Experience has repeatedly demonstarted the
value of a Medicinal Atomizer in treating any ir
regular condition of the mouth, throat or nose.

has there been so many gardens as there will
he this year. Prevailing high prices for all
foodstuffs induces every household to utilize every
foot of ground for garden purposes. Nobody can
have a good garden without shovels, hoes, rakes, etc.,
to properly prepare and keep the soil in a condition
to secure a maximum yield. Bear in mind that this
store has a large supply of garden tools as good as
made and don’t forget to buy them here. We also
