History of the |First Bank v Of ligon Mier State Bank began with the husiness transactions of Solomon’. Mier about the year 1856 when the people, having gained confidence in the young man, began to leave their surplus with him at his store in Ligonier and received in return certificates of deposit. Sty In the latter part of the6o’s Sol Mier entered more extensively into banking and hisplace of business became known as the Banking House of Sol Mier. On January 1 1900, the men who are now the officials of the present institution associated themselves with the late Solomon Mier and the Banking House of Sol Mier became known as the Banking House of Sol Mier Ccmpany. Gn, June 15 1905, The Banking House of Sol Mier Comipany qualified under the State law and became Mier Stateßank, thereby being the OLDEST BANK in Ligonier, the LARCEST BAMNK in Ligonier and the FIRST STATE BAINK in Ligonier. ° i ] The reasons are evident as the Mier State Bank has always been known as the “Old Reliable” and the “Bank of Szcrecy” where no°* outsider knows your business. 'The standing and responsibility of - this old institution are the very highest and the depositors have always known that their business was not alone safe with the Mier State Bank, but that business entrusied to its care was unknown to the public, and the results are that the Mier State Bank has depositors in all parts of the state, who do their banking by mail. There are names on the Bank’s books today that were on the books 50 years ago. Children’s children continue to bank with the “Old Reliable.” If not a customer why not join our large family and become one of us?

It all depends on her physical well-being. : l_ - _Youth and beauty have a foundation in sound health. And food is easily the most important item in: health. In giving consideration to the subjects of diet and beauty, women should not forget the food euenm that make for the preservation off teeth, hair, figure and complexion. | Blame for round shoulders, flat; chest and poor teeth among women is due In large measure to faulty diet) or, specifically, to a lack ‘of lime nnd, phosphorus. Milk, or evaporated milk, which is simply cow’s milk with 60 per cent of the water taken away, is especially rich in lime, : Because of the concentration of evaporated imilk, which is regulated by government standards, it i 8 of BN 1 lOAAD | ' = A’MV ] et w : f—fl_i‘p“ ) L] Dk L '.;/' S A\\./‘ L !

Salads also play an important part in the dietary. Some sort of a salad, lettuce, tomato, fresh fruit, cabbage or vegetable, should be eaten at least once a day. Neither is the dally menu complete without a generous quality of coarse, leafy vegetables, valuable for their high vitamin content.

] ® k Purity of Mil Protected Now By Scientists v—-—"— 5 By KATHRYN BT. JOHN Careful housewives constantly make it a point to ascertain the quality of each item that goes on their tables.

Herds are earefully groomed, and their yards and barns are kept scrupulously clean, as are all utensils. Milk condenseries are located in the heart of the big dairy regions to facilltate speedy handlimg, for this is essentlal if the milk is to be canped at “Its moment of maturity.” Canvascovered trucks haul the mm ket, thus protecting the pro from contamination on the way. Arriving at the condensery, the ‘milk goes through tests for acidity, ‘ | flavor and butterfat content before & ‘ is accepted. ¥ ¢

Experts watch the progress of the milk through every step of its way. It goes into the evaporating machine; to the homogenizer, which breaks up the fat globules so that the milk may be easily digested by the consumer; by way of the almost human filling machine into sterilized cans; then into the sterllizer, where the cans are surrounded by steam and boiling water, destroying any possible bacteria.
