SEABOARD AIR LINE RAILWAY TO
FLORIDA. CUBA. SAVANNAH.
CAMDEN, SOUTHERN PINES
AND PINEHURST.

Winter excursion tickets were
placed on sale to resort points on this
line in North and South Carolina,
Georgia and Florida, on October 18th
and will remain on sale during the
season. Exceptionally low rates are
in effect this year to Pinehurst and
Southern Pines, N. c., Camden, S.
c., Savannah, Ca, and all points in
Florida and Cuba. To reach any of
these points, the service Of the Sea-
board Air Line Railway "Capital
City Route, will be found the best
and most attractive. In addition to
the superior service now operated, it
is announced that Cafe cars will be
placed in service on the Washington
Atlanta Line about November 1st,
and on the Florida Lines about jan
uary 1st, 1902. Following this the
Florida & Metropolitan Limited will
be inaugurated about January 18th,
1902, with sumptuous appointments
aud superb equipment, including
dining and club cars, constituting it
beyond doubt, the peer of any train
in the world.
The service of the Seaboard Air
Line Railway to Cuba is most attrac-
the. Its Cafe car service and many
other features present advantages
commencing it to the favorable atten-
ton of all travellers.

Monkeys

"All well-all happy-lots
of fun. That is the regular
report from the monkey cage
Of Barnum's Circus ever since
the keepers began dosing the
monkeys with SCOTS Emul-
sion. Consumption was carry
ing off two thirds of them
every year and the circus had
to buy new ones.
One day a keeper accident
ally broke a bottle of SCOTS
Emulsion near the monkey
cage and the monkeys eagerly
Tapped it up from the floor.
This suggested the idea that it
might do them good. Since
then the monkeys have received
regular doses and the keepers
report very few deaths from
consumption. Of course it's
cheaper to buy SCOTS Emul-
sion than new monkeys-and
that suits the circus men.
Consumption in monkeys
and in man is the same disease.

as he passed in front of one Of the eating

are several in the neighborhood of the
