CHOICE CANDY.
Now to Be Had at Sims Grocery-WeI
Known Store About to Establish
New Department.

Sims Grocery, one of the more pro-
gressive retail stores Of the city, is
about to open new department-one
that is bound to be appreciated by the
stores many patrons for it is to con-
sist of complete stock of choice
candies.
The management of this enterpriSing
store has figured on the opening of this
department for some time for they be-
lieved that the department was one
that would dovetail quite handily with
the other lines carried. The only thing
that delayed matters was the search
for the right candy market; they had
no desire to start the department off
half cooked as it were; they appre-
ciated the fact that success in candy
selling comes when only the best goods
to be had on the market are handled
and sold.
Most satisfactory arrangements have
been made with one of the best known
candy houses in the Northwest, nence
the announcement of the opening OF
their candy department.
Are you a judge of pure corrections?
Have you sweet tooth that Graves the
cordial invitation to visit their new de-
partment They are confident their
offerings will please in more ways than
one; please as to quality; also in re-
gard to the popular prices you will be
asked to pay.
For instance, one feature this de-
partment purposes to inaugurate right
at the start is the selling of the best
hand made Chocolate Creams and
French Mixed Candies at 80 cents a
pound But only on three days Of the
week will these prices prevail They
will be specials for Thursdays, Fridays
and Saturdays and don't forget the
days.
If you believe the best is none too
good in CONNECTIONS, try Sims the next
time.

the average Ionite is not partial 10

Policemen Kept Busy
Hunting the Missing
Over Seventy Disappearance Reported to the
Washington Department Since June %.
Forty of Those Absent Are Children

over seventy disappearances since the
2Sth of June. This might appear start
ling to the public who are not in touch
with the workings Of the Police Depart
ment of this city, but as matter of
fact these are not unusual figures for
this space of time. OF the seventy per
sons who have disappeared about TWEEN
ty have been marked up as having been
returned to their homes. The other fifty
are unaccounted for so far as the police
are informed. Some may have been
found, but as they have not notified the
police they are still on the books of the
department as missing.
OF the seventy persons marked missing
over forty are children under the age of
eighteen The police say that the read
ing of cheap novels has more TO do with
the disappearance of young girls and
boys than anything else.
OF the large number of persons missed
every month a comparatively small
number are colored. The reason for this
as ascribed by the police Is that the
majority do not pay much attention to
the absence of one of their number.
Many colored people disappear every
day only TO return at some future
period.
