or half bottles of charged water or ginger ale.
There is not much in the splits, neither is there
to 'the men who split themselves into two
middling ones by having so many irons in the
fire that none of them ever gets hot.
To have one fixed, steady aim is an
honorable undertaking, and persevcringly to
apply yourself to hit the mark is the only sure
way to succeed.
Tlte calendar of the year has very few days
in the almanac marked as legal holidays, but it
is written that six days shalt thou work and
thy house also every week.
In the interest of humanity, custom has in
recent years declared shorter days of labor and
Summer holidays in hot season.
There is sweet content in a day's work well
done.
Work seldom kills a man, but worry does it.
Worry is the rust that spoils the knife
blade.
The glory of this Store is that its patrons
are so well satisfied that the work of preparing
the stocks for them and serving them is a
continuing pleasure.

Serge for a Man
Serge spells comfort plus a feeling of being well
dressed or rather il does if it be a well-tailored'
serge.
Men have learned to depend upon this Clothing
Store for good tailor work in all "suits, but especially
in serge suits. They know why. Greater effort at
tailoring excellence was demanded of us this year,
owing to conditions, and we put all the effort of which
we were capable into the task of providing men's
serge suits of the finest ready-to-wear kind.
We believe the result is creditable to us, judging
by what our customers tell us. At any rate, the man
who wants a Summer suit that keeps his comfort and
his appearance at top notch will do himself a real
service by seeing these serge suits of ours for himself.
Prices $32 to $55.

Entering the Last Week of the June
China Sale
For all practical requirements this is as good a sale today as it was on the day
it opened. , ,
Of the two classes of goods which are the mainstay of a china sale the dinner
sets and cut glass the varieties are unstinted.
Anybody needing a dinner set can choose now with the double advantage of
real price reductions and a practically unlimited field to select from.
French sets are getting dearer. The Limoges potteries are unequal to the
demands that are coming to them.
Manufacturers have orders booked a year or more in advance. This excep
tional demand is due to the fact that normal European requirements neglected dur
ing the war have now to be satisfied.
French china dinner sets in this sale are $32.50 to $175. Every set in this
group will be at least 25 per cent higher ivext week.
English, American and Japanese sets will also go to higher prices once this
sale ends.
The wisdom of buying now is very plain.
The English sets are in a host of captivating pattei'ns and colors, including
many charmingly vivid effects. They are priced at $25 to $100.
The showing of American sets is naturally very large and the wares are the
pick and choice of the potteries. The prices are $13.50 to $40.
Japanese sets are $40 to $75.
Cut glass in brilliant assortment at savings of 25 to 50 per cent. Prices from
$1 to $400 a pieoe. , i
