BRIGHTER CHILDREN

Children probably brighterto-day
than a generation ago-but are they
stronger1 That's a grave question.
So many pinched faces, dulied 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
bodyforces to healthy action.
SCOTS Emulsion is used in private
schools. 1t is not patent medicine,
simply a highly concentrated oiI.food,

WHAT GOOD HIGHWAYS MEAN

The threat of a general railroad
strike carried, no such dread TO Cleve.
land as to, many large cities. While
Cleveland is intersected by six railroad
systems. it is. also the focal point for
"a system of brick highways that is re-
.garded by experts. as the most com
.plete, >. and substantial in America.
When fear of a strike was at its high,
est, plans were practically formulated
for making, CLEVELAND, Independent OF
rail transportation so far as the. neces-
Sites or life are concerned. ''" "''"
A. preliminary, survey showed that
the city had supplies to last. variously
from one to twenty days. the shortest
period being for milk and the longest
for meat. Cleveland produces seventy
five per cent of its. -four and the raw
material, wheat, comes largely by
boat
b.. Mayor Harry l.. Davis took the lead
in calling for a volunteer mobilization
of motor trucks, to take effect in case
rail transport stopped. 1t was found
according to the Cleveland Automobile
Club that paved roads reached practi-
caIly every dairying locality which
served the city. The latest meat sup
ply, within trucking radius, was esti-
mated as sufficient to lost for two
months.
In the matter of fret vegetables
and fruits there was never a moments
anxiety Paved highways have so slim
ulated market gardening in the yicini
ty of Cleveland that the ity is actual
ly an exporting point fUr vegetables,
rather than an importing point Most
OF these gardeners have greenhouses
and reach the Cleveland market at
least once daily the year round.

HARDING VS.. MEREDITH.

In the Oakland debate, of which the
Sioux City Journal prints a steno-
graphic report, Mr.. Harding said he
had never kept whiskey in mis- house
and that he never drank it and had
never signed a saloon petition. Mr..
Meredith, since it was confession day.
had to admit that he kept whiskey in
his house, that Re had drank cham
payne at other peoples tables and had
served it at his own-he mentioned
host and guest-and he didn't deny
that he had signed saloon petitions.
These are their personal records
says the Cedar Rapids, Republican,
and it is largely personal whether a
man takes a drink or not But if Hard
ing had been compelled to confess,
what a fuss they would be, making
about it. They would be calling him a
wine bibber and doubly wet" Hard
ing would never hear the last of it.
But after Meredith had made his con-
ifession, Mr.. Harding in his reply
treated him as one gentleman ought
to treat another-he said Meredith's
habits were his own concern, but he
was sorry that a man who held such
beliefs and followed such practices
should assume the right 10 call anOth-
