the system, lowers the vitality, and 

 decreases the power of resistance 

 ap^ainst colds and chills. Many peo- 

 ple are feeling weali and shivery 

 just now. They complain of cold 

 hands and feet. Their blood doesn't 

 circulate properly ; the raw, bleak 

 air seems to go right through them. 

 Others feel worn out, and lacl; vigor. 

 They are bilious, nervous, have 

 backaches, headaches, and a pale, 

 sallow complexion. All these symp- 

 toms indicate that the liver and 

 kidneys are out of order. Feeble 

 circulation of the blood shows that 

 the system is in a very low condi- 

 tion. People who feel like this are 

 facing some dangers they little sus- 

 pect. 



LOOK OUT 



for pneumonia, influenza, or some other 

 dangerous complaint when you are in 

 this state ! 



If you have any of these symptoms, 

 and are not feeling as well as you ought 

 to feel, do not wait until you are laid 

 up with a serious illness. Act at once. 

 Take something that will build up the 

 system, put the blood in healthful 

 motion, and act on the liver and kidneys. 

 Prevention Is better than cure. 



There is only one way to get well. 

 There is only one remedy that can 

 make you well. The remedy you need 

 is Warner's Safe Cure which is recom- 

 mended and prescribed by physicians 

 throughout the world. This great 

 remedy contains the vital principle es- 

 sential to the maintenance of health 

 and strength. It increases the muscu- 

 lar energy, fortifies the system and 

 builds up every part of the body. It 

 has never been equaled as a cure for 

 liver and kidney complaint, bladder 

 trouble or Bright's disease. It is the 

 great standard remedy, the best remedy, 

 the most reliable remedy known to 

 medical science. Every one who has 

 ever tried it, believes in it. 



If your health needs attention, do 

 not experiment with inferior remedies. 

 It is cheaper and wiserto take a remedy 

 that has earned a world-wide reputa- 

 tion, which has stood the test of years, 

 and has proved, in millions of cases, 

 that it can always be depended upon to 

 relieve and cure.

Question;) -Box^

The Best Siir|>lug Arrangement. 



Query 5.— What do you thinkthe best sur- 

 plus arrangement— wide frames, or what ?— 

 Ga. 



Prof. A. J. Cook— I like the T super. 

 Mrs. L. Harrison — One-pound sections. 



Dr. C. C. Miller — T supers suit me the 

 best of all I've tried. 



Dr. J. P. H. Brown — Top storing in 

 section cases or holders. 



W. R. Graham — I prefer sections or 

 half-depth shallow frames. 



H. D. Cutting — I have used the T 

 super with the best results. 



R. L. Taylor^Wide frames, if cor- 

 rectly made. Next to that is the Hed- 

 don case. 



J. M. Hambaugh — Were I a comb- 

 honey specialist, I think I would use the 

 Miller T super. 



C. H. Dibberii — I have a method of my 

 own that I prefer to either wide frames 

 or the tin T super. 



P. H. Elwood — I have used wide 

 frames and other styles, and do not find 

 very much difference. 



G. M. Doolittle — I use wide frames, 

 and enjoy them much more than any 

 " or what " ever invented. 



E. Prance — I use a slatted super hold- 

 ing sections enough to cover the frames. 

 Set it on over the brood-nest. 



Emerson T. Abbott — A super with 

 pattern-slats in the bottom, with fol- 

 lowers and wedges at the side and end. 



W. G. Larrabee — I use a slatted bot- 

 tom super that holds 16 pounds, two to 

 cover the top of the hive, which I like 

 best. 



Jas. A. Stone— 4^x4: J^x2-inch sec- 

 tions, in section-cases, on wood strips 

 cut the shape of the bottoms of the sec- 

 tions. 



Allen Pringle — I presume you mean 

 for sections. If so, then my answer is, I 

 have never seen anything yet that suited 

 me as well as the wide frames. 



J. A. Green — Section-holders. These 

 are wide frames for one tier of sections 

 with separators, but no top-bar, fitting 

 closely into an outer case, with bee- 

 space at the top. 



G. W. Demaree — I have tried almost 

 everything, and I like the T cases best 

 of all. The " wide frame" is the worst 

 of all the sticky traps I have thrown 

 away, or met with. 



J. E. Pond — I use the wide frame, and 

 so fir have found it satisfactory. Sev- 

 eral kinds of surplus arrangements are 

 used, but I have so far " stuck to " the 

 old plan of wide frames. 



B. Taylor — T supers with my slotted 

 separators make the finest finished sec- 

 tions of anything I have used. I shall 

 try single-tier wide frames without any 

 case in connection with the new separa- 

 tors next season, and report. 



Eugene Seeor — If you mean by wide 

 frames some such arrangement as the 

 new Heddon super, that is all right. If 

 you mean the old Root idea of sections 



in wide frames, I don't like them. The 

 new wide-frame section-holder is good. 

 Also the T super. 



Rev. M. Mahin — I have found wide 

 frames pretty good, and yet after hav- 

 ing used a small number of them at sev- 

 eral times, I have discarded them, and I 

 can hardly tell why. What I am using 

 cow is a little like the Heddon case, if I 

 know what that is.
