PIT LIFE” —That’s what a prominent Jruggist said of Scott’s Emulsion a short time ago. As a rule we don't use or refer to test imonials in addressing the public, but the above remark and j similar expressions are made so often in connec tion with Scott’s Emulsion that they are worthy of occasional note. From infancy to old age Scott’s Emulsion offers a reliable means of remedying im proper and weak develop ment, restoring lost flesh and vitality, and repairing waste. 'Pbe action of Scott’s Emulsion is no more of a secret than the composition of the Emul sion itself. What it does it does through nourish ment—the kind of nourish ment that cannot be ob tained in ordinary food. No system is too weak or delicate to retain Scott’s Emulsion and gather good from it. We will send you a sample free. Be sure that this picture in the form of a label ie on the wrapper of crery bottle of Emulsion you buy. SCOTT & BOWNE Chemists 409 Pearl St., N.

Tlie members of the O’Neill high school will entertain this chorus while in O’Neill. Many rural schools are putting in small libraries this year. A number of the teachers have given box suppers or socials together with a short pro gram by the pupils for the purpose of raising money with which to buy the books. Other teachers are planning work of the same nature for the near future. Later we expect to print the num ber of districts which have done work along this line. There is no line of work which will be more appreciated than that of giv ing boys and girls an opportunity for self culture. We know not now many minds may have been set aflame, and have become really great by the read ing of some worthy book. Tiie following extract by Robert Burns has caused many a hard work ing boy to become a leader of men: Through losses and crosses Be lessons right severe, There’s wit there, you’ll get there, You’ll find no other where. Never mind the crowd, lad, Or fancy life won’t tell; The work’s a work for a’ that To him that doeth it well; Fancy the world a hill, lad, Look where the millions stop; You’ll find the crowd at the base, lad, There’s plenty of room at the top. Florence E. Zink, Go. Supt. The Minstrels. Harry Ward, the well-known Minst rel favorite, will bring to the opera house on December 4, the greatest white minstrel company ever seen in America. It goes without saying that the house will be packed on that night. This company, as usual, is composed of the pick and cream of the minstrel profession, and each artist is a star in himself. A dream of beauty in the way of an electrical first part setting is a feature with the attraction, and a sextette of male voices, led by a phenomenal 8-year old boy soprano, Master Carl, is reported to be the greatest musical treat in minstrelsy. Of course the band is fine and the orchestra lirst-class. Get your seats early. See the parade. Advertised Letters.
