HOW TO GET STRENGTH

after any sickness is purely a matter of
nourishment, whether the attack was
an ordinary cold or severe illness; the
weakened forces cannot repulse disease
germs, and this is why a relapse is so
often fatal or why chronic weakness often
follows sickness.
Restoring strength TO millions Of people
for forty years has proven the real need
for taking Scott's Emulsion after any
sickness; nothing equals it nothing
compares with it. Its pure, medicinal
nourishment, free from alcohol or opiates,
promptly creates rich blood, strengthens
the nerves and lungs to avert tuberculosis.

25i-MILE AQUEDUCT.
Los Angeles Engineering Work Ex-
ceeds Fests Of Ancient Rome.

The completion OF the Los Angeles
aqueduct, which is described in the Scicn-
tinc American, marks the successful end
ing Of an arduous struggle. with nature
In It's most rugged aspects of mountain
and desert, and with powerful interests
for the possession Of a priceless supply
of water
The ten aqucducts of ancient Rome
were marvels of durability and engineer
Ing skill, but their construction stretched
over period of five centuries against
eight years that have elapsed since the
Los Angeles aqueduct was first proposed.
The length and dimensions of the an
cient Roman aqucducts bear no compar-
son with that of Los Angeles The long
est of the Roman aqueducts was g. miles,
while the Los Angeles equeduct is 25i
miles In length, from the intake of the
owens River to the city limits Of Los
Angeles
The irrigation aqueducts of the Inca
Indians OF ancient Peru, one Of which
was 800 miles long, are among the won
ders Of the world, especially when it is
considered that they were constructed by
people uniformed as to modern en-
cheering science and It's methods. But
centuries were probably required In build
ing them.
The $50 miles of iron pipe, 80 inches In
diameter. which conveys water across
the arid plains of Western Australia to
the gold mining districts of Kalgoorlie
and CoolEarde. is one of the truimphs
OF modern constructive hydraulic engi-
neerng; but this construction, though In
n hot and watcrless country, was COM
paratively level, while the Los Angeles
aqueduct borcs through miles Of solid
rock crosses valleys on pillars Of con-
crete in some places. and through huge
steel siphons in others, and Is of far
greater Dimensions than the notable Aus
tralian structure.
The great Ashokan apucduCt to supply
the city of New York is the only moderr
hydraulic enterprise intended mainly for
domestic and Industrial use that com
paros fairly with the Los Angeles aque-
duct.
The New York aqueduct crosses the
Hudson more than LOCO feet beneath the
river bed and will supply 5n.c"o,oN sal-
Ions daily Tho Los Angeles aqucduct
has not much more than half its capacity
but it Is about twice as long, passes
through an lncomparably rouGhcr coun-
try, and its cost, when completed, will be
loss than unc-lifth Of that Of the great

agents. The Greater Vermont association
resolved to see to it that all the coun-
ties were fully advised Of this great OPP
portunity, and were strongly urged to
avail themselves Of It. The counties were
fairly Hooded with circulars describing
the work Of the county advisors and the
aid which might be secured from the
office Of farm management AT Washing

changes at Chicago The superintendent
Of road construction from the office OF

culture whom the association had secur-
cd to lecture on good roads before boards

| by the secretary Of the association who
told business mon and farmers what the
county advisor would do for them and
how they might organize 20 secure this
service
! Boards Of trade began 10 send night
letters OF inquiry and appeal TO Wash
ington and Chicago Special committees
called county meetings which brought
together enthusiastic business men and
farmers I'm larger gathering than had
ever been deemed possible. The comment
of observers was that Vermont was going
about this business In do or die spirit.
The secretary OF the council Of grain OK
changes wrote scarcely a day passes
that We DO not hear from one or more
counties In your territory" As result
Of this crusade every county in Vermont
has made moves toward securing a county
advisor While five counties have advis-
ors in the field one is lust now searching
| for tho proper man, three others have
perfected their county organizations, and
the others have taken some action. Tho
association viii not cease to sound its

But tho association has not made tho

STATUES POLISHED KNEES.
Mystery OF Washington EffIpy Finally
Explained

cor the hundreds of thousands whose
business take them to Wall street during
the week" remarked the New York brok-
er, there must surely bc some who have
noticed a peculiar fact about the statue
of Washington in front OF the sub-treas-
AIRY. The bronze legs. from a little above
the knees down. are brightly polished
Whil" tn" rest of the figure has the d!ngy
appearance Of all statues that stand In
the open air.
II started wondering years ago why
this should be, but it was not until last
week that | solved the problem. For the
first time in my life ! had occasion to
go to my office on Sunday. Wall Street
was absolutely deserted. except for a
time playing tag or running races to the
corner
presently one urchin shouted: Let's
have a slide bctcher l can get there
first" The challenge was accepted. and
the boys raced over to the sub-treasury.
one after another they scrambled up the
statue of the father Of their country UNI
til they reached his waist. Then. clasp
Ing their arms about the leg that Is
thrust forward, they slid to the ground.
They enjoyed themselves to the fun and
it didn't seem to me that Washington's
dignity suffered a bit from the perform
ance.
From the carctaker of my office build
ing l learned that | had been witnessing
a game that has been INDUCED In for
generations. He himself, when boy
had found the big statue a good substitute
for ianlter. A for the kids I had seen,
