Mike Suro it hald he did not want to buy it for tear some one would be around to aiako trouble about it. He said he Aould hide the solder in the bam, nnd Dr. Mitchell says in diffi cult cases of Anemia, he adds cod-liver oil half an hour after each meal and he likes to use it in an emulsion ; that he has watched with grow ing surprise some listless, feeble, creature gathering flesh, color and wholesome ness of mind and body from this treatment. "Scott's Emulsion" is cod liver oil combined with hy pophosphites. It regenerates tissue, invigorates the nerves and brain, enriches the blood and adds fat and strength.

THE NEW EXHIBITION The Summer Costumes . . . A first view of this showing should not be missed. The showing of Spring gowns nere during the past few months las brought great distinction to this 'tore. They have been the best work A foreign and American tailors and lave given an impulse and direct on to this great showing of summer lresses. This second showing in t's way is equally as interesting is it's forerunner and was gathered inder the same authority as brought ogether the Spring styles. The ostumes show what can be done nth Summer fabrics of Cotton and .men; and Paris styles dominate. The same excellence in cutting and naking that characterized the gar nents of the last showing, will be found giving perfection to the Summer dresses here assembled. If you are interested only to the ;xtent of knowing what's "correct" this "meeting" of choice costumes will draw you here. ISAAC LONG.

Taffeta Silks In these days of cheap dyeing and flimsy weav ing and stinginess, there's a kind of goodness that has come to be called "old fashioned." These are "old fashioned" taffetas, equal to those made in the days when a silk dress was expected to wear for twenty years. Silks are the crucial test of a store. Slowly the recognition came that this store sold them best of all. How widely the fact is acknowl edged now, We speak plainly of taffeta silks silk pure and simple, silk extraordinarily light; yet a silk that a strong man, in our presence, could not tear with his hands, though urged to extreme effort and girded at for failure. Silk that will clean like a plate of glass and wear like sheet steel. And finally, silks at M y yard in black, plain colors and changeable effects that are better than those offered in most stores at 85c.
