f
Orders to nbandnn tho United States
Nnvnl Hoapltnl, on dray's Kerry road,
have been received by Captain Reorcc
riekrcll. medical officer in command.
The first sroup ot the 250 patients will
be removed to tho hospital at the Phila
delphia Navy Yard today.
The order camo after two months of
uncertainty by tho Navy Department
as to whether the hospital at the Navy
Yard or the one at dray's Ferry road
should be abandoned.
Tho Nnval Home, which houses about
200 naval veterans, will remain.
The authorities here do not know
what will be dono with the three bic new
structures that were added to the hos
pital in 1H1S, and which arc valued at
$i.noo,ooo.
The removal of the patients will take
about three weeks, according to Captain
riekrcll. All sick seamen of the Fourth
naval district will bo treated at the
Navy Yard. The hospital there has ac
commodations for 1000. At prcscut tho
hospital hns 200 patients.
During the war and durlbg tho epi
demic of. influeiiT'.a tho naval hospital
experienced the busiest period iu lis
history.
In 1012 a movement was started to
have the naval hospltnl and homo aban
doned and the grounds converted into a
large park and recreation center for the
city. Tho project was held In abeyance
by tho naval department.
Tho Naval Homo was established in
1832, but the hospital was not started
until years later.

Lumber Gats:
They are all jumping one way notr.
"When a firm decides to build, what is the
first thing to do?" asked the Junior Partner.
"That's a disputed point," said the Old Man.
"They used to buy the ground first, then engage
an architect, and tiien get bids from contrac
tors. But when the Conner Company built, the
architect convinced them first thing that they
had bought tho wrong ground. Then the con
tractor fell down because he couldn't get lumber
in time, and finally failed. So Conner says now
that he always engages his lumber first, then
hife architect, and then buys the ground!"
"He's a wise man," said the Junior Partner,
"especially with building prospects as they are
now."
"That's so," said the Old Man. "They say
you never can tell which way a cat is going to
jump, but the lumber cats are all jumping one
way this year. Conner gets in ahead of the
rush. Yes, he's a wise man."
Some day you'll build. If you want the
work finished on time, see that the lumber
comes from LLOYD.

Notice To Public
Your Appreciation Has
Assured the Success of
Becker's- 10 Above Cost
Government Plan of Selling
MEN'S CLOTHING
It IiiU-'dly seems possible that in these times of high prices that Clothing
could be sold on such a slight margin of prolit yet Becker's had the
courage to lake the initiative we need not herald broadcast what a
wonderful responsive chord this plan struck we simply invite YOU to
make comparisons. You need not buy, but for YOUR OWN INTER
ESTS you can at least stop in and see just what good we are doing.
This is the first retail clothing store in
America to reduce the high cost of
clothes by adopting the GOVERN
MENT PLAN OF SELLING at 10'
above cost. Our plans have been sub-'
mitted to the UNITED STATES GOV
ERNMENT AND HAVE THE AP
PROVAL OF GOVERNMENT OFFI
CERS. Large stocks of clothing will be dis
posed of at Ifjl4-151G Market Street at
10 7i above cost, which means you can
buy a Suit or Overcoat practically at
wholesale cost.
All of this clothing can be purchased
at prices that about equal the prices of
the days before the war, and the
hearty support of this plan can keep
the cost of clothing at this low level.
These stocks of clothing comprise vari
ous makes, styles and qualities now in
vogue, and a large force of expert
salesmen have been retained to give
the same standard of service that this
well-known firm has always maintained.
CONDITION OF PURCHASE
No dealers will be allowed to purchase, and only one suit and one overcoat or not
more than two suits will be sold to a customer. No free deliveries and no purchas
ing agents' orders will be accepted; alterations will be charged for at cost, but U
is optional whether you have your suit altered here or elsewhere. Store will open
at 8:30 A. M. daily and be open continuously until 9 o'clock in the evening, thus
giving every one a fair chance to make their purchases.
