Nut Foods.

While, as a nation, We are great
candy eaters we should not forget
that we should be great tconsumers
as we'll. In the olden times, We were
cautioned to "eat nuts with little salt
and great deal of discretion" for the
stomach's sake. Nowadays, the health
fulness of nuteating is unanimously
conceded, not for the xell person only.
but large quantities OF nuts are convert
ed into food products for Invalid con-
sumption in the various sanltarlums
and hospitals and especially for the
food of the dyspeptic patients.
Nut culture as food product is now
one of the staple Industries, and great
factor in commercial and home life.
In the United States, the industry has,
within the last few years, become so
widespread and important that a Nut
Growers association has been formed
and standard of excellence establish
ed, scientific tests and experiments in
stituted, and information regarding
the industry carefully gathered and
given out. A great many women are
takirg up the work, and the acreage Is
rapidly increasing, vieing in lmpor-
lance with that of the fruit industries.
It is claimed that it is one of the most
remunerativa OF the agricultural re-
sources, a nut orchard continuing to
return annual interest for-nobody
knows how long, though it is claimed
for longer than the average human
life.
Nuts are a choice and valuable food,
standard luxury, end fast becoming
q necessity to those who appreciate
their great nutritious and hygienlc
values. As the supply increases, their
great values become better known, and
new uses suggest themselves and are
employed. In some countries, they
constitute the chief foods of the popu-
lace. Their benefits are not confined
to the human families, as they have
long been known and used as yalua-

POOR STOMACH

The WORKOUT stomach OF the over
fed millionaire is often paraded in the
public prints as a horrible example
Of the evils attendant on the possession
OF great wealth. But mlllionairea are
not the only ones who are afflicted
with bad stomachs. The proportion ia
far greater among the toilers. Dyspep-
STA and indigestion are rampant among
these people, and they suffer tar worse
fortunes than the millionaire unless
they avail themselves Of standard
medicine like Green's August Flower,
which has bean q favorite household
remedy for all stomach troubles for
over thirty-five years. August Flower
rouses tho torpid liver, thus creating
appetite and insuring perfect digestion.

A Fortunate Boy.

Atlanta Journal.
Edward j, Cocoran, small boy Of
Fall River, Mass has had an expert
enco which riyals the widest incidents
in juvenile story books.
s. me- time ago he visited his aunt,
Mr.. Mary Mahony, who was houee-
keeper for wealthy old bachelor IN
Newport, Il. I.
Tho boy made such favorable im-
preston on his aunts employer that he
provided in his Will that the boy
should have $4,000 to be placed in
trust for him until he is 81 years of
age, meanwhile, he is to be given "the
best education in the world"
The wealthy benefactors was Judge
Francis B. Peckham, Newport's lead
ing lawyer. Judge Peckham's recent
death has given the story of this leg
acy to the public.
The Judge left to the boy also his
his handsome residence, valued at
SAC. coo, subject to life interest OF
Edwards mother, who gets IS 1000, and
of his aunt, Judge Peckham's house
keeper, who receives $4,000.
Edward COrcoran must be very at
tractive youth-a sort of Little Lord
Fauntleroy," we imagine.
Always be clean and neat, boys, and
respectful to your elders, and either
some wealthy old gentleman will leave
you a pile OF money, or (what is BETTER
you will grow up to be wealthy old

proverbs

"When the butter won't
come put a penny in the
churn," is an old time dairy
proverb. 1t often seems to
work though no one has ever
told why.
When mothers are worried
because the children do not
gain strength and flesh we
say give them SCOTS Emul-
sion.
It is like the penny in the
milk because it works and
because there is something
astonishing about it.
SCOTS Emulsion is simply
a milk of pure cod liver oil
with some hypophosphites
especially prepared for delicate
stomachs.
Children take to it naturally
because they like the taste
and the remedy takes just as
naturally to the children be-
cause it is SO perfectly adapted
to their wants.
For All weak and pale and
thin children SCOTS Emulsion
is the most satisfactory treat
