Does your horse "feel his
oats"? What a difference be
twecn the grain-fed and the
grass-fed horse! The first
strong and full of ginger, the
second .flabby, weak and tired
out before he begins. The
feeding makes the difference.
Children ar e not alike either,
One is rosy, bright-eyed, full
of life and laughter, another is
pale, weak and dull. The feed
ing again is responsible.
Sickly children need special
feeding. They don't "feel their
oats". Scott's Emulsion adds
just the right richness to their
diet. I t is like grain to the
horse. The child gets new
appetite and strong digestion;
Scott's Emulsion is more
than food. It is a strong
medicine. It rouses up dull
children, puts new flesh on thin
ones and red blood into pale
ones. It makes children grow.
Scott's Emulsion makes ordi
nary food do its
duty.

These same people will probably want

These excursions are becoming more
popular each year and the reasons as

with the management is done to make
the excursionists comfortahle: that at
holiday time the city of San Francisco
is aglow with festivities peculiar to. the
season, and that the date lixcd Is at a
time when so many people are desiring
a rest and recreation from the business

Ride In Street Cars, '
The connection between the microbe
and the street car strup has frequents
ly been discusited nnd -a I least one Ins
urance has proved somewhat distress--Ingly
that danger-is likely to lurk in
the piece of leather which helps toup
port so many women during the rusk
hours of the- day. It was to protect
a fresh pair of white gloVea thai
New York woman, compelled to stand,
held her handkerchief inside the simp
while going to the theater a short time
ago, says the Sun. On her way homo
she was again compelled to stand, uil
once more the handkerchief came be
tween her glove and the leather.
Whether it was after that or during
the evening at the theater that she
once thoughtlessly put the handker
chief to her face ia a detail that she
does not recall, but two day after
ward a pain on her lip became so Intol
erable that she wa compelled to see
a doctor, who found her suffering from
Incipient blood poisoning which it was
already too late for him to prevent.
The most that he could do was tm
watch her carefully through s long at
tack of Illness which at one tima
threatened to end fatally.
Me attributed this to some poison
ous spbstance which had passed to her
handkerchief from the strap, and fht
was his diagnosis the moment he bar4
the story of the ride on the cable car.
She fortunately recovered, and' her
physicians'think that the present tfis
flgurement to her face which result!
from the necessity of an operation wiH
not be permanent. The cose has coif
rlnced this physician, who is a man of
considerable experience in surgery, of
the dangers that lurk in the street car
strap.
