Thomas s. Phelps, Jr.. son of the Pto- .neer hero, was at Seattle iu command of a ship of the "New Navy The honor was a deserved one, and the con ferring of it will be as gratifying to the many friends of "Tom" Phelps, of the present generation, one of the best men in the American navy, as it will be to those who recognize the claim to Seat ties regard possessed by his famous father, who recently passed away.

the belief is that its timely discovery

The matter of feed is OF
tremendous Importance to the

The up-to-date farmer knows
What to feed his COWS to get
fhe most milk, his pigs to get
the most pork, his hens to
get the most eggs. Science.
But how about the children ?
Are they fed according to
science, a bone food if bones
are soft and undeveloped, a
heSh and muscle TODD II they
are thin and weak and a blood
food if there is anemia?
SCOTS Emulsion is a mixed
food; the Cod Liver Oil in it
makes flesh, blood and muscle,
The Lime and Soda make bone
and brain. 1t is the standard
scientific food for delicate
