Doctors
say take Cod Liver 0/7 —they
undoubtedly mean Scott’s
Emulsion.
It would be just as sensible
for them to prescribe Quinine
in its crude form as to pre
scribe Cod Liver Oil in its
natural state. In
Scott’s
Emulsion
the oil is emulsified and made
easy to take—easy to digest
and easy to be absorbed in to
the body—and is the most
natural and useful fatty food to
feed and nourish the wasted
body that is known in medicine
today.
Nothing can be found to take
its place. If you are run-down
you should take it.

UNDER FIVE FLAGS.
It Takes That Many to Run Small but
Turbulent Crete.
To the southward, its green clad,
snow capped mountains rising from
a turquoise sea, lay Crete, the is
land of mythology and massacre. It
was a picture of sunshine and ani
mation of vivid colors and strange
peoples such as one seldom sees ex
cept in some gorgeously staged
comic opera.
But even as this was in my mind,
says a writer in the Travel Maga
zine, a gun boomed out from a
crumbling bastion, and five little
balls ran up five flagstaffs standing
in a row on the uppermost ram
parts and broke out into five flags.
The morning breeze caught up
their folds and held them straight
out, as though for our benefit, so
that we could make them out quite
plainly. Four of them were old
friends that I had encountered on
all of the seven seas —the union
jack and the tricolor and the St.
Andrew’s cross of Russia and the
red, white and green banner of It
aly—but the fifth flag, which flew
somewhat higher than the others,
was of unfamiliar design. The sin
gle blood red square, however,
bounded by the Greek cross and
bearing the gleaming star of Beth
lehem, told its own story, and I
knew it for the flag of Crete.
I knew that there was deep sig
nificance in the design of that un
known flag and in the position of
the four familiar ones that flew be
low it, for they signaled to all the
world that the Turk had been driv
en out, never to return; that Chris
tianity had triumphed over Mo
hammedanism and that the cross
had indeed replaced the crescent;
that the centuries of massacre
wero now but memories; that peace
in the guise of foreign soldiery had,
for a time at least, found an abid
ing place in Crete, and, most sig
nificant of all, that the strange flag
with the single star would be up
held if necessary by the mightiest
array of bayonets and battleships
in all Christendom.
Canea, which is the seat of gov
ernment, is the most picturesquely
cosmopolitan spot west of Suez. It
is equidistant from the shores of
Europe, Asia and Africa, it has a
mild and equable climate, living is
cheap, there is a large garrison of
foreign soldiery, there are no ex
tradition treaties in force, and
trouble of one kind and another is
always browing.
Like a magnet, therefore, Canea
has attracted the scum and off
scouring of all the Levant—needy
soldiers of fortune, professional
revolution makers, smooth spoken
gamblers and confidence men,
Egyptian donkey boys, out at el
bows ; dragomans who speak a score
of tongues and hail from no one
knows where—all that rabble of
the needy, the adventurous and the
desperate who follow the armies
of occupation and are always to be
found on the fringe of civilization.

An Introduction.
Harry was walking with another

“Introduce me, Harry,” the new
comer whispered pompously.
Harry twisted, reddened and at
last turned to his companion with,
“Jim, have you ever seen Gilbert

“No,” the other boy answered.
“Well,” Harry blurted out, red

thumb over his shoulder toward the
newcomer, “that’s him!”—Lippin-

Breochlc-dlng Cannon.
The breech’Aiding cannon were
among the ea.-t used. We find
them on English and other ships as
early as the last quarter of the four

before the time of the buccaneers.
The cannon was a mere tube, bound
with heavy iron rings, and was load
ed by the insertion of the “gonne
chamber.” an iron pan containing
the charge, which fitted into and
closed the breech. These guns were
very ilumsv affairs in comparison

