McKinney Market Report
DeWitt is the Name.
When you go to buy Witch Ha-
zel salve look for the name De-
Witt on every box. The pure,
unadulterated Witch Hazel is us-
ed in making DeWitt's Witch Ha-
zel salve, which is the best salve
in the world for cuts, burns,
bruises, boils, eczema and piles.
The popularity of DeWitt's
Witch Hazel Salve, due to
its many cures, has caused nu-
merous worthless counterfeits to
be placed on the market. The
genuine bears the name of E. C.
DeW itt & Co., Chicago. Sold by
City Drug Store.

■loqnenc* That Qttrlled a Riot In a
Military Hospital.
In tbe "Memories of a Hospital Ma-
tron" a writer iu the Atlantic Monthly,
who was head of a Confederate hos-
pital during the war, relates this ex-
citing incident;
"Our steward, a meek little man,
came to me one day. pale with fright,
and said that the convalescents had
stormed the bakery, taken out the half
cooked hread and scattered it about
the yard, beaten tbe baker and threat-
ened to hang the steward. I hurried
to the scene to throw myself Into the
breach before tbe surgeon should ar-
rive with the guard and arrest the of-
fenders. I found tbe new bakery lev-
eled to tbe ground and 200 excited
men clamoring for the bread which,
they declared, the steward withheld
from them from meanness or stole for
his own beneQt.
M 'And what do you say of tbe ma-
tron?' I asked, rushing among them.
'Do you think that she, through whose
bands tbe bread must pass. Is a party
to the theft? Do you accuse me, who
have nursed you through months of
Illness, making you chicken soup when
we had not seen a chicken for a year,
forcing an old breastbone to do duty
for months for those unreasonable fel-
lows who wanted to see the chicken;
me. who gave you a greater variety In
peas than was ever known before and
who lately stewed your rats when the
cook refused to touch them? And this
Is your gratitude! You tear down uiy
bakehouse, beat my baker and want
to bang my steward!'
"To my surprise the angry men
laughed aud cheered. A few da>a later
there came to me a 'committee* of
two sheepish looking fellows to ask
my acceptance of a ring. Each of tbe
poor men had subscribed something
from bis pittance, and their old ene-
my, tbe steward, had been sent to town
to make tbe purchase. Accompanying
tbe ring was a bit of dirty paper on
which was written, 'For our chief ma-
tron, In honor of her brave conduct on
tbe day of tbe bread riot.' "
IttxEGINNlNG now, we will close out at Cost our entire
is) stock of John Deere plows and extra points, RidinK
and Walking Cultivators, Stalk Cutters, Corn and Cotton
Planters, Combined Disc Harrows and Drills, Leather Col-
lars, Backhands, Bridies, Etc. We also offer at loss than
Cost, four 3X inch Broad tire Mitchell Wagons, with 14
foot extra deep beds, and two single disc plows.
We Retire Prom Business at the Close of Year.

Of Justices and Constable* of
Collin County
Excellent Address Delivered.
Watermelon Feast In-
dulged In
Big
The second meeting of the Jus-
tices of Peace and Constables As-
sociation of Collin county was
held Tuesday afternoon in Jus-
tice T. C. Andrews' office, with
T. J. Berryman of Piano, presi-
dent, and R. J. Osburn of Melis-
sa, secretary.
There was a good attendance of
the officers and the meeting was
both pleasant and profitable. A
number of good a Idtesses were
delivered by County Attorney R.
C. Merritt, Assistant County At-
torney L. J. Truett, T. J. Berry-
man of Piano, John Beckham of
Blue Ridge, G. F. Dixon, R. J.
Osburn, John S. McKinney, T.
C. Andrews and Attorney A. S.
Dickerson.
The different phases of work
of justices and constables were
discussed.
The meeting concluded with a
enerai experience meeting and a
ig watermelon feast, tendered
the officers by County Attorney
R. C. Merritt.
The next meeting will be held
first Monday in September.
E
THE COOKBOOK.
, To prevent eggs from cracking when
they are boiling, place a pin in the
saucepan.
If you get too much snlt In tbe gravy,
a pinch of brown sugar will remedy the
saltness without hurting the gravy In
the least.
When onions are of too strong flavor
to be pleasant for sauce, boll a turnip
with them, but remove it before using
the onions.
Never fry more than six oysters at
once unless you have a very large ket-
tle of fat. If more are cooked, they will
soak grease and take a long time to
brown.
Don't forget that mincemeat Is a
great deal better to be made a week or
ten days before it is to be used. The
spices aud cider, etc., have thus time to
percolate the apple and meat.
Peanut salad is an excellent accom
panlinent for roast duck. Soak a cupful
of peanut meats in olive oil, drain and
mix lightly with two cupfuis of finely
cut celery and a dozen pitted olives.
Serve with mayonnaise dressing on let-
tuce leaves.

"We have wisely taken to wearing
sandals," says a Philadelphia physi-
cian. "I hope that before long we will
learn tbe advantage of the wooden
shoe, or sabot. Do you know that a
great many diseases are due to leather
shoes, due to the wearing all day long
of tight leather that is often, in bad
weather, water soaked? And do you
know that by the wearing of wooden
shoes, which keep the feet dry and
which do not 'draw,' all those diseases
might be avoided? I have several
pairs of sabots, and so have my wife
and children. They cost about 30
cents a pair and keep the feet dry,
without cramping them or making
them unhealthily tender. I believe that
the wisest thing Americans could do
would be to take up the sandal and
the nabot, discarding altogether tbe
shoe ot leather."
