President Roosevelt breaks the record
in giving much counsel to congress and
advice to the people.
The message is being criticised the
more because of the fact, with all this
vast volume Of 2S,O0O words, the most
important question before the Ameri.
can people today Is studiously ignored
The tariff question is left alone even
in the biggest message ever delivered

FOR WHICH THE MESSAGE

is MOST CRITICISED.
The most dlsoouraging feature of
Mr.. Roosevelt's long message, devoted
largely to a kindly discussion Of arti-
fetal means OF regulating certain
monopolies. is that It says nothing
about reforming the tariff policy. which
Is the father and ta2 mother of most
OF said monopolies, says the Dallas
News. II has been pointed out that
his message Of $4,000 words breaks the
record for bulk; that President Wash

TELLS BY
THEIR SLEEP

THEIR SLEEP
~ can tell by my little
ones sleep when a cold is
coming on" said a mother
when speaking of the advance
symptoms of colds in children.
" They toss about, are rest
less, their breathing is heavy
and there are symptoms of
night sweats. The next morn
ing | start with SCOTS Emul-
sion. The chances are that
in a day or two they are all
over it. Their rest is again
peaceful and the breathing
normal"
Here's a suggestion for
all mothers. SCOTS Emul-
sion always has been almost
magical in its action when
used as the ounce Of preven-
ton. Nothing seems to over
come child weakness quite so
effectively and quickly as
SCOTS Emulsion.
