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

China's Need Publicity.

If the Chinese people are awake to
their opportunity. they will take q leaf
from the book of Japan and establish q
publicity organization at home, and,
better and more useful than that, they
win send to the United States a few
men who can. by lecturing, speaking,
Wi ing and otherwise getting before
the public. establish a Chinese propa-
ganda. All the United States needs is
to be informed about China, and who
should inform them If not the Chinese?
The cost would be negligible, and the
results incalchlable. China needs the
right sort of publicity, and needs II
more than any other nation In the
world. If China does not take steps
to put herself and hold herself before
the world in this regard China need
have no hope for the future, China
is done, for no country will voluntarily
take up the cause of China-no people.
They must be made to think about
China-made to! Otherwise they VIII
never think, nor care.-The Far Eas%

wood pigeons and sparrows have been
specially mentioned.
All three are plague In the country
today. and to make a systematic raid
on them for food purposes would serve
two useful ends. Rabbits are eaten
chiefly between harvest time and the
end OF March, but they drift to the
kitchen at all seasons. By systematic
sharing or trapping great numbers
could be available as regular supply
for the people of district or for dis
patch to the towns.

abound In all wooded districts in au-
tumn, winter and early spring. but
they are exceedingly difficult birds to
bring down In any number owing to
their extreme cunning. 1t is only by
we'll concerted shoots extending over
a wide area that a supply of pigeons
can be obtained. Through lack of men
able to take part In such shoots no ap-
probable difference has been made In

as a rule in a pie with a few pieces
