 Daly-Of what value is half dol lar dated 1892?
 A. There is no premium>on the half dollar dated 1882 unless it has not been circulated; that is, it must be in the condition it was when it dropped from the coining press. If l 1t is in such condition and has large letters in the legend 1t is worth 75 cents, if small letters 1t Is worth 55 cents; otherwise it is only worth 50 cents.

Rub intol the scalp five or ten minutes and N then wash out with clean water. Proud, independent. talkative. versa tile. fitted for large, responsibilities.

Sulphur burned in , a room with closed doors will rid it of most pests. Avoid inhaling the fumes, which are poisonous.
