| One of the most amusing and suggestive
scenes is Il company of average Americans
at II dinner table: Suggestive, because it
indicates the prevailing national habit OF
rapid eating, with its inevitable result
Dyspepsia. Ifpcopc must eat so rapidly
as to induce discomfort and ultimately es-
tablish disease, then let such, for self inter
est at least, remove all discomfort and ten
dencv to disease 10y taking that most ctica-
cious mcdieinc-Kcller's Vegetable Life
Drops, freely recommended, because it
never fails.
THE Frederick Examiner complains Bit
terly of country people and others who are
in the habit of tying their horses in front
of private residences and leaving them
there for hours at a time to the great an
noyancc of the families and sure ruin OF
the shade trees this hot weather. The same
might be said of this place and we think
that the poor dumb animals should be bet
ter taken care of than to be allowed TO
stand in the street for the flies to worry
and torment.
