A Very Wise Citizen of
Philadelphia, Not Now Living
except in what hp said and did, had the greatest'
abhorrence of the- waste of time and labor upon
"gimcracks" that had no practical usefulness to
compensate for the money and time spent upon
them.
His controlling idea was a principle that
nothing was good or beautiful but in the
measure of its usefulness, though almost all
things might have a utility under extraordinary
circumstances.
Humanly speaking, how can there be any
truer source of happiness and of honest
independence than from living an unwasted
life?

J.fe,
Whether a Man Wants a Tropical Suit
or a Regular Suit
:
he will find our Men's Clothing Store equally
ready to serve him.
Our men's tropical suits are as fine in
their way as are our men's regular suits.
We could say nothing better of them or
nothing truer. And it is worth knowing that
in the whole category of men's clothing there
is nothing more satisfactory than a tropical
suit of the right kind, and nothing so pecu
liarly unsatisfactory as a tropical suit of the
wrong kind.
The difference is in the making or in the
fabrics or both.' The best of tropical fabrics
need to be well tailored. What then of the
inferior kind? Not even good tailoring can
redeem them. This goes to show that in trop
ical suits the only quality worth considering
is the best.
The Wanamaker Men's Clothing Store
has no use for any other kind. Neither
should any man who knows the value of
money.
Palm Beach suits, $20 and $22.50.
Tropical suits and coolest worsteds, $32
to $40.
Mohair suits, $25 and $30.
Knitted sports coats, $20.
White flannel and striped flannel trou
sers, $12.
Blue flannel sports coats, $10.
White duck trousers, $3.50.

The Only Fireless Cooker
Many Women Will Have
Two classes of women do not havo a Domestic Fireless Cooker.
One class has not yet learned the immense advantage of cooking
by the fireless process how perfectly it roasts, bakes, boils and stews,
without fuel, without any attention after the food is once put in. The
enormous economy in time, fuel, heat and conservation of food, by this
method of cookery must surely commend it to any woman who has
investigated it.
The other class of woman docs know how good fireless cooking
is, but is not aware how entirely superior a cooker the Domestic
Science is.
It is this we should like to show you. Please come see how tt
cook, and allow us to point out its advantages over other cookers.
It ceitainly hus many!
Moreover, its introduction price is but $35 which is much less
than its regular price for a limited time. This is the large family
size.
A smaller M7e is $26.
No woman blessed with a Domestic Science Cooker would care fo
any other kind.
