Adv. Contains Genuine Bargains

If every merchant in the city were
doing as much as Fristoe & Rummler
are doing to bring down the high
cost of living, quite a good deal
would be accomplished along that
line as is evidenced by the prices
quoted in the firms large advertise
ment on page six of this issue. Fris-
toe and Rummler have from the first
reduced their prices as fast as pos
sible and were always ahead of mer-
chants in larger cities in these re-
auctions. Their advertising has been
honest and consistent and has class
ed them with the leading clothing
dealers of the state. In addition to
this it has proven them to be able to
back up their advertising with high
class goods at prices always as low
or lower than other firms were charg-
ing for goods not as dependable. Fris-
toe & Rummler's store is teeming
with bargains at an unusual time
this year and a glance at their adj

Work of Hotel INSPECTOR

W F. Lawrence, hotel inspector
for the Maine State Department of
Health. has just completed an in
spection tour along the coast from
Kittery Point to Bar Harbor during
which $50 hotels were visited and 20
certificates issued. These certificates
indicate tkat the hosiery holding
one has been given a clean bill of
health by the inspector and assures
any guest who may see it displayed
that the hotel is a safe place in which
to spend a vacation. Mr.. Lawrence
will now proceed To the Rangeley
Lakes district TO inspect the camps
and hotels there.
Generally along the coast, the
summer hotels were found to be in
good condition. satisfactory for the
accommodation of thousands of
summer guests who have hocked to
them during the past season. In
several places, Improvements sug-
gested by the inspector last season
have been carried out and have re-
suited in the granting of a certifi-
cate this year.
w lille the taking out of a certif-
icate. which must be purchased at

Mr.. Lawrence Wednesday. hotel
men are coming TO realize that this
certificate means more business for
them and Increased security that
Maine will continue to be a vaca-
ton land
The public is coming to under
stand that a certain sanitary stand
ard must be maintained by hotels if
they are to be safe places in which
to stay and are coming more and
more to look for the certificate as a
guarantee that they have chosen a
clean and wholesome hosiery" con-
tinued Mr.. Lawrence.
Another matter which Mr.. Law
renee has tried to impress upon no.
tel men this summer is that if a hotel
has an established patronage and
the proprietor feels that the certif-
cate is of no value to him. it is none
the less to his interest to encourage
the inspection work. as a neighboring
hotel which is unsanitary NAV be
the cause of an outbreak of disease
which will brand the community as
