13 THE MORNING OREGONIAN, MONDAY, OCTOBER, 8, 1906. W. L DOUGLAS H PDRTLANDVIS1T0R Ex-Governor of Bay State and Multi-Millionaire Manufac turer Discusses Tariff. IS EXPONENT OF REVISION Says Xbat People of United States Would Save $30,000,000 Annu ally on Shoes if Duty Were Taken Off Leather. W. . Douglas, of Brockton, Mass.. shoe ' manufacturer and ex -Governor of Massa chusetts, in company with his wife, is a guest at the Hotel Portland. Mr. Doug las looks just like his picture, which is the trademark of his advertisements seen every day in thousands of newspapers and magazines and upon the bill boards. Mr. ; and Mrs. Douglas are making a pleasure tour of the West and will remain several days here, as they are delighted with Portland. How are you, Mr. Douglas?" was the .greeting received by Mr, Douglas from. Nathaniel K. Clarke, clerk, when he , walked Into the Hotel Portland. Mr. ' Dougla3 was not surprised in the least and acknowledged the courtesy in a matter-of-fact way. Mr. Clarke never saw -the wealthy shoe manufacturer before, . but he recognized him immediately from 'the picture. It Is said that wherever Mr. Douglas goes In this country he Is immediately recognized. At practically every hotel he enters, he Is known on sight, so it is said that In the United States that he cannot be a stranger among men. The picture of Mr. Douglas, which adorns each and every one of his advertisements, was taken about 15 years ago. Mr. Douglas has changed but little since then. "When the photograph was made 'his hair was dark, but now It is white. But his bald spot, which runs along the entire top of his head, and the general contour and features of his face are the came. Politics Xot His Business. "W. It. Douglas is truly a captain of in dustry. Besides he is a politician, an ear nest patriot and a humanitarian. He is jiot the type of politician who makes it a business, and what experience he has had in politics resulted from an unselfish desire to serve the people and the coun try at large. The fact that he is a Democrat and Massachusetts is overwhelmingly Re publican, and that there is a natural prejudice among the classes against most men who have accumulated vast wealth, did not prevent him from being elected Governor of his home state in 3 904. There is a normal Republican majority of about 60,000 in Massachu setts, yet he was elected by a plural ity of 35,000 votes, and was the only Democrat that year to be successful on a state ticket. If he had been a man of moderate circumstances his victory would have been less remarkable. His term of office expired last year, but he did not care to run again. One of the reasons why Mr. Dougla carried his state is that he is consid ered by the workingmen a9 a tried and true friend. He la the most dem ocratic of men. His employes are said to cherish a deep affection for him, and to them he seems more like a friend than an employer. When at home at Brockton, where are located his fac tories, he visits the men at their work and they go to him when In trouble. It is said that around the factories at the noon hour it is no uncommon sight to see Mr- Douglas sitting- about, smoking and talking -with his men in his free and easy way, as though he was one of them. It is said he knows personally the vast majority of his .4000 employes who work in his Im mense shoe factories. When he was but 8 years of age he left home and began to earn a liveli hood by driving nails In shoes. He drifted away from the shoe business but once, when, as a young man, he went to Colorado, but he returned to the East, and at Brockton, in 1876, he opened up a small shoe shop, of which he was the proprietor, employer and employe. Now he Is a multi-millionaire, employs 4000 persons at his fac tories, which turn out more than 15.000 pairs of shoes daily, and besides has T8 retail stores scattered throughout the United States. Tarif Benefits Only Trusts. "While one of the largest manufac turers in the country, Mr. Douglas is a strong advocate of tariff revision. He declares that the tariff does not pro tect the manufacturing industry as a whole, and that a few of the gigantic trusts are the only ones that profit from it. He is president of the Busi ness Men's Tariff Reform League, which is a National organization, and which Is fighting for the principle im plied In its name. "Although there are 300 or more trusts in the United States today, there i9 no hoe trust," laughed Mr. Douglas last night when seen at the Hotel Portland. "But the shoe manufacturers are almost as one in favoring tariff revision. We lon't need to be protected, as we can ' undersell the shoe manufacturers of for eign countries despite their pauper labor. "Take the shoe industry, for instance, in relation to tariff reform. The shoe manufacturers of the United States now sell about $9,000,000 of their- product to foreign countries. If it were not' for the tariff our exports could be increased to 1 5100.000,000 with but little difficulty. The !rea.aon is that now there Is a 15 per cent iduty on hides and a 20 per cent duty on isole leather. This fosters the leather -trust and keeps up the price of leather, j which we must have. This consequently ' keeps up. the price of shoes. "The trust sells leather 10 per cent ( cheaper to foreign countries than it does ; to us. Therefore we are practically shut . out of the foreign markets. The duty on ! choes would not affect us If it were re i moved. The manufacturers of this coun- try can manufacture better shoes for less ' cost than can be done in Europe. We '; .don't need to be protected. If there were no tariff on hides and sole leather the 1 reople of the United States would save i JJO, 000,000 annually on shoes." I GAME WON BY SCHILERS Defeat Trunkmakers by a Score of 6 to 1. The reorganized Schiller team, under the management of Eddie Davey, who Eucceeded Gardner in the control of the ropemakers. yesterday demon strated that It had a slight inkling of the knowledge of the ball-playing art by trimming the trunkmakers' nine by a score of 6 to 1. The game "was devoid of any espe cial features in the playing line, ex cept for the clever work of Joe Fay and Joe Stutt. and the fact that the Schiller aggregation produced an old Portland favorite of the fans. This worthy was none other than "Whis pering" Phil Nadeau, who is 'still as fat and chubby as ever, and who has been playing splendid ball in the Southern League during the past two seasons. Phil was given hearty ap plause whenever he appeared to advan tage either at bat or In the field. Another notable entry among the Schiller starters was Carl Druhot. the clever young Portland twirler, who demonstrated his playing ability by making good with the St. Louis Na tional League team. Collie, as he is more familiarly known locally, was stationed in the left garden for the Schiller bunch, and distinguished him self by dropping a fly that Joe Fay should have been allowed to take. The youngster was applauded just the same, in spite of his error, and was easily the most popular player pres ent during the matinee. "Big Leaguer" Alec Oliver had the fans going for a short period with his phenomenal pantomine of how a ball should not be caught. This stunt is peculiar to Oliver alone, and should any other member of the profession attempt to emulate the new method of not catching the ball his job would not be worth 30 cents. As it was, Oliver cut out the new system of playing in time to retrieve the honors for the Schillers and his name is still decorating the prospective line-up of that team for another season. Manager Davey, whose baseball knowledge dates baok to the days when Tom Parrott was a kid in swad dling clothes, and who was something of a diamond star at that period, was slated to play second base for the rope consumers, but owing to an attack of cold feet he refused to don a uniform, and one Bobby Burns, 6o called on ac count of his resemblance to Napoleon Bonaparte, or some other Irish hero, was called upon in the aftermath of the game to display his elegant shape in the uniform designed for Davey and cavort around to the third sack. Burns is an old-time ball player and dis played more than extraordinary tal ent in showing the fans how easy It is to muff a fly at short range. He managed to get away with his play ing ability to the satisfaction of the management, however, and was sub jected to no inconvenience in the way of receiving stale egg donations from his many friends in the grandstand. In spite of the numerous errors rec orded back of Dr. Johnson, the Schil ler team had not the slightest trouble in winning, for as soon as the trunk makers would become dangerous they would steady down and there was nothing doing in the scoring line. The game ended with the score 6 to 1 in favor of the "roperinos." "Doc" Anderson displayed his usual quitting tactics and failed to show up as the official umpire of the occa sion, and Ed Rankin performed the service in his stead. The vast assem blage was greatly Clssappointed at not getting the benefit of the untm peachable knowledge of. umpiring pos sessed by the physician. DOTY, PERE, IS SURPRISED Father Did Not Think His Son would Jilt Lady. Dr. Herbert E. Doty, who was arrested at Kansas City. Kan., presumably on charges preferred against him by the mother of a St. Louis girl whom he jilted, was raised in Portland. He Is 38 years of age and the son of D. P. Doty, section foreman of the Portland Railway Com pany, of 2SS Prescott avenue. He left Portland to go East in 1900. "I cannot understand why Herbert re fused to marry Miss Allen, as he has written me several times that it was his intention of making her his wife," said the father yesterday. "I did not know that there had been trouble until I read it in the newspapers. "Only the ISth of last month I received a letter from my son, in which he stated that he intended to marry Miss Allen within a short time. That was the last I heard from him. From the tone of his letters I obtained the impression that he was really In love with her and that it was not a case of mere infatuation. Be lieving this, it is easy to understand how surprised I ,was when 1 read in The Ore gonlan about his failure to .appear when everything