SOFICMtE Like the running brook, the red blood that flows through the veins has to come from somewhere. The springs of red blood are found in the soft core of the bones called the marrow and some say red blood also comes from the spleen. Healthy bone marrow and - healthy spleen are full of fat. 'Scott's Emulsion makes new blood by feeding the bone marrow and the spleen with the richest of all fats, the pure cod liver oil. For pale school girls and invalids and for all whose bloocf is thin and pale, Scott's Emulsion is a pleasant and rich blood food. It net only feeds the blood-making organs but gives them strength to do their proper work. #?r?- r? ? *W| MCC BillllplC. SCOTT * llOWNK, Ou.-iniftt< 409-415 Ptarl Street.

The uso of whiskey for tho purpose of influencing votes is one of :he worst forms of bribery imaginable, as it is an evil that is growing with alarming rapidity vnd great boldness. It is generally stated and admitted that large quantities of liquor have been sent to yarious parts of Dorchester county, for the purpose of controlling votes, and so common has it become as to be frequently referred to as (/no of the natural evils attending upon every election. Not only this, but it is claimed that many casas of liquor ire regularly distributed through the dispensaries in tho State, in the interest of favored candidates. To great has become the evil that it should be made a matter for qieeial legislation. A law con [iscaimg 10 mo dtato any liquor found within a certain distance of ii voting precint, and punishing the party in whoso possession it is found, might have some effect.
