tie and nothing entirely germane to
the question, remarks writer in AID.

few days ago there was a newspaper
item concerning the presence of bees
about mash from a wrecked bootleg

bees deserted the flowers of the local

his town and bought quart OF red
whisky, "the kind we used to get"
being fortunate in getting one Of two
quarts the druggist had. The latter
asserted he was going to keep the sec

The buyer stole away from the drug

sion No one but himself should ever
taste a drop of the precious liquid.

Rev. B. M. Bridges
Gives Facts in
His Case

IT is doubtful il there has ever been
medicine endorsed by so many minis
tiers of the Gospel as has Tanlac. In
deed, there is scarcely a faith, creed
or denomination in all the land in
which one, or more, of the clergymen
has not publicly expressed their in
debtedness to the Premier Preparation
for the benefits they have derived from
its use.
One of the latest to speak out in
this connection is Rev. b. NJ Bridges,
a widely known and beloved Baptist
preacher residing at MOoresborO, N.
c., whose statement follows:
"Tanlac has given me a good appe-
my strength in such a gratifying way
that | am glad to recommend it to any
one who is in n rundown condition,
For ten years past | have had such
a severe case of Indigestion that
could not find anything TO eat that
agreed with me. Finally | became
very nervous and could get but very
little sleep or rest.
at seems that I took nearly every
thing trying to get myself right but
nothing helped me until I ran across
TanlaC. My nerves are so much better
now that my sleep is sound and re.
freshing. I enjoy my meals and have
also gained weight. l can say from
experience that Tanlac is a splendid
medicine and tonic, for it has built
me up wonderfully

floor of the refined boarding house for

there was no fire escape. Thoroughly
scared, she opened her window and
screamed Justify for help.
A crowd had gathered below. Fire
apparatus came, and the work of
reScuing went on, Still no one noticed
the girl on the third floor. For five
minutes she stood there, now and then
crying out, but her voice was drowned
in the shouts of the firemen and cries

the crowd she caught the CLEAN of the

and continued to cry until the smoke
got the best of her, and she sank in a
little heap by the window. She was
but dimly conscious of pair of strong

them as they reached the ground, and
