But there is an old saying that where there is a demand for a thing it will be supplied. And that is specially true of olive oil.

Olive oil is rapidly displacing cod-liver oil in cases where it is essential to increase the weight of a person.

And in cases of constipation, it is also a valuable remedy, acting as a natural lubricant when taken internally. It has been found, too, that children that are bathed with olive oil develop more rapidly and maintain a higher standard of health than those that are deprived of such nourishment; for it must be borne in mind that oil rubbed into the skin is even more nourishing than are some foods taken into the stomach. May's olive oil is the virgin oil of the olive, and its ta5te is so delicious that it is really good enough to drink. IT RAYS TO GET IT AT MAY'S Half Price.

Dolan, who had been attending a wedding ceremony in a house in Almond alley, near Foster street, had been selected as the one that should go to a confectionery store to purchase some cake, as the supply of pastry had been consumed. Being In a nurry on nis return, ne started across the street at a rapid COUPLE Oil HUNT 50 feet and the pas3engc-rs were either mown to pieces, consumed by nr? or rescued In an Injured condition. According to trainmen of the freight the explosion of the powder was cau by the concussion of the passenger train, which was slowing down for Sandford. Another theory was that the gas escp- tng from an oil pipe line entered the paw- der car standing by the pipe, and that a spark from the passenger locomotive ienited the gas.

Besides the passenger train eight freight cars wre blown to pieces by the explosion. Huge masses of iron were tound hundreds of feet from the track. The tank of the passenger locomotive was hurled 100 The wrecked train and eight freight cars were consumed by fire, which broke out in the wreckage. The other cars were pulled out of danger.

The entire passenger train was blown from the tracks and crushed to the earth, a tangled mass of wood and steel, bneath which lay 40 human beings.

Fire broke out in the wreckage and before the eyes of citizens and rescuers, who rushed from their homes, many burned to d-'-ath. Aid could not be rendered on account of the flames. Cries of the inlured and the crackling cf fierce flames greeted the ears of the rescuers who worked frantically. but were soon forced back by the terrible beat. One of the first men taken out was I.
