PURITY.

Purity in flour ought to be an impor-
tant consideration in every family. In
making "Clifton" flour every grain of
wheat is thoroughly cleaned before
grinding, and is converted into flour in
a hygenically clean modern mill. The
flour is purified, aerated and sifted
through delicate silk cloths before it is
sacked. Absolute purity is thus as
sured.
The best flour looks very much like
any other -four when it is in the sack.
The real test is the baking. That's
where Clifton flour excels by every test
-excels in purity and perfection; in
the quality and richness of the bread
Pure flour really does not cost more
than flour that is not strictly pure.
Clifton" -four is guaranteed strictly
pure wheat flour and is sold at reason
able price. Clifton" has no rival.
There sno better -four sold at any
price. Ask your grocer for it.

TRUE OF THE ENTIRE SOUTH.

Every town and city in the state, has
an over supply of brainy young fellows
who have been crowded into the pro-
fessions--lsw, dentistry, the ministry,
etc. Only very small per cent of
these have their heads above the level.
Blany OF them will live and die failures.
1t isnot their fault. They have the
brains the energy, the muscle and the
determination to do, but there is little
left when his brother lawyers OF doc
ters get their share.
So in the end he becomes listless and
contented with a bare livelihood-a
victim of mis-epplied education.
Our lawmakers are largely to blame
for this state of affairs. They refuse to
see end are still blind to future posi-
bilities. And parents are to blame, too,
for not taking up arms against this
system, when each year has added
to their future discomfort
The same train that carried their
boy to New York or Chicago for the
completion of his education as a pro-
fessional man, carried also an order for
awagon from New York, or watch
from Indiana, dress from New York,
or a watch from Connecticut, thus
lighting both ends of the purse string
at one time.
Why not teach boy to make the
things that we buy elsewhere?
