The postoffice department is preparing to issue the McKinley postal cird. It is of the regulation size, having the seal of the United States in the left hand corner, while in the upper right hand corner is a splendid likeness of the lace president and above it is the inscription showing the value of the postage to be ope cent, while below the picture is the year dates of McKinley’s birth and death. It is a handsome card. Mr. A. James, who has been in town this week advertising GRAIN O and JELL-O, called at this office before he left and presented the editor with a package each of Lemon, Orange, Raspberry and Strawberry JELL-O. We found that JELL O is a delicious gelatine dessert prepiration, already sweetened and favored, and prepared for the table by simply pouring boiling water over it. We should think that it would be very nice to add figs, nuts, sliced bananas, oranges or other fresh or candied fruits, and that dei licious combinations could be made by adding Sherry or Port wine, etc. As the price is but 10 cents a package, it seems that all might enjoy this luxury, as every first class grocer sells it.
