Do cough bang on, or are you subject to throat troubles f Such troubles should have immediate treatment with the strengthening powers of Scott's Emulsion to guard against consumption which so easily follows. , Scott's Emulsion contains purecod liver oil which peculiarly strengthens the res piratory tract and improves the quality of the blood; the glycerine in it soothes and heals the tender membranes of the throat. Scott's is prescribed by the best special ists. You can get it at any drug store. . Bcott ftBowue.Bloomfleld, W.J. '. WE HELP Who wants to make a lot of money? Why everybody, of course.

Funk, of Sylvan, re ported two weeks ago, profits of over twenty-six dollars per head from his flock of ten ewes. H. L Wishart, of Wells Valley, did not itemize his returns, but he told a News reporter that Mr. Funk's flock beat his "just a few cents per head." Mr. Wishart has fifteen ewes. Despite the dog nuisance, many now regret the disposal of their sheep a few years ago. x Will Be Sorry. Owing to high price of feed, and the tempting price offered for their hens, many farmers re cently sold their chickens. Next year they will be sorry. Knowl edge of how to obtain winter eggs is being rapidly gained and those who sold their hens will have to lose a year's time rais ing another flock if they wish to have eggs to sell at the high prices that will rule during the war.
