At first thought this alarm is justified, but there is a panacea for high prices in the food line. PURE MILK is the solution. 'Ask your family physician about the food values of clean milk, and then compare our prices of $2.50 per month for a quart daily of our clarified milk with other foods and you will dis cover that You Should Worry About Skyrocketing Prices "When you can get better food than beefsteak, eggs, flour and the whole category all in one foodstuff MILK.

In Liverpool there is a man fam ous for his calmness on every oc casion. One day he strolled leisurely into the office of a friend. "I've just had a chat with your wife," he began.

To hover in the sulphur smoke, To ward away the battle stroke, And bid its blendings shine, afar, Like rainbows in the shrowd of war, The harbingers of victory! Flag of the krave; thy fold shall fly, The sign of hope and triumph high, Whtn speaks the signal trumpet tone, And the long line comes gleaming on, Ere yet the life-blood, warm and wet, Has dimmed the glistening bayonet, Each soldier eye shall brightly turn To where the sky-born glories burn, And, as his springing steps advance, Catch war and vengeance from the glance. And when the cannon-mountings loud Heave in wild wreaths the battle shroud, And gory sabers rise and fall Like shoots of flame on midnight's pall, . . 1 Then shall thy meteor glances glow, And cowering foes shall slink be neath, Each gallant arm that strikes below That lovely messenger of death. Flag of the Sea! on ocean wave Thy stars shall glitter o'er the brave; When death .careening on the gale, Sweeps darkly round the bellied sail, And frighted waves rush wildly back Before the broadside's reeling rack, Each dying wanderer of the sea Shall look at once to heaven and thee, And smile to see thy splendor fly In triumph o'er his closing eye. Flag of the free heart's hope and home! By angel hands to valor given; Thy stars have lit the welkin dome, And all thy hues were born in heaven, Forever float that standard sheet t Where breathes the foe but falls before us.

SICK WIFE'S STORY SURPRISES LA GRANDE. Tho following has surprised La Grande: A business man's wife suf fered from dyspepsia arid constipation for years. Although she dieted she was so bloated her clothes would not fit. One spoonful buckthorn bark, glycerine, etc., as mixed in Adlor-i-ka relieved her instantly. Because Ad-ler-i-ka empties both large and small intestine it relieves any case consti pation, sour stomach or gas and pre vents appendicitis. It has quickest action of anything wo ever sold.
