A superintendent of a retail shoe de-
partment in big down town store SAYS
Our sales are nearly IS per cent. lighter
the last ten days in month. If You
want to shop leisurely and avoid the
crush come in the last days of the
month. You ask me why? In this de-
partment, for instance, the majority of
our customers are thirty-da people
those who buy on thirty days time.
Human nature is pretty much the same
pattern. Our customers are for the
most part well to do, but they wait I'M
til the first week of the month to buv.

O, THE MISERY OF 1T.

Human Indebtedness touches bottom in sea
sickness. Life is held a feathers weight by the
unfortunate afflicted with it. Why endure its
atrocious internal commissions when Hostetter's
Stomach BItters relieves them instanter? Not
only relieves, but prevents. II is not always on
the "briDyr that travellers nausea is experienced.
Railway journeying. riding with ones back to the
horses or the locomotive sometimes produces il in
representative sfomachs. Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters is always the prompt remedy. The mis-
chevous properties of bra ckish water the evil in
flu nee Of miasma, unwholesome nnaccustomod
food. excessive fatigue, whether bodily mental,
the dyspeptic tendency bred by sedentary pur-
suits, the pernicious effects Of exposure to ex-
tremes of temperature or dampness. all these are
efectually counteracted by this genial perserva-
tive of health. Cures also rheumatism, kidney
and bilious trouble.

1t Is useless to try to find moths in a

saturate your cape with it. Then roll il

YES, it is dangerous when used care

gasoline bath in room without fire and
with open windows, you are entirely
safe, except from the odor; there is no
escaping that for few hours at least"
Gasoline seems to be about the only
remedy which can be applied with dis

to bear the remedy in mind.-Pittsburs

with silk, velvet, and the fashionable Jew

An exceedingly stylish garment for street
wear is the Derby jacket, depicted in the
accompanying cut. 1t is in tweed, with
turned down collar and facings in mo re
elk. The three-quarter length fronts are
rounded off and shaped to the bodice by
means of slanting gore, starting from

A completely new habit bodice is double
breasted, with low revers. showing a tie,
and in lieu of the ordinary short basque an
elongated one, like a mans dress coat,
dividing up the center, so that it falls easily
in place on the saddle. This has found

In this connection it may be well to ex-
plain that the question of cross saddle

EPOCH.
The transition from long lingering
and painful sickness to robust health
marks an epoch in the life of the individ-
ual. Such a remarkable event is treas.
ured in memory and the agency whereby
the good health has been attained is
gratefully blessed. Hence it is that so
much is heard in praise of Electric Bit
tiers. So many feel they owe their res-
toration TO health, to the use of the great
Alternative and tonic. If you are troubled
with any disease of kidneys, liver or
stomach, of long or short standing you
will surely find relief by use of Electric
Bitters. Sold at SOC and 81 per bottle
