The captured positions are more

over the State that the voters ar
taking little interest in the cam-'
paign this year and there is some
fear that there will be a heavy

on account of the new pi mary

Infected Milk Causes Typhoid.
Seventy-six out of eighty-seven
cases of typhoid fever, which
occurred in a recent outbreak
have been traced by the United
States Public Health Service to
infected milk. Had the first
cases been been reported to a
trained health officer the out
break could have been stamped
out promptly. When will we
learn that disease prevention is
sure and cheap?

Young mhn will find in HIGH
ART CLOTHES every essential
which constitutes the difference between mere
wearing apparel and a wardrobe of distinction.
The fact that so many college
men prefer HIGH ART CLOTHES
to others is substantial testimony to the snap
of their styles.
They are serviceable and their
price is but second consideration.
Call and see them.
