"sav it with Flowers" is phrase
that has come, within recent years
to have a world of significance.
There is no occasion, anniversary Or
event for which there is not some
appropriate flowers or floral design
that will adequately and emphatically
carry the message the sender intends
to convey. And in saying it with
flowers, the message reaches the heart
of the recipient through the inner
senses Of perception and feeling.
The florist, grower Of flowers and
other plants of various description
who has good taste and discrimlna-
ting judgement, can prepare his de-
signs in such manner as to convey
the exact shade Of meaning to fit the
occasion.
In Alexandria a foremost member
of this craft is Mr.. C. Ponnet, who IS
head of the company bearing his name
and whose store in this city Is sit
uated at 921 King street. In addition
to this store, where there is always
magnificent display of the pro-
ducts of the greenhouses of c. Ponnet
& Co, there are maintained in Wash
ington stands at So street and Cen
ter Market. The greenhouses are
located with offices at 2012 Duke street.
Here nursery stock of all kinds and
a great variety of flowers are grown
at all seasons Of the year. The green
houses are modern in every detail Of
equipment and the products are Of the
sturdy type. From six to eight help
ers are given employment in this bust
ness. which has grown steadily in
popularity and volume during the five
years of its existence. Special designs
are made by skilled hands for all oc-
cassions. The store is owned by Mr..
Ponnet and one big truck and one
wagon are maintained for delivery
service.
Mr.. Ponnet has lived in Alexandria
about forty years and is one of the
leading citizens. He is progressive
enterprising business man of broad
vision and great public spirit and is
an advocate of all things beneficial
to Alexandria as whole. He is amog
the supporters Of the "White Way"
movement.

THE IDEAL SHOE REPAIRING
COMPANY
Modern Electrically Operated Mach
iaery, Capacity 1000 Pairs, Nearly
400 Pairs Repaired Weekly

Lengthening the life of shoes IS
the aim of one of AleXandria's most
modernly equipped business establish
ments-that of the Ideal Shoe Repair
ing Company at 1901 King street.
This bushes established three years
ago is possessed of such equipment
as the cobbler known to song and
story never dreamed.
Electrically driven machinery which
operates the tools Of the shoemaker's
craft at speed and with an accuracy
and efficiency that has been made pos
sible only by the advance Of science
and invention is possessed in the Ideal
shop. Four expert shoe repair mon
are employed under the direction OF
the proprietors of the business
Messrs. William 3. Snyder and Har-
vey L. Ticer-and each job turned
out, however quickly, carries with it
guarantee of satisfaction to the
patron.
The feathers and other materials,
including rubber heels and soles, the
pegs the cords, etc, are all of the
highest quality and are possessed of
a durability that assures long wearing
and serviceablc qualities in each COM
pleted job. With the machinery at
hand repair jobs can be turned out in
surprisingly short time. The average
output in these dull times of the shop
is $50 pairs Of shoes week, although
the plant has capacity of 1000 of
pairs.
Mr. Harvey l. TIGER is member of
the Red Men, the Junior Order of AM
erican Mechanics, and is a native Of
Alexandria.
NJ. William B. Snyder, joint owner
of the Ideal shop with Mr.. TIGER, also
is a we'll known and popular citizen.
The combination made by these two
progressive business men is one which
means much to the advancement of
King street as business center. Both
are ardent advocates of the projected
white way" and are enthusiastic sup
porters of various other movements
looking to the general progress and
general welfare of the community.

TWEEN liquid nourishments. Persons
inexperienced in the care Of the sick
frequently make the mistake of
bringing water only when the pa
tient asks for it instead of giving it
at regular intervals just as nourish-
ment is given. When water IS drunk
with food. care should be taken to
see that the food is chewed thor
cughly before being swallowed IN
stead Of being washed down with the
water.
Many acute illnesses begin with
fever, headache, sore throat, and
specially among children. with vonl-
iting, diarrhoa and other digestive
disturbances. In such cases all food
should be withheld until the doctor
comes. but boiled water, either hot
or cold, should be given freely. Eff
forts to tempt the appetite at such
a time are mistaken; few people are
injured and man benefited by omit
ting food even for 81 hours at the
beginning of an acute illness, and
with few exceptions doctor can be
found in shorter time than this and
can then prescribe the kind Of diet
the patient should have.

T A PIPES OF
PLANT
TO BE CHAINED UP

The work Of repairing the intake
pipes OF the Grand Forks filtration
plant is progressing very satisfactorily,
as is Also the work in the filtering
basins. according to Commissioner F.
w. S~chlaberg. 1t was fondu that the
intake pipes in the Red Lake river
ahd settled into the sand, and be-
came clogged. which interfered with
the intake flow OF water. These have
been removed and cleaned.
1t was also found that about 500
feet of these pipes could be per.na-
nently removed, Is they were placed
in the river at the time the sawmiii
was in operation. and had to be e1-
tended up the river to avoid sawdust
piles in the river bed. This pile OF
sawdust has been gradually washed
down the river. and therefore the
water can be taken closer to the
mouth of the Red Lake river.
To prevent further ciosging OF sand
in the intake pipes. piles are being
driven in the river bottom. to which
the pipes will be chained TO prevent
settling into the sand.