had been arranged for the wedding at the young lady's home at St. Louis, and which was followed by his arrest. "Herbert is a level-headed young man, and this makes me wonder all the more. If he were capable of being easily in fluenced it would be different, but I know that his intentions were serious." For about six years Dr. Doty was con ductor on the Alblna line of the old City & Suburban. Before leaving for the East he worked as salesman for the Pacific Coast Biscuit Company. He acquired his knowledge of medicine at St. Joseph, Mo., where he was employed In a drugstore, attending school during his spare hours.' When he graduated last February he went to Kansas City, Kan., where he opened up an office. HOOD RIVER FRTJIT FAIR. O. R. N. Makes Reduced Rate to Rood River. From October 11 to 13 the Hood River biennial fruit fair and Oregon Irrigation Association meeting will be, held at Hood River, and for this occasion the O. R. & N. will make a round-trip rate- from Port land of $2.55. Tickets may be secured at the citv ticket office, corner Third and Washington Streets. PARK AT MT. TABOR City Officials Favor Purchase of Scenic Summit. PROPOSED AREA 124 ACRES targe Reservoir Site, Such a Mayor Lane Says Portland Will Some Day Need, Would Be Included. Sentiment in favor of the city ac quiring Mount Tabor as a reservoir site and for park purposes is grow ing. Mayor Lane and many of the other public officials are inclined to favor the idea and it has received the hearty Indorsement of some of them. Mayor Lane thinks that perhaps the proposition will be submitted to a vote of the people at the June munici pal election. W00DST0CK PUSH CLUB WORKS ACTIVELY F0F BETTERMENT OF SUBURB - I ' - - f A - " v J 1 l if , 'A f - - : ' ' ; C. Ben Klesland, President. The Woodstock Push Club, recently organized with C. Ben Rlesland as president, has undertaken the general betterment of that whole suburb, including Woodstock, Ivan hoe, Lexington and Tremont Park, in the matter of improved roads, better car service and free mail delivery. It has a large and active membership, made up of the leading citizens of that district. Meet ings are held in Woodstock Hall every second and fourth Saturday nights of each month. The club inaugurated and ia enforc ing the stock law. It is also working for an extension of the present electric car line eastward, with good prospects of success. At present it has undertaken to secure free mall delivery for the district southeast of the present Portland free mall delivery. Part of the territory Interested Is Inside of Portland and part outside, and for that reason city free mail delivery will be asked for. The club has out a petition for Bull Bun water which Is being largely Blgned. A vigorous campaign in all lines of Improvement will be Inaugurated, and next Friday night, October 12. a general mass meeting will be held in Wood stock Hall, at which time the Questions of free mail delivery, annexation to Portland, street-car service and other matters will be considered. "It is my opinion that the initiative may be invoked to decide whether the city shall acquire the tract for a res ervoir and for a park," said he yes terday. "It is only a question of time before we shall need another reservoir, as the city is growing, which means increased consumption of water. From what I know I think it probable that the summit of Mount Tabor ' the most suitable site for a reservoir. Be sides the city is offered the opportuni ty of securing a beautiful park. As yet, however, I have not made an ex tended investigation." An option on 14 acres near the sum mit of Mount Tabor has been secured by Frank J. Perkins, which is valued at $20,000. Mr. Perkins has acted un der his own initiative with a view of turning the option over to the city should a purchase be decided upon. Together with the reservoir site the proposed park area embraces 124 acres. No option has been secured on the land separate from the proposed site of the reservoir. Most of the land is owned by individuals, who acquired It for speculative purposes. The area embraced by the proposed park limits does not Interfere with any person's home holdings. The reservoir site upon which an option has been secured and which is owned by Mrs. Harriet Clark, is situ ated about 100 feet below the sum mit of the mountain. Mount Tabor is 645 feet in heighth. It is proposed to construct a reservoir with a capacity of about 140,000,000 gallons. The great advantage urged is the extreme heighth of the mountain above sea level. Borings taken have shown that the site is underlaid with cement grav el for 128 feet down. Mount Tabor is admittedly one of the great scenic points about Port-la-n. About a dozen years ago the old City and Suburban Railway Com pany coivternplatedbuilding a line to A rr A-" ." "v. -aa:ir"- ..nt-iit--- . X ST ' loop the mountain and surveys were made. The line run came within about 75 feet of the summit. Among those who are taking an ac tive Interest In the project are Coun cilmen Wallace. Kellaher, Vaughn. Wills and Menefee, and Dr. C. H. Raf fety, a member of the Water