DRINKING

we are sorry to say, is sometimes sllh- ply a habit, and very costly haplt' too. because when you drink lhe nefarious intoxicants your pocket SUI fers first, those dependent on your earnings suffer second, your health which is your happiness and Wealtn in this world suffers thirdly, ana your creditors suffer fourthly, and so on. It would take whole column to meh- ton all the unhappiness lntoxlcahts cause. We'll, it's almost as bad and injurious to be compelled to drink poor cheap, trashy, bad tasting quality tea and coffee. We wish to say to those people who claim they do not like tea or coffee to give the quality we sell inst one trial-that's the time you Il hear them say that drinking is not habit. but truly a necessity, because the kind we sell is the clean, new sea son, high grade quality, but low Ill price, always palatable and real good tonic for both brain and nerves. Our coffee is a real good bracer in the morning, and we sell butter at 2oc per pound that's worth 30c. We have se cured one more large lot of 14-quart bread raisers and we are giving one with each pound of our warranted good quality baking powder, 4o per pound If you drink buttermilk De- cause you like it or if the doctor orders you to drink it, remember we have It fresh every day and all it costs you IS % per glass or 3c per quart when you carry it home from
