This to be True!

Haven’t you found this to be trus--that one batch ‘of. flour will ;

give you certain results but that the next time you: bought the
same brand your reaulte would be quite different. Now, the
big flour companies employ chemists to see’ that their flours :
are kept to a constant standard, Druga, like flours, may be
thoroughly pure but of a variable standard, :Think what this
means in the effectivenesa of your doctor’s prescrepticns.

Ormes buy their drugs only from manufacturers
who-guarantee that their products are not, only 100
per cent. pure, but that their strength is as unvary-
ing as the daily round of the sun,

Word comes from the camps of the
two political parties that the candi-
dntes aye both confident of a complete
yletory on July ‘18, The lenders of
the parties are also confident of. vic-
tory. That is part of the game.

It was a ‘anillion dollar rein that hit
the Northern Interior the end of last
week and continued this week, The
crops in the farming communities had
a zero appearance and still golug down
but the big thunder from. the political
speakers roused the weather man and
got him on the job again.

If the Hagwilget bridge is closed ac-
cording to notice (July 10) there will
be a lot of people from the mines and
on the north side of the river who will
have a long trip in order to cast their
vote here. Possibly there may be
another delay for a few days. To be
closed six months seems quite a long
time when one is looking ahead.

it may be too late to suggest {t now
but the old time joint political meet-

-{ings provided considerable fun for the

peaceful citizens. But as there are a

‘|few who cannot stand any opposition

s0 the many have to give way for the
benefit of the few.
