ounce of Scott s Emulsion. It
is strange, but it often happens.
Somehow the ounce produces
the pound; it seems to start
the digestive machinery going
properly, so that the patient is
able to digest and absorb his
ordinary food which he could

USING MILITIA RIFLE

the responsibility of assisting the aero
nauts, Wilbur Wright and Glenn H

committed suicide in his bunk outside
the redoubt of Fort Jay last night
shooting himself through the head with

Caron had been delegated to assist
Wright and Curtiss in the preparations
for their flights during the last two

cite him.
During the late afternoon yesterday
when Wright was preparing to fly he
frequently turned to soldier near him
and remarked:
"Why don't that fellow go up?
can't stand it any longer"
After Wright had made his last flight
last evening and the crowd of visitors
had left the island, Caron went to his
bunk, and as he was turning In salo
to his roommate:
Harris, old boy good by"
Then Caron reached over to one sidf
and grabbed his rifle, and before Harris
could prevent him placed it to his heae
and fired.
Caron served four years in the Philip
pines and received several medals foi

that most of the tired, half-sick people
that are so common nowadays have

result is general good health. MY med
