A Man Going Through an
Attack of Jaundice
says "everything he looks at appears to be
yellow."
One does not have to have jaundice to sec
yellow, or to be yellow, as sonic of the news
papers have been called.
The mind takes on colors, as the body does,
from living in a kind of miasmatic marsh, or
from an unhealthy spirit, for mental jaundice is,
contagious.
You hear a man say in these war times after
reading some of the news of the morning:
""Things look black today, don't they?" and the
other man says : "No, sir, they only look darker,
as they do when you go to New York upon the
Pennsylvania Railroad from Philadelphia. You
go through a tunnel, but it is soon over, and you
are in the daylight again quickly."
The United States had a four years' war
once and won it through silence and through
a persistent man named Grant, who was on the
spot day and night.
This is a persistent store going straight
ahead with lots to do every day.

Young Men Know
of Clothes They
That is part of what it means to
be a young man.
They know the right styles when
they see them the eye for fashion is
also part of what it means to be a
young man, that is, a real, "regular"
young nian.
One of the significant features of
our men's clothing business this sea
son is the increasing numbers in
which young men are coining here for
their suits.
They seem to recognize at a
glance that the suits they want are
here.
As a matter of fact, no young
man who is a real, "regular" young
man with the right fashion sense and -the
right sense of quality and value
can fail to recognize it.
We take no credit to ourselves for
having gone so thoroughly into the
question of young men's suits that
is part, of our business. But it is
good to know that the distinctive and
dependable suits for young men that
we have to show in such fine selec
tions are appreciated. $28 to $50.
