A NEW FOOD
A NEW SMILE
A smile of complete satisfaction follows the
first taste of New Post Toasties---the superior corn
flakes made by a new, patented process.
These delicious new breakfast flakes are fea
tured by the tiny bubbles-- -raised on each flake by
thedick, intense heat of this new art of toasting.
Si'he New Toasties are not "chaffy" in the
package; they don't mush down when milk or
cream is added, like common "corn flakes;" and
they have a delicious new flavour not found in
corn flakes of the past.
They're well worth trying---these
New Post Toa sties

MOTOR CARf 1
Consult the impression uppermost in
your mind and you will find that you think
of this car as very conscientiously made.
This very general and instinctive feel
ing is, of course, a reflection of the actual
facts. People think of the car in this light
because of of their high opinion of Dodge
Brothers as manufacturers. And that
good opinion is justified by the perfor
mance of the car.
The gasoline consumption is unusually low.
The price of the Touring Car or Roadster comn
plcte, including regular mohair top,
is $950 (f. o. b. Detroit.)

WOMAN AND AUTO.
Local Agent Says There's Nothing
Like It,
"Who has said a word about what
good roads are going - to do for wo
men," asks, Doe Swygert, of Trayn
ham & Swygert, distributors for the
Haynes "Light Six."
"We have had dinned in our ears
that good roads are going to profit
the general public by cutting hauling
costs, vivifying the country, boom
ing real estate values, but no one has
so much as intimated that good roads
have benefits in store particularly for
women. They might well feel that
they have been slighted.
"Women and automobiles have been
marked as boon companions. A few
women drove cars when they were
cranked by hand. Bitt since the ad
vent. of the self Starter, and improved
steering devices, the connections be
tween milady and her automobile have
eersicially close, for wotuen may now
take their' cars and go where they
please, so long as streels and roads
are good.
"'There is no getting around the fact
that t.he automobile has made 11 pret
tier, healthier, and more self reliant
woman. The woman driver today can
thread through traille expertly, and
she is beating chauffers at their own
tricks in city driving.
"Just now few women venture tak
ing their cars out over country roads
alone. Thoroughfares outside city
limits have offered rigors and discom
forts, that she is unwilling to put up
with on a pleasure spin. Usually the
trip out through the country is post
potted until Saturday or Sunday when
a man can preside at the wheel.
"Level and solid roads, kept up the
year around, are going to place the
sunshine and good altr of the country
at the feminine driver's pleasure ev
ery day in the week. Highway im
provements will make a wholesomer
woman by extending her touring radi
us in parts where she needs most to
go. 'There is nothing that will smooth
out a tangle of household affairs like
a dash through fields and woodlots
for a good breath of fresh morning altr.
"The Man of the house will find
that a morning spin will place a pair
of as sparkling eyes and a face as
flush with color opposite him at lunch
as he is likely to see for (lays , to
come.'

COLLAR BUTTON SAVED LIFE
Either Carpenter Had Remarkable
Exporlence or He Had More Than
a Shade on Ananias.
The ancient Carpenter held a small
object between the thumb and first
finger of his left hand and pointed at
it impressively with the index finger
of his right hand.
"For this little article," he ex
claimed, "I wouldn't take a farm."
As the ancient Carpenter is the ac
knowledged verisimilitude champion of
the Curbstone club, the other mem
bers gathered about him to hear his
latest effort.
"Looks to me like a collar button,"
the fat plumber observed.
"And so it is."
"What is so valuable about it?"
"It saved my life once."
"Ilow?"
.It was when I became lost in the
Grea North woods."
"w ere you ever lost in the Great
North woods?"
"I should say I was; for over two
seeks, and without a thing to eat in
my knapsack."
"How did you manage to subsist?"
"That's where this trinket comes
in."
"Indeed ?"
The ancient Carpenter gazed affec
tionately on the little object in his
hand as he replied, amidst breathless
silence:
"Yes, the little bit of bone saved
my life. For two long weeks I didn't
have a thing to eat but collar-button
soup."
The club members, as in one voice
fervently exclaimed:
"Poor old Ananias! "-Youngstown

PLAYING CARDS LONG IN USE
Their Origin Lost in Obscurity-Have
Been Put to a Great Variety
of Uses.
The origin of playing cards is lost
in obscurity. They are generally as
signed to the Orient, but they are
now almost universal in currency and
popularity. The backs of old English
cards were generally plain, and thus
it was that when pa'per was scarce or
expensive, old cards were too useful
to be destroyed. They were, on the
contrary, used for various purposes.
Thus they are often found in the
bindings of old books, where they
were preserved. The old cards were
also sometimes cut up for paper dolls.
They were also used as cards of in
vitation and as risiting cards. Thack
eray refers to this in "Henry
Esmond."
The earliest examples of wood cuts
were intended for playing cards. They
antedate the famous St. Christopher
wood cut that is sometimes credited
with being the earliest.
In the olden days playing cards, in
stead of knitting, were used by spec
tators in playhouses as an amusement
while waiting for the performance to
begin.
Such widely differing materials as
silver, leather, paper, wood, parch
ment, cardboard, deerskin and even
buffalo hide have all been used in
mtking playing cards.
The Japanese Woman.

Infection Through Cigar Gutters.
Wh'len it is recognizedl how easily
the cigar cutter may 1)0 the nmeans of
spreading infection, andl infection of
a dangerous nature, (lie days of this
article of convenience wvill be num
bered. To illustrate: a person wvill
often, after he has first held his cigar

put his cigar into the cutter. This
thoughtless yet dangerous habit is so
common that it can be witnessed time
after time at every cigar stand. Un
doubtedly it has been one of the prin

is high time that an agent so potent

A SPRING BLOSSOMING
The eye is relieved from the sombre
shades of winter wear at the appearance
of the br'ighter' and more variegated tints
for spring. The goods just opened have
been personally selected in the northern
Smarkets and embrace the latest effects for
the season. Many choice designs are dis
played in colored fabrics and the plain and
frncy weaves in all white show nice tex
tures.
One of the most difficult lines to se
cure this season is Hosiery of foreign make,
forfunately we succeeded in getting our
old standard stock, numbers that have been
so satisfactory in former seasons. And
this can also be said of Table Linen.
A complete line of Notions including
the latest ideas in Neckwear.
Owing to the high cost of materials, the man
ufactue ers have notified the jobbers to advance
prices, and the customer at the retail counter wili
make a wise move to buy early, or later pay the
advanced price..
We solicit an inspection of the new goods
opened here, Respectfully,
