properly, and the secretions were in
an awful state. 1 never had anything
pain me so. Doan's Kidney Pills were

NO MEDICINE HAS
HELPED ME- like
DRECO, SHE SAYS

s. Carolina Farmers S Wife Was |
Weak and Greatly Run Down.
Herb Medicine The Only One to
Show Results. .-.--..---
1'No medicine has helped me like
Dreco," declares Mrs. w. S. Sharpe,
wife of the we'll known Blythewood3
Farmer, in signed statemnet. Con
stipation caused me the greatest dis
tress and also suffered from stomach
disorder, pains in the back and limbs.
l was very weak and even short walk
tired me down. Dreco has increased
my strength so much! [ was sur
prised recently at the distance can
now walk without being the least bit
tired.
"I've tried most all the popular ad-
vertised medicines but none has done
me the good like Dreco. l am buying
three more bottles today"
In order to enjoy living, eating and
sleeping to the utmost it is necessary
| that all the human machine should be
always in first class running order
Just let one Of the vital organs get
the least bit out Of kilter and the eff
feet is soon felt throughout the body
Tired, rundown, istless people neeo
| a good, reliable lnvlgOrant, and BOD!
reconstructant to set them on the roat
to perfect, robust health. Just such
medicine as Dreco is what hundreds
of men and women Of this section ar
praising every day in signed inter
. views and testimonials.
: After everything else fails there j
still hope that Drece, the peer of al
natural herb medicines, will do for tn
tired, rundown system, just what i
required to bring back the bloom o
. life and health once more.
Dreco contains no mineral acids 0
dangerous metallic salts. 1t is mad
up purely from roots, herbs, bark
and berries known for their nature
medicinal value. s<'
Dreco is sold at best drug stores an
pharmacists almost everywhere and
particularly recommended in Lumber
ton by all good druggists.

Eighth ward, has great respect for the
powers OF the government under the

10000 BEES Sting
UP JERSEY TOWN
Swarm on Montclair, De-
throning Queen and

EVEN TRAFFIC COP
HAS TO BEAT IT"

MONTCLAIR. N. J.. Aug IA swarm
Of bees drifted placldly into the centre
OF this town yesterday and had the
place completely to themselves until w.
Z. Sigler, a bee man, was called and
hlved them. Il Is believed the insects
came from a deserted bee farm on Up
per Mountain avenue.
They came droning down Glenrldge
avenue while the populace fed before
their advances. In front Of Stammel-
mans newsstand the bees hesitated. cir
cled and clustered for a few moments
as II about 10 swarm. then changed
their minds and proceeded along Glen
ridge avenue TO Bloomfield avenue, the
business centre OF the community.
Motorists whlzzed through the swarm
with heads bowed as though facing
| blizzard. Pedestrians scuttled into IN
| Red Cross headquarters for shelter
Traffic Patrolman James Lennon, hi
eye on a pre-occupied motorlst, he'll
| up a majestic hand, only 10 hgul
down with undignifed haste and thrus
finger into his mouth.
Traffic was temporarily at a stand
still and Patrolman Lennon thought 4
permissible under the circumstances e
leave his post 10 the bees. He sought
Town Forester Huttenlock as a natu-
ralist OF general attainments and prob
ably a bee expert. From a safe dis
tance PatrOlman Lennon and Town For
ester Huttenlock contemplated the bees
while the refugees shouted advice
from Red Cross headquarters.
Some advocated chl0r0f0rming the
bees, some wanted the two town OH
cials 20 go down 90 the corner and
commander a barrel Of sugar, which
should be placed a safe distance from
Red Cross . headquarters and sugar
trail laid 20 where the indecisive bees
were lowering.
The bees suddenly decided 10 swarm
and picked out the limb OF a tree over
hanging the entrance TO the Red Cross
ONCE as a suitable spot. Presently a
great black cluster Of them barred the
fugltives' exit.
At this point Mr. Ssler happened
along and vetoed all the plans sug-
gested. Wrapping his head In a gauze
