BRIGHTER CHILDREN

Children are probably brighterto-day
than a generation ago--but are they
stronger? That's grave question.
So many pinched faces, dulled eyes
and languid feelings make us wonder
if they will ever grow into robust,
healthy men and women.
If your children catch colds easily,
are tired when rising, lack healthy
color, or find studies difficult, give
them SCOTS Emulsion for one month
to enrich their blood and restore the
body-forces to healthy action.
SCOTS Emulsion is used in private
schools. 1t is not "patent medicine
simply highly concentrated oil-food, 4,
without alcohol or harmful drugs. 1t
cannot harm; it improves blood; 1t bene-
fits lungs and strengthens the system.
Your druggist has it-refuse substitutes.

GROW UP WITH THE COUNTRY
Would Greeley Say go West. Young
Man." To-day?

MANY young people have remem-
bered the first half OF Greeley's ia
nous dictum. Go west. young man, ="
says writer in the April Woman's
Home Companion, "and have forgot
ten the second half, and grow up
with the country. They forget that
Greeley gave that advice more than
fifty years ago; they know in n vague
sort Of way that the west has had Il
marvellous development in the past
half century, but they still think of 1t
as being peculiarly land of promise
a land where new enterprises spring
up so quickly that there Is always a
shortage of men. and everybody is
more good -natured than anybody in
the east because everybody is more
prosperous.
'The west in spite Of all its attrac-
tons. no longer answers this rosy de-
scription. Our railroads have really
abolished the economic differences
that once SO distinguished the west
from the east. Certain cities in the
west are still growing very rapidly.
but so are cities in the east ! have

west than ] saw in the east.
I'm other words, for the average
young man without capital. there are
Just as many opportunities in New
York or Boston or Pittsburgh. as
there are in Kansas City or Seattle or
Los Angeles. Certain cities, in each
section. at certain periods offer spe-
cial advantages. You can no longer
measure the value OF an oportunity
by its location on the map.

in their power to win for Lafayette
in Tulsa and Oklahoma counties, the
rank and file of the Democrats have
apparently gone against them. This
condition of affairs is no doubt especi-
ally disagreeable to Il. b. Howard,
who claims Tulsa county as his home.
Tate Brady. who was an original
Lafayette man, has gone over to the
Wade ranks, along with practically
every other prominent Lafayette sup
porter in the county.
Al Wade headquarters in Tulsa last
night 1t was announced that Rogers
and Usage county had climbed on to
the band wagon and would instruct
for Wade at their county convention
tomorrow.

WORKERS here, expressed the belief last
night that Wade would be SO strong
by the time the state convention con-
Ncnes at Oilla6orn9 city, April II. that
Lafayette will not even permit his
name To go before the convention.
