Every Two Minutes Physicians tell us that all the blood in a healthy human body passes through the heart once in every two minutes If this action becomes irregular the whole body suffers. Poor health follows poor blood ; Scott’s Emulsion makes the blood pure. One reason why

SCOTT’S EMULSION is such a great aid is because it passes so quickly into the blood. It is partly digested before it enters the stomach ; a double advantage in this. Less work for the stomach; quicker and more direct benefits. To get the greatest amount of good with the least possible effort is the desire of everyone in poor health. Scott’s Emulsion does just that. A change for the better takes place even before you expect it. tWe will send you a sample free. Be sure that this picture in the form of a label is on the wrapper of every bottle of Emulsion you buy. Scott & Bowne Chemist* 409 Pearl St., N. Y. 50 cents and fi.oo AU druggists

CITY COUNCILS TO RUN SALOONS

Thu eday’s Indianapolis Star: I An I idianapolis lawyer. wh < haa been making h s udy o’ the cites and towns act, discove>ed yesterday Hint the ant giver city c iiinoi's remarkably treed poors eg t > 'h‘ srli of .ntoxicants The law gives council *ht> ngl t to ‘•license, iax, reu>uL.ta a d restrain” all places wlure liqu >r is ! sodto be used o 1 tbe p emie- a; to d iuote the room, bni di g or etructurewhere such liquors may be s >ld to ‘ exclude such salee from toe suburban cr residence pa t such oitj to ‘‘direct the arrauge-

"I do not believe that s -me members of tbe Legislature knew that this provision as to saloons was on the bill.” eaid the lawyer yesterday. ‘or there would have been amendments offered. "There is no doubt that the State has a right to delegate its police powers to cities in this way if it so choeses This section certainly gives city councils the power practically to do away with saloons if they want to.”

The Anti-Saloon War In Benton.

The war against the saloons in our neighboring county ts Benton sail go-ts merrily on, The Fowler Republican says there were three applicants this month for licenses to sell intoxicants in three townships and all were defeated by remaostrananoe. The saloon busi-u-sa in Benton’county is becom ing more odious’every day. But two saloon townships are left and the day of their doom is near at band, When these two townships drive out sa’oons Benton county Zephyrs will pe sweeter.

In Center township where Fowler is the 16th successive applicant was defeated by remans tr a Lee, Earl Perk, in Richland township, has long been the Gibralter of the saloonists, but it is thought now that Gibralter will soon be Port Athured by a township remonstrance under the Moore bill and that same fate will overtake the saloons in thecther two townships which] permits alocns, this wiping cut saloons in the intire county The Republican claims that to have reliable ioformatio 1 that when a remonstrance against the business is circulated in Center township every lawyer in Fowler will sign it,
