foreigners for sculpture shown at the

He is Now Well and
Strong.

"our little boys health was 80 poor we
were afraid we were going to lose him.
He is ten years old, and has had weak
lungs ever since he was eight months
old, caused by pneumonia. We have been
very careful with him and doctored him
continually, but we had almost despaired
of ever having a strong, well boy.

For restoring appetite, health and
strength in sickly children, mothers will
find Milks Emulsion the thing they have
always sought. Most children like to
take 1t, because unlike many emulslons
and tonlcs. 1t really tastes good.
Milks Emulsion is a pleasant, nutrt-
tive food and a corrective medicine It
retores healthy, natural bowel action, do
ing away with all need of pills and phys
les. 1t promotes appetite and quickly
puts the digestive organs in shape to
assimlate food. AS a builder of flesh
and strength Milks Emulsion is strongly
recommended to those whom sickness has
weakened, and is a powerful aid in resist
ing and repairing the effects OF wasting
diseases. Chronic stomach trouble and
constipation are promptly relieved-usu-
ally in one day.
This is the only solid emulsion made,
and so palatable that 1t is eaten with a
spoon like ice cream.
No matter how severe your case, you
are urged to try Mllks Emulsion under

with you, use 1t according II directions,
and If not satisfied with the results your
money will be promptly refunded. Price

DIsraelis unpublished novel will be
read with eager interest by all who
care to learn his view of his great
rival, Gladstone, who is therein pOr-
trayed as Joseph Toplady Falconet.
In denying him any sense Of humor
the novelist does not exceed the priv
ileges of poetic license, for certainly
his model was always in grim, serious
earnest. In declaring, however, that
he was never seen to smile Disraeli
somewhat maliciously exaggerates. for
Gladstone's smile was not infrequent,
and was among his many personal
charms. But 1t must be remembered
that the novel was written when the
two statesmen had long been settled
and unrelentlng foes, and Dizzy was
a good hater.-London Chronicle.

Paris as a Watering Place.

The Paris municipal council, at Its
closing meeting Of 1910, voted a res
olution in favor Of the capital being
officially "classed" as a watering
place. The object of the motion is
to enable the city to collect a small
poll tax on visitors in order to swell
the municipal revenues, as is already
done In other watering places. While
agreeing that such a tax probably
would bring in good round sum,
the Figaro criticizes the proposal as
hardly in keeping with the city's ira
ditions.
