TOO MANY CHILDREN
are under-size, under-weight

are under-SSZe, undeTsUeISht
with pinched faces and poor blood; they
do not complain but appetite lags, they
have no ambition and do not progress.
Such children need the rich medicinal
nourishment in Seott's En,ulaon above
everything else; its pure cod liver oil con-
tains natures own blood-torming, flesh
building fats which quickly show in rosy
cheeks, better appetite, firm flesh and
sturdy frames.
If your children are languid, tired
when rising, catch cold easily or find
their studies difficult, give them Seott's
En,alsion; it supplies the very food ele-
ments that their systems lack.
Seott's Emulion contains no alcohol
and is 50 good for growing children lisa
pity to keep it from them.

Brooks, depends largely upon our
ability to use sentences correctly
and effectively" Not only must
our sentences be grammaticaly cor
rebt but they must also possess GER
tain qualities which, as a usual
thing, are not at the command of a
book-keeper. These qualities may
be achieved by practice only. Modi-
iers must be placed next to the
word they modify; important ideas
must have a sentence or paragraph;
less important ideas may have a
clause; and finally, the least import
ant ideas may be expressed in a
word. A sentence, word, phrase or
clause may be emphasized by placing
it at the beginning of paragraph,
sentence, clause or phrase. The
skilful writer is able to use all these
in varying combinations, thus CIV
ing variety and interest to his die
ton.
Is the book keeper possessed with
these accomplishments?
In order to make clear to others
what one himself sees he must ar
range his ideas in natural time or
space order. Events are told as
they occur. For instance. we begin
the study of history with the re-
motest time and by connected events
told in their natural time order, we
arrive at the present. Then we
have a body of organized informa-
ton. With regard to the space
order, important events, are given
more space than unimportant events.
Has the book-keeper the slightest
idea of the above mentioned facts?
We are exceedingly careless about
our language, but when we express
ourselves in writing we notice our
difficulty in getting the proper word
to express the proper thought. For
instance, shall we say the bird for
sock her nest, left her nest, gave up
her nest, or refused her nest? Shall
we say the Savannah river separates
the States ofSouth Carolina and Geor-
gia, or divides South Carolina and
Georgia? Shall we say, I'VE cut the
log in two," or, I'VE cut the log
half in two? Do you not suppose
the bookkeeper would say, Il cut the
log half in two," and consider that
he had conveyed the correct idea?
All the aforementioned points
have to be mastered before one may
become efficient as a writer.
Longfellow, Poe, Holmes, Whittier,
Milton, Shakespeare, Dickens and
Thackeray had to master these es-
sentials, the same as you and |, be-
fore they ever could make other
people see what they themselves
saw.
| challenge my opponents to men,
t!on a single name of bookkeeper
who has a place among the immor-
tails in Westminster Abbey, or to
whose grave public endowment has
placed a monument.
The points mentioned in this COM
position, when mastered, are worth
vastly more, think, than the ability
to keep set of books.

DEEPENING OF
RIVER URGED

Delawareans interested in the de-
velopment of rivers and harbors plan
to take an active part in the annual
meeting of the National Rivers and
Harbors Congress. which convenes in
Washington, December 9. 10 and IL.
While the Congress is mainly an
organization for the benefit of the
rivers in the Middle West. the water
way adherents along the Atlantic
seaboard expect to make a greater
demonstration this year than ever
before. From the upper Hudson Ri
yer Valley a delegation of 100 will
60 TO the Congress prepared to press
their claims for a greater develop
ment of the Hudson River. Their ac-
tivity is said TO be directly due TO the
last convention of the Atlantic Deep
er Waterways Association, which
convened in a number OF the Hudson
River towns. The Hudson delega-
tion will go to New York city by boat
and from there to Washington on a
special train.
Massachusetts, will also send a
strong delegation in a special train
The claims of the Merrimac River
will be brought to the attention Of
the Congress by the delegation from
the Bay State. They will urge that
the value Of the Merrlmac as com
mercial stream be recognized.
The Philadelphia delegation, aided
by the delegations from New Jersey
and Delaware, will put forth every
effort in behalf of the Delaware Ri
yer. Congressman Moore recently
called attention to the fact that the
Federal appropriations for deepening
the Delaware River channel are not
only insufficient to carry on the work
properly, but are made less effective
because of a large part Of each APP

WHAT CATARRH IS

It has been said that every third person
is troubled with catarrh in some form.
Science has shown that nasal catarrh
indicates a weakened condition of the
body; that the secretion of the mucous
membranes are quickly affected, and local
treatments in the form of snuffs and
vapors do little, If any good.
To correct catarrh you should treat its
cause by enriching your blood with the
oil-food in SCOTS Emulsion which is a
medicinal food and buildinc-tonic, free
from alcohol or any harmfuldrugs. Tryit.
