\ woman once wrote Us that she was not going to buy Scotts Emulsion any more because 1t cost too much. Said she could get some other emulsion for less money. Penny wise and pound foolish. Scott Epul- sion costs more because 1t Is worth more-costs more to make. We could make Scott's Emulsion cost less by using less oil. Could take less care in making it, too. If we did, however, Scott's Emulsion wouldn't be the standard preparation of cod liver oil as 1t Is to-day.

Ogden, Utah, Jan. ia new type
of engine known as the "Monkey mo-

miles with one ton of coal as against
25 to % miles under the present system.

Mann Of Chicago, one Of the leading
members Of the house committee on IN
terstate and foreign commerce, ex-
pressed the opinion yesterday af ternoon
that G. F: Staples of Minnesota, who
expert witness to urge legislation bring
ing the railways of the, country under L:
better regulation, was the most intelli-
gent, the fairest and. the most convinc-
ing witness who has appeared before the
committee this session.
That is saying a good deal, for the
committee has had before it eminent
railroad presidents and general mana
gers, and distinguished men REPRESENT
ing the great shipping interests.
Mr.. Staples did not come as a member
of the railway and warehouse commits
sion Of Minnesota, but as a representa-
tive of the national association Of rail
road and warehouse commissioners. He
was selected for this important duty at
the associations annual convention in
Birmingham, Ala, last November. He
was on the stand for more than an hour
yesterday, and was recalled for an hour
