A Safe Drink.

A Wichita society matron and church
leader while in one of that city's drug
stores noticed an advertisement tell
ing of the superlative qualities OF a
new summer drink. Thinking she
might be benefited by it, she ordered
a glass. The first taste was rather
sharp and hot, and looking up suspi-
ciously she inquired if the drink was
safe.

clerk, why. ] should say il was safe.

the worst of beasts than by torturing

number Of depositors being 10000,
thus representing an average of 800 per

posit That the amount now on deposit
would be double what it is If the limit
of 500 per month and total deposit of
$500 was removed is not doubted by
any one who has had any experience
with the system. The working out of
the plan 30 far has not shown any good
reason for maintaining either limit and
with both removed the system would
doubtless pay its own way besides max.

dreds of thousands OF people, of chronic
catarrh.
Constipation was my chief difficulty
in treating these cases. 1 often felt

to co so, however, first because o:
