not be improved.
The analysis by the state board o
health shoas II to contain nothing inlur
ious to health-a high recommendation
thereby complying with the pure foot
law.

each wrapped separately in waxed paper
also four tiavors in every tive-cent box.
Only the best and costliest fiavoring ex
tracts are used, one Of which, the swee
orange, is a high priced flavor that
made in Messlna, Italy, and imported Il
copper cans.
Orders for gum have already been re
ceived and the company expects in ley
weeks to keep several people busy wrap
ping and packing.