Board. They made a trip to the top of Mount Tabor last Sunday afternoon and re turned greatly pleased with the pro posed site. All of them agreed on the advisability of the 'municipality se curing a site for the reservoir there and tne sentiment was general in get ting sufficient additional land to pro vide another park for the city. The owners of the land which it is planned to create into a park are H. L. Plttock, 15 acres; Smith place, 27 acres; Hosford lots. 9.41 acres: Bel mont villa, 3 acres; Mount Tabor Park, 13.55 acres; Belmont Park, 42.04 acres; Mrs. Harriet Clark, 14 acres. WHAT ADVANTAGES WOULD BE William G. Oberteuffer Describes Possibilities of Mount Tabor Park. PORTLAND. Or.. Oct. 6 (To the Editor.) A People's Park is very much needed. By a. People's Park I mean one without the signs "keep off the grass." one where the people of the city can "keep on the grass," one where organiza tions, lodges, schools, etc., can meet and enjoy a day out of doors, on the grass under trees and in the sun-light and where everyone can feel that the People's Park is In part theirs. A People's Park in the Eastern cities "WW KVftW Oscar T. Olson, Secretary. is a people's playground for old and young, where can be found a baseball field, croquet grounds, post and arches set up ready for use: lawn tennis grounds, posts set up and lines marked out ready for the net and players and tables and benched properly placed in shady, cool places for those who come to stay all day to use in eating lunch or late dinner or supper. Have the taxpayers of Portland such a park? The proposition to give to the people of Portland such a park on Mount Tabor Hill and Incidentally to put a reservoir there will be appreciated by thousands who have come out from town to picnic on this hill in the last six or eight years and by thousands who will come out if the People's Park is established. The cost, after purchase, to keep in proper condi tion and by- proper condition I mean, all underbrush cut down, trees trimmed to 12 feet, all papers and rubbish collected and burned daily would be very small. The present Smith house on the sum mit would serve as a residence for the caretaker and a place of public comfort, where women and children, or anyone in distress could be well cared for till the necessary help should arrive. A People' s Park, to my mind, must not be a show place for strangers but a place where men, women and children can have fun. play games, and feel thoroughly at home. "Ring around the rosie," "clap in clap out" and "hunt the slipper" are games not dead yet and with a lot of little children, played on a green grass field, are as much fun to them now as to the writer and reader 40 years ago, and why should not the little children by little children I mean children up to 12 years old of Portland today have Just such a playground, out of harm's way and out of the dust and dirt of the city, while older children and grown up people would have just such a place to go to for a day's outing as they have not got now. Two car lines reach the place and transfer from all parts of the city. Let us have by all means a People's Park. WUiAM G. OBERTEUFFER. BIDS FOR T Japanese Would Dominate Ocean's Merchant Marine, Says H. B. Miller. WILL BE MANUFACTURERS Commerce of United States in Far East in Danger but on the Whole America Has Nothing to Fear. Although Japan is making wonderful commercial strides, and will soon control the merchant marine of the Pacific and the manufacturing of the Orient, the TJnl- I. O. Royce, Treasurer. ted States has nothing to fear from the industrial development of the England of the West, according to H. B. Miller, Con-sul-General at Yokohama, who is at the Hotel Portland. Mr. Miller is an Oregon man, and his home is at Eugene. Ha, believes that while a big hole will be torn in some lineg of trade from this country to the Orient, in others there will be an increase, and as a whole the com merce from this country across the Pa cific, will continue to grow. Mr. Miller will spend a good part of a 60-day leave of absence picking apples at his farms near Granfs Pass. Or. rather, he will superintend the gathering of the fruit crop and arrange his business af fairs. He will leave for Grant's Pass to day, and after he has visited bis farms near there will go to Eugene. He will return to Portland before leaving for Japan. This Is the first time he has been in this country for two years. His wife and daughters are at Yokohama, but he has two sons in school in California whom he will visit on this trip. "Japan will be the merchant marine master of the Pacific," declared Mr. Mil ler at the Hotel Portland la6t night. "The progress made by Japan in a commercial way during the next ten years will be a greater surprise to the other nations than the strength and power exhibited by the little country during the late war. Will Be Formidable Competitor. "Japan is building up a great Industrial system, and will snatch much trade from other countries. It is doing it already, and its development is but in its Infancy. I believe that some of our lines of com merce will