means of money orders which are absolutely
safe, and can be ootaine'd at any office 9f the

an order for $50 is but 20 cents, and amounts
from $5 upwards may be sent at proportionate
rates. These orders are payable at 15,000 places
in -Canada and the United States, and are prac-

who has been jockeyed out of his right
