That's what a prominent
druggist said of SCOTS
Emulsion a short time
ago. AS a rule we don't
use or refer to testimonials
in addressing the public,
but the above remark and
S m lar expressions are
made so often in connec-
ton with SCOTS Emulsion
that they are worthy of
occasional note. From
infancy to old age SCOTS
Emulsion offers a reliable
means of remedying i'm
proper and weak develop
ment, restoring lost flesh
and vitality, and repairing
waste. The a tt o n of
SCOTS Emulsion is no
more of a secret than the
composition of the Emul-
sion itself. What it does
it does through nourish-
ment-the kind of nourish-
ment that cannot be OBJ
tanned in ordinary food.
No system is too weak or
delicate to retain SCOTS
Emulsion and gather good
from it.

EFFICIENCY IN FARMING.

One of the most interesting phases of
American industrial activity at present
is the movement looking to the adoption
of more efficient methods of cultivating
the soil. 1t need not be assumed from
this that either the supply of land avail
able for agricultural uses is falling short
in the United States, or that the farmers
are less acute in the pursuit Of their vo-
cation than are their brothers in other
countries. Uncle Sam still has enough
his nephews, and the American farmer
easily stands at the head of his class
The liberallty of nature, which has pro-
vided him with "all out of doors" and a
soil of wonderful fertility, has been more
or less of a handicap to him, and he has
not learned certain lessons that might
have been of much benefit to him.
Choicest of his failures has been in not
taking full advantage of the opportuni-
ties of his position. While he has an
nually turned into the markets of the
world crops whose volume has aston
ished mankind, the American farmer has
until very recently paid little or no at
tention TO the conditions under which
his crops were grown.

WIEN CONGRESS REAssEMBLES.

The reassembling of congress this
week will mark the beginning of an ac-
tive work in which the entire country
will take very deep interest. As now
indicated, the matter which will com
mand first and greatest attention is that
relating to the regulation of railway
rates, which in the judgment of both
senators and representatives unques-
tionably commands the leading place in
the interest of all members of congress.
Until that question is determined none
other will supersede it in importance
and undoubtedly this is fully realized
by every member of congress.
In other directions the congress will
be called upon to exert itself very ac-
lively. There are questions of vital i'm
portance that will call for action and
some of them for very prompt action.
The Panama canal matter occupies
conspicuous position and is urgent. The
money necessary to meet immediate de-
mands has been provided. All present
creditors of the government will be
paid. But congress has called halt,
and very properly so, on carelessness
and extravaganza in expenditures. The
idea is that expenses must be cut down
and that on every hand there must be
curtailment in outlay. We are by no
means sure that this view will be infu-
entail in congress, although it may have
the approval of a majority of the men
to whom it is submitted. 1t is a very
hard matter to win persons over to con-
ditions with which they are not famil-
financial nature. The one we have I'M
der consideration Is peculiarly sensitive
and therefore peculiarly liable to I'M
usual and, under some conditions, to ex-
traordinary circumstances. Still it is
the evident intention to keep the Pan
anna canal expenses within such reason
able bounds as in the opinion of con-
gress is discreet A question Of COM
handing interest which will probably
be prominent in the attention of the
present congress is that Of the merchant
marine. There is a very strong senti-
ment in favor of doing something for
the building up of a merchant marine,
but it is by no means certain that there
will be any legislation, although at pres
emit the indications are favorable. The
German tariff question will undoubtedly
engross a good deal Of attention, but
with what result cannot be foreseen.
At least score of questions Of the high
est interest will be considered and
acted upon by the fifty-ninth congress
and we make no mistake when we say
that few congresses have been called
upon for a greater exercise of wisdom
and judgment, both as to foreign and
domestic affairs, than will be demanded
of the congress which will resume its
legislative labors two days hence. It
will make history in which not only
our own country but all the world will
be interested.

THE PURE FOOD CRUSADE.

That the crusade for pure food has ac-
complished much good is not to be
doubted, and there is every reason to
believe that it will accomplish more
The bill introduced in congress is very
likely to be passed and if it does the
pure food question will be practically
settled for this measure, framed by
Senator Hepburn OF Idaho, is a very
comprehensive bill and is intended to
do away and undoubtedly would do
away with the fraudulent foods and
drugs which are now extensively sold
as pure.
Unquestionably a national pure food
law is needed and il should be a model
to which state legislation may conform.
Ii can only deal with the manufacture,
labelling and sale OF articles within the
exclusive Jurisdiction OF the United
States and traffic which extends be
tween states or 10 foreign countries, but
1t is manifestly desirable that there
should be a standard that will be ac-
cepted uniformly by the states. The
greatest difficulty now arises from the
conflict of state laws and they should
be brought into harmony so far as pos
sible. A national statute generally ac
eeptable would do much TO bring about
Omaha daily bee., 1906-01-02

that result. for the need OF uniformity
is recognized and it would be almost 8
matter of necessity TO make regulation
within the states conform with that for
interstate traffic. unless the law itself
should make il difficult. Honest manu-
facturers and dealers have no ground
for opposing an act which would ef-
fectually prevent injurious or fraudu-
lent adulteration or deception in label
ing. 1t would be a protection to them
against dishonest competition. Any OPP

