things about your home city do
not forget the important part the
hardy settlers who are opening up
and developing the adjacent ag-
ricultural sections are doing for
advancement of the town and the
importance of their work to the
future stability and prosperity Of
Virginia. The development of the
northern section is a surprise to
one who has not kept in touch with
the work being done.

Club last night by telling them 1t
was well nigh impossible to prac-
tice deception under the regulations
of the new Pure Food law. He gave
the -four men this advice:
Don't emphasize too freely that a
product is "a brain food; too many
of use have swollen heads already.
Don't insist on your products be-
ing nerve foods: most Americans
have nerve enough.
Don't insist too much that they
enrich the blood; all cereals do this,
and, hope. enrich the manufacture
er.
Don't advertise superior muscle
properties; all breakfast cereals make
muscle, and perhaps more than we
need i'm these days of trolley cars and
elevators.
Don't above all. compare your
product with bread to the disparage-
ment of the latter because cereals,
may come and cereals may go. but
bread goes down forever"

Bank Building Burns at Eokman.

The First State bank build

the ground on the evening of
December 10.
The fire was discovered about
six o'clock by VIM. Dahlquist,
the cashier, who with his fami-
ly lived back of the bank.
George Cooper, the assistant
cashier, was just returning
from the postof6ce with the
mail and at once began putting
the books and money in the
big safe and succeeded in saw
ing most all the valuables. but
was almost overcome with
smoke and heat. But few ar
ticles of furniture were saved
from the Dahlquist apartments
and all the clothing of the
of the family was destroyed.
For a time it was feared that
the Goldberg store would catch
fire and thus make certain the
destruction of all the buildin gs
on the east side of Main street.
The bank will continue busi-
ness in the VIM. Thomas i'm

lansford Now Burning Natural Gas.

Lansford is now burning nat
ural gas. The Journal says:
Tuesday night just as the
500 passenger train pulled into
Lansford the gas was turned
on at the reducer near the mill
and the flame shot skyward.
1t was a beautiful sight and a
great crowd of people gathered
about it, many Of them exper-
fencing their first look at nat
ural gas burning. The pas
sengers and trainmen on the
train were much interested in
the demonstration and up the
line that night everyone who
got onto the cars were told that
Lansford was burning natural
gas"
"On Wednesday evening the
connections with the gas office
in this city had been made and
the stoves lighted up. Again
great crowds gathered to see
the gas utilized for heating.
A little, flat ordinary looking
stove threw out more heat than
a great big, ,overgrown hard
coal heater"
The pressure at the Bales
we'll is ~ pounds, at the re-
ducer at the Lansford mill, So
pounds. In a little over three
months from the time of dis
covery, natural gas is burnin g
in Lansford. The business men
who are back of the project are
hustlers and deserve lots of
credit.
