Healthfulness of Honey.
'Honey, one of the most nutritious
and delicate of foods, should be eaten
more than it. is,” said a cookimc ex
pert. “Bought in the comb, it is
bound to be unadulterated, and this
mire honey will keep its friends free
from sore throat and bronchical trou
bl< s. I have not had a sore throat
since six years ago I took to eating
honey. My doctor teilo me he often
recommends honey, with excellent re
sults. for diseases of the throat. Hon
ev is exc.llent to use instead of sugar
for sweetening cakes. It gives the
cakes a most delightful flavor. It is
also excellent in place of butter on
hot biscuits, on toast and on buck
wheat cakes. I know a number of
women who use honey as a cosmetic.
They apply it to the skin, rub it in
well, then wash it off with hot water.
The result is a finer texteured com
plexion, glowing color, a young fresh
l(¥)k.”

Hats are of all sizes, from the small’
noin ted toque to the largest “picture”
hat. often covered with nodding
plumes, or else those entirely un
curled. which is one of the season’s
fancies. Ostrich feathers are in great"
:;r demand than ever before, and to
bo in first-class style they must be
long and broad. As everybody, how
ever, cannot afford a broad plume, cir
dels of short feathers are used around
crowns, and in clusters, but thev are
very far fro u conveying tin* air <>f
distinction belonging to the long,
sweeping plume. They are often in
sharp contrast to the hat. as on black

millinery, and the former have plain

Grapes
are as popular as they were a few
ordinary mixed goods. The continued
popularity of plain broadcloth mav he

The Circular Skirt
has not been a success for walking,
therefore the new skirts are plaited
or gored, and are trimmed with braid
or folds of the material, finished by
handsome buttons. Many new suits
are of ‘ sh dow plaids,” with short
jackets, and in some cases quite long

jacket is a discretionary affair.
The loose tourist coat is of plaids

Editor Ledger:—In a previous ar
ticle it was explained how the cattle
ticks restricted the market for the
cattle produced in this Slat'*. But
in recent years these parasites have
| had even a more serious effect and
i one that is more generally fdt.
j Before the operation of the stock
j law all our cattle were oxnosed to
ticks from the time of birth and all
•acquired in this way a natural pro
j lection against Texas f ver. But af
ter the passage of the stock law con-
I ditions were greatly changed. The
cattle were all kept up. The ticks
1 disappeared from some plantations
j and the cattle raised on these nlaces
| did not acquire the natural protection
| against. Texas fever. On other plan
I tations th • ticks continued to thrive
'ind tin' cattle became proof against
.'lif' disease, as under the old condl
j lions.
So that today we have so mo places
j infested with ticks and others that
| are '-ntirelv free from the parasite.
When a cow is taken from a tick-
free place to one where ticks exist
•‘"he develops Texas fever <uid usually
dies, if a town-raised cow is sent out
j to pisture on such a plantation the
j same thing usually happens, because
j town-raised cows do not have an op-
| nortunitv to acquire immunity to the
i disease. If a cow is taken from one
I of the tickdnfest d places to one of
| tlio tick free places, the cattle raised
j on tin* latter place take the disease
] and most of them die.
In this way enormous losses are
j sustained bv cattle owners from tills
one disease. The situation also in-
iterferes with the local trade in cattle,
fine may desire to buy a certain anl-
ma! from a neighbor but cannot do so
with safety because bis plantation is
j infested with ticks and the animal in
| question has been raised on a tick-
I free place, or his own cattle may not

and region; no use to try for the other
tenth. The proportion of men who
won’t take good advice, and use the
least gallons paint, is about one in ten
among even owners of houses and
stores and shops and barns and fences.
One man in ten will buy a gold
brick- or green goods, if he has the
money and gets a good chance.
Devoe at $1.75 a gallon is better
than gold; adulterated and short-
measure vaults are green goods and
gold bricks.
Devoe saves half, more or less, of
th< labor and wages of painting; it is
all paint; full strength and full meas
ure. There is no other such oaint
within ten per c°nt. Ten per cent, of
labor and paint is worth saving: and
ten cents is the least. There are
scores of paints that throw-away half

There is onlv one wav out of the
