Dwelling at some length upon the
notlj purposes oi Woodcraft Mr. Miller
folly explained tbe workings, of tbe or
der and pointed with pride to tbe inex
haustible advantages of becoming a Mod
ern Woodman. "jJoth business and
pleagure combining appeal to a man's
judgment," and in comparing ratea the

perior qualities of tbe order placing tha

speedily realized judging from tbe man

Tbe ball wat then cleared (or action,
and tbe grand ball tbat followed waa on

tbit particular occaseion did not any
time falter in tbe strains of moaie.
The new camp at Detroit launch-
forth witb the moet flattering prospects
lor a tpeedy growth aod prosperity.

Weak
Children
How sad it b to see weak
children boys and girls who
are pale and thin. They can
not enjoy the sports of child
hood, neither are they able
A e a a.
to profit by school lire. They
are indeed to be pitied. But
there is hope for them, v
Scott's Emulsion
has helped such children for
over a quarter of a century.
Your doctor will ttfl yoa it b both
food and medicine to them. Thev
begin to pick op at once under its
use. Their color ImDrwrs. the fleih
becomes more firm, the weight
increases and B the full Cfe and
vigor of childhood returns again.
At all dnmhts I yoe. and Si job.
