And rumor has it that it is no longer a heifer. The protective tariff was enacted, and iscontinued, to shelter inotmixily, is the constant yelp of the free-trader iconoclasts.

The latter country also joins in the request that he personally undertake the ar bitration. .Conceiving it to be his duty to accjpt the invitation to arb! trnte, there will be no shirking of re sponsibility. W'liile many of the President's friends are opposed to his acting in this capacity, fearing some complications, yet the people of the United States will not worry about possible danger, for they know that his sturdy Integrity, common sense and manly straightforwardness will guide him clear of all dangers.

As Prosecuting Attorney this is, of course, the kind of man Mr. Jerome is after. inswiioD Salt pork is a famous old fashioned remedy for con sumption, "fcat plenty ot pork," was the advice to the consumptive co and ioo years ago. Salt pork is good if a man can stomach it. The idea behind it is that fat is the food the consumptive heeds most. Scott's Emulsion is the mod ern method of feeding fat to the consumptive. Pork is too rough for sensitive stomachs. Scott's Emulsion is the most refined of fats, especially prepared for easy digestion. Feeding him fat in this way, which is often the only way, is half the battle, but Scott's Emulsion does more than that. There is some thing about the combination of co J liver oil and hypophos phites in Scott's Emulsion that puts new life into the weak parts and has a special action on the diseased lungs. O- ...
