The biggest, brightest, full est, best number of Book News ever issued is the one for Dec ember, just out. 112 pages, and mavbe fifty choice illustra tions picked Irom new Holiday Books. It you care to know what the publishers have been doing for this Christmas season, ask Book News. The whole story is between its covers; a complete list, something of the scope and character of most of the books, and in every case the Wanamaker prices always fair and generally below any body else's. That's the Holiday side of Book News; the- other sides are there just as usual. We mean Book News to be your quick and safe guide to everything that counts in the world of books or among book people 50 cents a year, The mam moth Holiday number sent to any address Jor 5 cents. Plaids are all their brightest, t wealth ot tnem, as it every tartan possibility had been sun stamped on these warm soft wools. We don't pretend to count them- There's nothing short. Stripes and cluster stripes and broken stripes, prism tinted, crossed, cris-cross-ed and tangled. Nothing that seems dull or dead. Let one of the quietest, simplest styles stand for all. A plaid camel hair, cut into half inch squares by half-inch wide stripes both ways, and sprink led with bright specks like but tercups in a June meadow. A first-class, good weight, 42-inch stuff. It has been $1,25, now 75c.

Ribbon-striped Novelties, rich and exclusive. Silk-corded Borders, in fairy traced patterns. Persian Borders, splendid with color-glimpses of the Ori ent. You can put in half an hour among them and see a new de light between every breath. More and more room for Handkerchiefs. It is always so this time of year. 84 feet of counters does very well for samples, but that's before the buying begins. There is nowfjr. wanamaker's. one long counter for Rllk Handkerchiefs, one long counter for Men's Linen Handker chiefs. Two long counters for Women's Linen Hand kerchiefs. The Linen is pure Linen. We've said that time and again, but you can't hear it too often. It would bo much easier for us to get cotton-and-linen or all cotton Handkerchiefs, just as most other stores do. It would be quite as easy to keep on in the common rut and call them "Linen." But we don't do things that way. Linen is Linen here, just as everything else in the store is exactly what wo say it is. The little Handkerchiefs for boys and girls are just as true flax as the big ones for bigger folks. You may have them printed revered embroidered walloped hemstltcr.ed diced or with fancy sewing. Let one kind Ladies' Em broidered White Linen Hand kerchiefs show how varieties run : One hundred and fifty six distinct styles, 35c to $4 each. Everyone new this sea son. We never had anything approaching them for sorts. And we've made no count of the thicket of Wo men's White Linen Hand kerchiefs, embroidered or hem stitched, at 25c and under ( A wonderfully good one at I2c) or of the higher flight into white, lace edged goods up to $6 each. Women's Plain White Linen Handkerchiefs, 1 ! and 2 inch hems, $1 to $4.20 a dozen. We believe our Women's 1 2 ic white unlaundered Initial Handkerchief the best for the money ever sold. Dimes do as much accordingly for you in another grade Misses' Handkerchiefs scal loped, hemstitched, embroider ed and printed, 10 to 35c. Boys' Colored Handker chiefs, woven border, 5, 6, and 8c. And so the story runs but you haven't had half of it. John Wanamaker. Best of All Cough medicines, Ayer's Cherry Pec toral la In greater demand than ever. No preparation for Throat and Lung Troubles is so prompt in Its effects, so agreeable to tho taste, and ao widely known as this. It Is the family modi, cine iu thousands ot households. "I have suffered for years from a hronclil.il trouble that, whenever I take cold or am exposed to Inclement weath er, shows Itself by a very annoying tickling sensation in tho throat and by illfiiculty in breathing, I have tried a great many remedies, but none does so wen as Ajcr-s t;nerry I'eciorat wmcn always gives prompt relief In returns of my old complaint.'1 Ernest A.

I havo tested Its curative power, In my family, many times during the past thirty years, and havo never known it to fall. It will relievo the most serious affections of the throat and lungs, wlmther In children or adults." Mrs. Ji. G, Jidgerly, Council Bluffs, Iown. "Twenty years ago I was troubled with a disease of tho lungs, Poctora afforded mo no relict nnii considered my casu hopeless. I then began to uso Ajer's Cherry Pectoral, and, before I had finished ono bottle, found relief. I continued to tuko this medicine until a cure was effected. I believe that Ayer'a Cherry Pectoral saved my life." Bamuol Griggs, Waukegan, ill. " Six years ago I contracted a severe cold which settled on my lungs and soon developed all tho alarming symp toms of Consumption. I had a cough, night sweats, bleeding of tho lungs, pains in chest and sides, and was so prostrated ns to ho conflnod to my lil most of tlio time. After trying various prescriptions, without benefit, my physician dually determined to give no Ayer's Cherry Pectoral. I took it, and the effect was magical. I seemed to rally fiom tho first doso ot this medicine, and, after using only three bullies, cm as well nnd sound as ever." ltoduey Johnson, Springfield, 111, Ayer's Cherry Pectoral, ranrABED bt Or.
