Who Gets the Benefits2

The ordinary family will consume in the
course of year about 2c0 pounds of sugar,
costing, by reason of the Mckinley bill,
cents per pound or $40 for the entire amount.
1t is said there is fair profit to the manu-
facturers at this price. but the paternal gov
ernment, with generosity greater than its
justice, agrees to pay the manufacturer 2
cents pound for all sugar produced in this
country. This cents pound is taken from
the tariff tax collected from the people on
other necessaries of life, such as clothing,
fuel and food. No one will dispute the fact
that cheap sugar of itself is beneficial, but
just how the people are to derive benefits
from 'cheap sugar" when the tariff is raised
on other necessaries of life in order to get a
fund sufficient to pay to the manufacturers
the guarantee 2cents bounty, is not appar-
ent. 1t is hard to see how man can get
rich by taking the money out of one pocket
and placing it in the other.-Plain Dealer.

virtues of Mush and MIX.

A famous physician sums up the virtues Of
cornmeal in the following words: SEAT a
good bowl of mush and milk for your break
fast, and you will not need any medicine.
Indian corn contains large amount of
nitrogen, has qualities anticonstipating ani
is easy assimilated. tits cheap, and has {
property. A course of Indian meal in the
shape of Johnny cake, hoecake, corn or pone
breed and mush, relieved by copius draughtt
'of pure cows milk, to which, if inclined tc
dyspepsia, a little lime water may be added
will make life, now burden, well worth liv.

to correct your nervousnesss, to brighter
your vision and give you sweet and peace

Killed.

CLEVELAND, 0.,April lS.-A frightful
wreck occurred on the Lake Shore rail-
road at Kipton Station, about 40 miles
west of Cleveland early this evening, In
which six postal clerks and two engin-
eers were killed. The fast mail, No, IA,
bound east, collided with No 2l, the
Toledo express, just.as the latter train
was about to pull on the siding to let
the fast mail pass. The fast mail was
running at full speed, and the force of
the collision was so great that both
engines, three mail cars and one baggage
car were completely wrecked. The
following is the list of the dead:

Toledo.

black erysipelas which it is claimed was sup
