For Thin
Babies
Fat is of great account
to a baby; that is why
babies are fat. If your
baby is scrawny, Scott's
Emulsion is what he
wants. The healthy baby
stores as fat what it does
not need immediately for
bone and muscle. Fat
babies are happy ; they do
not cry ; they are rich ;
their fat is laid up for
time of need. They are
happy because they are
comfortable. The fat sur-1
rounds their little nerves
and cushions them. When
they are scrawny those
nerves are hurt at every
ungentle touch. They
delight in Scott's Emul
sion. It is as sweet as
wholesome to them.

wrapper of every bottle of
Emulsion you buy

The Youngest Senator.
Wheu the nejr Congress me-ts,
| the youngest Senator to take
bis seat in that body will be now
Governor Meek ham.of Kentucky.
That will do to think over. When
in madness and foll^ Governor
Goebel, of K'-urucky, was shot
down by mountain bullies and
desperadoes six years ago, this
young man Meckhara, then a
boy, was i.i?i] tenant Governor
and by virtue of that fact came
to be Governor. So soberly
and wisely did he manage affairs
that when His accidental term
was done, he was re-elected Gov
ernor on his own account bv a
great!v increased majority. Now
it chances that Kentucky is a
whiskey State aud many of its
towns were "wide open" ou Sun
days. The young Governor said
Sunday should be respected and
that saloons on t hat day must
shut up?or they would be shut
up seven days, instead of one, in
the week Soberness backed him
up aud then instead of becoming
unpopular from spreading such
a sentiment Beckham became
popular, for lie was honest and
sober and sound.
This fall, when entering the
race for Uuited States Senator,
he went before the people in the
primary on his temperance rec
ord. He plead for temperance
on the hustings and from the
stump, and his nomination,
equal in Kentucky to election,
is the vindication of his efforts
and a distinct triumph for tem
perance and sobriety even in
this whiskey-manufacturing and
whiskey-consuming State. Grad
ually the cause of soberness, tem
Eierance and order triumphs.

LOOK OUT FOR IMITATIONS
With Tags About the Same
Color and Design As
The quality of the genuine sun cured tobacco used in
REYNOLDS' Sun C urea and grown on soil where the best
sun cured tobacco grows, has caused imitation brands to be
brought out and offered as the genuine Reynolds' Sun Cured
to unsuspecting dealers and chewers who cio not look closely
at the printing on the box and on the tag.
These brands only imitate the outward abearance and do
not possess the genuine inside quality that has been found in
Reynold's Sun Cured ever since Reynolds' Sun Cured was
introduced and which has so increased the chewing of sun
cured tobaccos and proven so popular, that the word " Sun
Cured" is now printed on tags or in the advertising of many
brands claimed to be genuine sun cured tobacco.
Did you ever see the word "Sun Cured" used in any
chewing tobacco advertisement, o. on any chewing tobacco
tag or label, or in any other way, before it was introduced and
used to identify the genuine Reynold;' Sen Cured? You see
it frequently now, because many imitation hands are being
made to appear as nearly like Reynolds' Sun Cured as they
dare?with tag, shape of plug r.r.d style of package so similar
that experienced buyers sometimes accept these imitations as
the genuine Reynolds' Sun Cured.
Don't be deceived into taking imitation brands for the
genuine. Be sure the letters on the tag spell " R-e-y-n-o-l-d-s'
Sun Cured," and you get the best value in sun cured chewing
tobacco that can be produced for chewers. Sold at 50c. per
pound in 5c. cuts; strictly 10c. and 15c. plugs, with chewing
qualities like that which was sold from 00c. to gl.00 per pound
before Reynolds' Sun Cured was offered to the trade.
