—That’s what a prominent
druggist said of Scott’s
Emulsion a short time
ago. As a rule we don’t
ise or refer to testimonials
:n addressing the public;
im t the above remark and
similar expressions are
mode so often in connec
tion with Scott's Emulsion
that they are worthy of
occasional note. From
infancy to old age Scott's
Emulsion offers a. reliable
means of- rdtnedying im
proper and weak develop
ment; restoring lost flesh
and vitality, and repairing
waste. The action of
Scott’s Emulsion is no
more of a secret than the
composition of the Emul
sion itself. What it does
it does through nourish
ment—the kind of nourish
ment that cannot be ob
tained in ordinary food;
No system-ls too weak or
delicate to retain Scott's
. Emulsion and gather good
from it,

RUINED BY FAVOR TO FRIENDS
The disadvantage of personal surety
U emphasised by. the atory of the into-
fortune which it brought to a success
ful merchant tn a Western State who
was elected oouuty treasure-.
As oounty treasurer he was required
to file a hood of *150,000, whioh be
oould have obtained upon the payment
of a premium of $535. Instead of pay
ing the premium and thus maintaining
hia independence,, he chore t<f place
hlmeelf under lifelong obligations to 36
of hia Mends by asking them to sign hLt
bond. * .
The merchant wan an hottest man,
and there was no default'under his bond.
Twentv-three of his 38 sureties were at
various times, however, required to tar
nish bonds, and the merchant was in
honor 1 ound to beopme surety for each
of them. He was only reciprocating
the favor they had extended him.
Five of the 33 men for whom he be-
oame surety defaulted, and when he had
made good, the loan* he found that
399,033.34 of hia fortune at 3*5,000 was
gam. Tide Is what it oast him to save
the premium of |5*4 asked by the .urety
company to furnish hia bond, Agents
should make this a sailing argument in
soliciting applications for official bonds.

U8E OF FRENCH WORDS.
A Practice That Daaa Mat Hafp the

Why do people persist In using
French word* when there are good old
English words .to serve tbe purpose?
It to a habit that to growing dally. For
Instance, at dinner people give you
“menu” Instead of “bill of faret”
though lb* item* are sack English
Jtokes as boiled cod, rout beef and ap
ple tart One to accommodated with a
serviette Instead, of a napkin, an Eng
lish word, but originally of French or
igin, as to tbe Scotch word napery,
need for household linen. When you
enter a shop you are served- with cor
sets Instead of stays, costomos by a
coetuiulcre Instead of dresses by a
Cmmetcr. “riorhcs” Jake'the place
of eh!: is or waists, and hose are of
fered for stockings. The former word
is, however. English. At the theater
wo have programmes Instead of play
bills nnd matiueve-ln place of ufteruoou
performunics. Toques are adjusted
with ns much onse an hots, nnd wo eut
In n restaurant ns cheerfully aa In n
