Itestaurant men. especially those of
the so-called "popular-priced'' eating
places, opine, it is said, that the cur
tailment of the sale of whisky and other
beverages will tend to make men spend
more money for their meals. Hence
the rising prices now in vogue.
Ten Cents for Toast
Two pieces of transparent toast cost
in most restaurants ten cents. Cherry
pie. with the pits in the cherries, twenty
cents. All along the line there is a
rising trend in prices for food.
Wage-earners. ,eren although their
salaries nre aboe the average, have
difficulty these days In meeting living
conditions. Clothing is high, rents still
soar. Necessities of life, and particu

but they will not allow you to charge
them more for coffee than they have
been accustomed to paying," he snld.
"Probably it is because that nickel re
mains in their mind as a stationary
figure. It's easier to raise the price of
nn article from twenty cents to n quar
ter than from a nickel to a dime. The
cost of cream, as everybody knows, lins
been raised, but the wholesale cost of
coffee hasn't changed. And the public
is tise to that fact. We'll not increase
the price here."

IDLERS IDLE NOT WHILE
THE BUSY ARE BUSY IDLING
Being the Story of Business Men Busy at Nothing and
Idlers Idle at Ditto
From what class of people springs
the rubber-neck or gullible gazer?
We flivc always contended that only
the loafer, the idle man or womnn,
who dawdles along the city streets
with nothing heavier above the brows
than a hat to continue, only this
class could gaze with intense curiosity
at such a soul -stirring sight as the up
rooting of a car track or the painting
of n window or to get to the caRe in
question the lifting of a safe to a
second-floor window.
Despite the tnles of certain humor
ists, we are confident that only such a
class could crowd the streets for an
hour while tlio Vlicels of Industry
hummed on every side.
Therefore we were very much sur
prised today when we reached a
crowded section of Chestnut Btrcct to
observe a great crowd of men and
women intently watching the elevation
of a safe, with apparently as much
interest as though it. were the 11-31,
about to hop for home. We u-ero -,-..

2 o'clock had passed some moments iiro.
So we touched them upon the shoulder
and tried to warn them, hut the.v paid
no attention, for the safe had begun
to ascend.
"(let the real crowd," came a
thought, "and don't waste time on the
exceptions." So we edged near a pair
of men who were slightly seedy in ap
pearance nnd heard this :
"Well, I suppose you like your new
car?" "Pretty well. I guess I'll sell the
old one and get "
We moved on. but although we located
bankers, brokers, clubmen and club
women the idle were not to be found.
At last we stopped upon the outskirts
of the swelling multitude in despair.
Then wn noticed a young man, well
dressed, hurrying down the Btrcet. look
ing neither to the right nor to the left.
Evidently the safe performance meant
nothing to him.
"At last." we thought, "we have
found one business man who has no
time for sightseeing."
What's the Hurry?
The energetic one, in seeking to evade
the crush, ran Into us heavily. It may
be that we swore.
"What's the hurry?" we said,
"won't your work keep?"
"I ain't hurrying," came the answer,
"and I ain't had no work for two
months." He dashed ou and left us
gaping.

is an event of the most unusual magnitude to Men and
Young Men who value appearances and dollars.
Never yet have we been able to present such values to
a man's public that is growing greater in discrimination every season. First of
all, our stocks were "clean" that is to say, broken sizes and such-like stock
excuses were not ours to make. We had excellent and full ranges of all the
fabrics and styles that go to make up the consistently good selections that are
always yours at this store.
But for years we had held a Clearance at this time of
the year and didn't feel like backsliding on those who maybe were counting on
the Becker Clearance Sale. We cut prices on our regular lines and, in addition,
made a purchase of clothing that would make the average vendor of odd lots
gasp like the .proverbial fish.
Thus our mental attitude on this Clearance! We feel
and we know that it is decidedly unusual, and the many hundreds that have come
and bought at these prices justify our stand.
The Suits at $15.00 and $19.75 are typical young men's'
styles and altogether just what you want! Come in t

Too much Turkish
or
Just enough Turkish?
r
"N one way, at least, smoking is
exactly like eating.
The more rich and delicious a
certain food is, the more care people
take to avoid eating too much of
it for instance, plum pudding or
candy.
The same rule applies to smoking.
Cigar smokers, for example, are
today more careful to avoid too
many rich, heavy Havanas. (In fact,
more and more cigar smokers now
smoke cigarettes too, to help cut
down the number of cigars.)
In the same way, cigarette smokers
are learning that Turkish tobacco,
delicious as it is, is so over-rich or
heavy that a man can easily smoke
too much of it.
But they are learning also that,
instead of cutting down the number
of cigarettes per day, they can cut
down on the proportion of Turkish
in each cigarette.
How to reduce on Turkish.
THEY candothisbyswitchingfrom
straight Turkish to part Turk'
ish, or "Turkish blend," cigarettes.
The first Turkish blend cigarette
ever made and the one which haa
always held first-rank importance
is Fatima.
Fatima contains more Turkish
than does any other Turkish blend
cigarette.
Perhaps this is the main reason
why so many smokers of straight
Turkish cigarettes keep switching
to Fatimas.
Less worry about"too many"
ANOTHER reason undoubtedly is
- the fact that Fatimas treat,
Fatima's Record
At scores of pUees where one would
erpett only fancy, straight Turkhh ciga
rettes to eell, Fttma is today tho leader.
For example, Fatima tho largest
teller at:
smokers so kindly. The Turkish Is
so perfectly "balanced" by the other
tobaccos in the blend that Fatima
smokers never have any worry about
smoking "too many."
A T any rate, whatever the reason '
"- may be, Fatima keeps on attract
ing more and more of those smokers
who, if they preferred the fancy,
expensive, straight Turkish ciga
rettes, could easily afford them.
This is shown, of course, by
Fatima's record in having won tho
top notch in sales at so many of the
fashionable clubs and hotels and
other prominent places all over tho
country (see below).
How much is "just enough"?
DOES not Fatima's record seem to
prove that this is the one ciga
rette containing just enough Turkish?
Not too much nor too little Turkish,
but just enough. Make a te3t for
yourself.
