Satisfaction
THERE is probably nothing that impercep
tibly varies more in its contents than
Nature's drinking water. Every drop has
the tendency to absorb something either gaseous
or solid.
Distillation is a natural process. It is the with
drawal of foreign matter for which the water has
had an affinity. We drink water to cleanse our
bodies, to absorb and carry away the impurities. If
this drinking water is already loaded with more or
less foreign matter, how can it do its work properly?
As a solution, science has given us PUROCK, a
pleasant drinking water - the means to health.
Purock Water is delivered to
offices and homes in sterilized,
sealed glass bottles. Six large
bottles or a five-gallon demijohn,
50 cents.
Order cm. in tattl. If th sratar

To Our Patrons and Well-Wishers
It is in times of trouble that friends prove
themselves friends and we take this occasion of
heartily thanking1 our many well-wishers for
the sympathy extended us in our recent mis
fortune. Though the fire devastated our establish
ment, it is the inconvenience caused our pa
trons, rather than our own loss, which gives us
most concern.
Everything possible is being done to
straighten out matters as expeditely as pos
sible, and all claims will be adjusted in the near
future.
Meanwhile we beg your continued indulgence for the
delay, and thank you for your present consideration

ONE year ago, under the pressure of war necessities., he public -was
jrequested to refrain from aU'oinnecessary travel, and under the stress
of war .conditions, the public was necessarily subjected to .a .great deal of
inconvenience when it did have to travel.
Now the war necessity is passed and 'it is the settled policy of theliail
road Administration to do everything reasonably within its power to
facilitate passenger travel and to make it more attractive.
In' furtherance of this policy, the Railroad Administration is entering
upon a moderate program of advertising, to remind the people of the'
extraordinary opportunities for sight-seeing and for pleasure-seeking
which our country aSbrds the National Parks, the seashores, the lqTrrt,
the .mountains, the "woods, and the .many "places of historic interest.
The vacation season is approaching, and the time is at iiand to plan
fara changeiof scene, for rest and recreation. It-will be the effort of tho .
Railroad Administration to aid in such planning -and to make your
travel arrangements convenient and satisfying.
Thetaff of the United States.Railroad Administration willlse ciffl to
furnish, illustrated booklets and provide necessary Uiformatianxis to fares,
train service, etc. Such information maybe obtained irom trirlnrVTiplrrt
