GRANDMA HAD CONSUMPTION and I am afraid I have inherited it. I do not feel well; I have a cough; my lungs are sore; am losing flesh. What shall I do? Your doctor says take care of yourself and take plain cod-liver oil, but you can't take it. Only the strong, healthy person can take it, and they can’t take it long. It is so rich it upsets the stomach. But you can take ■ SCOTT'S EMUISION It is very palatable and easily digested. If you will take plenty of fresh air, and exercise, and SCOTT’S EMULSION steadilv, there is very little doubt about your recovery. There are hypophosphites in it; they give strength and tone up the nervous system while the cod-liver oil feeds and’nourishes, \oc. .Tnd st.oo, all dr'jjrgbts. . SCOTT & BOWNE, Chemists, New York.

Delphi Journal: —The people of Porto Rico will pay a slight tax toward the maintenance of their government, but inasmuch as, they do not pay any taxes on their lands or buildings, no property taxes of any kind, they are still the lightest taxpayers of any country en earth, in spite of all the hysterical ravings that have gone out from theorists and impractical statesmen and mugwumps in this country. The question of whether the open air free band concerts which have proved such a popular feature and strong drawing card for several years past, shall be continued this year, is now up to our business men. The expectation is to give them on Thursday nights, this season, and to begin early in May. The subscription paper will be taken around early next week, and we have no doubt will meet a ready and generous reception, as is right and proper that it should.

Valparaiso, which has just had an attack of “Saplio” is to catch it . again from another company. This manager informs the people that the first company gave only a garbled and abridged rendering of the play, but his company will give the real hot stuff. Bro. Zimmerman, of the Valparaiso Messenger, is surely the “Dean” of the newspaper corps of northwest Indiana. The weekly Messenger was 29 years old, last Thursday, and all that time under one management.
