the collectors remove the contents
of the cans already out. 1t is a

"HERE comes the candle to light

without electricity or even gas. Such
is the case Of resort on the Jersey

There can be had extra thick candles,

would give better light and last longer.
They sell for ten cents apiece. They are

for trips to the cellar.
IL is well-known fact that many
