CAT CATCHES FISH.
Draes Them From Water to the Shore
and Then Eats Them.

Orags Them From Water to the Shore
and Then Eats Them.
Hancock, Md.-Not content with the
ordinary yarns that are spun by an
glers, somebody is telling tale about
a cat that goes fishing.
AS everybody knows, the ordinary
cat fears water as much as q tramp
despises it; but, according to the Han
cock man, the cat Of which he talks
and writes wades into the adjacent
creek, adopts a policy OF watchful
waiting for fish to come its way. and
when this happens it grabs the men,
Der Of the tlnny family, Jugs 1t ashore
and then proceeds TO eat ii.
A more imaginative narrator of fish
stories would have embellished the
foregoing yarn with additional details
as to how after getting its prey to the
shore the cat hunted up some brush
and wood, made fire and cooked the
fish before eating it, but the Hancock
man wisely refrains from putting such
a strain upon credulity.

OLD-TIME COLD CURE
DRINK HOT TEA!

Get small package of HaI -:
Breast Tea, or as the German Ms
call it, Hamburger Brust Thee" at M U.
pharmacy. Take a tablespoonful of the
tea, put a cup of boiling water upon
it, pour through a sieve and drink a
teacup full at any time during the
day or before retiring. 1t is the most
effective way to break 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
a cold or the grip. 1t Is inexpensive
and entirely vegetable, therefore safe
and harmless.
