GOOD BEEF

Makes good blood, good blood makes
good health, and good health makes
happiness. George Gussner furnishes
the key to happiness in fine, juicy
steaks, Toasts and chops. Beeves
killed + bought with are in selection
and fattened especially for the trade.
Fine three and four year old steers
all prime stock-no old cows or stays.
Try Gussner tne next time you want
a good piece OF beef. Pork and NUT
ton always fresh and first class. .

The object OF the Florence Critten-

helping hand to our less fortunate sis
tiers, and by u sympathy and love to
help them to a better life" The
members of the circle here are nearly
all mothers who have reared 10 ga
cious womanhood, fair young daugh-
ters of our own, who have taken hon
orable places in the world and live to
bless other homes Of their own-ani
we are now moved with pity for the
homeless and motherless girls we see
about us-and fain would offer to tine
weak and tempted daughters of others
les fortunate mothers the cup of water
Sin His name" who first taught for
giveness and pity for the erring.
The Florence Crittenton Circle Of
Bismarck is proud of its membership
in the North Dakota Federation OF
Women's Clubs. On this pleasant oc-
casion of the midsummer meeting in
this beautiful city IN the banks of the
mystic spirit lake of North Dakota, we
extend our cordial greeting to each sis
ter club in session whether organized
for s~elf-culture, social enjoyment or
for the public benefit.
Especially do we desire to express
our sincere appreciation of the laud-
able object of the federation to pro
mote acquaintance, sympathy and
helpfulness among the representative
women of our beloved state.

him for the Senate "because
they want to push Arkansas to
