It was an uncommon meeting in Chica?

to declare against the use of intoxicants.
This declaration, of couree, is of the

? scientist whose name 1? not likely to
go down the chutes of time as a great
discoverer has declared that alcohol is a

be a sort of food for the nerves whin the

diet would hardly ?natal ? an army on the

long ago, that he had found a permanent

he established a sanitarium where every

The steaks wero fried In alcohol, and
the bread, before brought to table, was
soaked In liquor that stood at 10O in tho
ehado. The first patient was an old
fellow that had acquired the reputation of
town drunkard. Aa is usual in suoh eases

minded him that his taxes were due and
that he would have to restrain tho natur?
al Impulses of his cow and keep her from
roaming at will In tho streets, bawling
on the public square when the evening
sun was low and at nightfall rubbing
against a corner of the oourthouwe. .
Thus encouraged, the town drunkard
was resolved to lead ft better life. But
one day at dinner he ?aid to his wife:
"I'm afraid I've boon spoiled by the cook?
ing over at that lvoapltal. They had a
way of frying uteak that suited me, and
their broad was out of ?'ght."
That was the extent of his disgust,

MONTEREY, VA., May? 8,-The high?

of smaller fruits Is deplored, but there

and that of the apple orop. Many varie?
ties of apples reach a high standard of

tried stock-raising, say that there are
better profits reoelved, considering the

satisfactory, but lately the nocka have
