The bitter cold of Winter has passed and the tem

man who values both health and comfort will adjust
his Underwear to the special demands of this change

We Have Underwear
Of all weights and makes, ready to show you at a mo

wool, etc., and we can assure you of garments that will
fit you like a glove, no matter what your height,
breadth or circumference may be. Our experience,
however, is that
Otis Underwear Fills the Bill
At this time of the year better than anything you can
buy, if you get it in a good medium-weight Balbriggan
make. It is always soft and kindly on the skin, is
Vif ?notJStt sven forchilly days, and it fits snugly
to the forth Jvithout being bulky or clumsy.
That's Why We Say Otis.
- No, it isn't a bit more expensive than good qualities in

, none of the other makes have. Drop in today and we'll
both show you and tell you why.

ing from a sprained ankle, which he

ness by turning on him nnd not only
abusing him, but falling on his leg,
causing the above-mentioned Injury,
which will require several weeks to
heal.

Simon Downs, of Evan court, had
Henry Schraeder, of Locust street, be
fore Alderman Kellow some time ago
on a charge of assault and battery,
