CJJHE above picture of the
man and fish is the trade-
s mark of Scott’s Emulsion,
and is the synonym for
strength and purity. It is sold
in almost all the civilized coun-
tries of the globe.
If the cod fish became extinct
it would be a world-wide calam-
ity, because the oil that comes
from its liver surpasses all other
fats in nourishing and life-giving
properties. Thirty years ago
the proprietors of Scott’s Emul-
sion found a way of preparing
eod liver oil so that everyone can
take it and get the full value of
the oil without the objectionable
taste. Scott’s Emulsion is the
best thing in the world for weak,
backward children, thin, delicate
people, and all conditions of
wasting and lost strength.

The facts were not disputed or
denied. A great deal of the time
was occupied in arguing the law
to the court, defendant’s counsel
insisting that the court should
instruct the jury to find that un-

test as to when the title passed;
that the question as to where the
tittle passed and therefore where
the sale was consummated was
an issue of fact to be determined
by thejury under all the facts and
circumstances in evidence in con-
nection with the printed order.
The court charged the jury in
substance that to convict they
must find from all the evidence
that the title to and ownership of
the property actualy passed and
vested in the purchaser in Hill
county and that in determining
this this issue they had the right
to look to the order, what was
said and done by the parties to
the contract, and to all the facts
and circumstances proved.
The motion for a new trial has
been overruled, the case appealed
and a decision is expected from
the court of criminal appeals at
Dallas some time in January.

LETTER TO CARL ODLE.
Dear Sir: The way to reckon
the cost of paint is to put both
costs together; the cost of the
paint and the cost of putting it
on.
It would save this country hun-
dreds of millions of dollars a year:
it would save you alone (if you
happen to be victum) several dol-
lars a year.
See how it works. It costs as
much to put-on one paint
other, don't it?
Yes, if you use the same
ber of gallons.
as an-
num-
Well, don’t I?
No, you'll use twice as many
gallons of adulterated paint as of
Devoe; and you’ve got to pay
twice as much for putting it on.
Mr. N. Avery, Delhi, N Y. has
two houses alike and in same con-
dition. Painted one house with
Devoe: 6 gallons. Painted the
other house with a paint that was
half adulteration: 12 gallons.
Same painter Geo. Gilbert, did
both jobs. One cost $27; the
other $54.
Better go by the name.
Yours truly

A COSTLY MISTAKE.
Blunders are sometimes very
expensive. Occasionally life
itself is the price of a mistake,
but you’ll never be wrong if you
take Dr. King’s New Life Pills

They are gentle yet thorough.
