FOURTH OF JULY REST ROOM.
Provided by the Peoples Warehouse
The Parish House.

To provide resting place for Its
patrons on the Fourth the Peoples
Warehouse has secured the use Of
the Parish House. the old Episcopal
church building, for that day. The
place will be fitted UP with seats and
other accommodation that will make
1t a desirable place for those who
wish to rest during the intervals of
the program on the day.
Owing to the fact that there is no
park or other public resting place in
the city, such rest rooms as the above
provide the only places where wo-
men and children may find seats on
such occasions as the Fourth. Last
year the celebration committee pro-
vlded a number of rest rooms
throughout the city, and they were
much appreciated.

The big boy suit makes the young
