When mothers are worried
because the children do not
gain strength and flesh we
say give them Scotts Emul
sion
It is like the penny in the
milk because it works and
because there is
something
astonishing about it
Scotts Emulsion is simply
a milk of pure cod liver oil
with some hypophosphites
especially prepared for delicate
stomachs
Children take to it naturally
because they like the taste
and the remedy takes just as
naturally to the children be
cause it is so perfectly adapted
to their wants
For all weak and pale and
thin children Scotts Emulsion
is the most satisfactory treat
ment
We will send you

the form ot a label is on the
wrapper of every bottle of
Emulsion you buy

juveniles a number of Rileys charming
books of poems and some for mature
readers
The Herr Doctor by McDonald is
the kind of a story that everybody loves
and few can write It is a love story
without a shadow of gloom or sugges
tion of wrong It is full of brightness
and humor and has an entirely unex
pected and satisfactory ending It tells
of two American women traveling
abroad The aunt is taken suddenly ill
and much against her will is put under
tho caroof a physician supposed to be
a simple country doctor Given the
niece a pretty American heiress and a
good looking charming mannered and
mysterious Herr Doctor the tale pro
ceeds all too quickly to tho end
Two books contributed by Bessie
Borneman formerly a resident of Mc
Cook are Tom Brown at Rugby and
The Boy Spy a story of the actual
adventures of a boy in the war of tho
rebellion Part of these adventures
wore recorded in tho press of the coun
try at the time of their occurrence

E E Hales Memories of 100 Years

novel of the Cromwell period and has to
do with winning the affections of a
young cavalier aged nine by an older
brother of the Roundhead persuasion
It is a simple story without plot or ad
venture and fairly well told The chief

brothers effort to overcome the boys

dian The little fellow is a loyal lov
able natural child whom the reader
follows carefully to the end
A New Idea In Farm Papers
Farmers are getting over the idea that
farm papers are edited by some man
sitting up in an office in the city trying
to tell them how to make farming pay
and that tho articles are written by
theorists and dreamers who know noth
ing of the needs of practical farming
That may have been the case some years
ago but with a modern farm magazine
like the Twentieth Century Farmer the
oditor is a man who is closely in touch
with all the questions that come up re
garding how to make farming pay better
The articles in this paper are all by
practical men and the farmers who are
reading what they say find that it pays
to keep posted on the progress which is
being made in their own line of work
No doctor would think of practicing
medicine without taking several
meaical journals neitner can a
farmer keep up with progress in farm
ing unless ho takes a maga
zine like the Twentieth Century Farmer
For example some of the contributors
whose articles will apper during the
nest few issues are F D Coburn sec
retary Kansas state board of agriculture
Prof C F Curtiss Iowa Agriculture
college Colonel F M Woods the noted
live stock auctioneer Charles E Bessey
the great botanist John Gosling the
noted beef expert Frederick W Taylor
director of agriculture at St Louis
Worlds fair and nianv other well known
men whose ideas are worth dollars
to every progressive farmer and stock
raiser
If you are interested send 25 cents for
three months trial subscription or 100
for a years subscription addressed to
