FOOD
NOT MEDICINE

Ii all the treatments for
consumption were put in
book form it would make a
pretty big library. But after
all there has been little i'm.
provement over the old treat
ment of rest, fresh air, sun
shine, plain, wholesome
food and SCOTS Emulsion.
The latter supplies nourish-
ment that cannot be secured
IN any other way, and after
all, nourishment is what the
consumptive needs first.
A gain in weight, however
slight, is a long step toward
improvement. If there is the
least thing to build on SCOTS
Emulsion will enable the pa
tent to make that gain. Peo-
pie have gained a pound in
weight from a bottle of SCOTS
Emulsion--it's an exception
when they don't.
We have seen SCOTS
Emulsion take hold of a pa.
tent and bring about a
change for the better inside
of a week. 1t always helps
even the most stubborn cases.

UNION PACIFIC BONDS.

The fact that different offers have recently been
made for the conversion of Union Pacific Converti-
ibe bonds into common stock has excited some dis
cussion and speculation in Wall Street day or
two ago. it is learned, when bonds were presented
at the Union Pacific onICes for conversion into
stock the privilege was extended by the payment
Of 81 a bond. which represents the adjustment or
the difference i'm the interest the bonds and
the dividend the stock. the former being at the
rate of per cent, while the latter is now at the
rate of per cent a year. At the same time Kuhn.
Loeb & Co accepted bonds for conversion by the
payment of 81 80 bond. The difference Of 81 80 in
the amount required to he paid for conversion
virtually amounted 10 premium of that extent,
being paid by Kuhn Loeb & Co. for the convertible
bonds 1t is understood that the firm had occasion
to obtain a block of the bonds which are not AT
present coming in rapidly for conversion. and We're
willing to offer inducement for them
