RIVERSIDE LAUNDRY
1877 Water ST., Gardiner

Two strong arguments in favor of
the laundry work done at Riverside
Laundry is the speciality made of
hand ironing and the excellent condi-
ton that your washing is returned to
YOU in. Good laundering doesn't hap
pen. It's the result of steady deter
mined effort along correct lines. A.
Oschner turns out good work which
he has learned the public demands
and why not patronize the best? Not
the roughly washed, poorly ironed,
torn-button hole kir.l; but every
piece fresh. sweet and clean. For
those women who do not like the
music of the washboard, the River
side Laundry will take away the
worry and fret over wash day at a
very low cost. Out of town laundry
is handled by parcel post and return
ed, charges prepaid.

perhaps, the worst experienced here
for many years, so late in the sea-
son. At sunset Tuesday there SEEM
ed to be little if any, indications of
even frost. Early in the night, how
ever, a heavy rain fell, accompanied
by high wind, and an almost unpre-
cedented drop in temperature. and
the people awcic yesterday me rning
to find that a hard freeze was on
hand, and as this is being written the
snow stern that has been on all
morning, is still falling To al! sp-
pearances, there is nothing in the
way Of fruit or early vegetables that
escaped, and it is reasonable to sup
pose that the small grain crop in the
county is seriously damaged The
leaves on the trees, in the. early
morning, seemed to be killed. How
ever, some fthe more optomistic
think we will still have fruit, but if
we do, it is an evident fact that freez
ing will not kill it.

TYPHOID CHICKENS

In many sections you often hear
tn ecomplaint that they can not raise
chickens because of Cholera. Foul
typhoid appears very much like chol-
era, and is often confused with it.
If you have sickness to any con-
siderable extent l would be glad if
you could communicate with me in
regard to the matter. If any Of your
chickens die and you are not sure
of the cause you should open the bird
and examine the liver; if it is larger
than it should be and appears dark
the cause of the death is probably
typhoid. In this case I should be
glad to know about it.
