THE RAFTING TRADE.

A representative of THE BEE talked the other day with one of the leading hat manufacturers of the town. It was the opinion of this gentleman, and he IS 8 conservative and successful business man, that the hating trade was never in more quiet state than now. There
 are plenty of orders in sight, if the business conditions at large were good. It was his opinion tha5 the cause of number of recent failures in the hating trade was the firms had manufactured goods below cost to get business, and had met with reverses as the re"ult. If business revived generally, he believed there would be no trouble about hating.

We wish every young man In Connec ticut would read what Editor Box, the successful editor of the Ladies' Home Journal, has to say to correspondent about moderate drinking. It is so good we give it entire: An overindulgence in alcoholic stimulants always starts from small beginnings, and generally the start comes in the form of Ia sip of wine'' to "oblige friend" It is not long ways from sip to glass. Let it alone and you will be far better off-infnitely bet ter. Study the tendencies of the times and see for yourself that each year men who drink liquor take less of 1t, while more men do not drink at all than in any previous year in our history. The con- sumption of spirituous liquors has de- creased to a remarkable degree during the past 40 years in proportion to the in- crease in population. Our new industri- al forces and systems are the compelling influences in this reform. Railroads, for example, now make sobriety obligatory upon their employees. An incorporate man can no longer obtain railroad po- sition. So 1t Is in all great factories, foundries, mills, electric works, building and machinery shops. Men who are but moderate drinkers are debarred from po- sitions of trust in any of these trades. Even the elevated lines and trolley car companies have recently decided that they will employ only men of the strict est sobriety. Intemperance IS becoming, more and more so every day, distinct barrier to success. Not only the man of drinking habits, but the moderate tippler finds himself outstripped by the man of strict sobriety. It is very significant fact that the managers of the greatest liquor trust in America recently adoped an iron-clad rule to employ none but strictly temperate men. Depend upon it, the young man who to-day absolutely abstains from all sorts of alcoholic bey- erages will be the successful man of to- morrow.

It has passed into an adage that the sun never sets on John Bulls farm.

Indigestion is often taken for con-
sumption. The word consumption
means wasting away, and dyspep-
tics often waste away as badly as
consumptives.
The reason people waste away is
because either they don't get
enough to eat, or they don't digest
what they do eat.
If the latter is your trouble, take
Shaker Digestive Cordial. This
will help you to digest your food
and stop your loss of flesh.
Shaker Digestive Cordial is made
from herbs, barks and the juices OF
fruit, by the well-known Shakers at
Mount Lebanon. Itpossesses great
tonic and digestive powers.
Shaker Digestive Cordial has
cured many supposed consumptives
who were really dyspeptics), by
simply helping their stomachs to
digest their food, thus giving them
nourishment and new strength.

KIRBY BEACH OPENED.
New Dressing Rooms, New Bottom,
Salt Water-Also Lunch Stand,
Etc Etc.

The TEXARKANIAN representative,
went out yesterday and had
plunge in Kirby natatorium, Kirby
beech.
The lake has been drained of, and
the bottom graveled and many
thousand pounds of salt added to
the water, besides a long row of
bath honses, or rather dressing
rooms, have been built, since We
we're there last year.
Mr.. Kirby the proprietor, has
added 25 dressing rooms for men
and seven for ladies'; these rooms
are 6x6 and have benches running
across and plenty of pegs for hang
ing garments. In front is a long
loored walk. way, which leads down
to the water.
The lake has been curbed up with
slanting curb and it is impossible
to muddy the water by playing
about the banks as the earth is not
exposed in the least.
The water is as clear as well
water, when dipped up in vessel
and Inspected, though it has blue
cast in the lake.
Mr.. Kirby will keep a lunch stand
and serve hot coffee, ice cream,
cake, pies or anything found in a
confectionery. He has in connec-
tion an omnibus, which will hold
ten, and viii call for those who may
wish to have plunge in his beauti-
full lake.
The ladies' department has been
separated from the gentlemens, and
they can now go into the lake and
out OF it without making the least
exposure of ankle or arm.
Mr.. Kirbys charges are reason
able being 10 cents to those whom
he does not send after in his bus,
and 25 cents to those whom he
brings and carries back, including
bath.
The lake is a body of water, fed
from a spring some six hundred
yards off, the water being piped to
the lake through a pipe and the
discharge from the lake is about
the same ratio, keeping the water
renewed all the time. Besides this
water there is a Espring at the
bottom of the lake.
Mr.. Kirby said after draining it,
that it took 81 days to fill it from
his springs, and from calculations
made the lake contained 800, 900
gallons of water.
The season is now opened and the
water is tempered to the required
warmth, and if you want to en-
Joy a "sea bath" at home, now is
your time.
Leave orders at Sam Ragland's
for the bus, and your wants will be
attended to.

way to overcome or prevent malaria,