IN MEMORY
Os Mrs. R. A. Coulter, who de
parted this life November 18th,
1908, in Tyler, Texas, after a long
siege o fill health.
Our sister was called to rest
asleep in Jesus, yes, we speak by
having known her for 18 years,
and often met her while under
the burden of great care trials
and bereavement, the loss of love
ones, and disappointments and
sore afflictions in life, she would
cheer up bravely under her loss
and say, “Well, if it wasn't for
the wondreful power, the mercy
and will of my Savior I couldn’t
bear it, but I have such strong
confidence in my Master that He
doeth all things well.” she
said she was glad she could trust
Him. What a pearl, dear par
ents, to find, is it not, a good
inspiration to others as well as
the good of her own soul?. She
visited the siek and spoke words
of comfort to them. She did this
while she was hardly able to go
herself, and not expecting things
in return. She was obedient to
her Master’s command and her
eyes would brighten at the sound
of Jesus name and when a con
versation came up on eternal life
she soon become interested her
self.
Let us prepare to meet her at
the Savior’s right hand. We hav
frequently heard her friends say,’
'' I did love her so much. ’
She has gone and we will nev
er see her bright, cheerful coun
tenance nor hear that once famil
iar sweet voice loved to meet so
well. Let us pray for the salva
tion of her children and take up
the, work where she laid it down
in the vineyard and press to help
praise the great redeemer in end
less day.

have finished my course, I have

Sound Philosophy.
Os all methods of making anoth
er person angry and disagreeable
the worst is to tell him that he will
“li*ve to” do something. How often
do we hear, “You will have to go
to the other window,” “'You will
have to go into the other car,”
“You will have-to wait an hour,"
“You will have to write the general
passenger agent or superintend
ent,” and the like! Primarily we
are all free agents and dont "have
to” do a darned thing. We may
find it exp bent or necessary to a
certain end, but we don t even
"have to” eat if we don't want to.
How easv to put the direction in
another manner, such as, “The oth
er window, please,” or “Will you
kindly take the car aheador “The
rules require." A short, ven’ short,
explanation of whv a certain thing
is necessary will always work won
ders in avoiding trouble. —Railroad

The Nutmeg Tree.
The nutmeg is the kerne 1 , of the
fruit of several species of trees
growing wild in Asia, Africa and
America. The cultivated nutmeg
tree is from fifty to seventy-five
feet high and produces fruit for
sixty years. The fruit is of the
size and appearance of a roundish
pear, yellow in color. The fleshy
part of the fruit is rather hard and
resembles candied citron. Within
is the nut, enveloped in the curious
yellowish red aril known to us as
mace. Up to 1796 the Dutch, being
in possession of the islands produc
ing the only valuable variety of the
nutmeg, jealously tried to prevent
the carrying of the tree or a living
seed of it into any territory inde
pendent of Dutch rule.
His Latin Helped.
There was a famous British offi
cer, Lieutenant General Sir George
Murray, who served in -the expedi
tion to Egypt. When before Alex
andria, the troops having suffered
severely from want of water, his
literary acquirements were of ths
greatest service, instructing him
that Caesar’s army had been in the
same predicament. Referring to his
“Caesar” (which he always carried
in his portable library), he found
his recollection right —that water
had been obtained by the Romans
from wells dug at a certain spot in
the sands. A trial was immediate
ly made, and the result was a co
pious supply. The British troops
braced up and conquered Egypt.—

She Felt For Him.
He had sat looking absentmind
edly out of the train window for
two hours, whistling the same tune
and not on the key. The passen
gers had become well nigh distract
ed.
A well known actress sat behind
the young man. Finally there came
a moment when the whistler paused
for breath, and in that moment the
quick w.itted actress leaned over
and said:
“I know just how it is. I never
could whistle either.” Ladies’

“Mr. Kipling,” yelled a sailor,
“your boy is on a yardarm, and if
he lets go he’ll drown!”
“Ah,” responded Mr. Kipling,
with a yawn, “bat he won’t let go!”
