BONE FOOD
Soft and crooked bones mean
bad feeding. Call the disease
rickets if you want to. The
growing child must eat the
right food for growth. Bones
must have bone food, blood
must have blood food and so
on through the list.
Scott’s Emulsion is the right
treatment for soft bones in
ch ildre n. L i 111 e and oses e very day
give the stiffness and shape
that healthy bones should have.
Bow legs become straighter,
loose joints grow stronger and
firmness comes to the soft
heads.
Wrong food caused the
trouble. Right food will cure it.
In thousands of cases Scott’s
Emulsion has proven to be the
right food for soft bones in
childhood.

A DRAFT OF LIQUID AIR.
Recently a New York chemist
while making a social call at a house
on Long Island produced from his
poekej. a bottle of liquefied air and
gave a little impromptu lecture
about it. Pouring a small quantity
in h wineglass, he continued his re
marks. “But you must not; drink
it,” he said. Instantly, in a spirit
of mischief, the venturesome daugh
ter of the family put the glass to
her lips and swallowed part of the
contents.
But the young woman showed
symptoms of immediate repentance.
A startled look came into her face,
her fingers instinctively clutched
her belt and from her mouth there
issued a volume of steam. As for
the chemist, lie tried hi; best to
keep from laughing. The young
woman thought it was a pretty poor
joke; hut, being the perpetrator of
it, she could not very well complain.
Had she drunk a larger quantity
the situation would assuredly have
been wholly lacking in humor.
When Lange Stole Home.
Connie Mack has an endless fund
of baseball stories. One of these he
tells about Bill Lange, the old Chi
cago player, asserting that Bill's
play in a certain Pittsburg game was
the most daring hit of work he ever
paw pulled off.
Bill had reached first. The pitch
er threw to that sack as Bill had
taken a big lead. The ball rolled
away from the first base man only a
few feet. Few players would have
dart'd to take their feet off the sack,
but Bill cut for second. The ball
went a bit wild there, rolling to
ward short.
Never stopping at second, Bill
tore for third and then turned for
the plate. The ball was fielded to
Denny Lyons ut third, but be was
po surprised upon receiving it and
finding no man to touch at the sack
he failed to throw to the plate to
get Lange. The game was won by
that one run.—Detroit News-Trib

Poe’s First Appearance.
The old dispute as to where Ed

he settled by bis latest biographer.
Professor Harrison states with em
phasis that he was born in Boston

were strolling actors, though his fa
ther was of excellent family, were
playing in Boston when little Edgar
was horn. As Professor Harrison
facetiously puts it:
“At length a stop-—in Boston—
came to the wanderings, dan. 19,
1809, Mrs. Poe did not appear —but
Edgar did.”—Boston Herald.

Habit Worse Than

Dr. Miles’ Nervine Cured
Me.
NVhcn the nervous sv.-tem has been shat
tere.t by the use of deadly drugs there is
nothing to equ;.l Dr. Miles’ Nervine inrestcr
lnj; it to health and normal activity.
“1 feel so crateful for what Dr. Miles’ Re
storative Nervine has done for me that I
must tell it for that part of humanity that
suffers as I have. During the three 'ears
1 suffered from nervous prostration I h>und
no relief except when doctors gave morphine.
To get rid of suffering 1 took morphine my
self as it was the only thing that would give
ease, and now iou, who point with scorn at
morphine urine, how could vou, when in
such agony, knowing it about the orlv thing
that would give r. lief, resist it? 1 knew it
was a terrible habit and l knew of its deadly
grasp, but I never fully reanred its sifitiiii
cance until I had used it a number of months
Oh, tile misery cf being addicted to such a
habit. 1 resolved then and there to quit it
and resolved I would never he a slave to anv
such demon. About this time I happened to
notice Dr. Miles' Restorative Nerv ine adver
tised and ordered a bottle. After using five
bottles I can truthfully say I am cured of
using morphine. N w, however much per
sons may doubt it, God is my witness 1 am
cured. This testimonial is unsolicited but I
feel it my duty to give it for the benefit of the
suffering."— Mattie Phillips, Prescott, Ark.

CONDENSED STORIES.
Kelly Surprised to Learn That Eng-
land Might Whip Vz “Agoirv,”
W. W. (“Hustler”) Kelly was, if
not the first, the most strenuous of
American theatrical men to invade
London in the eighties, when his
brazen, pagan methods of “boom
ing” his entertainment created
something of a sensation. He was
the quintessence of Yankee gall, but
really made, himself liked by his
breezy manners and hearty ways.
One evening when he was away for
a brief period half a dozen friends
were lounging in his office. There
were five Englishmen to a solitary
American, and the quintet speedily
convinced the Yankee that the en
tente cordiale was a matter of indi
vidual taste. They simply wiped
up the office with him and rendered
him helpless by their boastful
threats of the things England would
do to the United States should there
come another war between the two
countries. And they had figures—
stacks of ’em—to prove their argu
ment. Finally Kelly, blowing hard
on a big and black cigar, arrived.
The victim greeted him joyously.
“Say, Kelly, these fellows have
had me on the rack the last hour
telling me that unless the United
States lays very low England will
simply wipe us off the earth!”
Kelly’s cigar rolled to one side
of his mouth, his eyebrow's lifted
and in a tone of profound surprise
he asked:
“What! Again ?”
Sam Got the Tip.
Secretary Shaw tells this on him
self:
“Sam, the darky who brushes my
clothes in a barber shop down in
Washington, is particularly clever
.——
“LET ME BBUSH YOUB COAT AGAIN.”
in delicately reminding customers
that he expects a tip. One morning
after 1 had been shaved I was think
ing of other things and was walking
away without dropping a coin into
his hands.
“ ‘Let me brush your coat again,
Mr. Secretary,’ said Sam, running
after me.
“ ‘Why do you want to brush it
again ?’ 1 asked.
“ ‘ ’Cause, Mr. Secretary,’ said
Sam, without cracking a smile—
‘’cause I might brush out some
gold dust, sir.’
“Sam got his tip.”—New York
Herald.
Didn’t She Lay Doorknobs?
Dr. Henry Van Dyke tells a story
of an old Irishman who was engaged
in the business of chicken raising
near Princeton. One day a trav
eling man expressed surprise at the
use of so much eornmeal at feeding
time and suggested that the meal
be mixed with sawdust, insisting
that the hens would not know the
difference. A few months later the
traveling man was again in the
community, and he asked if the new
diet had been tried and what the re
sult had been. “It works beautiful
ly,” was the reply. “See that old
yellow hen? Well, 1 tried her on
half and half, and she liked it so
well 1 changed to all sawdust, and
the last time she hatched three of
the chicks had wooden legs and a
fourth was a woodpecker.”
Got Into the Front Row.
That was a novel expedient by
which one young woman was en
abled to see King Edward during
the coronation crush in London.
Her story shows the value of di
plomacy. “I was right behind,
ma'am,” she said, relating her expe
rience to her mistress. “ ‘Oh,’ I
said, ‘I shan’t see anything in this
crowd.’ And then a young man
that I hadn’t noticed said, ‘Why
don’t you faint?’ ‘Faint!’ I said.
‘Who's going to faint?* And then
he up and calls, ‘Here’s a young
woman fainting!’ And a p’lieeman
come through, and they carried me
right to the front. I see splendid.
Yes’in, the young man helped the
p’lieeman.*
