THE VALUE OF TRUTH

Truthin business IS just as important as truth in everyday life; truth creates Confidence. establishes goodwill and builds a reliability that will not be wrecked by the storms of competition.
 fThrough three generations people have learned to place reliance on the advertised words of Scott's Emulsion, because they are untarnished, unex- aggerated trulsms about a household Remedy of real and actual worth.
 The popularity of Scott's Emulsion is increasing as intelligence advances, because in these days of deliberations it continues to guarantee pure cod liver oil incidentally perfected with glycerine and hypophosphites to build strength, inl- prove the blood and strengthen the lungs. Itis free from alcohol or opiates-a whole some food-tonic, truthfully advertised.

 . A cablegram was received from the American Embassy at Constantinople transmitting the reply of the Otto- man government to the inquiries that had been addressed to it as to whether it had any knowledge of the cause of the explosion that destroyed the Persia with heavy toll of lives The Turkish reply is to the effect that Turkey was not involved in any way in the sinking of the Persia. that commanders of Turkish submarine. were under instructions to fly the Ottoman flag at all times, and that reports from Turkish commanders of them had flown any other flag or attacked the Persia
 Germany and Austria have already denied responsibility for or knowl edge of the cause of the destruction of the Persia. The United States gAovernment Is now foced to rely on circum mstantia1 evidence and draw its own conclusions as to the cause of the loss of the Persia.
