Discovered by a Woman.

Another great discovery has been made,
and that too, by lady in this country. obs
ease fastened its clutches upon her and for
seven years she withstood its severest tests,
but her vital organs were undermined and
death seemed imminent. For three months
she coughed necessarily, and could not sleep.
She finally discovered a way to recovery, by
purchasing of us bottle of DR.. Kings New
Discovery for Consumption, and was so much
relieved on taking first dose, that she slept all
night; and with two bottles, has been alb
solutely cured. Her name is Mrs. Luther
Lutz. Thus writes w. c. Hamnick s. Co.,
Of Shelby, N. c. Trial bottles free at A.
Wasleys Drug Store. Regular size soc and
sI.oo. Everybottle guaranteed.

The pnr1s seems Doomed.

Coverack, Cornwall, June 10.-The
position of the American line steamer
Paris, which is on the rocks off the
Manacles, where she grounded May 21,
is more critical. A heavy easterly
swell has broken the cables connecting
with the steading anchors and the
steamer has been buffeted severely
and much strained. The thrush of wa
ter into her has increased. There ara
now 20 feet of water in her fore and
aft, which has extinguished the fres
in the engine rooms. 1t is now thought
that the chances of relocating the Paris
are slim.

Give the children a Drink

called Grain-O. 1t is delicious, appetizingi
nourishing food drink to take the place Of
Coffee. Sold by all grocers and liked by all
who have used it because when properly pre-
pared it tastes like the finest coffee but is free
from all its injurious properties. Grain-O aids
digestion and strengthens the nerves. 1t is
not a stimulant but health builder, and chill
dren, as well as adults, can drink it with great
benefit, Costs about as much as coffee

be termed flower islands, for large
part of their surface is given up to
the cultivation of flowers, and the
great majority of the people spend
their lives in attending to the plants
from which all the wealth of the is
lands is drawn. In st. Mary's alone
nearly a quarter of the cultivated area
Of the island is devoted to flowers. In
the month of February 1922 tons Of
flowers were exported from this one
island. About 200 boxes go to the ton,
and as each box contains from three
to twelve spikes of flowers, it is easy
to see that the number OF flowers sent
out from the island was not trifiing.

A farmer residing near MiddletOWn
noticed a remarkable falling off in the
production of eggs at his hennery,
which he was unable to account for
He concluded that an egg thief was at
work, and established a strict watch.
The eggs continued to disappear, and
no clue to the thief was obtained until
day or two ago, while working near
the hennery, the farmer came across
large blacksnake which he quickly
despatched. AS the snake lay on the
ground the farmer noticed a lump in
the reptiles circumference, and with
his knife cut from the snakes stom-
ach a large china egg. 1t is argued
that the snakes appetite for eggs in
creased at a more rapid rate than the
yield of the 'hennery, and that it re-
sorted to the china eggs in the ab-
sence of the genuine article.-New
