For Thin
Babies
Fat is of great account
to a baby; that is why
babies are fat. If your
baby is scrawny, Scott’s
Emulsion is what he
wants. The healthy baby
m stores as fat what it does
not need immediately for
bone and muscle. Fat
babies are happy ; they do
not cry ; they are rich ;
their fat is laid up foi
time of need. They are
happy because they are
comfortable. The fat sur
rounds their little nerves
and cushions them. When
they are scrawny those
nerves are hurt at everj?
ungentle touch. They
delight in Scott’s Emul
sion. It is as sweet as
wholesome to them.

RIVERS OF OIL
Believed to Flow Beneath Nebraska
Prairies.
Sioux City Tribune: Rivers of oil
flowing beneath the surface of Nebras
ka prairies and merely waiting for
development before a Beaumont rush
shall prevail and wealth abound!
That,according to theories of enthus
iasts here who have been studying
the matter for a number of years past,
is the condtion of affairs which exists
today. The whole territory between
Pierre, S. D., and Beaumont, Tex., is,
for that matter, pronounced to belong
to one and the same oil-producing
stratum, and the dines and anti-clines
at Polot Knob, Madison county,
Neb., would indicate, it is claimed,
that not far beneath the surface oil
is to be found.
it is set lortn mat rseurasna ue.
longs to the same geological class as
Kansas, the richest oil country in the
world, and that the uplift that drain
ed its surface culminates in the Lara
mie mountains and that the dip in
Nebraska is identical, with the same
formation, as in the state to the south.
South Dakota is said to belong in the
same field, with the Black Hillls as its
oldest formation.
At Pierre, S. D., on the north gas
springs from artesian wells and the
city is lighted by it. On a direct line
south of Norfolk, all through Kansas,
Indian territory and Texas, in a terri
tory continguous to the waterway of
the Missouri, oil is found. The east'
ern uplift is the Ozark mountains and
the high table of western Iowa, ex
tending through Minnesota and into
North Dakota, dividing the Missouri
from the Mississippi. ;This territory
is said to lie in an ancient basin with
a long inclined dip from the west and
a short dip from the east, bringing the
bottom of the basin fifty or sixty miles
west of the Missouri river.
Efforts are being made to investi
gate by digging wells.
In regard to the above report Pro
fessor Barbour, the department of
geology at the state university, said
yesterday that samples of sand from
Ilock county and other locations near
Norfolk, have been sent to him for
testing which showed evidence of oil.
Artesian water from Red Willow
k county has also indicated the presence
r of oil in that part of the state. He
declared that in his opinion the slight
est indications of either coal or oil
anywhere in the state should be fol
lowed up immediately, although he
could say nothing as to the_possibility
of either being found in paying quan
tities. The geolgical conditions
described in the above dispatch are
correct in the essential details, he
said. The possibility of finding either
coal, oil or gas or artesian water in Ne
braska is strong enough, he declared,
to warrant extensive investigations
whereever condition seemed especially
promising, and believed that the state
should assist in the work.
An interurban party working with
a sounding pipe a mile west of Ashland
found e/idence of gas yesterday. The
pipe was sunk to a deptli of about
forty feet. One of the men happened
to strike a mateli to light his pipe and
the iiame bprst up from the top of the
pipe to a heighth of several feet.
After burning a short time the tlame
gradually began to die down and final
ly burned to the tube and went out.
The pipe was set in three different
places about twenty-five feet from
each other and in each place
gas which would burn was
found. In each place the flame burn
ed high fora few minutes and then
gradually died down.
The party was in charge of G. W.
Temple and besides him consisted of
A. B. Beach, C. A. Biggerstaff, and J.
D. Ilurd. The place where the gas
was accidentally found is in a valley
through which Salt creek runs. The
holes were bored about ten feet
from the edge of the water for the pur
pose of determining how deep it would
be necessary to go to strike a firm base
for bridge piling. At the point where
gas was found the pipe was driven
through a deep sand then through
layers of gumbo and sandstone. Ac
cording to a member of the party the
gas seemed to come from a stratum of
coarse sand under the sandstone. He
said it was easily distinguishable on
account of its strong odor. It has
been suggested that it was marsh gas,
but Mr. Beach thinks that the force
with which it came out on the pipe
and the heat the llame gave forth dis
credits that theory. When the party
left they lit small jets in the holes
where the pipe had been driven.

A Continual Strain
Many mm and women are constant
ly subject, d to what, t hey commonly
term "a continualy strain” because of
some financial or family trouble. It
wears and distresses them botli men
tally and physically, affecting their
nerves badly and bringing on liver and
kidney ailments, witli the attendant
evils of constipation, loss of appetite,
sleeplessness, low vitality and despon
dency. They cannot, as a rule, get rid
of this “continual strain,” but they
can remedy its healthdestroying effect s
by taking frequent doses of Green's
August Flower. It tones up the liver,
stimulates the kidneys, insures
healthy body functions, gives vim and
spirit to one’s whole being, and event
ually dispels the physial or mental
distress caused by that “continual
strain.” Trial bottle of August
Flower 25c; regular size, 75c. At all

The first necessity for the proper see
ing of a picture Is to try to see It
through the eyes of the artist who
painted It. This Is not a usual meth
od. Generally people look only through
their own eyes and like or dislike a pic
ture according as it does or does not
suit their particular fancy. These peo
ple will tell you, “Oh, I don’t know
anything about painting, but I know
what I like,” which is their way of say
ing, “If I don’t like it right off I don't
care to be bothered to like it at all.”
Such an attitude of mind cuts one
off from growth and development, fot
it is as much as to say, “I am very
well satisfied with myself and quite
indifferent to the experiences and feel
ings of other men.” Yet it is just this
feeling and experience of another man
which a picture gives us. If you con
sider a moment you will understand
why. The world itself is a vast pano
rama, and from it the painter selects
his subject—not the copy of it exactly,
since it would he impossible for him
to do this even if he tried. How could
he represent, for example, each blade
of grass, eafch leaf upon a tree? So
what he does is to represent the subject
as he sees it, as it appeals to his sym
pathy or interest, and if twelve artists
painted the same landscape the result
would be twelve different pictures, dif
fering according to the way in which
each man had been Impressed by the
scene—in fact, according to his sepa
rate point of view or separate way of
seeing it, influenced by his individual
experience and feeling.—Charles H. Cof
fin in St. Nicholas.
