PUREST OF CANDIES

town. Conditions exist in many Of these places
that call for Board Of Health Intervention, the
soyenliness of those who work in them is simply
inexcusable. If people knew where and how
most candies are made they would surely insist
that their children steer clear of the shops that
sell them Churches and other societies owe it to
the children in their charge to buy candies such
as we sell, candies that are made under absolute
~ sanitary conditions and that are free from harm
full Ingredients We are proud to offer our candies
to anyone, because making them ourselves, know
ing exactly what goes into them, we can assure
ourselves and you of their excellence At the same

quote prices that are only matcht by the makers

The average production lis anticipated
at about 100 grams for every kilogram

have value about equal to beeswsx.

a day or so thereafter a friend, call

Langley said he was satisfied. More
guying resulted in an offer from "Old
John" to bet $50 that the cloth cost
more per yard than that in his friends
trousers. The bet was taken and the
tailor was to decide it. Re named the
price. The friend would not believe
that the rough goods could be SO costly
until he was shown the shiny silky
side. Then he paid, as other men had

The instrument is attached directly to
the ventilating shaft by means of a
flexible tube Connected with the device
just below the cover plate. The de-
preston existing in the shaft acts
upon the surface of the glycerine con-
tanned in the vessel surrounding the
central chamber, thereby causing a

Attached to the float Is a beam or

The existing methods of ascertain

unsatisfactory, because of the fiuctu-
