The Electric Doctors Danger Signal.

Just place light when pass tonight,
Place 1t where it can be seen;
Ii our darling Is dead, show the red,
If she is better, show the green.
The above verse is taken from a
pretty song written of a railroad en-
gineer, and repeats his words to his
wife as his duty calls him from the
bedside of their sick baby. With
heavy heart he journeys to "The end
of the rum" from which he has been
called by this unsupported sick spell.
Arriving there on Especial" He
waits impatiently for "the limited
mall" which his engine is to pull over
the division. The train is an hour
late, which gives him chance to
make up the lost time and hurry past
his home on the iron-horse and thus
ascertain by the red or green light Of
his babv's fate. The train starts on,
and it speeds over hills, through val
leys and across rivers. The engineer
with loving fathers anxiety for his
suffering infant, pulls the lever farther
back and the train bounds faster and
faster over the iron rails; his cottage
hoves in sight, and the anxious father
with his head in the cab window, ex-
poets to see the red light Of danger.
The train passes the cottage like a
flash. His happiness knows no bounds
He is almost crazed with JOY for in
that window shines the green.
The Electric Doctors alter all hope
is going and time and money spent by
sick people in trying to find a cure for
their diseases in poisons and drugs,
shows them the green light of health
and happiness. and not the red light
danger signal of death.
The effect of Electricity upon the
nerves is that of a powerful Nerve
Tonic. It generates new life and
energy, and tones up the relaxed,
weakened and shaky nerves, aud gives
them vigorous energy. It is through
the nervous system that seminal weak
ness exerts its most pernicions effects
The reaction of abuse OF the organs,
natural or unnatural, is primarily up
on the nerve centers, and from them
the injurious excltation is reflected to
the generative orga sand to all parts
of the physical system:
Weak and worn out women that
suffer with that trouble peculiar to
their kind, will find in the Electric
Therapeutic Treatment prescribed by
the Electric Doctors, the only sure
road to health and happiness because
medicine does not cure.
To further establish their claims for
electricity in the treatment, the Elec-
/ trio Doctors will remain in Shelton
one week more with offices OF Hotel
Webb. Advice and trial treatment
free.
One more free entertainment and
lecture will be given in this city by

Ground Hog Day.

The people of Western Washington
can lay in an extra supply of fuel, for
six more weeks of cold weather are
promised
When the festive woodchock awoke
from his hibernating sleep, unkinked
himself and emerged from his winter
retreat this morning, he gazed around
over his left shoulder and saw the H.
Illuminating orb of day rising over the
eastern hills in cold and unsympathet-
ic splendor. That settled it with the
ground hog. He went back to his nest
for another six weeks sleep. No
kindling of fires these cold mornings
for him
According to the accepted tradition,
the ground hog leaves his nest on the
second day of FEBRUARY, and if the sun
shines on the day, it is prophetic of six
weeks of bad weather, as the animal
retires again for that length of time.
But if the day is cloudy and the sun
is obscured the ground hog remains
out, and this indicates an early spring
and general good weather.
In the Eastern Central and New
England states, especially in the farm
ing districts, the belief in the weather
sagacity of the ground hog is so great
that farmers prepare to p1ow and plant
or refrain therefrom, according to
whether the second of February is
sunny or otherwise. In other sections
of the country the belief in the mar
mot's wisdom is nearly as strong

Wholesale and Retail Grocers.

Wholesale and Retail Grocers.
In this age of keenest competition.
when small profits and quick sales are
the order, our most enterprising and
wide awake business men devote much
of their attention to the problem of
how to sell on the smallest possible
margin and doa living business. This
great problem has been solved i'm the
most satisfactory manner by such
houses as that of Mcssrs Robinson &
Mundorif by selling all goods for cash,
which enables them to deduct the per-
centage loss on accounts from the sell
ling price of goods and thus to save
customers many dollars each month.
In this way, while selling goods much
cheaper than competitors. the money
is quickly turned, the goods are kept
fresh and the patronage is increased.
The operations are both retail and
wholesale and in which the stock con-
sists of canned goods, sugars, coffees,
soaps, spices, vinegar, syrup. flour,
feed, bran, chop, hay and feed of all
kinds. The premises are centrally To-
Gated and Messrs. Robinson & Mum
