Drs. Shores medicines are made in their
own laboratory of herbs, leaves, roots and
barks, and the fresh green plants are used
thus securing the full potency of the vir-
tues of the medicines which are drawn
from Gods natural laboratory. Drs.

HE DIDN'T WANT ANY TOWN HELP


One OF the most perplexing duties of a
selectman of the town is to dispense aims
to the needy poor persons OF the town.
At times it requires considerable tact
and discrimination to decide betwixt
dead beats" and persons really in need
OF help. A very good story Is told of
managed would be pauper. Dea Seth
Seeley, who held the Office of selectman,
was considered in his day to be one of
the best flnanciers the town of Bethel
had had. Mr. Seeley on one occasion was
called upon by person for bill of gro
ceries to feed his family during dull
times In the hating trade. This person
was good mechanic, earned big wages
In good times and he was one of those
people that never looked out for "wet
day." that is, he did not save In good
times to live on in the dull season. When
he had moneY plenty his family lived, as
the saying goes, on the stop SHELF" and
he also spent his money freely In the
village tavern, all of which Selectman
Seeley was aware of, but he pulls out his
pass book and pencil and said: 'Now,
Mr. - what articles does your family
most needP" The person names: "Flour,
paper of tobacco" "Well, what next?n
"
unwell, and we want gallon of best
molasses." Dea Seeley said: ''Where
IL your molasses Jug to put the molasses
In. ''The person said: II have no mo-
lasses Jug. want the town TO furnish
one" The selectman appeared quite |
surprised to hear that family who had
kept house 80 many years was not the |
owner OF so necessary an article as q |
molasses Jug. he turned and looked the
man In the face and said "Mr ---- don't |
you think you would have been better off |
II you had drank less rum and bought |
yourself a molasses jug?" The peraon |
spanked up and told the good deacon |
that he could 70 to pretty hot place,
and take his groceries with him. He /
thought he could get along without town |
help while longer. (Any one that ever
knew Dea Seth Seeley would know that |
when he left his caller IL was with a
broad smile on his facet.
