OUR GROCERY STORES.
John M. Gordon says They are with
out Equal.


out equal.
A very hearty endorsement of the char
acter of the city's grocery stores was
given to-day by John NJ. Gordon of New
York. who is stopping at the Her Grand
hotel Mr.. Gordon is one OF the men OF
ideas who have helped to make popularity
for many OF the best known food products,
and being so closely in touch with the gro
Gerry trade. an Endorsement from him Is
worthy OF note.
While discussing the pure food laws, Mr..
Gordon said: 1.-The grocers OF this city
are as a whole, far-sighted business men,
who are employing more business acumen
in the operation of their stores and in the
buying OF pure and wholesome food stuffs
than l have found among many of the
grocers in much larger cities. The stores
are Clean the line OF goods carried is
mostly OF high grade and the-grocery men
do not seem to be OF the kind that practice
the selling of substitutes for the purest and
most wholesome manufactured articles.
II make this statement knowingly. for
am here in the interest Of an extract man
ufacturer and the grocers have seemed glad
of the opportunity to better the quality
OF their stock In this line, There is no
! truer indication of their desire to serve
| the people honestly than is shown in the
purchase OF high grade goods OF this
character because deception I'm the extract
line is easily accomplished and not easily
discovered by the housewife, unless she is
served daily with one OF the brands which
contain poisonous substitutes and is af-
fected thereby.
''Aiy work in the past has been prac-
ticaIly that OF q promoter for l have been
connected with the exploitation OF food
stufkA TO bring their merits particularly
before the attention OF the housewife. and
In that connection l am offering a great
deal Of my best experience to the grocers
OF this city in an effort TO eliminate the
| influence OF the mail order house and TO
largely build up the business OF the local
stores.

Better Stay on a Farm.

The writer was riding in a bug
gy q few days ago in company
with q young man who is working
every day on his fathers. farm.
The young man had his dreams,
for in the coursesof conversation
he told of his desire to, be a ply.
sician. he is u bright young fell
low, and has attended school
enough to have laid the founda-
tion for college course.
Finally he said: "What do you
think of a boys chance on the
farm?n The answer was, Good,
very good, if he will go about to
be a leader; if he will take an
acre Of ground aud make it grow
more pea-vines than all acre ever
grew before. he will be doing
something that is altogether worth
whlle." The young man replied:
.Tbat's 30, and it is such q free
life, even if the work is hard.
Several things have como to
mind since that con versation; the
sumptuous country dinner, for one
thing. II was dinner of tender
turnip salad, baked wild duck,
baked chicken, eggs, butter, but
ternilk, creamy biscuit. canned
peach es and cake. Anyway these
were some Of the articles on the
table in tina. country home. And
it was good! All of i. was good. II
is impossible to forget to bring
in the question of good, whole.
some food, pure water and pure
air in this question of staying on
the farm or of leaving it for the
life of the physician. Better stay
on the farm. In the long run II

A man who does not love his
work, official or otherwise, and
who does lot conscientiously put
his whole heart and soul into that
work, is unfit for that position or
calling, regardless of the salary
paid him. Honesty to ones self,
and honesty to the public conf
dence demands true and earnest
effort. With the exception of iu-
rors and witnesses, no one, in this
free land of ours, is conscripted
into any kind of public >rvice;
hence much of the to about
small salaries, indulge occe-

ent. The man always seeks the
Office or position. The position
does not run itself out of breath