The first leaf Omaha should turn over
is to stop magnifying its population and
exaggerating its commerce. The truth
is good enough. A false statement once
sion OF false statements until the false.
hood becomes so palpable that it can
no~longer be sustained, or the truth con
cealed. In its annual review of Janu-
airy 1, 1890. The Bee placed the popula-
ton of Omaha at 10000. and that was
stretching il TO the utmost -Four months
later a cQnscienceless census supervisor
returned the population of Omaha as
$4,000. For that census padding
Omaha has suffered incalculable injury
and humiliation.
The same spirit OF brag has prevailed
for the past two or three years concerns
ing Omaha's commercial growth. In
December, 1904, the former secretary Of
the Commercial club, who is no SLOUGH
as n magnifer. gave it out cold that the
output OF Omaha's factories and pack
ing houses for the year 1904 had reached
the stupendous figure of S2S2, 100000,
and the volume of its wholesale trade
was represented by him as exceeding
s113000,OOO. These figures were pub
lshsd in the New Years numbers of 1905
of all the Omaha dailies because they
were presumed to be correct or some
where near correct. As a matter Of fact
they were as far from the truth as
Omaha is from the north pole.
In order to have reliable data for its
Jubilee Edition, The Bee made care
full canvass among the jobbers and man.
ufacturers Of Omaha and the most lib
eral estimate procurable shows the total
output Of Omaha and South Omaha
manufacturing establishments during
the year 1905 to have been slightly in
excess of $175OO0,OOO, or $1O7, 100000

$T5 ZOO, 600 as against S113,OO0,OO0 given
out for 1904.
To keep up the imposture. our local
contemporaries have raised the fake
estimates of 1904 by from 30 to 40 per
cent in their reviews OF Omahas com
merce, and output of its manufactures
has been advertised as aggregating
$3.50, OOO, 600, or nearly double its actual
volume, and the jobbing trade is repre-
scented as S136,O00,O 900, or fully 100000
600 greater than it actually was for
1905
with this progressive systematic
padding of Omaha's commercial activi-
ties we should within few years over
take Chicago or possibly even New
York, and make ourselves the laughing
stock Of the whole country, besides be-
ing discredited for any statement that
RIGHT emanate either from the Com
NE, cial club or from the Omaha news
papers. That would infiict greater in
jury on Omaha than did the padded
census of 1890. Is 1t not about time to

as carefully as they breed live stock, and
the day of the nubbn has apparently
passed. In some sections the same at
tention has been given TO wheat, with
similar results. Complaint is made by
the milling papers that the American
farmer does not provide with sufficient
care for his wheat crop. Ii is suggested
that the annual yield might be increased
by at least 30 per cent. without addition
to the acreage. If more care was OBJ
served in preparing the ground and look
ing after the crop. Whether this is well
founded or not, it remains a fact that
the yield of corn was increased with
added attention to conditions surround
ing its growth. In this light it appears
reasonable that the wheat crop might be
similarly affected 1t is the object of
the agricultural experts to get these
facts before the farmer. that he may be
enabled to produce more from his land
without additional effort.
Intensified farming is not yet the prac
tice in the United States. yet it is not n
wild prediction, in the light of the ex-
perience OF the last few years. that more
efficient methods of cropping the soil are
coming into vogue and will soon prevail.
The zenith Of American ascendancy in
the agricultural affairs of the world has
not yet been touched, and in the light Of
the figures recently furnished by Secre-
tary Wilson. one hesitates to think Of
the total when farming shall be carried
on with proper efficiency.

sANuARY prsBuRsEMENrs.

The dividend and interest disburse-
ments to be made during the present
month will break all records. Accord
ing to the New York Journal of Com
merce which is very high authority, the
grand total Of such disbursements is a
little in excess of $41,OOO,OOO, which is
more than $4,0OO,OOO in excess of last
year, when the highest record was
made. This shows a measure of mate
rial progress and prosperity which
ought to be highly gratifying to all our
people. While the gain in disburse-
ments this year as compared with a
year ago is not very great, yet when
it is considered that last years amount
was extraordinary in comparison with
previous years we can understand the
relative importance of the present years
progress.
As matter Of fact the gain made is
very large and indicates a progress
which it is not an exaggeration to call
remarkable. A parallel to it cannot be
think there is no previous record equal
to it In our own country. This is espe-
cially true of the banks, quite number
Of which have increased their dividends

also, that the industrial institutions will
pay out larger dividends this year than
they distributed a year ago, the aggre-
gate increase being more than $1,000

stantial evidence that could possibly be
given Of the progress and prosperity,
industrially and commercially, of the
country during the past year, and it
also conveys great assurance for the
