PREVENTED A TRAGEDY.-Timely in
formation given Mrs. George Long of
Straitsville, Ohio, prevented dreadful
tragedy and saved two lives. A frightful
cough had long kept her awake every
night. She had tried many remedies and
doctors, but steadily grew worse until
urged to try DR.. Kings New Discovery.
One bottle wholly cured her, and she
writes this marvellous medicine also
cured Mr.. Long of a severe attack OF
Pneumonia. Such cures are positive
proof of the matchless merit of this grand
remedy for curing all throat. chest and
lung troubles. Only SOC and 81. Every
bottle guaranteed 6
Trial bottles free at A. g. Eaton's Drug
Store.

NEVER ATE FOREIGN MEAT.

1t Doesn't Pay to Be Too Sure Until
One Knows All the Facts.
A certain Major Brownjones, who
made it his boast that he never allowed
American OF colonial meat to be served
at his table, recently visited an old
comrade in Liverpool. One night at
dinner a most delicious saddle Of Zap
parently) Welsh mutton appeared, to
which the major did ample justice.
"Ah," he observed, Il wish that my
butcher in London would send me stuff
like that, and yet he deals only in the
best British meat"
"Well," said his friend, las matter
Of fact you have been eating New Zea-
land mutton. But it's only fair to say
that l get it from a friend who is a
large wholesale importer
"By Jove, you don't say so"' ex-
| claimed the guest. 81 wish he'd tell
me where l can get the like in town."
"We'll go and see him tomorrow"
said the host. The visit was duly paid
to the meat monger, who smiled when
he heard the Londoner's eulogy and
explanation.
"Tell me-" he returned after listening
to the epicure's remarks, sin what part
of London you reside, and l dare say /
can give you the address of retail
butcher who will supply you with ex-
actly the same sort of mutton as that
which you like so much" The major
handed him his card.
"Ah," observed the importer, there's

your house. We supply him with all
his meat. Here's his address," he add
ed, handing a slip of paper to the seek

The major read, the major started.

say, cried vengeance. and no wonder
for the address was that of his own

"People buy comb honey" said q
man from the country, believing that
the fact that it is sealed by the honest
little bee precludes the possibility OF
fraud. The fact is that the bees of
many professional honey raisers do
nothing the liyeloag summer but pack
glucose into their hives from an open
barrel that is left standing close by.
The bee will not search fragrant flow
ers the livelong day for Il tritling
amount of pure honey when he can get
glucose. The Eoney men see that there
is plenty of glucose handy. and instead
of one pound of pure honey they aid
the bees in putting ten pounds of glu-
cose on the market.
Human ingenuity has not devised a
way for making and sealing the honey
comb, or the bee would be dispensed
with altogether. In handling the glu-
cose the bees give it honeyish flavor,
and if you complain to the bee man
that it is not as sweet and sticky as it
should be he will tell you that it is the
early crop and that the heavy rains
make 1t thin.
81 know man who keeps so hives
of bees on the roof of his store in the
city, and by hustling up plenty of glu-
cose he gets enough honey out Of the
buzzing slaves to do a wholesale BUST
ness in honey. Why, his bees never
saw a flower and would shy at a hon.
eysuckle if they happened to come near
one. He will not even let the poor
things have recess to get drink of
water, but keeps a pan of fresh water
near the hives for them to drink
