stufYs be confined between tho hours Of
s am. and PM. and that sales be
restricted to six days a week. We are
In favor of all stores and shops SELL
ing groceries in any form restricted

ton at an early date"
1t Is explained that 'it would be
difficult to suggest any hard and fast
rule concerning deliveries because Of

urged. however. the grocers should use
every effort to minimize their &C.

quired to report in their periodical
statements of condition to this office
the money In their vaults under the
following heads:
Gold coin.
