Hon.,t Medicine, Ysr.u, F.k.,.

President Taft's recent message sug- gesting an amendment 10 the Pure Food and Drugs law in its relation to Prepared Medicines, does not refer to such standard medicines as Foley's Honey and Tar Compound and Foley's Kidney Pills, both of which are true medicines carefully com pounded of ingredients whose medicinal qualities are recognized by the medical profession itself as the best known reme- dial agents for the diseases they are in- tended to counteract. For over three de- cades Foley's Honey and Tar Compound has been standard remedy for coughs, colds and affections of the throat, chest and lungs for children and for grown per. sons, and it retains to-day It's pre- emi- hence above all other preparations of It's kind. Folsy's Kidney Pills are equally effective and meritorious. A. Jacobsen.

SMALL BOY

LAD WAS PLAYING WITH ROMAN
CANDLE WHEN IT EXPLODED IN

Last evening n small lad was firing
Roman candle on Main street. near
Jones corner, when In n spirit OF boy
playfulness he turned the candle up
the street toward boy whom he
knew. the lad being about 100 feet
away from him. but the ball of fire
landed at the lads feet instead OF
him. and some one seeing
what the boy was doing called to him
to stop that at once and point the can.
die up In the air. but as he attempted
to do this, the candle exploded in the
boys hand.
The boy dropped the candle and
placed his hands over his eyes, but
the spectators did not seem to under
stand that the boy was injured untll II
lady who saw the accident ran out
into the street and offered him assist
anGe.
A crowd Immediately gathered. and
"a physician was passing Just ut the
time, and he took the boy into near.
by store where he removed the pow.
der from the lads eyes. and put some
salyc over his face and hands where
they were burned. That the boy was
not badly injured is almost miracle,
for the candle exploded directly before
his eyes.
The boy was taken to his home. and
will be all right in day or so.
