KNEW WHAT STONE WAS FOR
New York Policeman Recognized Prep-
aration for Robbery, if the
Visitor Did Not
A stranger in New York was walk-
ing along Broadway in the Thirties
and was on the point of asking a po-
liceman the way to a hotel when the
policeman suddenly swerved from
the middle of tho sidewalk to the
building line, picked up a large
stone wrapped in paper, took it to
ike curb and threw it into one of the
many excavations along the thor-
oughfare. ♦
The visitor was surprised that the
members of the police force went so
far to help make New York a “Spot-
less Town,” but did not mention his
surprise when he asked for and re-
ceived the information he wanted.
The next day he commented on the
incident in the hotel and the house
detective, who was near by, gave this
explanation:
“That stone was probably laid
there by a window thief, who would
time himself to saunter by as a sur-
face ear rattled along or some other
Unusual noise was imminent, so that
the window could he smashed with
less likelihood of being heard and
the culprit would make a quick get-
away after looting the window.”
The crown prince of Japan is be-
ing educated in what is known aa
the peers’ school at Tokyo. The
other day he broke a pane of glass
in one of the classrooms.
Not wishing to pay for it out of
his modest allowance of pocket
money, the youthful scholar re-
paired the damage by pasting a sheet
of stiff paper over the aperture.
When, however, the professor
whqpe room it was, next entered it
he thrust his cane through the make-
shift and, turning to the assembled
class, remarked sententiously, “He
that breaks pays.”
The heir to the Japanese imperial
throne declined to take the hint, and
next morning another-sheet of paper
appeared with the same fate, and so
on the next day, and so on the
fourth.
On the fifth day when the profes-
sor came down there was the paper
as before. Fire flashed from his
eyes, and roaring, “He that breaks
pays!” he drove his cane through the
jwper—and through the pane of
glass behind it that had been put in
by the crown prince, with the help
of other students, and then artfully
pasted over with paper!

PAYS WELL TO STRAIN HONEY
Department of Agriculture Urges All
Bee Keepers to Practice
Conservation.
Do You Believe
In Signs?

BiUOUS CHILDREN
Black-Draught, Long in Successful
Use, Praised by an Arkansas
Mother, “Soon Does
Its Work.”
Bee keepers are urged by Kenneth
Hawkins, bee specialist of the Unit-
ed States department of agriculture,
to produce more honey in the ex-
tracted or strained form, instead <>f
as comb honey. Investigations of
honey produced in Florida show that
too many boe keepers now market
honey in the comb, which lowers the
productive capacity of bees. The en-
ergy required in making 20 pounds
of honey is consumed in making one
pound of beeswax, and in selling
comb honey this beeswax is lost.
Where honey is extracted from the
comb by uncapping ceils and whirl
ing the comb in a centrifugal ma-
chine, the comb is left intact and
can be put back into the hive to be
refilled with honey by the bees, sav-
ing them the labor of building new
comb. Beeswax itself has no food
value and is lost when sold in comb
honey, whereas with modern meth-
ods it can be used again and again
by the bees. The department of ag-
riculture will send any bee keeper
instructions on (hanging cheaply
from the comb to the extracted
honey method.

ed and the surroundings and out buildings

tion and can take care of your needs,

Marmaduke, Ark.—Speaking of
Thedford's Black-Draught, which from
long use in her household has become
regarded as “the family medicine,"
Mrs. Mary E. Hill, of Route 1, this
place, says:
"When the children get bilious, I
give them a couple of good doses, and
when we have sour stomach, headache,
or any liver or stomach trouble, wc
use Black-Draught. It Is an easy laxa-
tive, and soon does the work. I cer-
tainly think It is odo of the best rem-
edies made."
Black-Draught acts on the faded
liver, gently, but positively, and helps
it in Its important function of throw-
ing out waste materials and poisons
from the system.
In thousands of households Black-
Draught Is kept handy for immediate
use In time of need. Prompt treatment
often is half the battle, and will often
prevent slight ills from developing In-
to serious troubles.
Its well-established merit, during
more than 70 years of successful use,
should convince you of the helpful
effects obtainable by taking Black-
Draught for liver and stomach dis-
orders. Get a package today, and
keep it In your house. See that
the package bears the words,

idiots ought to be killed in their in-
