Nappanee News: Ella Miller was robbed of her long, pretty auburn tresses in a most mysterious manner at Elkhart the other night. The young lady, who is about sweet sixteen, didn't miss the hair of her head until she arose in the morning and the hair remained on her pillow, and beside it lay a pair of shears. As the act could not have been performed by one outside the household, it is supposed to have been that of her younger brother who arose in his sleep and with the shears ent off his sister's tresses and returned to his bed without awaking her or himself. He is a somnambulist.

If the goods are i sound it will be solid and there i will be no rattle in (he tin. Re- ; ject every tin that shows any sign of rust around the cap on i the inside of the head ot the can. It i the housekeepers are educated on these points then the muriate zinc amalgam will become a thing of the

A Question We are frequently asked why we can sell flour so much cheaper than our neighboring towns. If you will take the pains to figure what the flour would cost you when you exchange wheat for it you will see why we can do so. When wheat is worth 57 cents per bushel flour would cost you $1.50 per hundred. Remember we are giving 38 pounds of n bushel of good wheat and guarantee the flour to be good, ('j/sfor wheat at all times. Retail pi ice of flour $1.75. D Gensinger, Teegarden, Ind.
