The Money-Back Jtwvlrv Store
THE POPULAR GIFTS
<1 The day of the gaudy gift has waned. This is the age of sensible gift-giving
—the gift that not only posseses refinement, but affords to the recipient lasting
pleasure in every day utility.
€J And this popularity of the practical gift was one of the things that was kept up
permost in mind in selecting our stocks. Then, too, we remembered that there is
more than one gift to buy, necessitating modest pricing, and last, but not least, *
that each article in our stock must stand the test of our Unrestricted Money-
Back Guarantee.
€][ And of those things that conformed to these specifications we bought gener- #
ously, with the result that this Christmas season we are able to present to you the*
most extensive and meritorious selection of practical gift articles in the forty
eight years' history of this store.

"Every organization requires a titular

GERMANS TO AID
IN MESOPOTAMIA
(Contiiiuoil from Pago One.)
Macedonian front. Dispatches from
Athens partially corroborate this the
ory, as it is reported two German
divisions are co-operating with the
Bulgarians near Strumitsa.
Expect Attack On Persian Gulf
German participation on a large
scale in the Mesopotaniian campaign is
probable, according to reports reach
ing Switzerland. The naming of Field
Marshal von der Goltz as commander
of the Turkish forces in Mesopotamia
is i onmionled upon in this connection.
In some quarters it is surmised that
German efforts against the British in
the East may be directed toward the
Persian Gulf rather than the Suez
canal, as has been hinted.
Shoot 300 Mutineers?
An unconfirmed report that a Bul
garian infantry regiment mutinied
when ordered to the Galllpoll penin
sula to fight with the Turks has
reached London through Amsterdam.
Three hundred of the mutineers are
said to have been shot.
According to reports through Hol
land. the German lines in Prance and
Belgium have been heavily reinforced
within the past fortnight.

■■■■■because either the
squires had not sent their acceptances
of the election on November 2 in time
or else the prothonotaries of their
counties had not forwarded them to
the State Capitol in time for commis
sions to be issued. Under the law
every magistrate must tile an accept

Many of the justices failed to send
notice and yesterday and to-day the
mail of the department of the Secre
tary of the Commonwealth has been
filled with requests for commissions to
be sent, while some have gone to the
expense of telephoning and telegraph
ing. Several counties only filed their
lists yesterday and wanted the com
missions right away. As there are
about 2,500 justices involved, and each
man has to be looked up on the rec

had to work overtime to get the parch

Want Demonstrations.—State Zool
ogist H. A. Surface, who announced a

strations would end the third week
this month, has been receiving nu

offers of orchards for speciaJ demon
strations if he will send the men. The

will be necessary to adhere to the
original schedule.

on a question of hours of employment

Greece toward the entente powers
says:
"The government is simply playing
for time, hoping that the entente al

It cannot accede to their ntands."

FIRE AT LEMOYNE
IMPERILS PAIR
Mr. and Mrs. Milton Eiclielberger,
who live in one side of a double house
along the State road in North De
inoyne, had a narrow escape from
suffocation this morning when fire
broke out in their home. Ray Berk
heimer. his wife and four children,
living in the next house, were awak
ened by the smell of smoke and,
pounding on the wall, succeeded in
awakening the Eichelbergers.
The tire was started in a defective
flue in the Eichelberger home and for
a time burned liercely between two
joists straight across the house in the
Berkheimer home. Mr. Eichelberger
said to-day that he had a wood fire
in the stove. He believes the chimney
became overheated and caused the
joists to catch tire. Considerable dam
age was done to the interior walls on
the first and second floors of the
Eichelberger home and the flooring
