CITY IMPROVEMENTS
IN SOUTH CANON

A very commendable spirit of munic-
ipal improvement is noticeable in
South Canon, particularly in the sub
stitution of tiling for the small wooden
ridges and culverts. A somewhat
ambitious program has been entered
upon by the present council and the
rule is to do things thoroughly the idea
being based upon permanency rather
than upon cheapness The placing of
three-foot tile in the Crooked ditch
at the top of Pump hill is an illustra-
ton of what is being done. The bridge
at that point was always more or less
dangerous affair and the council wisely
decided upon its demolition and the
substitution of tiling for an open ditch.
Another "modern instance" is to be
seen on New York avenue, where q
wooden culvert has been removed and
two parallel drain pipes, each thirty
six inches in diameter, installed in its
place.
1t is such improvements as these
that help build up a community. They
contribute to the public safety and add
to the value of property.

VERNON ST. JOHN
ADJUDGED INSANE

Vernon st. John, of 1888 Park avenue,
Lincoln Park, was adjudged to be OF
unsound mind in the county court last
Thursday and was taken to the insane
asylum at Pueblo for treatment. Sr.
st. John, who was . trusted and efi-
cient emPloye Of the Canon City Gas
company, was a young man possessing
the esteem and friendship Of all who
knew him and the unfortunate mental
disease from which he is nov suffering
has awakened deep sympathy
throughout the community.
Mr.. st. John was apparently quite
we'll, physically and intellectually, the
first of last week, but day or two
later he manifested Indications OF an
unbalanced mind, which subsequently
developed into an unmistakabie mem
tai arrangement. Mr. St. Johns de-

mentia is particularly noticeable I'm
relation to religious topics and IL 10 to,
his meditation upon subjects Of that
nature that his present trouble is due.
He was always OF pious disposition
and during the recent revival here un-
der the preaching of Evangelist W. A.
Sunday ne became deeply absorbed in
everything that was done and said !.
Since that time he has given biblical
matters the major part Of his thought
and attention and in con sequence, has
become a sort of monamaniac on the
subject of religion.
As it was feared that Mr.. st. John
might do violence to himself or to the
members of his family it was deemed
advisable to take him to the asylum
where he could have that care and at
tention which his case demands. His
friends, and they are legion, hope that
he will soon be restored so his proper
mind and that he will shortly be able
to return to this city and take up his
old position with the gas company. E.

Because, generally speaking price comes first
and quality last, but we have reversed it, and
put quality far above anything else. The people
of the Goth century fast realizing the fact
that to enjoy health and happiness, they must
look to the quality of that which they eat.
When you buy for quality you are looking
after the health and happiness of your home,
well the contents of your pocketbook.
Our prices may seem high to some people who
have had trash put off on them and have only
looked to the price but customers are
