The springs o? 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 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 sample. SCOTT ft DOWNK, ChenihM, 409-413 Pcnrl Street.

Druggist. SRXW3ICVQRMSCMSK SRJKMJK4 *W. C. T. U. Cal ?iint?MBISiiTilfi The Loyal Temperance Lesion. There waa no meeting of the L. T. L. last Sunday afternoon, owing to the sud den illness of Mrs. Kay, who has been oonduoting tho meetings for Mra. S. N. Pitchford, the loader, until ahe ia able to tako them in charge herself. The ohll dren were no doubt very much diaap pointed, as they had expeotod to receive thoir badges and some new books on that day. We hope that Mrs. Kay will soon bo in good health again, and that there will be nothing to prevent a full attend ance of all tho members at the noxt meet ing, whioh will be held noxt Sunday afternoon at 6 o'clock at the usual placo. Let eaoh member try to bring others and get them to join tho society. We wore pleased to enroll six boys BB members at the last meeting. While wo are always glad to BOO the glrlB, yet, for obvious reason B, we wish tho boys espe cially to come. So far the girls have been very muon in the majority. The boys should not let the girls get ahead of them in good works. i Sam Jones says that "one reason why I bei n is no marrying nor giving in mar riage in heaven is because there are so many moro women than men up there that if eaoh woman was required to have a husband tho men would have to ho Mormons, as there wouldn't be enough of them to go around." It ia to be hoped that bois mistaken, but it certainly doos look as if there was a Btrong probability of his being right whon you go toohuroh, or prayor meeting, or any religious gath oring and compare the number of women with tho number of men. If the paren!-, will only do thoir duty in regard to these meetings by giving tho children permission, thoy will all bo protty suro to oomo. Young peoplo aro generally ready for a diversion of any kind-hence tho nooossit y of providitlg thom with a "diversion'' of tho right kind-especially on Sunday afternoons. There is too much Sabbath-breaking going on thoso days, and ion littlo "re membering to keep the day holy," as we are commanded to do.
