BOTH FOOD
AND MEDICINE.

We like best to call SCOTS
Emulsion a food-medicine. 1t
IS a term that aptly describes
the character and action of
our Emulsion. More than a
medlcine-.nore than a food,
yet combining the vital prin-
ciples of both. 1t is for this
reason that SCOTS Emulsion
has a distinct and special
value in all wasting diseases.
There is nothing better to
remedy the troubles of i'm
perfect growth and delicate
health in children. The action
of SCOTS Emulsion is just as
effective in treating weak
ness and wasting in adults.

FROM JAS. S. M'cANDLEss.

Following are copies of two letters
from J. S. McCandless to his brother
John. Mr.. McCandless went up on the
China and had good opportunity to
observe from the deck of the steamer
the confiagration that was devastating
San Francisco. He missed the earth
quake and does not seem to express
any regrets at his luck in that respect.
These letters are dated Oakland April
22nd and 25th and are as follows:
Dear Bro. John:
We'll we have had some stirring
things since we reached here.
Il will commence at the first and
I am sending you a lot of papers
which can tell you more than l can.
Some of the articles are sensational
but you can tell which is good and true.
I'VE saw the smoke, or rather we
ran into the smoke. on Thursday morn
ing IS or so miles from the heads and
when We passed the FaralIones we
could see great columns of smoke over
Frisco. Then we knew there was a big
fire. We got a pilot about ten miles
off shore. He had not been ashore for
three or four days but said they had
felt a very heavy earthquake on We'd
nesday morning at $40 and that San
Francisco had been burning ever since.
We dropped anchor off Meiggs
wharf a I 1905 and could see the fire
over on Montgomery Street and up on
Mob Hill right below the new Fair
mount Hotel. After passing quarantine
we up anchor and steamed to a point
opposite the Pacific Mail dock and an
chored alongside the steamer Mongo-
liza. The shipping had all left the docks
and anchored in the stream. From our
new location we could sac the fire on
the upper erd of Market street and all
over the Mission. Whep night came
we could see Russian Hill on fire and
the Croker, Flood and Stanford build
ings burning and also the Paramount.
Buildings We're being blown up all over
the city. The whole lower part of San
Francisco has gone up in smoke. the
fire extending as far up Market Street
on the South side as 21st St and to
Van Ness Ave. on the North. They
made a heroic stand at Van Ness Ave
nue. where they blew up every build
ing on the East side of the avenue.
BY doing this they saved the Western
Addition.

the report from Agnews, where SO
many unfortunates We're confined.
Miss Gertrude Whiteman of the Castle
Home received a letter from the daugh-
ter of the superintendent of the insti-
tuition on Saturday. The following eX-
tracts are made from it. 1t is dated
the 9th of April:
Just a line to tell you We are still
living and well. We are in tents on
the lawn and fairly comfortable.
though it is storming and it is hard to
keep warm and dry
we are getting out from under the
horror of it somewhat now, and are
able to get little sleep. 1 shall never

to me- They are fixing things wonder
fully we'll and nearly all of the pa
tients are under shelter. We have
plenty to eat and if sickness does not
break out we will get along all right
for awhile.
None of US has had clothes off since
the disaster. You can not imagine the
terror of it all. I awoke with a sense
of danger and jumped out of bed into
behind me. Papa pulled us into
doorway and said, 1T has come, let us
all go together And We clutched each
other to go TO our death. But the aw
full shake and crashing ceased and we
were still there able to crawl out on
the balcony from which We reached
the ground by means of ladder. We
escaped with our nightgowns only, but
have since saved considera bic clothing
and can keep warm. I lost my watch
and all of my pretty things. They
soon began to bring out the bodies of
the dead and the wounded, the latter
screaming in agony. Some We're buried
under the debris with broken limbs and
backs for hours before they could be
taken out. We gave wine and water
to the wounded and soon the doctors
and nurses were attending them.
THE lawn was strewn with bodies
and the blankets We're soaked with
blood. 1t was like a battlefield All
are now being treated in hospital tents
and are doing remarkably well. En-
ployes injured have been taken to hos
pitfalls in town. Our girl was badly in

sWEETENING THE WORLD.

