A MISTAKEN IDEA
There are some people who still resort
to drugged pills or alcoholic syrups to
overcome colds, nervousness or general
debility, and who know that the pure,
unadulterated nourishment in Scott's
Emulsion is eminently better, but refrain
from taking it because they fear it may
lead to excessive fat or obesity.
This is a mistaken idea, because Scott's
Emulsion first strengthens the body before
making llesn. its blood-torming proper
ties aid nature to throw off sickness by '
building health from its very source, and '
flesh is formed only by its continued use.
.Avoid alcoholic substitutes for SCOTT'S.

and concisely told. The paper,

her daughters, Misses Edna and
Ada Morse. Not until almost 6
o'clock did the Shumias leave for
home, all agreeing that the Sorosis

Cold Bath Changes Mind
of Would-be Suicide
A couple of boys rushed up to the
sheriff's office Monday afternoon in
a very excited state of mind to in
form the officials that a crazy man
had tried to commit sukide by
jumping off the Crooked river
bridge into the river. From the
description of the man given by the
boys the authorites decided that the
would-be suicide could be none other
than John Benson, the Madras bad
check man, who has been on a spree
here since he was liberated from the
county jail about a week ago. The
description tallies with his appear
ance. Benson's relatives supplied
him with money when he was re
leased from custody, but instead of
getting out of town he spent it in
booze. Benson's bath had a sober
ing effect, for he struck off in the
direction of Redmond.
