EXPOSURE to Disease

Does not necessarily mean the con-
traction of disease provided the sys-
tenn is in a vigorous condition, with
the blood pure and all the organs in
healthy action. When in such condi-
tion contagious is readily resisted and
the disease germs can find no lodg-
ment. Hoods Sarsaparilla is the best
medicine to build up the system be-
cause it makes pure, rich blood, and
pure blood is the basis of good health.
In cold weather it is especially neces-
sary to keep up the health tone because
the body is subject to greater exposure
and more liable to disease. Hood s
Sarsaparilla is the safeguard of health.

But It Pays if Properly Done The Newspaper IS the Only Successful
 Medium.

John Wanamakef, the great Phila. delphia merchant, said In a recent interview: q never in my life used such d thing as a poster or a dogger or handbill. My plan for twenty years has been to buy so mnch space in a newspaper and fill 1t up as I wanted. l would not give an ad ia a newspaper of 600 circulation for 5000 dodgers or posters. I deal directly with the publisher say to him, "how long will you let me run a column of matter through your paper for $100 or $500 as the case may be- let him do the iigur- irg, and if thInk he is rot trying to take more than his share 1 give him the copy. lay aside the profit on a particular line of goods for ad. vertising purposes. At first laid aside s, 900; last year laid aside and spent $40, 1000 l have done better this year and shall increase that sum as the profits warrant l owe my success to newspapers and to them freely give certain profit of my yearly business.

It Begins Work When Three Dass Old and Dies at Eorty-lve.
 G. ". Reynolds of Los Angeles one of the oldest tray cling men ill the United States, has ranch of which he enjoys telling even more than he does of the experiences through which he has passed during his half century upon the road The ranch is near San Diego, 1 Gal The chief product is honey This product is gained from two apiaries, which MT. Reynolds visits every time his business permits him to go to south ern California.
 In my apiaries, which arc cared for by my son, said he, there are 40 stand of bees. The honey season lasts from April to July. Last season my bees yielded 40, GOO pounds of honey which sells in that country in bulk lots at 1 cents q pound. Two of the hives gave over 500 pounds each For fen years 1 have been interested ill bees in a small way, and 1 take greater interest in them every year A hive or stand of bees is worth $2 50 In it are inc queen, the drones and the workers, total population of from 10000 to 25, 900 bees.
 This very good sized colony" he continued, resides in hive or wooden box. 1n the hive arc dozen frames I3 by I inches. In these the bees make or deposit the honey, foundation of wax having been first placed i'll each frame by the beekeeper, so that the bees may have something to build upon. The honey is taken out of the frames every other week during the honey season While doing so there is little need of protecting the hands The bees seem to be most inclined to sting one ill the face So, as q precaution the man who is removing the honey from the hives wears q straw hat from the brim of which is hung q silk veil, like they have to do np i'll the Klondike country to ward of the summer mosquitoes.
 The queen is an absolute monarch within her dominions. She is the un- disputed boss of the job An ordinary bee lives during the working season on ly 45 days. Young ones are being hatch ed out all the time A bee goes to work at the tender age of 5 days and hustles like a veteran for 42 days Then it is just naturally all tired out, suppose, for it dies. The queen lives longer, and when a young queen comes into exist ence in the hive she drives tho old queen out. Her loyal subjects follow her i'll her banishment, and that what makes the swarm.
 In southern California the bees make water white honey when the black sage is in blossom, When the white sage is towering, the honey has an amber tinge. h winter the bees make no hon. ey Seventy five carloads of the article are shipped out of San Diego county in good years. "-Denyer Republican,

Shall Women Have the Right
 Of Suffrage?

This important subject will be de- bnted by six young gentlemen of the Pine Blnif Oratoricai Association next TueAday night, November lGth, at the court house. The affirmative will be represented by Messrs. Reno Altheimer, II. Kemp Toney and Alex 8owcll, while Messrs. o. K. Womaek, John Hill and Ben J Altheimer will again represent the negative. The subject is the same as it was last Tuesday night, but on account of it's depth and importance, the a 'so- eiatIon hns decided to repeat it. This was only done in response to numerous requests made by promi- nent citizens, who were unable to be present last Tuesday This subject Is of momentous importance in this country, and the young orators in deed do themselves proud by the masterly manner in which they han de it.
 Mrs. NJ. l.. Bell, Mrs. F. NJ. Hud- son. Prof. o. j Wade and Mayor D. C. Bell have already consented to act as judges.

A SW1NnLED STATESMAN
Ills Name is Bryan. and How He
 Was Cheated.

We arc pained tu earn from the Kansas City Times that certain nn- .rcgenernted residents of Wichita. Kansas, have recently done great wrong. It appears that the Hon. William Jennings Bryan delivered speech at the Wichita county fair the other day in pursuance of a contract by which he was to have received nneshali the proceeds
 The gate receipts upon the pension referred to were abont $4,S00 and Mir Rryan received S2,400 as his share. It now appears that with out Mir Bryans Knowledge. and without tue aid or consent of any other nation, an admission fee was also charged at the grandstand. whereby ahont $2.0ao additional was acquired. As Kansas is Pro- hihition state only G,000 bottles of beer were sold on Bryan day at the Wichita fair. The talented Nebras- kan Xas buncped out of his share of the grand stand receipts and also one half of tine beer profits 1t thus appears that instead of receiving $3 400 and one-half of the wet goods revenue for talking m hour, he real ly WIS paid only n beggarly S2.400.
 &hither are we drifting when such outrages as this can be perpetrated? Is honor dead2 Has Kansas no shame course, the mere pittance S2, ,400-lnstead of S1 POO or less as he would prefer-but even that fact offers no excuse for the wickedness of Wichita.
