COPPER BARS

Nowadays is really the only topic of conversation you can hear. We'll, let by-gones be by-gones: the copper is gone, that's a settled fact. but we want to impress on your mind how easy it is for the manufacturers to tell to the ounce how much is missing. Some people will say. How in thun- der do they know how much is miss ingg Such people do not know how much they themselves lose every year. The manufacturer has his scales and has everything weighed that comes into his establishment. and if found short, you bet they refuse to pay for what they do not receive. 1t should be the principle in every household in our city; every one should have handy little scales that won't take up much room and yet do you good ser vice. If you had one you could weigh everything you purchased. If you find a shortage. just go back and de- mafld your rights and then tell the fel- low who cheated you what you think of him. Let him know you are "onto' his game and you'll find at the end or the year that your scales is the best paying article in your house. Well, if you want just such a scales we've got them, and while they last you can se- cure one with only two pounds of our warranted good Baking Powder, 4oc per ponnd- The regular price of the scales Is $1. therefore you see. the bar gain you can get by purchasing your Baking Powder at

by thoroughly purifying the blood,
this great medicine reduces the in

Catarrh is especially dangerous in
persons who inherit or have acquired
a predispositiOn to consumption.
In these and all other catarrhal cases,
Hoods Sarsaparilla so thoroughly rem
ovates the bloed and restores strength
and vigor that it permanently cures.
In fact, because Of the character Of
the disease, and the peculiar merit OF
the remedy, Hoods Sarsaparilla is the
common-sense treatment for catarrh.

AN EVOLUTION.

FF'rom the Duluth Herald
There seems to be some skeDticisan
about whether the world IL growing airy
better or not. but there are problems
that are eliminating themselves to some
extent, at any rate. It is generally
known that the drinking habit is not
nearly SO prevalent as It was In the
days OF our great grandfathers. when
parsons could drink their parishioners
under the table and be thought not a
whit less pious for 1t. Such thing to-
day would shock the moral sense OF the
community and fill the wicked with glee
though 1t would not have been given
passing thought In the old days
But the change has gone a good deal
farther than that. The day is not very
long past when men could hold response
bic positions and continue to befoul their
natures and befog their minds with ex-
cessive drinking But II - past. ana
wen past There are very few men today
in high position or IN high standing IN
any trade. business or profession who
are able to keep up with the tremendous
competition and pressure OF modern
methods and stin make themselves
drunk on various and sundry occasions.
They must keep their brains clear and
their hands steady or fan by the way
