Here lies the greatest advantage of
using the improved hive. It is a
pleasure to handle honey that is
stored in sections, and 1t may be re-
moved from the hive at any time. On
the other hand, it is sticky Job to
take the honey from a cap that has
no sections, and this method results
In considerable waste.
SO the beginner will find it best
to start with improved hives. If your
neighbor does not have these, then
begin by buying such hives from a.
dealer, and get your neighbor to put
swaEins of bees into them. The
earlier this is done in the spring the
better.
The colony may not make much sur.
plus honey the first season, although
If it is large one and starts to work
early, it will probably make as much
as any old one. The old saying is:
A swarm of bees in May
Is worth stack of hay;
A swarm Of bees in June
Is worth silver spoon;
A swarm of bees in July
Is not worth a fly

FIVE p. 6. ADVANCE. IN FREIGHT RATES
 TO BE CONSIDERED

Washington, May PA conference between the interstate commerce com mission and representatives of the eastern railroads will be held here, Wednesday,, to consider informally a proposed advance of five percent in freight rates. It has been suggested that the advance jbe uniform through out what is known as eastern territory that part of the country lying east of the Mississippi and north of the Ohio rivers
 Announcement was made recently by President Willard of the Ba1tt- more & Ohio, that application would be made to the commission by the 52 eastern roads for permission to in crease their freight rates five percent Precisely the form the application, if made, may take has not been deter mined. That question probably will be settled at Wednesdays conference.
 If it should be found by. the com mission that there is prirna facie req son for a consideration of the applica- ton, 1t is likely an order for an in quiry may be issued That method would save the railroads the expense of preparing an issuing of new tariffs, an expense that would aggregate near ly a. quarter of a million dollars.
 If the commission should conclude cation, the probability ds that the per ceedings would not be held before next autumn as the commission now has more business than it possibly can dispose of before the summer recess.

BOARD MAY ACCEPT H. s.
 PLANS TONIGHT

Ther0 will be a meeting Of the mem bers of, the Board of Education in the rooms at the; City Hall, this evening and the discussion of the plans for the new High school will be resumed. Architect Rogers is expected to be present at the meeting and it is thought that the matter of the Ioca- ton of the wardrobes may be settled at this evenings meeting.
 This matter of whether the ward robes shall be located in the basem ent of the new building or whether each room shall have @ separate wardrobe, is what is holding up the work on the school.
 The member of the board can't seem to agree on this point, some wanting to have the wardrobes located in the basement of the building and some be- ing willing to accept the architect s plan of having one located at the rear of each room.

SAYS NEURITIS
 IS COMMON
This Painful Condition Slow to Respond to Ordinary
 Remedies, Says Varney

Yesterday was a busy day at the Var-ne-sis headquarters down town. The store was crowded and kept the Var-ne-sis expert busy explaining about the new stomach and rheumatic remedy that has startled New England with the astonishing results obtained. ". A. Varney of Lynn says:s
 'sIt is surprising to see the large number of people suffering from rheu- matic neuritis and arthritis, and be- Heve this condition is especially com mon here. It is due to the same con- ditions that cause the ordinary forms of rheumatism; the muscles are sore and stiff, the arms, shoulders, back and hips are the locations most often involved Usually the condition is better when at rest, but the pain and stiffness is increased when one at tempts to get up or move about; after walking it gradually disappears until one remains in one position again.
 ''The stomach usually is out of or der, due to the ordinary remedies taken for relief or to indigestion, which is SC often a forerunrer of this diseases gas forms. fermentation, bIoating. constipation, headaches, dig ziness. nervousness, and a. tired, run down feeling results. Many suffer from the condition and feel we'll ex- cept for the stiffness and soreness of the muscles and Joints.
 T do not believe in giving the ord1- nary drugs so often given for stomach trouble and r1eumatis1ns The success of my remedy, Var-ne-sis, is due to tfle-fact that it gets the stomach and liver. kidneys and blood in good con- dition, removes the cause, and I have proven this in hundreds of cases where they were unable to eat any thing without distress and deformed by Rheumatism; yes deformed, cases that have been taken from the hos pitaI. and I'll pay the expenses of any business man to prove it. providing he will allow me to publish the results of his Investigation
 You can hardly believe the aston 1shing cures Var-ne-sis has made; it'sI like selling gold dollars for fifty cents. but why not try the acid test; see these people, talk to them face to face and they'll tell you how they fooled away their time and money on ordi- nary remedies and treatments until they had spent hundreds of dollars without relief until they secured my remedy, Var-ne-sis. It's criminal to sufrer another day; go to the Rilzer Drug Store, see the Var-ne-sis expert and begin to know what good red blood means-don't stand for a pain another minute
