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
unmistakable earnestness: They need
Scott's Emulsion, and need it now. 1t
possesses in concentrated form the very
food elements to enrich their blood. It
changes weakness to strength; 1t makes
them sturdy and strong. No alcohol.

STOPPING TO sPEc1oUs ARGUMENT

Statements issuing from the Republican National Publicity Bureau
and being peddled about the country by no less a parsonage than Leslie
M. Shaw, secretary OF the treasury during Roosevelts administration,
OO0NO worth OF commodities and that a as peace is declared they
will be dumped on the United States, inferenial1y at any old rate they
will bring. Because OF this another high protective tariff is necessary
and that can only be brought about by the return OF the Republican party
to power.
1t seem almost incredible that lei who possess the intelligence and
supposed probty of Mr.. Shaw and those others who make up the Re
publican publicity bureau al so lower and stulufy themselves as to pre-
tend for a moment that there is any truth whatever II their assertions
and that they believe them, when nine u Of every ten men in the coun-
try know to the contrary. That they do such things can only be atribut
ed to the unfortunate circumstance that they bury their decency and per-
NIT their parizanship to blunt and impair their consciences.

ties they are of a character that is wanted in the United States, such a

there is a constant demand and which are sought to aid and Increase Il
own manufactures They cannot be articles of food or wear. for the
son that right now the German government is restricting its W people

that factories capable OF turning out $2OOOOOOO worth OF commodities
in less than two years would be permitted to run except for the purpose
OF making munitions Of war.
