SLIPPERY SIDEWALKS
Man Who "Saw Stars' Gives His Opinion
 About Cleaning.

''Is anybody tending to the side walks this year" inquired citizen of a Democrat reporter this morning By jove," he continued, 'I came near breaking my neck yesterday on a slippery walk. 1 came down like a log and for a time I could discern nothing but stars. This shouldn't be so. I don't care who does this work but I do say that it should receive prompt attention from some one. It is more important to keep the side walks in proper condition during this kind of weather than it is to care for the streets. I think it would be q good plan to tell the superintendent of streets to let the trolley company look after the streets during the winter months and let him devote all his time to cleaning and sanding walks all over town" This may sound nonsenicaL but in time it will come to that and municipalities never will have what they ought to have in the matter of sidewalks until they take hold of them and see that they are properly lai1. cleaned and repaired. ~ -e- -

Our aim is always to handle the best of goods and sell them at the lowest possible margin. We make special effort at Christmas time to cut into that mar gin which you will readily see by looking over our price list carefully. There is one thing sure-our goods are honest no matter what price you pay. Cut the price list out of the pa- per and save it fol. further reference.

Weather Just Right For Women and Children

This was a lively day about town. The weather was all that could have heen desired for this season and many took advantage of It to come out ana take a peep at the Christmas display of the merchants. They were well re- paid for their trouble and from now on regardless Of weather conditions one can spend an hour or so to good advantage taking in the sights in the show windows. The women folks should make 1T a point 10 bring ahe little ones into the center in the day time when things look their prettiest. notwithstanding the fact that some claim that there is nothing to show a window display like electricity.

CHRISTMAS S

will be here right on time this year al though it doesn't seem one year ago since we made so many people happy by presenting each purchaser of our nice tasting, fine quality Tea or Cof- fee with beautiful souvenir calendar
 Of course we will do likewise this year. Watch for them next week. And remember your Christmas square meal" will not be what it should be if you do not have some nice tasting tea or coffee to drink and the kind we sell will i'll the bill all right. You may also bear in mind that our tea and coffee not only tops off your Christ mas square" but it helps out just the same on the other 364 days in the year and if you doubt us all you have got to do is to buy some at our store and pay the same price you pay the other fellow and see how much nicer the quality that we sell is. Say, last week a man told the writer of this ad that he ''swore off" drinking Sny intoxi- cants on January 1, 1905. and has used only our tea and coffee in his house ever since and he says be has no de sire to break out any more. He also says he thinks that it was the bad tasting tea and coffee that they used to buy elsewhere that sent him to drinking intoxicants but ever since they bought their drinks at our store he has no use for the other stuff and happiness and good health prevail. Remember you get bars of warrant ed good soap with each pound of our guaranteed nice tasting tea; crystal glass pickle dish with pound of our nice fresh roasted coffee pure or mix ed) and 14-qt bread raiser or well made sled with a pound of our Bak- ing Powder, 45 cents per pound. at
