Doing Good Work.
Messrs. Shurley Brothers, proprie¬
tors of the Guarantee Plumbing Co.,
are doing quite a lot of work at dif¬
ferent places in the city, and stated
yesterday to a News reporter that
they were going to stay in business
here permanently. They have decid¬
ed to branch out with their business
and do general contract work on res¬
idences and store rooms. They came
to this city only a few months ago,
but have been doing a number of nice
jobs of plumbing. They fitted up the
school building and the court house,
besides any number of residences.
All their work is giving entire satis¬
faction and they have several con¬
tracts on hand now.
The Messrs. Shurley’s are pardona¬
bly proud of their work and their cus¬
tomers speak very flatteringly of
them.
In taking up the contracting work
in connection they will be in position
to give the people a good job, com¬
pleting their work with the water and
sewer connections. This will give
them a good opportunity here as there
w ill be quite a good deal of work in
both lines. The New t s is glad they
have decided to remain here perma¬
nently, as they are good citizens and
good plumbers, doing their work in a
workmanlike manner and giving good
prices.—XXX.
—The Stationery and Novelty Co.,
have been designated by Huyler &
Co., of New Yorktohandle their con¬
fectioneries in this section. They will
receive their first shipment about Oct.
1st.

BREAKFAST FRUIT.
The Beat Said to Be Oranges, Grapes
and Fresh Olives.
Of all breakfast fruits the orange Is
deservedly the most popular. It Is a
food that Is distinctly health giving.
Orange juice aids greatly in reducing
the amount of putrefaction found in
the Intestines of nearly all persons
who are submitted to clinical labora¬
tory tests.
Grapes are another fruit that should
always be eaten freely when obtainable.
Apples are preferably eaten before re¬
tiring, and two are about twice as good
as one. The apple habit, persisted in.
often works rather surprising results
with persons who are naturally list¬
less. Lemons can hardly be eaten as
a fruit, but lemonade is a valuable
beverage. When used as a laxative
fresh figs should form the dessert.
When not obtainable the dried figs
form a good substitute.
Of the value of bananas there seems
some reasonable doubt. Many persons
complain that they find them indigesti¬
ble. They are quite likely to reach
this conclusion if the banana be eaten
frequently as the needless complement
of an already hearty meal. On the
other hand, there can be no doubt that
the growing popularity of the fresh
olive is fully deserved. It surely ranks
with the orange and the grape and is,
of course, much ahead of either in
cases of sluggish intestines or constitu¬
tional thinness.—H. Irving Hancock in
Good Housekeeping.
“It is always a task,” says one wo¬
man, “to take off the grease when one
is making gravy in a hurry. It may
be done almost instantly by going over
the top of the pan with a bit of ice.
The grease adheres to the ice and
hardens at once. This applies to soup
stock or any hot liquid from which one
wishes to separate the grease without
waitiug for it to get cold.”
