but by statutory enactment this has been

1t was but recently that in one Of the States

IL is for the hest interests Of society that

esIT SEEMS like trying TO make men
honest by machinery to have a cash
register in ones place OF business -
remarked the proprietor of an uptown
restaurant yesterday. But think It is
Il good thing, and that is why l have that
one behind the counter there.
'-Somc people argue that IL a ma n wants to
cheat. he won't have to lay awake many
nights trying to get the better OF a cash
register, and that. of course, is partially
true. But the eche.ting can't go onas s.ccess-
fully as when the only thing lie has to do is
to walk to the cash drawer and take the
money out. and none will be the wiser, ex.
cept the proprietor a few years later, when
he finds his clerk ready to buy him out.
Every man has a hesitancy about tack
ling the machine. and if they do. it must be
done right before the customer. or he'll
wonder why his change is not rung up. 1
believe machine honesty is advanta geous

Down in Nicaragua President
Zelaya was according to the last
news debating terms to a Provi'
sional Government and a large
b ,dy of rebels, after administering
fine beating to a big insurgen,
army. In calling for unconditional
surrender the President guarantees
the lives OF the common people, but
says the military leaders must be
tried by court martial. The next
advices may be to the effect that
these military leaders are trying
the President and his supporters by
court martial. Both Great Britain
and the United States are closely
watching the affair on account OF
interest in the canal. In Venezuela
all the people have agreed to de-
clare the revolution out of season
until the boundary dispute is

the prosecuted people by force OF
arms. He said the situation was
the concern of each power to itself
and that individual governmental
action was the only prospect. Con-

TO MEET THE DEMAND FOR FIRST
CLASS REFRIGERAToRs.
Built within the Means of Sverybod,
and Finished In the Same Manner
as High Priced Boxes.

ecu.
The peculiar and scientific
construction of the Alaska
,reates a thorough and con
'tant circulation by which all
,apors arising from foods in the
provision chamber are con-
lensed in the ice pan, and run
off with the melting ice.
Most refrigerators are so
constructed that vapors from
various kinds of foods are chill
ed to bead drops of water with
in the provision chamber.
Hence such refrigerators are
always damp and deleteroos to
health; and hence the instruc-
ton "to frequently wipe the
moisture from the provision
chamber"
In the Alaska no UapOrS are
allowed to remain; but, by a
perfect circulation of air, they
are drawn through the fiues in
to the ice chest and are con-
densed there. By thus removing
the vapor all odor is removed
for the odor is in the vapor
and dry, pure cold air falls
into the provision chamber.
The provision chamber of
the Alaska never coats from
condensation, but is always
clean and free from foul odor.
The points sought for in a
refrigerator are:
LIST. The preservation ofper-
ishable foods.
End. The disposal of foul
vapors which constantly exhale
from provisions.
3rd. Dryness of atmosphere
in the provision chamber.
4th. Low and unvarying
temperature.
5th. Economical use of ice
These results are best pro-
duced by the Alaska, and are
plainly demonstrable upon the
scientific principles used in the
build, by which low tempera
ture and dryness of air are
naturally and inevitably obtain.
ed, and do away with the prin-
cipal reasons of decay in meats
and fruits, dampness and vary.
ing temperature caused by ex-
pansion and contraction o.
tissues, hence a dry atmosphere
and uniform temperature are
conducive to their preserva-
ton.
i The patent waste water traI
is health assuring and keeps
out all odors deleterous t.
health as effectually as a sewer
trap can. This trap is one o
the most novel, as it has GER
tainly proved itself to be one o
the most useful improvements
Heretofore this cup has beer
on the end of the waste pipe
outside of the refrigerator
Through carelessness or indif
ference it has often been los
or not put on. Now this entirely
new and novel design is ftteo
to the waste pipe in the proui
sion chamber, just beneath thu
lice chamber, where it can be
easily reached to be removed
when necessary to clean.
A refrigerator with a poor
provision shelf is almost use
less, and most provision shelves
are worthless, because they
: are made from wire or narrow
strips of tin or iron, so narrow
that no small dish can be placed
upon them, and so weak thai
they will not support a large
article.
The provision shelf of thu
Alaska is solid galvanized
iron and the slots are corrugat
ed, and are wide enough 81
that any dish can be placed OF
them without tipping over. Ii
fact the construction of tn,
Alaska Refrigerator is the
acme of perfection.
