Mr. Editor, I noticed in the columns of your paper where about two hundred and eight persons are drawing pensions. In my opinion there is something wrong somewhere. There are men that who have made their property over to their children in order to get the pension and set up and do nothing and put their pension money out on interest. Is this right? No! There are women who are getting a pension that were glad the day they received the news that their husband was dead upon the battle field. There are persons that were injured by the war besides the soldiers, where are t.hpir npnsinnf.? T am not aaainst ..... r. ? o the soldiers. I love them, but I say it is the duty of every citizen to defend his State and home without asking for a pension for it, especially those who can do without it. The soldier who asks for no pension ia the one who deserves the most honor and whose songs were for "Dixie Land, I take my stand to live or die in Dixie Land." Rush. Sad ITews.

Call the disease rickets if you want to. The growing child must eat the right food for growth. Bones must have bone food, blood must have blood food and so 011 through the list. Scott's Emulsion is the right treatment for soft bones in children. Little doses everyday pive the stiffness and shape o that healthy bones should have. Bow legs become straighter, loose joints grow stronger and firmness comes to the soft heads. Wrong food caused the trouble. Right food will cure it.
