GOODBY TO FATHER WINTER . No Doubt That Spring Is Here, With All the Joyousness That the Season Should Bring. The harbingers of spring nre numer ous, though often obscure. It does not take ninny wnrmlsh days nt this time of the year to make the heart of anl-. mate Nature, Including innn, to throb with hope. We have been filled With forebodings. All of onr mild December we said that the autumn was lingering long this year. In equally mild Jan uary we prognosticated that we would "get It" in February. We are still a little fearful that old Father Winter may have some Ice and snow for us In his storehouse and so we try not to be too forward looking. But a complete plan of the garden dmwn to a scale, with every radish and bean and cabbage located Is not rushing the season, and It Is a mighty pleasant thing to make out these days. Stewart Edward White says he always gets out his book of files In February, furbishes up the old ones and replaces the missing favorites, and dreams, the while, of pools and rapids. The house keeper sighs at the sight of grimy wall pgper and then hopefully begins to nouseclean the spare room. A few hopeful robins came back this week, as well as some blackbirds. They say the skunk cabbages are blooming along Big Daisy's rocky shore. Spring h* on the Way I ? Ohio State Journal. Healthy Men Defied "Flu." An observant hospital corps man ol the navy became so thoroughly con vinced that lowered resistance wa> always the determining factor In con tracting influenza that he and some of bis mates volunteered to test the truth of his theory. The offer was Ac cepted and 100 enlisted men who vol unteered were submitted to exhaus tive experiments by naval surgeons the outcome of which seems to con firm the theory. These men were all In the best of physical condition, and during the experiment their health was looked after carefully. Live culture! of Influenza bacilli- were sprayed In their throats and noses hourly. Tit# germs were Introduced Into their food They were k??pt In close contact with patients suffering from the disease Some members of the group received various preventive Inoculations, hut others were not ftius protected., Not a single case of Influenza was de veloped.

" i ________ AT YOUR SERVICE ALL THE YEAR ROUND ' - ? ? * The unusual generally appeals to the public. We desire to say to our friends, patrons and to the public at large that we truly appreciate the patronage they have given us in the past, and it is our desire to so cater to their wants at all times that we may retain their good will and patronage continually. It is the custom, as we all know, for all or the majority of the meat markets in our city to close down or suspend handling fresh meats during the summer months. Due to this custom on their part our patronage is greatly increased, as we are al ways at your service, Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter ? the year round. Now, here's where t le unusual comes in ? Instead of taking advantage of a practical monopoly and making higher prices, we desire and propose (in view of the increased bulk of business) to give the pu - lie the benefit of reduced prices which appear belo*w. And it is my intention to giv such satisfactory service and reasonable prices as will enable me to retain my reguia line of customers and to merit the continued patronage of those who have favore ^ me with their patronage during the summer. Look at the prices quoted below: Reef Steak, formerly sold for 35 and 40c, now selling at 30 and 35c Roast Reef, formerly sold for 30 and 35c, now selling at 28 and 30c Stew Reef, formerly sold for 15 and 22 l-2c, now selling at 12 1-2 and 20c Hamburger Steak, formerly sold for 30c, no^v selling at 25c Right Price? on Staple and Fancy Groceries ..
