sanction in our country will lead to the
adoption of the system on French rail
roads, which would surely lead to the
extension of the plan throughout Italy,
Switzerland and Spain. should think,
considering the manifest merits of the
new way the railways of the United
States, which are the most progressive
in the world, would soon take it up and
have done with the ancient system, so
confusing and misleading through the
enforced use of a. m. and p. m. The /
twenty-four hour clock system is an
ideal one for the railways, absolutely
all danger through the dup
LEGATION of hours for day and night. 1t
is the coming system, and I look to
see it operation in America in the
near future. Washington Post.

Is the Quality,
the Price and
the Service Right?

Our prices are always the low
est. Ask any one who trades
with US exclusively---and there,
are many such--and they will tell
you we handle the best goods
made. The service is also as
good as conscientious and expe-
rienced help can make it.
If you trade with us these
