 4 will have republican majority of thirty. It Is proposed to have the general assembly appoint a special con- test commission, to which will be sub, mitted evidence Of alleged election frauds in Denver and in other places throughout the state. A press dispatch states: ''The republicans do not in tend that the legal votes shall be sift- ed from the illegal and then counted, or that they shall reject the entire vote of Denver county, but they propose that about 500 democratic precincts in
