is YOUR MEAT PURE7

While the people of Portland are
being agitated over the impure milk
proposition, It would be well for our
people to look to the quality of meat
they are using. II is of just as vital
Importance that the meat used should
be pure as the milk, and 1t Is likely
that as many deaths are caused by
diseased meats as from impure milk
only II is more difficult to trace
Therefore, why buy your meat where
any question might be raised as to
Its purity? Go where II has been
proven beyond peradventure of a
doubt that only good, wholesome
meats are sold. You owe It TO your
family and you owe 1t to yourself
There Is now more sickness in this
city than ever before, and who can
say that poor meat does not have its
share in this deplorable state OF af.
fairs? There is one market in st.
Johns where you can get the best,
and nothing but the best In the
meat line. That is at BITGOOD &

Good Coal Cheap

The fuel question is one that is
each year receiving more serious con.
sideration. Each year wood is get.
ting little dearer in price or more
inferior in quality. Today wood,
quality considered, costs twice as
much as 1t did four years ago, and
no one can doubt but that conditions
will continue to grow worse as time
goes on. This being true, the COM
ing fuel must be COAL. In the past
IL has been difficult and practically
impossible TO secure good coal except
a. what was considered to be an ex-
orbitant figure. But In order to DEM

their excellent PoTLATCH COAL.
All the usual expenses connected with
the delivery of coal to the consumer
has been pared off this coal. The
profit exacted by the operator. the
wholesaler and the retailer has been
eliminated and the patron gets the
product at bed rock prices. This
can be done because the coal is
mined and sold by the same party.
Within the past month over four hun.
dred sacks have been delivered to diff.
ferent homes on the Peninsula free

sessed all the merits claimed for II.
