EMPTY CIGAR
BOXES FOR DISPLAY

Some time ago an article OF interest
to tobacco dealers went the rounds OF
tue press relating to the law prohibit
ing the use Of dummies" with label
led fronts for purposes of display.
There Was some doubt as to the intent
of the law or just how far the term
dummies" which is generally un-
derstood TO imply pasteboard or imita-
tion hoxes. might be made to include
empty cigar boxes, which were not
supposed to be under the ban and are
often usei for display. In order to
learn the ruling on~the matter VI. H.
Schram the other day wrote S. f.
Penman, Internal Revenue Collector
for the Twelfth District, and on Satur-
day recei?ed the following reply, which
vii clear up all doubt:

is permitted to do SO, but in case he

Meet With Generous Response.


Hon. James Foster, Chairman OF the
Soldiers Monument Committee, yester-
day stated that the solicitors are re-
porting very satisfactory progress. At
least one more additional large sub
scription is in sight, while the masses
are responding in way that reflects
we'll upon their liberality and patriot
ism.
The solicitors. it seems, have been
the most active in the Third Ward
where canvassing is nearly completed.
1t is this ward which seems to form q
criterion, nearly every person ap-
preached subscribing something. All
that is required is for the people OF
the other wards to do as we'll and the
Soldiers Monument will be assured.
In the Second aud Fourth Wards the
solicitors have not carried the work so
far, but the results have been most
gratifying. In the First Ward the
solicitors have done the least work,
but MI. Foster states that from now
on the committee will push canvassing &
and the residents Of this part Of town
may expect to be called upon during
the present week or next.
