RIGHT NOURISHMENT.

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 timc-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 hcalth-building
elements needed for low vital
ity, weak digestion and poorly
nourished bodies.

For Gentle Athletics.

q believe that the public schools Of
Wisconsin could make no better move
than to adopt Grecian games for their
athletic work, instead of the more dan
gerous and less valuable games now in
vogue said r. B Lawson Of Menasha,
at the Hotel Pfister. II have made d
careful study Of this matter, for my
interest was somewhat aroused by the
fact that my sons have been injured
in playing foot ball. In know that exer-
else is necessary for the development
Of the human body and that d healthy
body is essential for Il healthy mind.
II am now convinced that the old
games Of the Greeks, which resulted in
transforming little nation into world
power, are the best possible. Running,
jumping, discus throwing and hurdIing
give exercise to every muscle in the
body, without putting the contestants
in danger OF life and limb. am not
exactly an opponent of foot ball, but
rather an advocate Of athletic methods
which believe should replace foot ball.

RIVAL LEFT HIM ON RAILS

Bloomfield, N. j., Jan. 17.According
to the police, who say their statements
are based on confessions they have se-
cured the thirty-eight yearold wife Of
Thomas Hoff and the mother Of five
children, deliberately planned with Frank
Banasik, with whom she was infatuated,
to put her husband out Of the way.
Hoff was found dead on the Lackawanna
tracks on JAN Z. Banasik is under
arrest on charge Of having murdered
him. The woman is under custody at
her home. The police say the murder
II as sensational ats that for which
Mrs. Rogers was executed in Vermont
recently.
The police say both the woman and
Banasik have made confessions, Mrs.
HoH was the first TO break down; then
Banasik, on being confronted with her
statement, told the whole story Of how
he had piled his victim with liquor
until he was helpless, then Drained him
with mallet, and afterward placed his
body on the tracks, 50 that it would be
supposed that the man had been acci
dentally killed,
The body 81 Hof was found about
500 yards below the Lackawanna sta
ton her.
Chief of Police Collins said that the
woman had confessed she had full knowl
edge OF the crime. She has not been
locked mp at the police station as yet
because the police did not want to
take the woman away until provision
had been made for the care Of her chill

Collins. Banasik said he had planned

ask induced Hoa' TO 20 out with him
for strJll They visited a saloon at
the suggestion Of Banasik and there Hoif
took several drinks Of liquor He was
not drinking man, and the liquor
soon had effect. Before long he was in
comparatively helpless condition
Banasik then cnticed Hoff to the
Lackawanna railroad tracks and at a
lonely spot struck him on the head with
mallet, knocking him senseless. Ban
ask knew that milk train was due
to pass the spot in a short time and
he dragged his victim across the rails
aud left him there. A little later the
train came, struck the senseless man,
aud cut him ia two.
When the body was subsequently,
found, the police took ii for granted
that the man bad been walking on the
track and lad been accidentally struck
by the train. What gave them the first
clue to the fact that murder had been
committed, Chief Collins did not state.
The police will not tell the fun story
until the prisoners are arraigned.

INTERSECTIONS IN GRANITE.
Claim That Manufacturers Are Making
Trouble for Themselves.

In conversation recently with the
foreman for one Of che leading manu-
facturers. he suggested that mannfaet-
iirefs AZ a rule were making trouble for
themselves Ia claiming to have a quarry
which produced granite absolutely free
from inipeIfections. This was mention
ed III connection with large job which
was being handled By the concern en-
ploying The foreman, which concern
operated 4 quarry which produced gran
ite that was claimed TO be absolutely
free from imperfections The foreman
went on to say that In his many years
experience lie never had found d quarry
which produced granite that WAS above
criticism from the standpoint Of iniper-
fections, that these so-callca iinperfec-
tions were at times the beauty Of the
granite itself, andshelpod ont the gen
eral effect. Our attention was brought
To the wainscoting IN the south terrni-
nal station in Boston. also the shaft

cut. 1t is polished SO as to bring ont
The knots, making them more promi-
ncnt, and without Them we believe the
general effect Would be lost entirely.
We remember OF a story that we
heard at one time, and il is trnc ore,
regarding manufacturer. who since
has gone out OF business by the way,
at that time located at one Of the
manufacturing eenteTs. They secured
a contract for very expensive monu-
Dicnt, which was cut and set in the yard
Of The manufacturer. The purchaser
81 the monument examined IL. and found
fault with defect in the shape Of
knot on the front Of the die; this
monument, BY the way, had been con.
siderabiy delayed ia cutting. When the
purchaser found fault with the knot,
the manufacturer called the purchaser
attention to the fact that the contract
was somewhat behind, and said as a
reason that he had been endeayoring Ia
secure a piece pf granite with just this
Bo-called defect in ii, aud claimed that
ii added to the value of the monn-
mcnt. Anyway, the story goes, the
customer was folly satisfied that he was
receiving more than the value for his
money.
This win lead us "a believe that ii
che quarry owners would not claim that
they produced a granite entirely FREE
from defect that they would find that
they had eliminated considerable trou-
ble.-Granite, Marble and Bronze.

Another Cure BY

Accept my heartfelt thanks on be-
half Of my aged father, who for the
past six months has been severely
troubled with rheumatism in his left
arm, SO much SO, that he could no
longer work at his tailoring profession,
and after consulting the leading special
lists Of this city, and trying enough So
called remedies to sink boat, we finally
made up our mind that he was a hope
less invalid. / can truthfully assert the
fact that my fathers paralyzed arm
regained its full vigor and is to-day as
well as it ever was, after using Minard's
Liniment. II is really too good to be
true, but nevertheless my father has
never again suffered pain since using your
Liniment. Very gratefully yours,
Francis N. Spicola, IS Penn St., Provi-
dence, r. I.p
Minard's Liniment was prescribed by
DIR. Levi Minard in his private practice
fifty years ago. 1t Is the most effective,
economical, and clean-to-use external
application for rheumatism, neuralgia,
pleurisy, stiff, twisted joints, sore,
strained, or lame muscles, tired, aching
feet, any pain or ache, as we'll as for
throat and lung troubles, and as . gem
eral family medicine. So pure and
antiseptic, so powerful, penetrating,

justly earned its title King Of Pain.

down to steady basis, with the large

There is a different reason for each
