what a prominent
druggist said of SCOTS
Emulsion a sh ort time
ago. As a rule we don't
use or refer to testimonials
in addressing the public.
but the above remark and
similar 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 action of
SCOTS Emulsion is no
more of a secret than the
composition of the Emul-
sion itself. What it does
it does through nourish-
nent-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.

MARKET FOR COTTON
MARKET WAS NERVOUS AND UN-
 SETTLED AGAIN.
The Active Months Took New Low Levels for the Seas0n--Sales Were Estimated at 4O0,000
 Bales.

New York, Aug. 29s---rhe cotton mar ket was nervous and unsettled again, with the active months making new lew levels for the season. The close was steady at a net decline of 34 ( points. Sales were estimated at 100000 bales. The opening was barely steady at decline of SOS points, in response to lower cables and very favorable weather in the South as reflected by tLe early map. At first 1t looked as if some of the recent buyers ~for reaction were inclined to oppose decline. bus prices gradually weakened and 1n- points before midday with bearish sen tifnent encouraged by private coudi- ffon report placing the average dcteri- oration in prospect at little over , was heavy selling of October and De- cember for the account of bull leaders. and while covering was sufficiently ac- tive at the decline mentioned to cause rally of CT points. the market soon yielded again to- persistent pressure from local bears and reached the low point of the session in the afternoon, when October sold at $50, December at 800 and January at 9c> or l4ep l8 points net lower. This was followed by sharp recovery during the late trading and covering of shorts who may have been influenced by the approaching holidays
 Southern spot markets were un- changed to 3-I6 cent lower. Detailed weather reports showed rather heavy in some Eastern sections, but this attracted little attention.
 Receipts at the ports today, ll.30S bales, against S,514 last week and H. Da3 last year. For the week (esti- uaated). S5,000 bales against 49.414 last week and S9.620 last year.

CHILDREN LANDED.

ITInfgratfon Department Allows ltefaa gees to Find Asylum. Washington, Aug. 29.-'I.and Sarah
 Perlman. aged &, and twenty-eight children"
 Thls was the text Of a iaconIc tele- gram which was sent last evening by Acting Secretary Lawrence O., Murray of the Department of Commerce and Labor to acting Immi grafton C0fnnlis- sioner Murray at New York. On the face of it, the telegram was peculiar, particularly as Sarah Perirnan mas the prefix Miss" attached to her name.
 The dispatch had refernce to twenty eight Jewish children who have been brought to this country from Russia to be given homes by the United He- brew Societies. Their parents, in each case had been killed in the massacre of Jews at Kisninef. They were un- able to support themselves in Russia ard the Jews of Russia appeal to the Jews of the world to care for the or- phans. The United Hebrew Societies of New York agreed to take care of 100 orphans, provided that they could be landed in this country under the immigration laws
 Several days ago Miss Sarah Ferl- man arrived at Elhs Island in charge of thirty of the children, ranging in age from to 20 years. Under the law the board of inquiry was obliged to recommend their deportation as pau- pers. The case was brought Co the att tentfon of the immigration authorl- ties in Washington on an appeal It was shown that every one of the chil- dren had been guaranteed q good home and solieitioHs care and assurance was given that none of them would be- come public charge
 On the statements made the children were admitted to the country. Ads vices were received at the immigra- ton Bureau here today that the oF- phans were landed last night and that after a supper at the Ellis Island im- migration stations each one was pres sented with an American flag and turn ed over to the care takers.
