CONSUMPTION TAKES
$50 PEOPLE DAILY

Over $50 people succumb to con-
sumption every day in the United States.
Science proves that the germs only
thrive when the system is weakened from
colds or sickness, overwork, confirming
duties or when general weakness exists.
The best physicians point out that
during changing seasons the blood should
be made rich and pure and active by tax
ing SCOTS Emulsion after meals. The cod
liver oil in SCOTS Emulsion warns the
body by enriching the blood; it peculiarly
strengthens the lungs and throat, while it
upbuilds the resistive forces of the body
to avoid colds and prevent consumption.
If you work indoors, tire easily. feel
languid or nervous. Scott's Emulsion Is the
most strengthening food-medicine known.
1t is totally free. from alcohol or any
supplying drug. Avoid substitutes.

GERMAN WIRELESS

BALTIMORE, Dec. f5.-The wire-
less apparatus on the German steamer
Bulgaria, interned in the harbor here,
was sealed by a United States naval
officer from Washington late today.
1t is known that a naval wireless eX-
pert has been i'm the neighbOrhoOd or
the ship for several days making OBJ
servations. Local officials of the gov
ernment admitted that charges had
been made that messages were re-
ceved and sent recently from the ship
but would not discuss the matter
further.
The Bulgaria was interned early in
the war along with the North German
Lloyd steamers Rhine and Neckar,
which are lying off Locust point. The
officers and part Of the crew Of the
Bulgaria still make their home on the
ship. Nearly all are German citizens.
They come and go much as they wish,
there being no watch kept on their
movements.