be seriously affected by the competition of Japan, and yet as a whole I do not think this country will suffer. The losses will be offset and probably overrun by gains in other lines of trade. "For maritime supremacy, Japan al ready is giving England a hard rub. This will have no immediate effect upon us. J APAN PACIFIC RE In the manufacture of cotton yarns Japan i9 taking more trade away from the Brit ish. The cotton yarns formerly sold In China from India now come from Japan. Of course, not exclusively. But when Japan begins the extensive manufacture of rough cotton goods, we shall most as suredly feel It. And the Japanese are preparing to undertake this. "Our exports of flour to the Orient will also probably be affected by the competi tion of Japan. Flour mills are being es tablished, but it would be hard to predict how serious an aspect this competition may assume. "As Japan continues to reach out for more commerce, the other nations will be gin to realize the keen competition they have to face. The corporations of Eng land. Germany, the United States and of other countries in competing with the Japanese will find that they are not com peting with an individual or a set o In dividuals, but a whole nation. Government Controls Industries. "The government is back of and prac tically controls every great industry or enterprise in Japan. Consequently, the companies of other countries have to com pete with the government. If one indus try fails to prosper, the government will see that special concessions are made, such as low rate on transportation lines and low rates of interest on borrowed money, until it does get on its feet. "In Japan there is no individualism. The Japanese don't think as individuals, but as groups. To them their country Is everything, and after their country come themselves. The Japanese who saves money or who is striving for an educa tion is doing it primarily for the benefit of his country. Each Japanese is a part of a great machine. In this country it is the individual first. A white man will generally look out for himself first of ail. This concentration of power is one of the things that is making the Japanese such a factor in the competition for the world s commerce." 1 "The credit of the whole country has Improved immeasurably. Not alone of the nation is this true, but also of its in dustrial affairs. Money is being secured at a much lower rate of interest. Before the war, the Japanese people had to pay 12 per cent for their loans, while now they are getting all the money they want for from 5 to 9 per cent. New System Organized. "Outstanding loans are being taken up at the lower rates and the govern ment has organized a new system for the purpose of securing money to be used In developing its industrial resources. The government borrows the money and stands good for It and then arranges to place it wherever needed through the In dustrial Bank of Japan. In this way. lighting plants, waterworks, street rail ways and all sorts of municipal enter prises are readily financed, whereas the separate communities might find great difficulty in raising the money on their own responsibility." Mr. Miller called attention to the Mit sui Company, which is a buying and selling organization designed to eliminate the foreign jobber. This company has agents in all parts of the world and makes purchases of whatever the Japa nese Government or private industries re quire. It has just sent an agent to Okla homa for the purpose of buying cotton, instead of dealing through local brokers. American Trade Growing. Mr. Miller Is confident that the com mercial relations between Japan and the United States are bound to increase with proper encouragement. He ' says that those Americans who make the biggest success in Japan are the ones who have agents on the scene of action and who make permanent connections In the coun try. Representatives should be experts, according to Mr. Miller, for the Japanese mind is very inquisitive and wants minute information. The biggest industry of the day in that country is the development of natural waterpower, Mr. Miller notes, and he says there are many chances in this and kindred lines for Americans there who understand the business. "If the United States wants to keep pace in a commercial way." Mr. Miller remarked, "It should provide the consu lar office' at Yakahama and Shanghai with commercial attaches for the pur pose of studying the industrial develop ments. Germany and England have ex cellent facilities for studying commer cial progress. Our statistical libraries and clerical help do not begin to com pare with theirs." DR. WISE AT THE Y. M. C. A. Departing Kabbi of Temple Beth Is rael Delivers Address. The feature of the Sunday afternoon service at the Y. M. C. A. was a sermon, delivered by Dr. Stephen S. Wise, the de parting rabbi of Temple - Beth Israel. While the religions of Dr. Wise and that of the Y. M. C. A. are cardinally dif ferent, yet the rabbi carefully avoided the differences of creed and preached a ser mon entitled "The Pillars of the Re public." "I am glad to give my last Sunday in this city to the Y. M. C. A., because I realize the universal spirit that charac terizes the association. There are three pillars on which the entire structure of this republic depends: The church, the school, the home. The church, which should, but in many cases unhappily does not, stand for brotherhood and jus tice, is first. It has been said and per haps it is true, that the church is the cause of the loss of religion, the church Is a bulwark against religion.

