DO THIS FIRST-Y0u!

You know, and every physician
knows, that when any sickness has
passed, whether it be throat trouble,
organic disturbances, contagious dis
eases, or even severe cold, a relapse
is feared, because sickness robs the
system Of Natures resistance and
leaves it subject to lingering germs.
Drugs never build up a wom-out
body-only food can do that, and the
first thing to take after any sickness is
the concentrated, ylood-making oil
food in SCOTS Emulsion, which feeds
the tissues, benefits the blood and
strengthens both lungs and throat.
Physicians prescribe SCOTS Emul-
sion aftersickness. Nurses everywhere
advocate it. SCOTS is pure medicinal
food, without alcohol or drugs.

Democrats Find They Have ''Put
Foot in IT by the Estey Attack
and in Their Quick Attempt to
Escape Get Other Foot Caught

The expected has happened; the Demo-
cratic organ has found out that it was
barking up the wrong tree when it began
its attacks upon Street Commissioner Es-
tey and now it is trying hard to get out
by saying Never did it," and has shifted
its attack to the shoulders of Overseer
of the Poor Giroux. Here again they are
doomed to disappointment as Mr.. Giroux
has made record in his department that
has not been equalled for years. He has

department in way that caused many
remarks of admiration from people who
