protected furs and woolens

It will cost but little to
use thorn , there's no telling
what it will cost not to use
them.

The people of Woodlake and
surrounding country are congratu
lating themselves that Dr. Ford ,
recently of Colorado , has decided
to locate here. The Doctor has
had 20 years experience in the
practice of medicine. Mr. Sageser ,
proprietor of the Lake View hotel ,
says I knew the Doctor 20 years
ago and at that time he was my
family physician. I can vouch
for his ability. The Doctor has
already demonstrated his ability
in the was ; in which he treated
Mrs. W. . Parker who has been
seriouslJf sick the j ast week , but
who now is impnv. ing under fc e
Doctor's care , which fact has made
the Doctor many friends.
