by experience that it's no e.isy matter to buy underwear in the or
tiin.tiy stole th.u can be called perfectly satisfactory so far as com
loit, style and fit are concerned, while the ever changing tempera
tuieol these latitudes has taught women of sense the necessity of
being able to adjust the weight or make of undergarment at a mo
ment's notice to the weather changes, whatever they may be.
We've lade This
A study lor many years, and as a result are enabled to present to
oui patrons the most complete and varied line of Ladies' Undei
wear in combination suits, pants, vests, corset covers, etc,, to be
found in this state. It practically includes everything of genuine
merit and the sizes are so graded, that perfect litting'garments can
always be depended on.
A Word on Weights, Makes and Qualities.
The question of makes is most impoitant. Some are poor, and
some lar from being as good as they should be. No matter what
you pay, we have no poor or indilleient makes to olfer. Besides
some very special productions we show the lull lines of the follow
ing noted manufacturer: Norfolk Mills, New Brunswick Mills,
it.
l.ackawana Mills, Luzerne County Mills, etc., etc. Also the justly
famous Oneita Combination Suits for ladies. As to weights, that's
an individual question for the wearer to decide. We have Under
wear graded so closely and evenly in the matter of weight that
i -i
,. anything irom the lightest teatherweights to the heaviest double
l" wool fleece lined may be yours at command.
''U for Materials and the Prices
i -if
k'J." We would merely say that we show every description of garment
j . named above in pure silk weaves, silk and wool, pure wool, all
r"" weights, cotton and wool and the best selected cotton yarns.
, Prices lange from a lew cents up to a few dollars, and qualifier
. ' may be guaged accordingly. Although we may add that figures
.,'7 here aie much lower than those asked by firms who have not ths
same command on the market as we possess and theieforc neithee
. the stock to show, nor the volume of trade.
There's a special display of Ladies'
Underwear today; would you
mind going; to see it ?

The hardest thing in the world to root out and
kill is a baseless prejudice. We take more pride,
therefore, that we have overborne the prejudice that
some men have hel up against "Store" Clothing.
In this particular k 1 of clothing we have earned
and enjoy favor am. prominence, simply because
there is no reason why we should not and every raa
son why we should.
If you'd like practical evidence, ju3t step la or
store and look over our ready-to-wear line.
Here you will find an endless variety of styles, fa-
bries and colors, and for every occasion: The Full
Dress, for evening; the Tuxedo, or dinner coat and
vest; the Prince Albert, the Cutaway Frock, and tho
Sack or Business Suit.
Goods at all prices, to suit the rich as well as tho
poor.

sagging part, making with his fingers
a path for the wnter to the eaves.
Then along that whole path the wat-r
comes through In stieams The re
cruit moves his bed and bumps his
head against the room. Instantly
there Is another leak. At last the tent
Is leaking like a sieve, and the dltchesi
around Its walls are running over with
water, which comes m and silently
steals under the soldier bunk and cov
ers his floor and creeps up the primi
tive legs of the bed. He ellscovers his
feet hanging In th" water and reallze.4
that his shoes are soaking wet and
that the rain coming through tho roof
has soaked his back. He has no place
to go, and the song and cherry words
have long since stopped.
Tho cook, who knows what to ev
pect, for he Is an old campaigner,
drums away on his dlshpan and there
by announces dinner. He has few
guests. Those few come in, splashing
wnter with their bare feet and with
dripping ponchos and hats. It takes
a very wet and disagreeable day to get
the cook out of humor. The soldier
who can face the elements for his
bacon, beans and coffee Is greeted
cheerfully by the chef and draws an
extra portion as a mark of distinction.
The roaring fire Is comfortable to look
at, though It spits and sputters at the
rain which falls upon Its blazing logs.
So the soldier eats, perched upon a box
of canned tomutoes, and cracks his
Jokes nliout the weather and the
"rookies," as the law leciults are
know n.
NO REST FOR THE WEARY.
There Is a let-up In tho rainfall at
sundown and the sky becomes purple
and crimson and all the shades be
tween. The soldier comes forth like
tho robin after the stonn, and he la
gleeful again, although he is wet. Tin-
supper is eaten with greater appetite
than the noonday meal. At night the
wind and the rain como again and re
main tluoughout the dark hours. Per
haps the tent falls, for the ground be
comes soaked and loosens the tent pegs.
Then awry goes the whole affair, col
lapsing in clammy despair upon the
head of the unfortunate recruit, who
would not take advice nnd drive his
tent pins farther Into the ground.
Where the outpost stands the lain
falls and tho water rises, but an eve
must be kept on the enemy's lines,
whether it is dtv or wet In getting
to their posts the soldiers often go
with tiousers rolled up to the hips. The
"outpost" snlnshes out and the ofllcer
with it. Sometimes the latter rides on
hoisebaek and ngaln he walks Tho
stoiy Is told of one captain who asked
the majors permission for his men to
go barefoot. The next morning the
captain appeared barefoot and bare
legged of his trousers were rolled up to
his hips, a poncho and hat completing
his attlto. When the soldiers fell In to
splash their way to ilutv, every man
wore tho regulation uniform shoes,
leggings, trousers, coat and hat. Some
wanted to laugh at the queer appear
ance of the captain and some did smile.
Hut the experience of that day told
them that the captain's was the most
comfortable stjlo of Hross. The next
day the men wore the garb of the ofll
cer and set a style that has been fol
lowed all over the camp.
When once In the fields or bamboo
thlcketfl thcie Is nothing to do but to
watch and wait sometimes waist deep
In the water two hours "on" nnd two
"off" for twenty-four hours and twelve
hours In reserve. The reserve finds u
dry place, usually a nlpa hut, and
wraps Itself up In comfort to wait and
sleep till the hour comes for duty.
Probably the outpost has the hardest
time of it He must go out regardless
of tho weather or condition of the
loads. At more than one place In t'10
legion of the lake the shelters are un
der wnter to their eaves and new shel
ter places have to be formed, generally
nearer the enemy's line nnd closer t'
danger It seems Impossible to cany

this embryonic paraslto's presence In
such abundance Is probably due to tho
absence of Its natural enemy ,the com
