BOTH FOOD
AND MEDICINE.

We like best to call SCOTS
Emulsion a food-medicine. 1t
is a term that aptly describes
the character and action Of
our Emulsion. More than a
medicine-more than a food,
yet combining the vital prin-
ciples Of both. 1t is for this
reason that SCOTS Emulsion
has a distinct and special
value in all wasting diseases.
There is nothing better to
remedy the troubles Of i'm
perfect growth and delicate
health in children. The action
Of SCOTS Emulsion is just as
effective in treating weak
ness and wasting in adults.

The New York Times speaks edi-
torially of Andrew Lee, former pop
u,ist governor of Iowa. and goes on
to say that Mr.. Lee is organizing a
telephone company. If Iowa ever had
a populist governor the historians
have passed over the period without
mentioning it, for among the names of
the men who have served the Hawk
eye state as chief executives there
does not appear the name of Andrew
Lee. The Times should get its his
tory straight and not accuse Iowa of
anything of which she is not guilty.
Truly, Iowa has enough for which she
must answer now, what with decrease
in the farm population, the railroads,
freight rates, liquor laws, four year
terms and an indecision as to which
day is to be Thanksgiving. Any more
bothers would be entirely too many,
and we might not have any Thanks
giving at all.

block in length. The city council have
agreed to select the strip and furnish
the teams to do the work. The time

DEFINITELY determined, but if the court

The Burlington's good roads train
with D. Ward King and his road drag
as the principal attractions, is draw
ing large crowds on its trips through
the state. At Creston, with chilly
auditorium, the crowd was large and
the interest could not be lessened by
the frosty weather. The idea is a
good one and farmers and all those
interested in road improvement should
give 1t their attention.

as quickly.
If you suffer from headaches, in
digestion, fatulency, heart buRl,
dizziness, or have a variable appel
lite, and a general feeling of despond-
ency or weakness, it shows clearly
that the stomach is not digesting the
food as it should. Instead OF the
food being assimilated and making
rich, red blood and good solid flesh
and muscle, it is turned in the stom-
ach into a sour, Shiny, fefmenting
mass that causes gases, distress after
eating, and poisonous germs that fill
the whole body with poor health.

Editor Evening News:
Permit me through the News to
suggest to our Board of Aldermen
that they go slow, think, think well
and long. There should be no 'un-
necessary hurry before granting a
franchise to the Perth Amboy Elec-
trio lighting company. The writer
agrees that competition might be an
excellent thing, it is desirable, how
ever, that we have the right kind,
or in other words the lasting kind.
without desiring to cast any re-
Elections upon those who are maxi
ing the move in this direction.
What do they represent, to speak
plainly, in the matter (and its one to
be well considered) of cash. 1t re-
quires much cash to establish and
maintain a plant such as they are
asking n franchise for. Furthermore
they and all other citizens might
rather be content to pay the prices
the Public Service Corporation now
demands than to have streets
further INSTRUCTED with the insight
ly pole and wires. They are asking
to erect for the reason that they have
not the cash to start right.
AS far as | believe the city is
concerned by putting their system
in conduits, thing too, they object
to paying a certain per cent. of theii
earnings for the privilege of doing
an electric lighting business. Il
seems to the writer that its higf
time that those who are elected tt
at large, not the few, by granting any
more franchises unless the city Is
properly protected in a financial way
And | don't believe any better OPP
portunity will come than the pres
ent one by beginning with our owr
citizen. If they are actually imbuet
with the large amount of philan'
thropy which they are posing be
fore the Board of Aldermen and oul
citizens with, they would not have
the cheek to ask that which If it were
asked by an outside party would

up a howl of protest of no mean

1t is to be earnestly hoped that
the aldermen will take time. Know
what is to be the financial standing
of the company and not be carried
away with the cry of citizen move
ment, etc, unless it can be shown
that the movement is entirely sound
as to quantity and quality-financial
ly. And right here the same prop
osition will apply to the MiddleseS
& Hudson Telephone Company who
are seeking like favor from our al
dermen. Its but a few days since
