system. The Land company was not satisfied with the progress being made on the sewer work and the engineers are making plans for pushing the work more rapidly.

Along with our reputation for a cosmopolitan population we are gaining also a fame for the most motley collection of criminals that arrives at the county jail. One of the men sent down was picked up Sunday evening from under a building in South Washington street. He had lain on the ice in a drunken stupor. Had Chief Martin not heard the labored breathing the man would undoubtedly have frozen by morning.

The dog's life was laid bare from the day of its birth, and Hormacinski's title to the canine was so thoroughly established that the court issued a guarantee policy on the spot. Incidentally the evidence showed that the dog had merely followed Szozowskl and he brought it home before the warrant was issued. He. was discharged with a warning to keep clear of stray dogs.

Announcement to Women

We have just installed the new line of McDougall Kitchen Cabinets. We invite you to call within the next day or so and see the interesting display on our floor. The 1907 models maintain the wellknown McDougall standard. You will find no better workmanship on the finest parlor furniture. The finish is nt only beautiful, but very durable; it defies heat, cold and moisture of the kitchen. Because of this sort of making, the McDougall lasts a life time, whereas poorly-made cabinets warp, fall to pieces and prove a nuisance. We wish you also to note the superior arrangement of the McDougall. which makes it by far the most convenient. The low prices on these famous cabinets are made possible by the large quantities manufactured by the McDougall people, who make and sell more cabinets than any other ten makers combined. Exhibition and Sale co:i mences Saturday

February 2nd Opening Sle Prices $13 00 to $30.00 Terms ft per week. A McDoueall Kitchen Cabinet paid for outright, is a mighty wise investment. But it's an even better "buy" when you pay for it at the same price, on easy payments

Announcement to Men

Look here! Your wife (if she's the average woman) is doing jut twice as much kitchen work as she ought. She's playing the kitchen drudge surrounded by every known inconvenience. With a McDougall Kitchen Cabinet she could do her work in half the time, and have two or four hours more of life every day. All without taxing you, because a McDougall pays for itself in the first year alone. And it lasts a lifetime. Don't you owe it to her, at the very least, to investigate this? You understand, of course, that In buying kitchen cabinets ,as in other things, it pays to buy the best and we have tho kind you really want. Especially when the best sells for practically the same price as the kind you don't want. Conic in anil see the McDougall.

Achieved So Many Victories over cars of its class, as well as many higher priced cars, during the last season, that towards the end of the year it was compelled to enter races and hill-climbing contests, granting handicaps to other cars and then, frequently, if not invariably, defeated its competitors. THE BUICK AUTOMOBILE is the only car that went clear through on the Chicago-New York Relay Race last summer; several higher priced cars tried but quit before finishing half the run. This feat was accomplished by the Model "F" 22 H.P., 5-passenger touring car, as shown in cut, the price of which is $1250. 1 Free demonstrations cheerfully given upon request. 1 An illustrated catalog describing all models in detail free.
