The South Norfolk, Conn., Eve
ning Sentinel of November 24, con
tains an account of a brilliant home
wedding, in which the contracting
parties were Miss Anna Brockway
and Mr. Clinton F. Baker. The
ceremony took place at the resi
dence of the bride's brother-in-law,
Prof. Ira S. Brown. The bride is
a sister of Mrs. Kashner, of Cathar

good wishes of a host of friends
here.

I
dren can't help but grow;
they must grow if their food
nourishes them. Perhaps a
mistake was made in the
past and as a result the di
gestion is weakened. If that
is so, don't give the baby
a lot of medicine; just use
your every-day common
sense and help nature a
little, and the way to do
it is to add half a teaspoon-

SCOTT'S
EMULSION
to the baby's food three or
four times a day. The gain
will begin the very first day
you give it. It seems to
correct the digestion and
gets the baby started right
again. If the baby is nurs

the mother should take the
emulsion. It will have a
good effect both upon the
mother and child. Twenty
five years proves this fact.
