IN MEMORY OF
MRS. CECILIA JOHNSON.

Her life was one of sweet content
And free from doubts and fears;
Everything she did with good intent,
Even in the midst of tears
And while lingering in sorrow and
pain,
Surrounded by friends so dear,
She did not murmur nor even COM
plain.
Although knowing the end was
near.
Her sweet expression from day to
day
Gave evidence of great love,
Showing a faith fixed to stay,
On Him who reigns above.
She served her allotted time below,
Full three score years and ten,
Ever being ready to help or go,
To relieve the needs of men.

To the Housewife.

Madam, if your husband is like
most men he expects you to look
after the health of yourself and
children. Coughs and colds are
the most common of the minor all
ments and are most likely to lead to
serious diseases. A child is much
more likely to contract diphtheria
or scarlet fever when it has cold.
If you will inquire into the merits
of the various remedies that are
recommended for coughs and colds.
you will find that Chamberlain S

and safe to take, which are quail

MILLIONS OF BEES ARE
KILLED. BY SPRAYING

Springfield, Mass, Feb. 26.-Mil-
lions of bees have been killed in
Massachusetts, by the spraying of
fruit trees. according to testimony
offered before the State Committee
on Agriculture by Frank R. Frisbee,
who spoke in favor of bill to pro-
hibit such spraying while the trees
are in blossom. Mr.. Frisbee said
that up-to-date farmers do not
spray their trees now with poison
Gus substances, as the poison kills
the blossoms and reduces the fruit
age of the trees. He held that bees
not killed by the poison were so
weakened that they produced little
honey. He thought the prohibiting
of spraying of trees in spring would
cause no particular hardship.
