Eldora, Dec. 13-Tradition tells us
that in the early days the site now oc-

south forks Of the Iowa river, danger
GUS storms were less liable at this
point. Since their home has been at
the Tama reservation, members of the
Musquakee tribe have made 1t their
custom to come here, early in the fall,
each year, to trap, hunt and fish. This
winter they are camped two miles west
of town on the banks of Beaver creek.
Here they have built their tepees out
Of numerous branches covered with
straws and an outer covering of blank
cts and skins. In the center a warm
fire Is constantly burning which throws
it's warmth to their hunks around the

Of blanketed Indians come to Eldora to

RIGHT NOURlsHMENT.

We think of nourishment
as food-meats, soups, vege-
tables, ETC., but that's only half.
It's not the food alone that
counts but the good that we
get from food that furnishes
nourishment. A pound OF
steak is of less value to a
weak stomach than a crust OF
bread is to a strong digestion.
But weak stomachs can be
made strong. Begin by eat
ing less; have regular hours
for meals; avoid fancy things
and ABOUT a half hour after
eating take a tablespoonful OF
SCOTS Emulsion. It's a fact
Of medical history that people
have lived on not much else
but SCOTS Emulsion for a
long time-not only lived but
gained flesh and recovered
their strength and health.
From the pure Norwegian
cod liver oil to the last drop
Of glycerine, SCOTS Emulsion
contains just the strength
giving and health-building
elements needed for low vital
ity, weak digestion and poorly
nourished bodies.
