four hours, during the day, until quite re- 

 covered. 



If much noise in the ear continues, take 

 No. 14 night and morning. An occasional 

 dose of No. 11 will do much to prevent the 

 complications above mentioned. 



I am certain the use of the remedies con- 

 tained in the "Bee Journal " Remedy Case 

 may save hundreds of dollars' expense to 

 many a household.

A Bee-Meeting Explanation. 



Some are asking me about the half- 

 fare rate, and wishing to come to the 

 convention and remain here, expecting 

 to get half-rates to the bee-meeting. I 

 will say that the railroads will not give 

 a half-rate on account of the bee-meet- 

 ing — it is for the regular Christmas holi- 

 day excursions that half-rates are usually 

 given, and our railroads here always 

 give such rates at Christmas time. 



But if you wish to take advantage of 

 the half-rate and then remain here, your 

 only chance is to buy an excursion ticket 

 to San Antonio, and sell your ticket to 

 the brokers for what you can get. Other- 

 wise you would have to pay full fare. 

 San Antonio is 90 miles north of Bee- 

 ville. Jennie Atchley. 



The South for Work and 



Mrs. Atchley : — I have become very 

 much interested in your "Sunny South- 

 land" department in the "American Bee 

 Journal." As I am thinking of going 

 South in the near future, I wish to ask 

 your opinion of the advisability of such 

 as I to come to that country. 



I am a single man — an engineer and 

 machinest by trade — and at present I am 

 out of employment, which is the case 

 with thousands of others in this country. 

 I also have some knowledge of the bee- 

 business, having kept bees for a number 

 of years on a small scale, and never 

 allow anything to go unread on the sub- 

 ject of bees, that comes under my notice. 



What I would like to do is to go to a 

 country where the expense and risk in 

 wintering is done away with, as I find 

 that is the greatest drawback in keeping 

 bees in this part of the country. Do you 

 think it advisable for me to go to Texas 

 expecting to find work in my line of 

 business, with the object in view of some
