sick but we are glad to note his

days on account of the wret con-
dition of the ground. A few are
preparing to plant corn next

We Never Lose Meat.
We, the undersigned, cheerful-
ly testify to the good effects of
using Dr. Burrell’s Preservene.
We have tried the preparation
and found it will cure meat just
as claimed. A 50 cent box, if
used when first salted down after
killing, will preserve 500 lbs. of
meat for at least a year (if not
used in the mean time.) We
know from actual experience that
hot weather has no effect what-
ever on meat cured with the aid
of Preservene. From first to last
it retains the same freshness. No
sign of taint and a marked ab-
sence of the strong, briney taste
so common in summer.
We unhesitatingly reccommend
the use of Preservene as a tried
and sure method of curing pork
or beef in any form.

This is the age of - grafting.
There are big grafts and little
grafts, grafts in business, politics
and religion. A big grafter is a
financier, a little grafter is a
scoundrel. The city without a
graft is like an oasis on the des-
ert. The disease is spreading
until it promises to envelop ev-
ery municipality, village, hamlet
in the United States. If it con-
tinues a new cabinet chair is nec-
essary to be known as the Bureau
of Grafts and Grafters. A com
petent man could easily be found
to fill the chair.—Taylor Demo-
