It would pay our people to get
busy now and organize a stock

Wm. R. Hearst has acquired a
tall feather for his cap in the Su
preme Court decision in the An
thracite Coal ease, prohibiting
railroad companies from discrim
inating among their customers,
and compelling companies to ex
hibit their contracts. Mr. Hearst
instituted this suit at his own ex
pense and resolutely carried it
through to success, but one of the
“independent” papers of Wash
ington announced it in startling
headlines as ‘‘A Great \ ictory For
The Administration!"
The Journal regrets to note that
there has been no donations to the

read and admired by numbers of
people in this part of the country
and we would like very much to
see our people contribute a nice,
sum to this fund.
The Sharp County Record inti
mates that The Journal can go to j

having to follow directly in the j
footsteps of the Record all the way
and then have to stand out in the
sun and endure that torturous cli
mate and inhale the gas-laden air
while Old Satan disposes of Coger.

Robbed The Grave
A startling incident, is narrated
by John Oliver of Philadelphia,as
follows: "1 was in an awful con
dition. My skin was almost yel
low, eyes sunken, tongue coated,
pain continually in back and sides,
no appetite, growing weaker day
by day. Then I was advised to
use Electric Bitters, to my great
joy, the first bottle made a decided
i improvement. I continued their
i use for three weeks, and am now
| a well man. I know they robbed
| the grave of another victim.” No
one should fail to try them. Only

Like the running brook, the
■ed blood that flows through
! the veins has to come from
j somewhere.
The springs of 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.
