Aouestion.

The inquiry as to whether or not we are
being deprived of that saline and oleagin-
GUS fluid of our maternal substance through
the excretories of our pellucid cuticle with
q sensible condensation of the moisture, is
at present pretty generally answered in the
Affirmative, and In this respect it bears a
remarkable analogy to the question as to
whether Jason w. Phillips, No. 80 east
Main street, is not selling by all odds the
cheapest and best fitting custom-made
suits in the city of Springfield.
1t is indeed problem both obstruse and
profound TO figure out any profit on the
garments we are turning out at the suicidal
price of $40 for Scotch Cheviot Suit, or
$5 for custom-made Trousers, but the pop
ular demand is for low prices and we are
endeavoring to meet 1t to the best of our
ability.