Pink ham's Vegetable Compound in the Case of Mrs. Fannie D. Fox. Oneof the greatest triumphs of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound is the conquering oi woman's dread en emy, Tunror. The growth of a tumor is so sly that frequently its presence is not suspected until it is far advanced. So-called "wandering' pains" may come from its early stages, or the presence of danger may be made mani fest by profuse monthly periods, accom panied by unusual pain, from the abdomen through the groin and thighs. If you have mysterious pains, if there are indications of inflammation or dis placement, Kecure a bottle of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound right away and begin its use. Mrs. Pinkham, of Lynn, Mass., will give you her advice if you will write her about yourself. She is the daughter-in-law of Lydia E. Pinkham and for twenty-five yearshas been advising sick women free of charge. Dear Mrs. Pinkham: " I take the liberty to congratulate you on the success I have had with your wonderful medicine. Eighteen months ago my periods stopped. Shortly after I felt so bad' that I submitted to a thorough examination by a physician and was told that I had a tumor and would have to undergo an operation. " Soon after I read one of your advertise ments and decided to give Lydia E. Pink ham's Vegetable Compound a" trial. After taking five bottles as directed the tumor is entirely gone. I have been examined by a physician and he says I have no signs of a tumor now. It has also brought my periods around once more, and I am entirely well." Fannie D. Fox, 7 Chestnut Street; also true that the forces of evil always combine and stand together while the army of righteousness Is always scat tered and cannot gain the victory. "Another of the mainstays of this Re public la the public school; this, an in stitution preeminently democratic, that puts the Son of the rich man on the Earn level as the son of the poor man. But the system of private schools Is a sys tem I deplore. It is a barrier to the spirit of democracy, and I will venture to say that in thirty years if this system continues, the rich man's son will not know his brother of the poorer class." THIEVES MAKE HAUL. Pockets Picked on Council Crest Electric Car. Taking advantage of the crowded cars of Portlanderfi who made an ex cursion to Council Crest yesterday, pickpockets relieved two men of their purses containing $122.75 and one gold watch and chain. The theft occurred during the afternoon. James J. Turner missed his puree, containing $95 in gold and $5 in green backs, and W. M. Devits lost his wal let with $22.75 in cash and a check on Ladd Tilton's bank for $2.75. Be sides this the pickpockets took the latter's gold watch and chain. Both robberies were committed on a Coun cil Crest car, between 3:30 and 4 o'clock. Both men reported their losses to the polico headquarters and Captain Bruin took charge of the cases. Bruin declared last night that he thinks a band of professional pickpockets ar rived in the city to "work" Portland, and that from the nature of the rob beries committed yesterday the crooks will probably attempt to pick pockets today. There Is no doubt In the minds of police officials that the work yesterday was the work of professional crooks. Th's Is confirmed by rumors received from Seattle that two professional pickpockets, well known to the police west of Missouri, were on their way to Portland to reap a rich harvest here, profiting by the absence of de tectives who know them by sight, re fering to the sleuths who were de posed by the executive board some time ago. Although Captain Bruin declared he would take all steps to apprehend the crooks, he expects that it will be very hard to detect the criminals. If they are professionals, as their work is dona so quickly and dexterously that the person whose pocket is picked knows nothing of it at the time. A favorita custom of the crooks Is to follow a person who obtained some money from some bank to a crowded car or an ele vator an.l then pick his pocket. Cap tain Bruin asks everybody to bs on their guard against the thieves. COD LIVER OIL. It almost makes you sick to think of it, but it isn't nearly as bad as it used to be. The improved method of refining it makes it much easier to take, and when made into Scott's Emulsion almost every one can take it. Most children like it and all children that are not robust are benefited by it. When the doctor says "Take cod liver oil," he generally means Scott's Emulsion; ask him if he doesn't. They know it is more easily digested and better than the plain oil. SCOTT & BOWNE. 409 Teal Street. Nw YOik.
