HEALTH PAST EIETY

Careful diet Is of utmost importance to
'nen and women past fifty years of age;
keeps up their strength, and the oil
food in Scott's Emulsion is a nourishing
food, curative medicine and sustaining
fonic to regulate the functions.
It contains the medicinal fats of pure
fod liver oil and science proves that they
urnish twice as much energy as other
oods-then too, it creates pure blood,
narpens the appetite, relieves rheurna-
ism, strengthens the body and alIeviates
ue ailments due to declining years.

The suggestion that the state get
possession of the little inland lakes
and reserve them for the people is
an excellent one. These little bodies
of water will have wholesome infiu-
ence upon public sentiment. The
pleasure connected with them is of an
elevating character. They are fea-
ture OF nature that should be pre-
served. II not soon devoted to popular
use they will be oommercialized and
lose their grateful influence upon the
civic character.
We should preserve the woods, too,
as far as possibls. They are beauti.
full and inspiring. They make people
better. The very air OF the forest
tranquilizes the spirit and prepares
it for nobler living Let US not turn
everything into money. Let money
be the object of little lake or piece

Grating. Let these blessings be duly

people for their enjoyment and uplift.
