Other routine business was transacted. There are some people who will have something denunciatory to say about the mass convention held at Winslow last Saturday. The convention was as fair and square as any mass convention and the defeated candidates are all in line for the nominees.—Petersburg Press. Sure, it was a fair square deal to read about it in the Press, but there are a great may people who think the convention was “set up,” and the bosses were somewhat knocked out when certain candidates were defeated. If there was harmony in that convention, then why the above? An excuse should never be made wherej harmony exists by the hogshead.

SCROFULA. One of America's most famous physicians says: “Scrofula is external consumption.” Scrofulous children are often beautiful children, but they lack nerve force, strong bones, stout muscles and power to resist disease. For delicate children there is no remedy equal to Scott’s Emulsion i of God-liver Oil with Hypophosphites of Lime and Soda. It fills out the skin by putting good flesh beneath it. It makes the cheeks red by making rich blood. It creates an appetite for food and gives the body power enough to digest it. Be sure you get SCOTT’S Emulsion. 50c and fi.oo; all druggist*.
