Brighter CHILDREN

Children areprobably brlghterto-day
than a generation ago-but are they
stronger? That's grave question.
So many pinched faces, dulled eyes
and languid feelings make US wonder
if they will ever grow into robust,
healthy men and women.
If your children catch colds easily,
are tired when rising, lack healthy
color, or find studies difficult, give
them SCOTS Emulsion for one month
to enrich their blood and restore the
body-forces to healthy action.
SCOTS Emulsion is used in private
schools. 1t is not "patent medicine,
simply highly concentrated oil-iood,
without alcohol or harmful drugs. II

Ing on the windward side, the prob.
lem has been solved. When once the

dirt acts much like an anger. working