The Statue of Liberty. at the en-
trance of New York harbor, holds aloft
in her outstretched hands a lighted
torch which symbolizes the fact that
the United States "enlightens the
world"
Florida is doing something very
nearly akin to it. She holds aloft a
Icornucopia in both her hands with
which she sweetens the world.
Read, for instance, the following
from the New York Packer, and while
Florida is not named, she is meant:
"a few more days and we shall be in
the midst Of watermelons, peaches and
cantaloupes. really a trio of as fine
dehcacies as can be found in the great
storehouse of natures sweets.
Watermelons! The very word brings
up visions of the luscious red meat
surcharged with a nectar At to offer
We gods of old.
Peaches! That queen Of the fruit
realm whose luscious flavor and nu-
tritiOus meat blend with the delicate

nation that wins favor with pauper and
prince alike.
"Cantaloupe! Dainty little gems
of concentrated sweetness. Who can dc
justice in describing the effect of eat
ing fine, full-ripe cantaloupe? These
gem melons are ambrosia indeed
Their odor is like the essence of roses
and their dainty meat would tickle
the palate and tighten the heart of the
sour dyspeptic and the stated gour-
nlond alike.
Bring on the trio Of sweets. They
cannot come too soon or last too long
The heat of summer loses part of its
dreaded effect because of the rare
fruits of the season. There are other
fruits that deserve words of praise
but the trio above mentioned is in the
public mind now and will soon have
the right of way in the markets of the
country"
But Florida's contribution does not
stop here. There is the pineapple, the
orange, the mango and basketful Of
other fruits to be added to her bless
ings.

more kindly treatment.

The reply is a repetition Of the same
line of thought that appeared in Sun

The only difference is that the I'M
pardonable sin of violating prohibitory
law is transferred fro Daytona to
Tallahassee! Miss Bell is quoted as
having observed that the law is violat-
ed. and parties were arrested in the
dry" county of Leoni Now that is
shocking, is it not? To think that any
one should violate single law in Leon
county is almost unthinkable! What a
pity that Leon went dry for up to
that time there was never any viola

prohibition has caused that county's

But really, Miss Bell is to be thank

trouble is that, according to the Ban

up our standard of absolute perfec-
ton, and if prohibition" knocks at
our county door it must give the pass
word-"absolute and effectual prohibit

tion"-or we will dub it absolute fall
ure!
Now we did not intend to provoke
controversy. We only wished TO ex-
press our great sorrow that there
should be such a thing as a violation
of law anywhere, since the least in
fraction renders a law nugatory!
With great sorrow I remain as ever,

ANDREW JOHNSON.

Hon Walter P. Brownlow, of Ten
nessee. has just made a great speech
in the congress of the United States
on the Acceptance of the Burial
Ground of Andrew Johnson as a Ma
tional Cemetery" and in which he
pays a glowing and fervid tribute to
this wonderful man.
Few men in the United States enjoy
a more conspicuous niche in the annals
of the nation than Andrew Johnson,
or who rose to distinction under more
adverse surroundings.
He was unable to read or write at
10, and had a widowed mother and
several brothers and sisters dependent
upon his efforts for support; yet with
almost superhuman determination, he
mastered the language and rose step
by step from alderman and mayor Of
his little home town until he became
president of the United States.
His achievement is something almost
surprising belief. There is nothing ap-
preaching it in our country's annals.
Well may his eulogist. pointing to
the marble shaft, which marks his
burial place, say:
The designs and inscriptions on that
chaste marble-the eagle, the flag, the
scroll. and the simple line, "His faith
in the people never wavered"-typify
the character it commentaries. Here
on this romantic spot, chosen by him
self, that shaft will stand, attracting
the gaze of those who pass on that
great highway yonder leading to the
north and TO the south, and to the
east and to the west. 1t will become a
pilgrim shrine to which generations
yet unborn shall journey TO pay hom-
age to the memory of one whose name
will grow more lustrious as time shall
lapse And these majestic mountains,
which will not survive his fame, look
ing down, shall sentinel the sepulchre
of this statesman, patriot, and friend
of the people-the defender Of the con-
stitution and the Union.
