Heat and Power Co., at DuQuoin, 111., has re signed his posi­ tion w ith that company. He has ac­ cepted a similar position at? Abilene, Texas. According to the DuQuoin papers, t l ie gas company has prospered under Sliiupin's management, and the ser­ vice was bettered. An excerpt from one ol the articles follows: "Since coming here Mr. Slimpin and his esteemable w ife have made many warm friends, who will regret much to have them leave. He has made many improvements for the company which he represented and at the pres­ ent time no city in southern Illinois has a gas plant as complete as the one heve.'" Sliuipln has been associated with gas interests for eight years. He worked as a gas fitter for an Elgin company and worked up to the posi­ tion of chief clerk, which position he held for two years before going to Du­ Quoin. His wife was formerly Miss Ida Harmeling of Elgin. 80LVES A DEEP MYSTERY. "I want to thank you from the bot­ tom of my heart," wrote C. B. Rader, of Lewisburg, W.

That rich 'flavor is what gets 'em all and for this reason said farmer could not accommodate his wife, and the family is still using the "Early Riser" brand.
