Store keeping isn't all profit and when
inventory time comes along you've got
to calculate both ways. That's exact
ly what we're doing now, and as we go
through the stock we find so many lit
tle lots, Remnants and Oddments of all
kinds that are really not worth placing
on the stock sheets in detail
That We Cheerfully
Sacrifice Them for a
Fraction of Their Real Value
And let the fortunate buyers carry them
away. This week is the choice bargain
time of all the year, and there is not a
single department in the store, not even
a counter or table that has not its
tempting morsels to offer. Wise buy
ers have proved the truth of these
statements long ago. Those who have
not learned to profit by inventory bar
gain week, may take the hint today.

NEW LAWS FOR PORTO RICO.
Washington, July C. Since the order
of tho president continuing tho legal
existence of the Insular commission tha
members have been engaged busily In
preparing a code of laws for Porta
Rleo to take the place of the Spanish
statutes. Tho best legal advice tho
commissioners have been able to ob
tain .supports their own view that such
a new code can be legally adopted by
the military government of the Island!
with the sanction of the president and
without awaiting the nctlon of con
gress. Such a step would give tha
islanders the ndvnntuge of modern laws
under which the regeneration of tho
Island could be carried on by Its mili
tary governor ns long ns was deslrabia
before raising the question of Porta.
Rico's admission to actul state or terri
torial rights.
It is considered probable that a largo
part ut least of tlio new code of laws
being formulated by the commission
will be adopted and put In forco befora
the metlng of congress.
