Let Us Get Together.

Now Brother, Sister, we are talk
ing to YOU. We are satisfied that If
it Is Furniture, Carpets, Pictures and
Frames, Cooking or Heating Stoves,
Trunks or anything else that this store
has in stock that you want or need,
it Is to your interest and ours that we
get together. You are ready to admit,
we are sure, that you do not know
whether our wares meet your ideas as
10 what you want unless you call and
examine them with your own eyes,
and that you do not know whether
our prices are as high as others I'M
til you have heard with your own
ears. We are confident that both our
goods and prices will please you, and
we say this because we rarely ever
fail to make sales to persons who come
to see us after they inspect our lines
and hear prices, and we do not be-
lieve that you would be an excep-
tion. Any way it will not take great
deal of your time to look us up and
ascertain whether or not your inter-
ests will be advanced by bestoHing
your patronage on this store. If you
are not satisfied, of course, we could
not expect your patronage, and be-
sides we would not want 1t, as we
know by experience that no store can
have more valuable asset than sat-
ished customers.

Merit is Forced

To travel O rough road sometimes
but it never falls to win In the end.
This truth applies in an eminent de-
gree to our experience with the cele-
brated Summers Buggy. Before we
commenced to handle these famous
vehicles here they had never before
been offered to the people Of this sec
ton, and we were warned that owing
TO this fact and the fact that they
were higher in price than the people
had been educated to pay, etc., they
would not sell. We felt that we knew
the people and KNEW that We KNEW
the Summers Buggy. We are now in
position to truthfully say that our eX-
pectations have been more than real
lied, owing to the fact that the people
have become convinced that the Sum-
mers Buggy Is not only the BEST, but
the CHEAPEST BUGGY they have
ever been offered in this section when
style, comfort, durability, etc., are TAX
en- into account. and for this reason 1t
now sells itself. Can give you any
shade or color, or any style Of spring
you want. Have other Buggies, and
Harness, too.

Rev. j. NJ. Wilder. of the Metho-

9th or 10th of the month. lie bears
the reputation of being an able man
and of having done good work at his
former charge.
Rev. Wilder aud family will leave

which will probably be within Il
week. As stated In last weeks is

preliminary electrolysis for eliminat
ing the oxygen of the oXychloride
formed in boiling down the solution
of zinc chloride. Steinhart has pro-
posed to evaporate the solution of
zinc chloride under Il vacuum, in
order to produce the neutral an
hydrous chloride, but Ashcroft and
Swineburne have not followed that
method, having found that with eau
tious boiling down there is not much
oxygen in the final result
The current efficiency in the elec-
trolysis of the molten zinc chloride
Is very high. The watts are very sim
pie, being merely iron cases lined
with fire brick. The zinc chloride
soaks into the porous brick and
solidities somwehere. so that 1t is
really vat with zinc chloride walls.
The watts are internally heated, as in
the case of aluminium smelling. The
cathode is fused zinc and the anode
Is carbon. Some makes of carbon do
not stand we'll. but suitable carbons
stand permanently; chlorine has no
action on the carbons. The watts are
kept under IA very light suction so
tina If there are any leaks the air goes
in instead of chlorine coming out.
The carbons do not become heated
enough to he burned by this small
admission of air. Since the watts are
heated by the excess of electric
power over the chemical, the larger
the cell the lower the elcctromotive
force. so that IL the cell were large
enough, the electromotive force
might he reduced to the point cor
responding to the heat of formation
of zinc chloride mt that temperature.
