GENERATION FOND OF CIDER
Mistake to Assume That Puritans
Were Particularly Abstemious In
the Matter of Drinking.
We are apt to think that our Puri-
tan forbears possessed all the virtues
and especially that they were highly
abstemious in the matter of drinking,
But that is not the testimony that
comes down to us from their dining-
room appointments, according to Wal-
ter A. Dyer's “Early American Crafts
men.”
“Drinking vessels of various sorts,
with and without handles, were very
numerous,” says Mr, Dyer. “Drink-
ing as a social and ceremonial cus
tom was more common in the eight.
eenth century than it is today, and its
equipment was somewhat claborate
“In New England, especially, the
quantities of cider consumed were
astounding, the good fathers appar-
ently living according to the letter of
the text, ‘Stay me with flagons, com-
fort me with apples.’
“There were tankards, six or seven
inches high, with S-shaped handles,
straight, tapering sides and hinged
COVErs; Cans or mugs, somewhat
smaller, usually with curved sides and
without flagons, like larger
tankarcs, commonly used with com-
i tumbler-shaped
slices and caudle cup:

Hollow Bricks Popular,
During the past few years the use
of hollow blocks and hollow bricks
has extended rapidly. These are muc!
lighter than solid bricks and affect
important saving in rajllway carriage
but they must be distinguished from
porous bricks. The weight alone is
not a sufficient guide, as hollow bricks
are now made which are indistinguish-
able in appearance from solid bricks
When cut or broken their hollowness
is easily seen. On the continent por.
ous bricks are defined ag having a
weight which is notably less than
common bricks, but this definition will
have to be abandoned now that hol
low bricks are made in large numbers
Lack Staying Power.
It is astonishing how men lack this
power of “holding on" until they
reach the goal. They can make a sud.
den dash, but they lack grit. They are
easily discouraged. They get on as
long as everything goes smoothly, but
when there is friction they lose heart.
They depend on stronger personalities
for their spirit and strength, They
lack independence and orginality.
They dare only do what others do.
They do mot step boldly from the
crowd and act fesrlessly. ~Theodore

Get That !
LOWER Than Average TO BEGIN WITH !
All season long we have been selling Kessler clothes
below the market, keeping our prices close to the old levels, in spite of the |
world wide advance in woolens, trimmings and making. Yet we are pow |
reducing even those prices in accordance with our custom, in spite of the |
fact that most of the woolens are far higher now than when we bou ght them
and many of them will not again be in Millheim before the war is over. In
fact such a variety in this season of shooting and shoitage is nothing short
of phenomenal. And beyond that, there is the modeling and making, al.
ways individual always different, acheiving new angles in cut and new
wrinkles in tailoring, the equal of the finest merchandise that ever came out
of this town.
Better get busy today— waiting wont get you any-
thing any better or as good! Just one word
more—It is best to come early and take advantage
of the wide variety,
