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*

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.

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
.. Yours to serve at all times ? Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter ? the year rolJ^/
Reasonable prices, best quality, courteous treatment, prompt service, and. your p
ronago appreciated.
