signal.
At the appearance of Sore Throat the
first thought should be its quick cure.
Don't regard it lightly-don't think it
may be gone tomorrow. An hours de-
lay enay bring fatal results.
What good doctor in his practice now
advises delay or thinks lightly of any
Sore Throat, especially in children!
Modern medication wisely endeavors
to quickly control and cure the simpler
forms of disease-it's 80 much easier
and so much safer than waiting for the
graver diseases to follow.
1t is right here and in this way that
TONSILINE has its greatest value.
Tonsiline will positively cure the Sore
Throat and thereby prevent the dread
disease-Diphtheria. ~5

THE CREAMERY WHISTLE

With regard tO the change in time in Tempe which goes into effect on the first, the creamery has concluded to adjust the new arrangement in this manner: The first whistle will be blown in the morning at seven o'clock;
 the second at 1925. and the third five minutes later when a majority of the men go to work. at 7:30 The noon whistle for quitting work will blow at i2:30. and again at one. for at this season Of the year the men only take half an hour noon. The whistle for quitting work in the evening". for the present. will blow at 5:3O. This % says Mir Cook. the superintendent. while conforming to the new tune will not change the hours of beginning or quitting work. therefore none need be afraid they are going to be blown out of bed half hour earlier than usual !" This schedule of whistles will be print ed again in a few days together with the table of post office hours and train departure in handy form for clipping.
