In the South Carolina Conference
of the Methodist Episcopal Church,
South, recently in session at Darling
ton, Rev. I'll. b. Browne introduced a
resolution that conference petition
the South Carolina General Assem-
bly, to enact marriage license law,
but the resolution was voted down,
107 TO 90. When the result was an
nounced, Bishop A. Coke Smith, a
former South Carolinian, expressed
qualification, because, he said, the
passage of such law would open
the way to the passage of a divorce
law, and he was proud of South
Carolina's record against divorces.

Consumption

Salt pork is a famous old
fashioned remedy for con-
sumption. "Eat plenty of
pork was the advice to the
consumptive 50 and 100
years ago.
Salt pork is good if q man
can stomach it. The idea
behind it is that fat is the
food the consumptive needs
most.
Scottish sEmulsionisthem
ern method of feeding fat to
the consumptive. Pork is too
rough for sensitive stomachs.
Scott's Emulsion is the most
refined of fats, especially
prepared for easy digestion.
Feeding him fat in this
way, which is often the only
way, is half the battle. but
Scott's Emulsion does more
than that. There is some
thing about the combination
of cod liver oiland hypophos-
phites in Scott's Emulsion
that puts new life into the
weak parts and has a special
action on the diseased lungs.
