I Ask your physician this ques- J
I tion, "What is the one great j
I remedy for consumption?" J
j He will answer, "Cod-liver
* oil." Nine out of ten will
j answer the same way.
Yet when persons have it
consumption they loathe all
1 fatty foods, yet fat is neces,.
sary for their recovery and
they cannot take plain cod-1
liver oil. The plain oil dis- ;
turbs the stomach and takes
i i away the appetite. The dis- i
j; agreeable fishy odor and !
taste make it almost unen- j
t durable. What is to be done ? 1
This question was ans- I
wered when we first made I

n , Nevertheless, Senator McLaurin
;did not express hisdioaest opinions

v j Carolina people coming to Washe

? as to say that the positioi of;
r I Senator Tillman on this issue is
V not endorsed by a majority of the
k people of the State. The expan-;

I other southern States, where oa
j account of the low price of cotton
which has prevailed 'or so many
years* the people are seeking
broader markets for their products.

was practicing dentistry, with her

a wisdom tooth when she got the
instrument hooked about the tonsils.
The little sisters were naturally
alarmed and started to their
j mother, but Rachel took hold of
the buttoner again and pulled with
! sufficient force to break the reI
sisting tissues. Of courso there i
was laceration that wan not pleasunt

Ilero is a good story that Senator
Tillman told George Fred
A'illiams. The Democratic leader
of Massachusetts (-poke in
melancholy resignation about his
fate; which hail, he said, compelled
him to relinquish his respectability
in the minds of peo
pie who form their opinions from
certain newspaper reports.
"Well, Williams," said the re- i
doubtable South Carolina senator, \
who had suffered that way him- \
self, "when 1 was a boy I discov- \
ered that 1 could always tell, while \
walking through an orchard in \ \
midwinter, just which trees bore \ 1
good fruit. There wouldn't be \
any apples on the trees at the season,
of course: but under the best

that only the trees hearing good
apples suffered the attacks of
small bovs with missiles. And in
the same way you will find that
the men whose work is hearing
good fruit attract tlie stings and
arrows of detraction." ? Boston

And as we look upon the great
piles of slanderous arrows lying
at the foot of the McLaurin tree,
we are the more impelled to won
