It is well known that so comprehensive a display of the artistic and practical in Furniture and Furnishings, assembled in this largest Furniture Store, could not other wise be seen, unless one could travel extensively and visit perhaps a score or more of cities and .stores and even then one would m,iss much of beauty and interest, for many of the most exquisite suites and pieces are shown here exclusively. In conjunction with our Fall Opening, which continues during this entire week, we follow our usual custom of holding a Spec'il Sale of Fine Domestic Rugs, announcement of which follows : Special Reduction Sale of High-Grade Domestic Rugs The commanding: position of the Van Sciver Store in the furniture and furnishings field has resulted in our possessing: a consistent foreknowledge of these markets and anticipating abnormal conditions such as now prevail. Months ago we placed our con tracts with the various mills and consequently escaped the ensuinjr rise in manufactur ing and wholesale costs,- so that today finds us with an enormous stock of high-grade domestic rugs which were bought far below present quotations. The policy of this house has been to make reductions from these low prices, ignoring the fact that the market has so greatly advanced. In view of these conditions the advantages of buying rugs now are too obvious to require elaborate explanation, and we urge you to compare our stock and prices with what you will find elsewhere and make your selection accordingly.

The reorganization of the Twenty-eighth Division Is complete except the physical shift of officers and men October 10. Offi cers from the dismembered regiments who will go to tho front with the fighting regi ments havo been designated and others sent to ,tho depot brigade. Virtually all of the first and second lieutenants of tho Fourth, Sixth, Eighth, Thirteenth and Eighteenth were transferred. Each Infantry company will be officered by a captain and fivo lieu tenants. No changes of organizations are Included In the supplementary reorganization order except that tho machine gun battalions of the Eighth and Thirteenth exchange places, the Thirteenth's "suicide club" now be coming a part of Brigadier General Still well's command. General Stlllwell's home is In Scranton nnd ho was formerly colonel of the Thirteenth, General Price has Issued nn order pre scribing regulations governing the conduct and appearance of officers and men while on leave from the camp. Neatness In per sonal appearance and uniform and punc tiliousness In giving and acknowledging the salute are features of the order. One of tho high lights Is an order for the wearing of two Identification tags instead of one. These nlumtnum tags bear tho name of the wearer, IiIh company letter and regi mental, brigade und division numeral. The purpose of two tags has a grim object. In tho event a soldier Is ltUled on the bat tlefield the squads searching for the dead take one tag and bury the other with the corpse. This will Insure authoritative casu alty lists and will also enable the dead warrior's ltln to locate his burial spot after the German hosts are vanquished, Thousands of Germans, figuratively, are being riddled with bullets each afternoon on tho drill field of Camp Hancock. The soldiers aro engaged In the fundamentals of rifle sighting, and eery time they squint along the rifle barrel they pull th bead on a Teuton. Tho school of marks manship Is to be carried along In gradual stages until the men finally reach the rifle ranges now under construction near tho camp.
