good district attorney but with the
law before him and his course pre-
scribed and laid down in black and
white, would have been very much
surprised if, after his experience in
the practice of law, he had failed to
make a good district attorney. In
my opinion, a person may be a good
district attorney but failure as a
Congressman. 1t takes more than
the qualifications necessary and de-
sirable for a good district attorney
to be a good, efficient and conscien-
tious Congressman. Between you
and your opponent, you shall have
my support.

ONE DOLLAR SAVED REPRE-
SENTS TEN DOLLARS EARNED.

The average man does not save to
exceed ten per cent of his earnings.
He must spend nine dollars in living
expenses for every dollar saved. That
being the case he cannot be too
careful about unnecessary expenses.
Very often a few cents properly in
vested, like buying seeds for his
garden, will save several dollars OUT
lay later on. 1t is the same in buy
ing ChamberIain's Collie and Diarr-
hoea Remedy. It costs but few
cents. and a bottle Of 1t In the house

HAVE IT DELIVERED COLD

Importance Of keeping milk cold while
It Is being delivered Is stressed by our
city health department. This Is sub

the consumer. Two men may produce
equally good milk. They may both
keep everything absolutely clean and
the milk. when 1t leaves their diaries,
may have an equally smah number OF
bacteria But II one OF these men keeps
his milk iced while delivering, and the
other does not. the bacterial count when
the milk Is received by the consumer
will vary astonlshingly.
The reason. OF course. is that heat IS
