quirements of affairs can say to HIM
self that now truly he knows what
blizzard is. Now he known what is

Of this morning, laden with fine needles
of snow, penetrating the clothing, froze
upon the hair, blinded the eyes Of man
and beast, and was the first sample Of
the blizzard that New York has ever
known. There have been storms as
bad, perhaps, in years long gone by,
but we had not then learned to know
them in their style and qnality as the
modern blizzard, that dreaded vista

Yellow River works who showed

measures TO prevent tho recent floods

light punishment, and they were or

sentiment in favor of the subsidy, and
the Leader will be second to none

POISONED FRUIT.
An Incident Showing the Terrible Con-
sequences of Unripe Fruit ana the
MNsinrInms Dnnrnrs of the Senann.

An Incident Showing the Terrible Con-
sequences of Unripe Fruit and the
Mysterious Dangers of the Season.
The inhabitants of the city of New
York became greatly excited recently be-
cause cargo OF poisoned fruit was re.
Ceived and distributed in the metropolis
from which several people became sick.
Poisoned fruit is bad enough, it Is true,
but how about the green fruit that is sold
and devOured during the entire summer?
How about the poisonous water that is
drank by the millions in the cities Of the
land every day. How about the hot
weather that produces disease germs in
the air and in the water? All these are
pOisons far worse in their effects than Il
single cargo of poisoned fruit, and men,
women and children have to fight against
them all summer long. But the question
is asked, what can we do? Unripe fruit
is shipped to the city, and we are often
compelled to eat that or none at all. The
water may be bad, but what can we
drink?
There is only one way of absolutely
preventing these poisons, or checking
them before they produce feyers, dysen-
terry, cholera or death, and that is by the
this now, and pure whiskey is the first
thing that is always prescribed when
anybody is prostrated with summer sick
ness. 1t Is for this very reason that
Duily's Pure Malt Whiskey has become
so phenomenally popular. Is is superior
to ordinary whisllles, for, besides being
absolutely pure and free from fusel oil, il
contains medicinal properties which en-
able il to certainly Kill all disease germs
that may be in unripe fruit, poisoned
water or oyerheated air. Taken in q glass
of water 1t kills all poison that may pos
sibly he In the water; taken with a little
ice it becomes n refreshing drink and q
sure preventive of all summer dangers.
