Claims That Account Of the In Jury to
Mason Child Was Incorrect.

NJ. E. Stewart called at the States
man office today and stated that the
account of his dog biting the child of
Mr.. and Mrs. A. J. Mason Sunday was
erroneous in some respects. He SAID:
The Mason children We're playing on
the porch in front of my residence dur
ing near them. Suddenly Mrs. Stewart
heard the screams of the child and
Fastening out doors she found the lit
tie one lying on the porch With
small cut on it's face. She Immediately
picked up the child and carried it into
the house and sent over to the barn
for me. l hurried to my home and TAX
ing the boy in my arms carried him
over to the Mason residence and deliv-
cred him to his mother. physician
was summoned and when he arrived
he dressed the wounds. The child was
not very badly injured but the wound
no doubt, was painful. The statement
that the dog had bitten other persons
before, is untrue. and while he is a
splendid watch dog, 1 don't believe that
he would injure anyone unless he was
III treated. Mr. Mason came to my
house and wanted me to kill the dog.
but l informed him that l could not
do so. I was willing. however, that
the city poundnaster should take him
away. After the affair vas over took
the dog over to my barn and tied him
up in the hay loft intending to SEND
him away. Late in the afternoon Mr.
Mason went into the hay loft and kill
ed the dog by shooting it.

EMERGENCY RATION

A man has lived forty days
without other food than his
own fat.
Fat is mans emergency ra-
ton. The fat is stored in
convenient hollows all over
the body against the day of
necessity.
Consumption makes heavy
demand on the storage of fat.
Nature uses fat to fight the
disease. The crying need of
the consumptive is fat.
SCOTS Emulsion contains
the best fat to be had, next to
humanfat itself. SCOTS Emul-
sion IS a natural substitute for
human fat. 1t prevents waste.
1t furnishes the consumptive
with natures own weapon for
fighting the disease.

which Whitman won the great victory
