OIL FOR THE BODY

You can't lose an atom
without feeling it. The body
is like an engine, a watch,
a machine; must be kept in
good order to run right.
That's the reason SCOTS
Emulsion is SO successful in
all wasting diseases. 1t feeds,
nourishes and strengthens
when ordinary food won't.
Doctors say SCOTS Emul-
sion is the best nourishment
for those who are not as well
as they should be-
We use the whole oil IN
SCOTS Emulsion because the
great reputation of cod liver
oil as a food and medicine
was made by using it in this
way. Substitutes in the shape
Of wines, cordials, extracts,
etc, should be carefully
avoided.

of Canadians during the seven years
he has been a member of the high
Joint commission whose object has
been the settlement Of a few trouble
some questions between the coun-
tries. The vice president, as every
one knows, is not given to the express
sion Of very decided views on any
subject. but he said the other day to
a friend:
cit would be a good thing If the peo-
nile of the United States had closer
knowledge of their neighbors to the
north. Let them go up into the broad
wheat lands Of that mighty country
stretching west from Winnipeg to the
Rockies and they viii find a pretty
good lot of Americans there" This
opinion is agreed to by a group OF
washington correspondents who re-
cently made a tour of Canada from
Montreal to Victoria, spending a week
in the great northwest wheat HELD
The people met by the Washington
fans and what they are accomplishing
were revelations.
Some Of these newspaper men mao
never gotten rid OF their school geog-
raphy ideas that q few miles above the
International boundary began the reign
of eternal snow and ice. They knew
of~course, that the Canadian PACING
railway ran clear across Canada, but
without a practical view Of what this
railroad had accomplished they could
not realize ths possibilities and great
ness of the country. When they found
GOOD farmers from the United States
raising as high as 40 bushels Of wheat
to the acre as far north as Edmonton
they reformed their ideas Of geography
and their estimate Of Canada.

profession, gain that physical tone

and come back like young man of 30
TO take up diplomatic and state puzzles
with a zest.
Mr.. Root is the youngest looking
man there ever has been in the public
service, and lie will come back from
the wilds Of Labrador looking little
more than half his age. There was a
general approval throughout Official
circles when MIR. Root was named by
Mr.. Roosevelt as premier of his ad-
ministration. No one had guessed
this able statesman, who had a little
over a year before resigned from the
cabineS because he wanted to get back
into the profession of law, where he
could earn competence before he
grew too old. Few believed that, with
all the enormous fees he had won In
that short time, that he had acquired
a SUFFICIENT fortune with which to re-
turn to public life. But it appears that
within that time Mrs. Root has fallen
heir to several millions, and her distin-
guished husband can follow the bent of
his ambition in a political way.

matte bug duriag our trouble in China

Root the other day, when he admitted
that he wanted to be secretary of state.

matte business of that period, Secre-
tary Hay being absent from Washing

departments, and his promptness and
decision counted for much.

away in a red devil'' automobile,
caught a fast train and hurried to the
cool shores of lake Champlain, where
Congressman Joe" Sibley awaited
him in a beautiful summer cottage and
soon made him forget the annoyances
he had encountered In Washington.
Congressman Sibley Is the rich oil
man and stock raiser OF Pennsylvania,
who has been a republican, q prohibi-
zionist, a populist, a democrat, and
then a republican again, but who Is
the most universally liked man in the
house of representatives. And why
should he not lie popular? His three
big touring car automobiles are at the
command of his friends. He gives on
an average two sumptuous banquets
each month during sessions Of con-
gress in the marble mansion on K
street built and occupied by the late
John Sherman. These dinners cost
about SIS a plate, and Sibley is not
niggardly With his invitations. He has
a swift yacht Oh Lake Champlain and
a summer home where his congression-
al cronies are entertained In royal
style.
Sibley's popularity is not confined to
his own side OF the house, but all the
democratic leaders are his guests at
some time during the session, and the
influence he Gao exert in a social way
counts for a good deal in legislation.
Sibley can speak on the floor, but his
big-hearted hospitality Is his greatest
card.

ACTUARY TESFIFlES.
Regarding the PrudentiaPs Affairs
Before the Committee.

New York, Dec John K. Gore,
actuary of the Prudential Insurance
Company of America, was first called
to the witness stand in the life insur-
ance investigation yesterday. Hesubmit-
ted a list of dividends paid on industrial
insurance by his company. 1t showed
the payment in 1904, Of $4,000 of 'ad-
ditional benefits" payable in case OF
death Of the insured five years after
the issue of the policy.
Mr.. Gore said industrial insurance in
this country is still in the experiment
tai stage and that the company regard
ed it necessary to hold large funds to
meet possible heavy demands.
Mr.. Gore said that about 81 per cent
of the industrial Insurance written by
his company in 1904, lapsed in the same
year.
Senator John +. Dryden, president Of
the Prudential, was recalled and Mr..
Hughes asked him about the apparent
waste Of policyhOlders through lapses.
Senator Dryden said that what his
polieyholders saved by insurance they
would save in no other way. Senator
Dryden agreed with Mr.. Hughes that
apparently about two-thirds Of the in
sured get nothing back and the senator
added that this is regrettable and un-
fortunate, but nevertheless, he assert
ed, the system is the greatest economic
force in the country today.

TAINTED" LECTURES.
Declined by Columbus, Ohio. Trades
and Labor Assembly.

Columbus, O., Dec. 14.-Consider-
able comment has been oceasioned by
the action of the Columbus Trades and
Labor assembly at last nights meeting
in declining to accept the services Of a
professor of the Chicago university to
deliver a course of lectures here under
the auspices of the assembly. The as
sembly was asked to pay a portion Of
the expenses Of the professor and the
assembly promptly declined to receive
the services of the Chicago man.
The reason given is that the Chicago
university has John D. Rockefeller as
a benefactor and it is almost entirely
due to his contributions that the uni
versity enjoys its extensiveness and
high rank in the educational work.
one of the delegates maintained that
the professors at the University of Chi
caeo had to teach and stand for the
things that were favored by the oil
magnate, and when they ceased to do
this. their positions were in jeopardy
In view of this, the proposition was
turned down, and a committee consist
ing of Delegates Phelan, Houck and
Little appointed to arrange for lee
lures, securing them from a source
above suspicion"
