RUTS The walking sick, what a crowd of them there are: Persons who are thin and weak but not sick enough to go to bed. “Chronic cases” that’s what the doctors call them, which in common English means—long sickness. To stop the continued loss of flesh they need Scott’s Emulsion. For the feeling of weakness they need Scott’s Emulsion. It makes new flesh and gives new life to the weak system. Scott’s Emulsion gets thin and weak persons out of the rut. It m£kes new, rich blood, strengthens the nerves and gives appetite for ordinary food. Scott’s Emulsion can be taken as long as sickness lasts and do good all the time. There’s new strength and flesh in every dose. We will be glad y° u a * ew doses free.

The Indianapolis papers make a regular feature of funny piotnres of the members of the legislature now in session, and especially of the prominent ones. These pictures are oarioatures, though good natnred ones. Both the News and the Journal have thus illustrated our representative, Jesse E. Wilson, the latest being in today’s Journal. Mr. Wilson is represented addressing the chair with a bill in his hand, and he is labelled Rep Wilson a “Jasper” man. If the likeness is a correct one then the Hon.
