Does Baby
Thrive?
If your baby is delicate
and sickly and its food does
not nourish it, put fifteen
or twenty drops of Scott's
Emulsion in its bottle three
or four times a day and you
will see a marked change.
We have had abundant
proof that they will thrive
on this emulsion when other
food fails to nourish them.
It is the same with larger
children that are delicate.
Scott's Emulsion seems to be
the element lacking in their
food. Do not fail to try it if
your children do not thrive.
It is as useful for them in
summer as in winter.
Ask your doctor if this is not true.

An exchange truly says : American
bravery is not limited to any particular
section. Ensign Bagley was trom
North Carolina, Lieutenant Rowan
lives in Kansas, Admiral Dewey hails
from Vermont and Lieutenant Hob
son's home is in Alabama. It really
makes no difference where a man
lives, provided he is an American.
The Wilkesbarre Record says that
through the kindness of chaplains o<
the Pennsylvania regiments there are
being circulated through the camps a
leaflet containing a concise Spanish
vocabulary for the use of the soldiers
when they arrive in Cuba. It con
tains the Spanish words and pronuncia
tion for the necessairies of life and for
phrases that are most likely to be use
ful. The selections are made solely
with reference to the probable needs
of the soldiers, and the men may be
seen studying the leaflet in all parts
ot the camp. It also contains a cable
code for communicating with the folks
at home. This idea seems to have
originated with one Isaac A. Wright
of Kansas City who sends them free
to the commanders or chaplains of all
regiments who apply.

A Political Colloquy.
"Did you say that Robert E. Patti
son is the strongest candidate the
Democrats can nominate for Gover
nor ? " asked one Democrat of another
on the corner of Third and Market
streets this morning. "Yes, I did,"
was the reply. "But will not the fact
that he was financially ruined by the
failure of Singerly's bank injure his
political prospects?" "Not at all,"
said the other. "William McKinley
was financially ruined by loaning his
credit to his friends just as Pattison
did, and William McKinley is to-day
President of the United States and of
a part of Spain."— Harrisburg Star
