FLIM-FLAMS THE GRocERS
Woman Is Reimbursed for Corned Beef
She Never Rouqht.

One seldom gets something for moth
Ing in this old world Of ours but it is
said that young woman made try
at 1T last Saturday on Water street,
and not only was she successful in
her attempt but she also film TANNED
four of the grocerymen and in a way
that was decidedly ingenious. In the
first place at which she called she
sought out the proprietor and told him
In voice that quavered through her
efforts to hold back the pent-up tears,
that the corned beef which she had
purchased at his store the day before
was spoiled. The groceryman told her
that he was sorry, whereupon she add
ed that she could not afford to lose the
money which she had paid for the
beef and which was 95 cents. AS she
said this she was apparently on the
verge Of tears, and the groceryman,
who is a big, fat fellow and sympa-
thetic withal pitied the woman, and in
the goodness of his heart he pulled out
95 cents from his trouserloons pocket
and gave her the money after which
she left the store.
Sympathy for others in their misfor-
tune is a beautiful thing and the wo-
man in question, having received a
taste of it hankered for more, so she
went up the street and called on an
other groceryman, and to him she told
the story of the spoiled beef He was
also sympathetic but not so much so
as the man on whom she first called,
for while he would not give her 95
cents he was willing to divide her loss
between them, and gave her As cents,
for which she thanked him and went
forth in search Of other victims. The
third place which she visited was not
productive for while the groceryman
did not doubt the truth Of the woman's
tale Of woe he was cautious to the ex-
tent that he asked her how the corned
beef was done up-flat or rolled, to
which she replied that it was fiat. Now
it happens that at that particular store
corned beef is always rolled, so he told
her that she must have got her spoiled
beef somewhere else.
So far as Is known the woman made
but one more call and at this place
met with the same success as was hers
on the first call. None of her victims
have seen her since and it is thought
possible that she may have sought new
fields in which to work her game.

EXPERT PHARMACIST
Gives Advice to People Run Down in
the Spring, or After the Grip, Etc.

The best treatment know Of for
those who are all run down or are
thoroughly exhausted by the grip or
fevers. and cannot seem to recover
their strength. is this:
Get a bottle of that standard blood
purifier, Hoods Sarsaparilla, and a
box (200) Peptiron Pills; take one
teaspoonful Hoods Sarsaparilla before
meals, and two pills after meals.
What are these medicines made Of?
Why, I understand the formula for
Hoods Sarsaparilla is similar to pre-
scriptions that come to us every day
for blood impurities, scrofula, rheuma-
tism and such complaints. for Of course
Hoods expert chemists and pharma-
cists know as much as any Of the regu-
lar profession about various ingredi-
ents indicated in such troubles. And
Peptiron Pills are new combination of
pepsin, iron. mangaese and other blood
tonics and strength builders. Iron Is
great to increase red corpuscles in
the blood and give it health power.
Get the medicines from any druggist.
