Steer Clear of Them.

The Wadsworth Dispatch says: A
Sacramento grocery, provision and
general merchandising firm is send
ing out sealed letters 20 the people Of
this section and claims to hold out
special inducements to those who
send in orders. 1t is wiser plan to
let such firms alone. They generally
get the best Of the purchaser in the
long run, for you pay them cash and
have no chance to examine the goods
or return them if the quality is poor
or weight light. We need as much
money in circulation at home as pos
sible and it will always be found the
best policy to buy of home mer-
chants and steer clear of these price
list grocerymen OF Sacramento.

instantaneous photographs under water at
any depth and in any weather. Photo
graphs have been taken in a brief time un-

something more than this was wanted.
