THE MODEL FOOD STORE!
— U growing in popularity every day. Since we first
started the "crusade" for pure food we have gained many new customers.
It is the object of this store to sell only those goods that are known to be
pure and wholesome. And the prices are lower than asked elsewhere. We
invite everyone to come and inspect the Model Food Store where purity
reigns upon a throne of low prices.

As an evidence that lie is not up
to his usnll form, we notice that
Governor Ferguson failed to use
his pet express.on, ' Lund of ilie

proclamation. The expression is
meaningless and absurd, but is
■ ush a favorite with the governor
that we feel that its absence indi-
ca'es that something is wrong.

I Washington, Nov-17 —The examin-
i ation and appraisement of tbe pres-
ents received by Miss A'.ice Rooee-
| velt during her visit to tbe orient has
| begun. The officials at the George-
town custom house have begun to
'open up tbe twentj-^even boxes in
which the presents were shipped and
other souvenirs ot tbe visit which re-
sulted in a social conquest of the far
east by the president's daughter.
Tbe customs official say tbe task is
anything but an easy one owing to
the necessity laid oo them to ap-
praise the goods oo their foreign
commercial value. Only about one-
third ot the boxes have so far been
opened and Collector Nyman and bis
staff are said to be somewhat sur-
prised, as tbe valuation of their con-
tents will exceed scarcely a few
thousand dollars.
Although the presents have laid in
tbe strong room in tbe basement of
the Georgetown postoffice building, in
which tbe custom bouse is located,
for three weeks, guarded ni£bt ^and

them quickly. When the president
