Santos began eating grass about @/ year and « half ago, In Cuba. He was then troubled with severe headache, and other disorders, and it was impossible, | he eays, for him to sloep.

E of our neighbors the other day made quite a number of claims, asserting that it sells more china and glassware than any other store, and that it operates its own “ pot- teries, glassware factories and decorating shops at home and abroad.” We claim to do « pretty’big business, but we don’t believe that we do it all. Furthermore, we do not own any china factories. Don't want to; prefer to have an unrestricted choice from all of the \Argest and best potteries; not from one, Our customers are better ‘pleased.
