PRICES OF CAKES AND CRACKERS
CUT

announced announcer cut III luS P1lCSi
of all kinds of crackers and cakes
which are sold by merchants in al
parts of the country. About seventy
Der cent of the advance on crackers
and cakes which was made during the
war, has been cut away by this last
reduction. The merchants are buying
these cakes and crackers at the new
prices each week and the public is en-
titled to the reduced prices now. A
representative of the National Biscuit
Company handed a notice to this ef-
feet into this Office last Monday for
public information. This is not an
advertisement for that company, or
any of the dealers who sell crackers
and cakes, but is printed for the in
formation of the people. The mer-
chants of Milford who sell such goods
do not advertise them or any other
kind of merchandise which may ac-
count for the limited business so many
of them are presiding over. They lack
either the ability to conduct public
ity campaign for themselves, or the
knowledge as to how to go about max
ing advertising pay. The people will
buy if the proposition is put up to
them in the right way. The cost of
crackers and cakes has been reduced.

EVERY FARMER is responsible /
for results to agriculture just accord
ing to his ability to perform the duties I
which go with farming. If disease
starts in the animals of the farm, it
is the farmers duty TO himself and the
public to take every precaution against
the spread of that disease. II is his
duty to let the fact be known, that
fatal disease is prevailing among his
stock, or that it exists in a stage
which might become epidemic, unless
proper precaution is taken 90 check ;
it's spread. The legislature creates
laws and supplies the means to check t
and eradicate disease in horses, cat !
tie and hogs as well as poultry-but /
the laws and means provided will not I
of themselves stop the trouble or cure '
the disease. It is necessary for the t
farmer himself, for his own protec- c
tion as well as the public welfare, to S
take prompt steps to put the laws in
to effect. A telephone call. to de- r
partment or an official will bring aid b
at once. Self interest should cause "a
every person to take action to prevent u
loss of valuable property, which could e
be saved-or at least very large per g
cent could be saved, by taking advan- C.
tage of what the law provides. a

THAT HOSPITALS ARE NO LONG u

tanned by private contributions is a -
truth which is getting recognition in -

We have believed that hospitals should .
be partially sustained by the state for "a

ouches every important phase of our

orne by the city and paid for through Fri
axation, each citizen bearing his pro- ing
