This decision is the result Of a discus
sion OF the question Of a change in the
arrangement OF the stars, with view to
a subsequent addition OF two stars, In
which event there will be six rows Of
eight stars each in regular columns. The
war and navy departments received nu-
merous suggestions. some of them coming
from school children in various parts of
the country, and others from patriotic So
cieties, anxious to be the author Of a new
field. II was decided that 1t would be
better to adhere to the simple form, which
the traditional arrangement of stars in the
flag, with which the people had become
acquainted. and which has prevailed the
last 80 years.

man and fish is the trade
mark ofScott's Emulsion,
and is the synonym for
strength and purity. 1t is sold
in almost all the civilized coun-
tries of the globe.
If the cod fish became extinct
it would be a worldwide calam-
ity, because the oil that comes
from it's liver surpasses all other
fats in nourishing and life-giving
properties. Thirty years ago
the proprietors of Scott's Emul-
sion found a way OF preparing
cod liver oil so that everyone can
take it and get the full value OF
the oil without the Objectionable
taste. Scott's Emulsion is the
best thing in the world for weak,
backward children, thin, delicate
people, and all conditions OF
wasting and lost strength.

to the accompaniment of jingling or

init is said that Bryanites prefer to
give a silver dollar, while others send
in a gold certificate and ask for
change-it is rather surprising to
consider how few of the willing con-

many, ranging from the belief in
some awful and hiden wholesale cor
ruption-at a dollar per;-to the con-
viction that these contributions are
used in making the life of the COM
mitteemen more roseate. AS matter
of fact, letters of inquiry which are
received here by campaign members
indicate that mighty few people rea.

of contributions is held back until
election day, and that on that on that
day the chief emergency is not its

large amounts, for travelling expenses
and the dissemination of literature,

WATCH FOR The LABEL |
is STAMP OF PURE FOOD
Canned Goods Which Bear the
Work OF Government Inspected
Meats-Law Effective on Oct. |.

All meat products on sale in Rich
mond stores will after october /. bear
on the can in which they are packed
a statement as to the constituent ele-

officials who will have to do with the
enforcement of the meat inspection
law and the pure food law.
The meat inspectio nlaw does not
require such labelling, but the pure
food law does. The packers wished
to reach an agreement, that would
enable them TO print labels for use

requirements of the pu1e food lJv,
