Startling rumors have recently been

A PRESSING QUESTION.

4 The Sunday saloon question Is coming
hgain 10 the front. II cannot be lg-
horei nor stamped out of sight, In the
recent municipal election II was pre-
scented to both political parties in the
struggle, and they each agreed that the
demand made for tbs suppression Of
the unlawful traffic should be the busl-
ness of the yictors, It was predicted
that rs soon as the election was over
the former Objectionable conditions
would return; that the violation OF the
Sunday laws would be winked at, and
the saloon element would triumph over
tie aeliators for the laws supremacy.
Reports from reliable and apparently
authentic sources, are 70 the effect that
The saloon business Is again conducted

haps as tetore, but stu liquor Is sold

defiance OF the city ordinance,

Brain Food Nonsense.

Another ridiculous food fad has
been branded by the most competent
Authorities. They have dispelled the
silly notion that one kind OF food is
needed for brain, another for muscles,
and still another for bones. A correct
diet will not only nourish particular
part OF the body, but it will sustain
every other part. Yet, however good
your food may be, its nutriment is de-
stroyed by indigestion or dyspepsia.
