city 40 people were enjoying a $4,000
dinner given by one Guggenhelmer, who
never earned q cent Of the money he put

ground hogs to look after our weather,
which same has saved the beast an un-

need Of a pure soda-water bill is as ur-
gent as that of pure beer bill, because
Of the composition of the syrups that

improvement in health conditions from
year to year and they ought to stimulate
the municipalities in the State to still
further advance in sanitary science.
