Castor Oil Cocktail.

"Give me castor oil cocktail" said
the man at the drug store counter
The clerk poured a bottle of sarsapa-
rilla into a glass, dashed a few drops
Of paregoric into it and then poured
In some castor Oil. The man drank it
with a pleasant face and walked out
as If he had drunk soda water instead
Of castor oil. Yes, we have quite a
call for castor Oil cocktails" said the
clerk. "If a mans system is a little
out and he needs a dose of castor oil
the only way to take it is in the cock
tail form. You wouldn't know there
was a drop Of castor Oil in it. If you've
ever taken castor Oil neat you will rec
ognize the value of the cocktail

WHAT IS CATARRH A.?
Hyomei Cures This Common and Dis
agreeable Disease.


Hyomei cures catarrh by the simple
method of breathing it into the air
passages and lungs. It kills the germs
of the catarrhal poison, heals and
soothes the irritated mucous men,
brane, enters the blood with the oxy-
gen and kills the germs present there,
effectually driving this disease from
the system.
If you have any of the following
symptoms, catarrhal germs are at
work somewhere in the mucous mem
brane of the nose, throat, bronchial
tubes or tissues of the lungs.

dryness of the nose nose

Hyomei will cure the disease, de-
stroy activity of all germ life in the
respiratory organs, enrich and purify
the blood with additional ozone, and
after few days use of this treatment
the majority of these symptoms will
have disappeared. In a few weeks
the cure will be complete.
Catarrh or catarrhal colds cannot
exist when Hyomei is used. This
is a strong statement, but Anders
Jacobsen emphasizes it by agreeing to
refund your money if Hyomei does
not cure.

Farm Chunk.
Breeder Gazette.


This is the time OF year when the
greatest demand exists in the great
markets for agricultural horses. Such
animals otherwise known as farm
chunks sell at prices ranging from 500
to SII5 or SIPS on the top. They are
bought by farmers outright or by
dealers who run them out into the
country. where there is shortage OF
team power and sold at public or prl-
vate sale at a profit. They are not
large. Most OF them are not really
large enough for profitable farm use.
Mares are generally preferred to geld
ings and bring the best prices, the IN
tention OF the purchasers being to
breed them. Nevertheless. many
small mean geldings are each spring
bought for farm consumption. We
cannot see where there is any money
to be made using geldings on the farm,
save as preliminary to selling them.
Mares do Just as much work and will
breed at the same time. A gelding re-
turns nothing but the work he does
for his purchase price and the feed put
into him. OF course, the geldings cost
less money, but is there real economy
in buying a thing because it is cheap
when asproht can be made on the ex-
penditure Of a little more money and
none fo7 the purchase of the cheap
article? We know that the wise farm
er is he who buys as heavy mares as
his purse will allow. No farmer
should buy mare weighing less than
400 pounds and 1900 or 1000 pounds
is far better still. 1t does not take
such a great deal Of money to buy a
pair OF 16oo-pound mares. They can
be got for from 5000 to $3.50, perhaps
for as little as $3.50 or S2oo. and sure
" there is more real economy in such
purchanse than in paying $3.50 OF
$500 for a pair Of mares weighing 100
or 1900 pounds each. The added
amount OF work done will make ample
interest and the first ioals will far
more than make up the purchase price.

The following statement has been
made by Commissioner Tacunl in re-

Inspector Brown:
inspector c. L. Brown was sent to
Charleston by me to do some detec-
tive work. He usually has been used
by myself. as we'll as my predecessor
for this kind OF work when needed.
While in Charleston performing these
duties Mr.. S. S. Matthews, dispenser
at Charleston. failed to remit to the
state treasurer. as required by law.
| had adopted rule. which requires
each dispenser who fails 70 remit dur
ing the week to be visited and inspec-
ted and under this rule Mr.. Math
thews' statement, was sent Mr.. Brown.
he being on the ground. The report
OF the settlement shows that on the
18th day OF June Mr.. Brown made
settlement with Mr.. Matthews, and
found him short SI,64S.4o. and recelv-
ed payment OF that amount This re-
port was received at this Office on the
14ttl. The same day Mr.. Brown re-
ported to me verbally his misfortune,
stating that he had some other mon
eys in the lost pocketbook belonging
to the state along with some OF his
own.
TO settle up Mr.. Browns account
we made up SI,S24.S7. Mr.. Brown
paid S24o This amount was made up
by my friends and myself. not a cent
being contributed by any one not con-
nected with the institution, and being
voluntary, no one being asked by me
to contribute.
"The question OF bond did not enter
the matter at all. as l was advised by
the Assistant Attorney General, that
inasmuch as the law did not impose
the duty to collect such money on me
OF the inspector that neither | nor
Brown was liable for a cent OF the
money. But the dispenser was still
liable on his bond. The law provides
that dispensers remit directly to the
state treasurer. His receipt is the
only legal discharge for them.
1T was entirely moral question
with me- I did not propose that the
state should lose anything during my
administration by myself or my ap-
pointeeS.

there has been an, inspector, for him
to collect shortages, authorized by the
