WHAT WILL IT BRING2
Well That We Do Not KnOvv-A Faith
That Will Make the New
Year Brighter.

"With hope millions stand on the
closing day of the year with faces to-
ward the FUTURE" writes Mrs. Hamil-
ton Mott, in the Ladies' Home Jour
nal. "'What will the New Year bring
me?' each one asks himself. No one
knows. And how we'll it is that we do
not. 1t requires sober thought to re-
alize that what we are and what we
do are along the lines of wise ere
alton. 1t is often very easy for US to
feel that we might change things for
the better if the power and oppor-
tunity were but ours. But the most
astute cleverness Of man, is poor af-
fair when compared with the sim
plest wisdom of God. And one thing
that can make this new year before
US happier is to have that one feel.
ing, that one thought, that one faith
always with US: That whatever is, is
right and for the best. Frequently
we cannot comprehend at the time
why this should be so. why that
should happen, and why some partic-
ular trial should come to US while
some great JOY comes at the same
time to another; why we should have
so little and others so much. But
nothing ever comes into our lives ex-
cept what is for our good. And some
day we shall clearly understand all"
A Peculiar Custom.
At Coventry it used to be the custom
to eat what were called Gods cakes
on New Years day. They were of a
triangular shape, about half an inch
thick and filed with kind of mince-
meat.-N. Y. Herald.

Do You Think

of quality when you buy shoes? It's quality that makes the wear in a shoe, and it's quality that also makes the price what it is. You can't get the best shoes for the least money, and you can't get better shoes for the same amount of money than you can find here. Our large stock offers every inducement to you to at least look us over before buying. All kinds of shoes for all kinds of people, from the infant to the grand parents.

 Cold Storage.
 We are pleased to announce that our cold storage is now in successful op eration. Seven separate and distinct display refrigerators held at a tenn perature p to 90. per cent lower than where ice is used. Just think of how nice and fresh We can keep oysters, poultry. fish. cheese and all the deli cate fruits and vegetables which re- quire intense cold for their preserva- ton. But it is not our intention to hold anything in cold storage any longer than necessary; shipments will be re ceived just as often as heretofore. The great advantage of our cold stor- age will lie in the fact that we will be enabled to supply our customers with perishable foods in the most perfect condition. No danger of anything get ting old and stale. The cold, dry air at freezing point prevents that.
 PURE FOODS AT REASONABLE PRICES" shall be our motto. The good and best in abundance-the unworthy not at aIl-and the lowest prices con- sistent with good quality ond honest quantity.
 For Salads-We are headquarters for the Raw Material. You will nearly always find exactly what you want in our cold storage boxes.
