The Changing Age

Girls and boys from q to Io years
of age undergo physical changes
which tax their strength to the utmost
and the strain is always apparent from
pale cheeks, colorless lips. aud tired
bodies-sometime. eruptions of the skin
and the utter lack of the ambition and
animation with which their younger
years were filed.
Budding into womanhood and man
hood with the duties of school or business,
demands concentrated nouri n IN n
which is readily convertible into red blood
corpuscles, energy and strength, and the
very best thing for this changing age is
the medical nutriment in SCOTS Emul-
sion-it possesses the rare blood making
properties of cod liver oil in a predi-
gested form; hypophosphites for the
nervous system, with the healing, sooth-
ing qualities of pure glycerine.
Its pourishing force promotes assimila-
ton, yields direct returns in abundant,
red blood, fills hollow cheeks, tones the
nerves, makes all good food do good,
and does it in a natural easy manner.

OF the five constables elected in
Moline township in 1913. three are not

stable who has been active and he
has been doing all of the work for the

Charles Peal, Victor Lindquist and
Fred Z. Suman, the latter two social
lists. have done nothing since being
elected. There will be no changes
until 1917 unless by death, removal
from office or resignation.
Justice Williams says much incon-
venience is caused by one man having
to perform the duties of five. He in
timated that if there were to be any
designations they should be made at
once so that constables could be
elected at the coming April election.
