Older BUT STRONGER

To be healthy at seventy prepare at
forty, is sound advice, because in the
strength of middle life we too often forget
that neglected colds, or careless treat
ment of slight aches and pains, simply
undermine strength and bring chronic
weakness for later years.
To be stronger when older, keep your
blood pure and rich and active with the
strength building and blood-nourishing
properties of SCOTS Emulsion which is a
food, tonic and medicine to keep your
blood rich, alleviate rheumatism and
avoid sickness. No alcohol in SCOTS.

his speed arena associate, Mr.. Phillip
Commence, had gone to the metropolis
of this great commonwealth to hob
mob during the day with his parental
ancestors, his mode of transportation
being good old Samantha, tried and
heretofore true. On the return trip
however, she sprung a leak, and the
tire on the off hind leg gave up its
contents in the twinkling of an eye.
The night was dark, and the way
long, so the hero of this story con-
tented himself by curling up as COM
fortably as possible in the captains
cabin, where he spent the remaining
hours until dawn in none too sweet
dreams. Welcoming the crimson hues
that appeared in the eastern sky, he

none the worse for his experience.

In private enterprise, explanations
and excuses don't go. The employer
of a travelling salesman doesn't want
explanations; he wants orders. The
manufacturer doesn't want excuses
he wants buyers. The employee who
comes back with excuses instead of
orders, soon loses his job. The demo-
cratic administration has had many
explanations for the business depres-
sion that followed its accession to
power. First it was psychological"
then a state of mind" then finally
the European war furnished a plaus-
ible excuse. But the American peo-
pie, like all good business men, want
public servants who deliver results.
not explanations and excuses.
