WANAMAKER'S WEATHER Fair J a, rr, So Much Good Dogs Do Think and Teach Lessons to Grown Folks A doctor tells us of a dog he found disabled by the roadside with a broken leg, which he set and bound up. The dog showed his thankfulness in his eyes and wagging tail. A few weeks later he brought another limping dog on three legs to him with a fourth leg broken, and later on still another dog who was in pain all to be cured. Evidently these dogs and the great, strong St. Bernards that go over ,thesnowy Alps on relief expeditions and rescue lost travelers have something of the Red Cross spirit in them worthy of admira tion and encouragement. We must not let dogs outdo us in helpfulness for the suffering in these days of trial and need. This Store is organized to serve. Signed Nov. 0, 1918.

A Word in Season as to Good Blankets and Quilts A suggestion of snow in the air makes such a difference in one's viewpoint. How it docs shift one's thinking in tho direction of warm things, more especially blankets. Just at this writing the blanket and quilt stocks look as if they were hit by a wind of faiily high velocity, but' the tossing they have been getting is due to its temper ature and not to its force. There has been a "drive" on blankets and quilts, and it will keep on all Winter. We can say we aro able to meet it. At least we have a slock of ample extent and undoubted qual ity. At the prices, wo believe thero is not a quilt or blanket in our stock that can be improved upon. There may bo blankets and quilts that seem as good or better than ours for tho same money, but a comparison that is fair, in telligent and thorough will always reveal a difference, and the differ ence is in favor of our goods. A great many people have satisfied themselves on this point, and we are in a position to satisfy a great many more. Our prices for blankets of part wool or all-wool begin at $7 and go up to $45 a pair. Down-flllod and lamb's-wool-filled quilts are $10 to $45 each.
