The cold and unpleasant wealth.
er for the past few weeks, has, no
doubt, caused many people to
feel that the old suit is as good as
the weather.
This is good logic for a rainy
day, but when the warm days come
you will be surprised to know that
many of the hobby and most desir-
able things have either been sold
or the line of sizes badly broken.
Anticipating the wants of the late
buyer we have been in the market
the past week and repIenished
our stock with the most complete
line of Mems, Youths and Chill
dren's Suitings we have ever
shown, and will give our custom
ers the full advantage of having
bought them cheap for cash.

Dissipating a Fond Conce

When | smell cloves on a man S
breath my first thought is, That man
is a fool" He thinks he is concealing
the smell of whisky or some other vile
smell and he is only advertising it..
There is another reason why he is
fool. The oil of cloves. which is ex-
pressed from them by chewing them,
is an active solvent of the enamel OF
the teeth. Anyone who chews cloves
will soon notice that it makes the teeth
tender. That means that their enamel
is disappearing, and the next step is a
mouthtul of decayed teeth, which all
the odors of Araby the blest can never
sweeten. When will people learn that
the sweetest and rarest smell of all is
no smell at alll- Chicago Journal.
