the Apostle of Good Will to Great Britain in 1863,
and risked his life among the Manchester cotton
mill workers, who were long out of work, and at
Liverpool, where laborers were, in dire distress and
shipping interests had been idle so long during the
four years of our Civil War.
His visit to the English nation was at the

misinformation and discussing public questions not
always understood by the people.
At this time it is necessary for the questions
concerning the League of Nations and the Peace

A Rich Choice of Suits at Savings of One-Third
A conspicuously large and well-chosen stock of bedroom and dining-room
suits is an everyday condition of this furniture service. For this we take no
special credit it is one of the things for which we are here. Except in our half

sell at savings of one-third as we have just now. f
Nearly all of these come in the new .$50,000 purchase from a maker of
very high standing, whdse one object has been to excel. Along with them we
have put a small group of equally fine bedroom and dining-room suits from our
own stocks at the same reduction in price.
