ing in and rlpenang the honey. The
ripening Of the honey is a very impor-
tant process. Until it is properly ripen-
ed It Is not fit for use. The bees that
remain in the hive while others are
going to and fro to bring in the nectar
put this thin nectar through a process
which not only ripens IL. but also
thickens it. When that has been done.
other bees put the cappings on the
cells. Honey that is completely sealed
over has the bees guarantee that Il
has been properly ripeuod. OCCASION
ally l have heard Of persons getting
sick on honey and imagining that they
had been poisoned. But In every in
stance that / have investigated It
turned out that a bee tree had been
robbed and the members of the family
had eaten very heartily Of the honey
brought home. The most likely cause
of the sickness was the overeating or
gorging themselves with the honey, al
though il might have been possible that
there was some unripe honey that
caused the sickness.
1t is remarkable the amount Of honey
the bees will produce in a very short
space of time.
A bee is not very large, and the ca
pacity of the honey sac is limited. It
is estimated that bee will bring in at
a single load one twenty thousandths
part of pound. That is. in ordinary
times, twenty thousand bees would
bring in a pound of honey at one visit
to the flowers. 1t is also estimated
that during a heavy flow of honey the
bees viii so heavily load themselves
with the nectar that ten thousand
would bring in a pound from one visit.
As one bee will make a great many
visits to the flowers in a day, and as
there are from fifty thousand to one
hundred thousand bees in a single col
ony, it win be readily seen that very
remarkable work may be done by one
colony and in a few weeks a large
harvest may be gathered.

Why Colds Are Dangerous.

Because you have contracted ordi.
nary colds and recovered from them
without treatment of any kind, do not
for moment imagine hat colds are
not dangerous. Everyone knows that
pneumonia and chronic catarrh have
their origin in common cold Con-
sumption is not caused by cold but
the cold prepares the system for the
reception and development of the
germs that would not otherwise have
found Judgment. 1t is the same with
all infectious diseases. Diphtheria,
scarlet fever, measles and whooping
cough are much more likely to be con-
tracted when the child has cold.
You will see from this that more real
danger turks in a cold than in any
other of the common ailments. The
easiest and quickest way to cure a
cold is to take Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy. The many remarkable cures
effected by this preparation have made
it staple article of trade over a large
part of the world. For sale by all
druggists.

COLLAPSES ON STAGE
AFTER WiFE'S DEATH
Actor Who Bravely Spoke Comic Lines
Through Long Vigil Is Unable to
Stand Strain.

Chicago, Oct 20.-Earl Stirling, a
College theater, playing the part of
Mr.. Mason in Caught In the RAIN
collapsed during the performance of
the first act yesterday afternoon.
Mr. Strings wife, who was in a
critical condition all last week. died
Saturday. Because of the fact no un-
derstudy had been trained Stirling was
forced to enact the comedy role night
after night and successive matinees
with his wife at deaths door. To the
College theater patrons he was the
blithe, gay comedian through the acts
of the play; when the crutain fell he
hurried to the bedside of his wife.
None knew that back of the smiling
face of Mr. Mason a heart was torn
with anguish and anxiety. Stirling
played the part Friday night and then
went to his wife, In his arms she
breathed her last That afternoon he
went through the performance and
again at night without faltering or
wavering, but the strain of the in
tense effort to forget or keep his mind
from thought of his wife was too great,
and he broke down under it yesterday.
Stirling, Albert Morrison and Miss
That's McGrane were on the stage. 1t
was street scene and one of the
amusing comedy situations of the piece.
Suddenly the smiles disappeared from
Strings face, his eyes were filled
with tears, and he covered his face
with his hands. The curtain was rung
down and the comedian placed in the
care of physician. Through the con-
GLIDING acts the part. of Mason was
taken by T. E. MCCLELLAN, stage mana
ger at the College theater

A Valuable Food.

"Sealshipt" Oysters are particularly
rich in food values-nutritious but light
and easily digested. One can eat
heartily of them without discomfort.
They can be prepared in scores of diff
ferent ways, all equally tempting.
They are acceptable as a single course
or as an entire meal. Eaten for lunch,
dinner or supper they are always ap-
petizing and delicious.
To appreciate the real flavor and
piquancy of the oyster it must be fresh
That is one reason for "Sealshipt" SUI
periority. "Sealshipt" Oysters must be
fresh because they are packed in. seal.
ed. alright containers with ice around
the containers. No water touches the
oysters. You get the natural oyster,
whole and perfect.
We sell "Sealshipt" Oysters = you
will find them displayed in white
porcelain case bearing the blue Seal

HURST'S SPEECH AT FREEPORT RALLY
Regarded as One of the Best of Campaign

Cummins, who believe that their party
has come too much under the dom
nance of trusts. Do you believe that
the republican national convention rep
resented the rank and file of the party
when it voted down a resolution favor
ing the election of United States SEN
ators by the people, and when by nine
to one it voted down a resolution ia
voring publicity in campaign contribu-
lions? Do you believe that A. J. Hop
kins would hold his Office a day if it
were left to a vote of the people? He
was supported by but about one-third
of his own party at the recent primar-
les. You remember that four years
ago Mr.. Parker made charges in re-
gard to the character of republican
campaign contributions, and President
Roosevelt wrote. an insulting letter say
ing that Mr.. Parkers charge was an
infamous lie. The people believed the
president on account of the prestige of
his office. But which was right? A
few years later the insurance investi-
CATION showed that hundreds of thous-
ands of dollars belonging to widows
and orphans had been taken out of the
Golfers of the insurance companies A
letter signed by Mr. Roosevelt had
found the light, urging Mr.. Hartman
to secure campaign contributions and
asking him to come to Washington to
consult about the message. Mr.. Har-
riman testified that he had raised
$260,000., In the light of these facts
,, do the people believe that campaign
contributions should be published after
election and not before? The list of
contributions to the democratic cam.
paign fund published the other day
shows that not a single contributor is
connected with trust.
1.-THE Dingley tariff has been in
force for II years and no effort has
been made by the republican party to
acquiesce in the will of the people and
revise it, A cry has come up from the
republican papers for the removal of
the tariff on wood pulp. The publisher
| of the Chicago Tribune testified before
a committee of congress that the in
crease in the price of paper had cost
the Tribune 100000 year. An edi-
torial in the same paper said that the
way to put the paper trust out of bust
ness was to remove the duty on wood
pulp, thus admitting the falsity of the
argument that the foreigner pays the
tax.
This crowd does not show apathy.
There is a large degree of apathy
among the republicans. and believe
that it is due to the fact that they are
not satisfied with the condition of af-
fairs in sheir party. Not one of you
ever thought of Mr.. Taft as a candi.

of the United States selected him to
