NOT ENOUGH CHILDREN

ever receive the proper balance of food
to sufficiently nourish both body and
brain during the growing period when
natures demands are greater than in
mature life. This is shown in so many
pale faces, lean bodies. frequent colds,
and lack of ambition.
FOR all such children we say with
unulistakable earnestness: They need
SCOTS Emulsion, and need it now. 1t
possesses in concentrated form the very
food elements to enrich their blood. Ii
changes weakness to strength; it makes
them sturdy and strong. No alcohol.

Emblem That is Historic.

OF historical interest is the emblem
found on every prescription written by
physician, consisting Of the letter X
with thin line across the tail at an
acute angle. According to historians
it had its origin IN the ancient custom
of allowing the stars to dominate every
day incidents Of life. The II thus
marked is said to have been the em-
blem used by the ancients to desig-
nate the supremacy Of the planet Jup-
tier. Therefore it seems probable that
some chemist Of ancient days gave a
prescription or a recipe to some pa
tient and wrote upon It the emblem
of the planet then in the ascendancy,
which happened to be Jupiter. This
emblem has come down to the present
time and is always used. In a more
modern sense IT stands for recipe, or
an order or instruction to take some
thing. Literally construed, 1t means
take" or take thou"

Who the crandmothor Was.

/ called the other day to see a
wounded officer who Is under treat
ment at a hospital In Hampshire. The
hospital Is a wing Of a mansion built
on a hilltop, and the approaches to it
are slopes covered with chestnuts and
beeches and pines. Standing at win
dow of one of the wards, became in
terested in a happening in the drive
below. Anything doing there?" the
officer asked. "Only a nurse pushing
an invalid chair up the SLOPE" | an
swered. "She seemed to find ii heavy
work, but an old lady is now helping
her to push, and they are coming up
nicely. The invalid's grandmother
perhaps?" The officer came to the
window "GrandmotherT he exclaimed
softly. That's not his grandmother
That's the dear lady who runs this
show--the Empress Eugene. MAN

WnI Lessen paper shortaae.

The scarcity Of white paper material
is causing the most rigid investigation
into the use Of spruce wood for pur-
poses for which some other material
might serve The United States for
est products laboratory at Madison,
Wis, has lately been experimenting In
using cottonwood as substitute for
spruce, poplar and ash for making but
fer boxes. Cottonwood, when green,
gives off an odor which, it was be-
lieved, would be absorbed by the but
ter. Tests have been made OF boxes
constructed Of thoroughly seasoned
cottonwood. Butter packed in them
was set away for week and at the
end Of that time professional butter
graders, decided that the butter con-
tanned no trace Of foreign favor. The
use Of cottonwood for food packing
will release millions of pounds of wood
for paper making each year.

London Woman Revlves Customs Of
Ancient Days When Tales Were
Told for Dramatic Interest.

Story telling as 1t was in ancient
days when history and knightly adven-
ture, touched with the supernatural,
were the inspiration Of bards and
minstrels, and when tales were told
chiefly for their dramatic interest, is
the art of Miss Marie L. Shedlock of
London.
"Stories should be told to children
and grown-ups alike for tho dramatic
interest of them, just as they were
told 1000 years ago and are still told
on the street corners" says Miss She'd
lock. THE beauty and dramatic In
terest Of the story itself should be set
forth simply, not with eloquence or
imposing theatres. Pointing obvious
morals to children is Of little avail In
teaching them. What lmpresses them
most is telling them stories Of heroes
or figures they may admire and allow
ing them to make the comparison be-
tween themselves and the characters
then will they really be taught the
best sort Of actions"

Most every customer did. One wom-
an gave, in return, an opinion-for the
benefit of the woman with her:
IF l couldn't write a better hand
than those two I'd lose my job and
deserve it. Neither of them could
earn salt directing envelopes, no ed
itor would stand for their copy, and
the civil service would turn EN- down
so quick they wouldn't know whether
they we're afoot or horseback.
Talk about character in chirog-
raphy-huh! You see anything to
suggest Valley Forge in those curly
macues? l reckon Father George is
all he's cracked up to be. but-honest,
don't see how any man with an idea
in his head could fall for penmanship
like that-and when it comes to Jeffer
sonian simpicity-what object do you
suppose Thomas had in changing his
two small, but entirely competent is
into one spraWly ''y?"
Which seems to show that for one
woman, anyhow, two great men lived
in vain.

- HE little island of Tangier, ly-
ing in Chesapeake bay oppo.
site the mouth OF the POto-
mac river. and famed for It's
fine oysters, crabs and fish, was re-
Gently made the subject of an article
In which the island, its population and
their customs were described with a
greater attention to effect than to
truth. The description was of q
quaint, old fashioned, superstitious
community, far removed from the af-
fairs Of the busy world.
But real pictures Of the island of
Tangier do not bear out all the asser-
tions made. At one time these de-
scriptions might have represented con-
ditiOns there fairly we'll, just as they
might have represented scores of
other communities in the United
States; but the Tangier of today Is
vastly different from the Tangler of
years ago.
The island is one of the most beau
t1ful bits of land that dot the bay
from Baltimore to the capes OF Vir-
ginia- It has a population of about
1900 persons, who make their living
largely by catching the famous Tan
gier oysters, crabs, fish and diamond
back terrapin, with which the sur
rounding waters abound. Seven
tenths of the soft crabs shipped from
Crisfield, Md, to all parts of the coun-
try are caught in the waters of Tan
gier.
Much of the history of tho island
is lost previous to the year 1872. But
In the War of 1872 the British troops,
on their way to Baltimore, halted
there on what were then called the
camp grounds tract long since
claimed by the inroads of the bay
During the stay of the British a To-

was invited to preach to the men.
Without fear he roundly upbraided the

Health Commissioner Rutland Of

value of systematic, periodic, physical
