sure Cure for sea sickness.


You never can tell how the Atlantic
will treat you, for its ways are fem
ininely capricious; so the woman who
fears her spring trip across the
pond may be stormy should be joyful
over the tidings that a matron in
town has discovered a "sure cure for
sea sickness" The words are quoted
because Of sad knowledge of the use
lessness of hundreds of such much
"touted" cures before. However, this
newest benefactor says that if you
bind "a hot cloth tightly about your
temples, changing it every couple OF
minutes, and continue that treatment
for half an hour and then lie down all
danger of the malady is over. A null
titude will arise to call that woman
blessed II it turns out that her cure
will do what she says.

Butchers Frozen Out.

Butchers Frozen Out.
One of the unusual results of the
present prevailing high prices Of
meats, SO far as Greater New York is
concerned, is the large number OF re-
tail butchers that have gone out Of
business this spring. Most people
seem to think that the butchers are
making money hand over fist, but
as matter Of fact, when they have
to pay 16 cents a pound for meat that
they could get this time last year for
10 cents it is a good deal Of pull
for them to keep customers contented.
There has not been time in the his
tory Of the meat trade in New York
when SO many butchers have gone out
Of business as this spring.
