Sometimes a man has so many irons
in the fire that -he can't get any.(of

An important question: --Is the pres-
ent discord among the churches sav-
ing many ,sinners ?
Oaatario has twenty-four _ citkes.
Eighteen of ;diose have but one news-
paper. Only two cities with a popula-
tion, of less thaxr fifty thousand have
more than one newspaper.
Speaking of anti -freeze, time was
when you could tell by the smell whet -

institution. They are always expect-
ed and :Heady to assiist in any enter-
prise that may bre helpful to the com-
munity. Notwith,standittng all this, a
great many of their customers look
upnn thew as their financial agent and
do not hestiitaele to ask the business'

due Bane, remove from wreckage, place
in a black satin lined box, and garn-
