THE requests Of the post-ofics clerks
for limitation Of working dav TO
eight hours, and for two weeks vacation
seem reasonable and just. The services
they perform are exacting and confniag.
and under the present law they are
often continued beyond twelve
hours. Tie best work an aver
age man performs is within
six and ten hours. Few men are able TO
continue to work to advantage beyond
eight hours. Oftimes the work done.

worthless and often detrimental to the

confidence in the consuming

appreciate real bargains is such
that we offer this morning
great fresh lots by which we
expect to double the sales in
