Will help considerably.
The fund is starting toward the J 17,000
mark, but It will require more than twlco
that figure to proide cigars, cigarettes, bags
of tobacco and pipes for all the fighters
who aro "going over" Now la the time
to enlist in the army of givers. Dig down
in jour pocket and give what jou can. No

HOOVER RULING BANS
BAKERS' FANCY BREAD
Must Conserve Sugar and Short
ening or Have License
Revoked
Bakeis of fancy breads In Philadelphia
and other cities probably will ho forced out
of business by tho latest rullni; of tho red
oral Food Administration. The bakers not
only will hao to stop selling fancy breads,
but nny whr offers for ao any bread other
than tint prescribed by Herbert Kooer will
hao his license mokod and his business
closed
If any baker ntttmpts to do business with
out a llccni-e, he faces u flno of JIJ00, two
) ears' Imprisonment, or both
Tho whole purpose of tne floxernmcnt's
latest ruling, according to officials of tho
food administration, is to conserve sugar
and shortening It hits makers of sweet
and fnncy breads badly.
For the present tho food administration
announces there riill be no restrictions on
the baking of cv', but the sweet roll Is
doomid to meet tin fati- of tho i-ugir-coated
and fancy bread Itoll) nny be sold when
weighing from one to three ounces, hut they
must bo msdo of the stand-fdlzpil bread
dough and tho baker cannot add any sugars
or fats to them during the process of baking
or after thev are baked
Olllclals of the food administration said
"One of the great features rt tlm food
control net distinguishing' it fiom nlmot
eery other statuto Is that It glts tho f!o
ernment powir to taku drastic .u'tlon with
out appealing to th courts Wo refuse to

to him to Institute any legal action ho de

tho Government, and while ho Ih prohccutlng

Out of date
in one thin;
Where 1917 men are
behind the times
Men pride themselves on being up-to-the-minute.
They want the latest and
most improved automobile. In war they
want and must have the latest type of
gun.
When a thing has outlived its usefulness,
theydiscat'ditforsomethingbetter. That's
progress. The 6ix and twelve cylinder
automobile has replaced the old-fashioned,
high-wheeled bike. The modern machine
gun has replaced the old-fashioned blun
derbuss. But in one thing many 1917 men are
far behind the times. Their heels are
out of date.
Leather heel9are doomed
They still stick to old-fashioned leather heels. Leather
heels are out of place on hard pavements, as everyone now
knows. They are too hard. They jolt the spine with every
step. They jar away precious energy. They have outlived
their usefulness and 3re being discarded.
The up-to-date heel is the O'Sullivan Heel. It is made for
city wear. City men must bring their heels up-to-date or
they will pay for being behind the times by pounding away
their energy.
How to saye your energy
Save your heels, save your shoes above all, save )iur nervout iysttm.
Don't pound away your health with every step you take. Wear O'SuIlivan's
Heels they absorb the jolts and jars that wear you out. Of all heels they are
the best suited to modern hard pavements and floors.
They are guaranteed to outlast any other heels.
They will last three times as long as leather heels and
will eive uniformly satisfactory service to the very
last. Because of our special process, O'SuIlivan's Heels
combine the greatest durability with the greatest resili
ency. They are made of perfect heel material y

A Message to the Men of Philadelphia
In spite of the War Tax on cigars, in spite of the abnormal cost of tobacco and
labor, the Girard Cigar will continue to be made of real Havana tobacco with agen
uine shade-grown wrapper. And it will continue to possess the same famous hever,-gets-on-your-nerves
quality which has caused doctors to recommend it in place of
other cigars.
In order to maintain Girard quality without entailing a raising of retail prices
three measures have been necessary. First, the sizes of the Girard have been slightly
reduced. Second, we are doing with less profit. Third, the dealer is doing with less
profit.
4
Under present conditions measures like these must be taken or else quality
must be reduced. Under no circumstances will we take the latter course. The unique
quality which has made the Girard Cigar the best- smoke for your health as well as
your pleasure will continue to be maintained. .
Insist on the Girard. ' . v "
