brutal frankness of which thorough

The explosion that had put out the
lights was a sneeze, think of it!
And think of the surprise of the
town folk next morning when they
finally screwed up enough courage to
look Que of the window, to see a giant
stretched out the whole len 9Th of the
\ town, with his head in the flower gar
! den at one end of the main street and
his foot in the fountain at the other.
Forty blocks of him, mind you, and So
tightly was he wedged in that no one
could open their front doors or first.
story windows.
Fortunate the Mayor of the Town
was a sensible little man, and it was
he who discovered that the Giant had
but one leg. He haran gued the crowd
from his window, pointing out the fact
that a giant with one leg could do nc
damage. In the same breath he offered
$4,000 gold pieces to the man who
could think of a scheme to rid the
town of him. Just then, the Giant
King wakened up and roared for his
breakfast with such force that the
Mayor was blown upon the roof Hold
ing fast to the chimney he ordered the
people to cook great quantities OF GA
meal and eggs. and soon the Who'll,
populace was busily engaged in push
ing wheelbarrows of food within reach
OF the giant. who seized them in one |
hand and emptied them with a swaj |
low.
To tell the whole of tins Giant story |
would take giant day and book. I'll |
tell you at the end of a week the mat |
ter had grown serious. AS the Mayo,
explained, if something was not done
soon, they y ould be eaten out of house
and home, besides which business on
the main street had como to a stand

OLD-TIME COLD CURE
DRINK HOT TEA!

Get a small package of Hamburg
Breast Tea, or as the German folks
call it, Hamburger Brust Thee" at any
pharmacy. Take tablespoonful of the
tea, put cup of boiling water upon
it, pour through a sieve and drink
teacup full at any time during the
day or before retiring. It is the most
effective way to break a cold and cure
grip, as it opens the pores of the skin,
relieving congestion. Also loosens the
bowels, thus breaking up cold.
Try it the next time you suffer from
cold or the grip. 1t is inexpensive
and entirely vegetable, therefore safe
and harmless.
