"As a manufacturer I am heartily in favor of any action likely to lead to the abolition of this inflammable stove polish from the market. It is largely made out West.

AH the mail boxes in the city, numbering about seventy have received their new coat of green paint and unsightly boxes are now things of the

: past.

Cards giving the time of collections and deliveries, have been ordered by Postmaster Spekenhier and these will be placed on the boxes as soon, as they are completed. Owing to the fact that boys have in the past tampered

I with the cards and cut them off the boxes, they will be replaced only once, and it is up to the citizens to protect the cards when they are placed on the boxes. The penalty attached to an offense of tampering with the mail boxes amounts to a fine be tween $500 and $1,000.

Three carriers make a regular Sunday collection now and all letters dropped ir. the boxes on that day will arrive in time for the Sunday evening mail. Heretofore, only the mail from , the most prominently located boxes ; was collected, but It has been found ! advisable to make a collection over

the entire city on Sunday afternoons.

We Are Well Aware

That our forefathers who went through the hardships of clearing this land and building it up to its present state could not have done it on the bread that lets of bakers bake today. The pioneers of this country had bread that was oft times a month old and as hard as the wood they had to chop, yet we can tell you that there was more nutriment, more bone and sinew, more building power In one pound of that than there is in ten pounds of the light flaky cottony stuff that lots of bakers are turning but today. Not so with Mothers and Victor They Arc Made by Up-to-date Processes And have the nutriment -in them necessary to the upbuilding of human life. Ask your grocer for the6e varieties.
