LINCOLN, Feb. S-(Special.) -Colonel
Henry Clay Richmond of Omaha, states
man, journalist, orator, and now Off
ciating in the way of maker of governors,
is again on the job. The last time Colo
mel Richmond visited Lincoln he picked
a candidate for the democratic nomina-
ton for governor in the person of Lin
coin merchant, but the picking was not
good and the candidate did not appear
to be ripe for the plucking.
This time he comes forward and pushes
his fellow townsman and next door neigh
Dor. Sophus F. Nebe. editor of the Danish
Pioneer Of Omaha. as the man to lead
the badly demoralized hosts of democ-
racy up the hill OF dependency. He says
that Nebraska would do itslef proud to
elect Colonel Neble governor and he ID
for him. Us
Colonel Richmond Is one of those self
sacrificing individuals who is always
boosting somebody else. He has ruined q
valuable pair of eyes looking over the

IS POUNDS or BLOOD

Is the average quantity in a healthy
adult, but it is the quality of the blood
that determines our strength to resist
sickness. With weak blood we find
cold hands and chilly feet; in children
an aversion to study, and in adults
rheumatic tendencies.
In changing seasons get abundant
fresh air and take spoonful of SCOTS
Emulsion after meals, because Scott S
Emulsion is a rich blood-food that will
increase both quantity and quality Of
the blood while it warns the body and
helps carry off the impurities.
When multitudes of people are to-
day taking SCOTS Emulsion to avert
winter sickness, and are giving it to
their children, it is careless to neglect
its benefits. Look out for substitutes.
