ECONOMY IS Wealth.

No matter who we are or how
well fixed financially it is human
nature to be economical when pur-
chasing the necessities oflife. Good
bread forms a greater part of the
necessities Of life among the Ameri-
can people than any other article of
food. If we were Crientals we
would economic on bread. To be
extravagant when we buy luxuries
and to drive good bargain when
buying the necessities of life is a
trait Of character for which our peo-
pie are distinguished. When buy
ing flour we should select the flour
that will make the most loaves per
Dbl. The manufacturers of GOLD
MEDAL FLOUR make the as.
sertion that 40 MORE loaves Of bread,
and the best bread, mind you, can
be made from GOLD MEDAL
FLOUR per Dbl. than any country
mill brand. Just think what this
means to the economical purchaser!
40 loaves, at s cents loaf, means a
saving of $500 on a Dbl. of flour.
We charge only 20 cents more than
the local mills. We make the claim
that our flour is cheaper by $3.50 on
every Dbl. you buy. For sale by all
leading grocers and wholesale and

The three men were in Jail for killing

same-though in the larger towns
the authorities are attempting to es-
tablish more sanitary condition.
Every river, ditch or pond is o
washtub, and the rubbing is done
upon the fat stones that lie about
the brink.
When the women are at their work
they stand in the shallow water or
kneel upon the bank. The clothes
are first dipped into the stream, then
thrown. upon, the stone; each piece
is patted and pounded, rubbed with
a sort of soap-bark or fibre, wet with
handfuls of water scooped up in a
cup or in the hand, then for final
rinsing it is trailed and beaten in the
stream.
One might doubt the efficacy of
this treatment did he not see the
snowy wilderness of the linen bleach
ing in the sun.
Among the natives the term "fam-
lily washing" is certainly used in its
most literal sense, for the family
and the clothes have one common
washing day. After the garments
have been spread to dry the babies
are set upon the washing stone and
handfuls Of water poured over them
till the little brown bodies shine like
satin. At last the mother has her
turn and, standing or sitting in the
stream, she slips out of one garment
and into another as the bath pro-
ceeds.
