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 * i 1.1 i 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 blood is thin and pale, Scott's Emulsion is a pleasant and rich blood food. It not only feeds the blood-making organs but gives them strength to do their proper work. Send for free samnle.

From the opening day to its close much interest was manifested in the work by both the teacher-pupils anu the instructors. Those whom we have heard express themselves on the subject are unanimous in the opinion that it was the most successful school yet taught. There is no question however about the teachers who attended the sessions regularly Kolnof mimh henafitprl therehv and ? -? ?. ^ the good accomplished in other reepects will leave its impress upoD the minds and live* of the scholars who were trained by the teachers who attended this school. All are loud in singing the praises of Profs. Derrick and R. A. Law and Miss Carrie Guignard for the very efficient manner in which they discharged their respective duties and for their uniform kindness and patience in helping to those who sought to j be instructed. They are all well known educators and their labors in our midst will not return to them void of good results. We miss greatjly the bright and | happy faces of the lady teachers from our midst. Their presence among us was like a benediction of sunshine and they enlivened the dull i _t L monotony Ol our iu wii wuu cuo jxiciij peals of their laughter, and the young men have left an aching void in many a heart and their gentlemanly deportment and studious habits impressed us all favorably. May their future be gilded w ,h the rays of success and all their days be days of peace, happiness and prosperity. Rotes from Summit.
