Indlge«tlon Is the ingratitude of a pam 



Eered stomach, and the consequences of it go 

 eyond the stomach. They are found in tor- 

 pidity and enlargement of the liver. In weak- 

 ness and Incompetency of the kidneys. You 

 cannot hope to be well while your blood is 

 thick with dead matter. Cleanse and Invigo-

HONEY and BEESWAX 



niAKKEX <tUOXAXIO]^S. 



The following rules for grading honey were 

 adopted by the North American Bee-Keepers' 

 Association, and, so far as possible, quota- 

 tions are made according to these rules: 



Fancy.— All sections to be well filled; combs 

 straight, of even thickness, and firmly a,t- 

 tached to all four sides; both wood and comb 

 unsoiled by truvel-staln, or otherwise; all the 

 cells sealed except the row of cells next the 

 wood. 



No. 1.— All sections well filled, but combs 

 uneven or crooked, detached at the bottom, 

 or with but few cells unsealed: both wood 

 and comb unsoiled by travel-stain or other- 

 wise. 



)n addition to this the honey Is to be classi- 

 fied according to color, using the terms white, 

 amber and dark. That Is. there will be "fancy 

 white," " No. 1 dark," etc. 



Chicag-o, 111., Dec. 18.— Fancy white. 12® 

 3c.; No. 1, ll(B12c.; fancy amber, 10c. ; No. 1, 

 7S9c.; fancy dark. 8c.; No. 1, 7@8c. E.s- 

 tracted. white, o@7c.; amber, 6(^60.; dark, 

 4H@5c. Beeswax, 26(827c. 



There has been a little more tiade in honey 

 this month, but the sales are below average 

 lor this season of the year. 



Philadelphia, Fa., Dec, 12.— Fancy white 

 comb, i:i-l4c.: No. 1 white. ll-12c.; fancy 

 amber. lO-llc; dark. 8-9c. Extracted, white, 

 6-8 c; amber, 4-5c.; dark, 3-4 c. Beeswax, 26c.

 13c.; No. 1, ll-12e.; fancy amber, Q-lOc: 

 No. 1 dark, 8-9c. Extracted, white, 6-7c. ; 

 dark. 4-5c. 



The receipts of both comb and extracted 

 honey are very large, and prices are some- 

 what lower. We have an ample stock of all 

 styles except paper cartons weighing less 

 than a pound.

 H-loc; No. 1 white, 12-13c. Extracted, 

 white. 6-7c. Beeswax. 22-25c.

 4-5c. Beeswax. 22-24c. 



New crop of honey begins to come forward. 

 The demand is very poor and quotations al- 

 most nominal. Weather Is very warm and 

 the consumption of honey is very small. 

 Plenty of fruit, and hence the appetite is sat- 

 isfied with same In preference. Later on we 

 expect an Improved demand for honey of all 

 kinds.
