That depends.

be quite the reverse, accord
ing as the merchants decide
that it shall be.
Goods will be sold, and
those merchants who are will
ing to make a study of the
situation and adopt extra
means to meet the exigency
will be able in the Fall to
congratulate themselves upon
the dull seasons business.
1t is merely a question of
advertising.
That's all.
The merchant who is
shrewd enough to determine
now to make a study of the
art of telling people what he
has to sell and why it is for
their advantage to buy, and
to courageously apply known
principles, is as certain to
come out in fine condition at
the end of the misnamed
"dulI" Summer season as the
season is to end with the,last
hot days of August.
If any of the merchants of
this goodly city feel that they
would like to be among the
lucky ones next Fall, and are
not quite sure how they can
get there, the News will at
tempt to solve the problem
for them, and will undertake
to assure them of results that
will be entirely satisfactory, if
they will give us a commits
sion liberal enough in its
terms to enable us to apply
advertising principles that
have been proved successful.
We do not mean as to
price, which is regulated, but
as to method and substance
Of the advertising.
During the summer we
propose, if any advertiser de-
sires to have us do SO, to un-
dertake to see that their ad-
vertising is effectively written
and that the type used speaks
with emphasis and in a per-
suasive tone of voice.

enough fullness to fall prcttily to her

Women of the past decade were iI;no-
rant of the art Of cutting. Making was
the great thing in their 6sy, and thfn to
display the making, and the frills and
furbelows they distended their garments,
but now ideas have changed, and though
women may go in for full understands
when summer Weather calls for light
ethereal fabrics they VIII never, never
wear a crinoline again. 1t is bad enough
that they have their old friend, the foun-
dalton, back again. Lining throughout
was SO much nicer. Fashions must
change, however, and no one could be so
absurd as to suppose that women could
adopt the style ind stick to it forever, as
some would like to do for convenience
and economy.
There is not one scrap of clunisitiess
or bulkiness about the skirts. They fit
quite closely around the hips and are
really pretty and graceful. London Cor.

to whom she may safely open her heart,
and to whom she may appeal for sug-
gestion and aid in any emergency.
What a merciful plan for the many
not knowing which way to turn in sea-
sons of uncertainty and trial!
May it not be accepted among us as a
timely suggestion, by which many a
young woman may receive sympathy
and be led by the one true friend to whom
her name has been assigned to such adj
vancement as shall secure at least an
honest independence and bring into some
stinted life a brightness never dreamed

Our daughter, twelve years old,
has always been sick from weakness
Of the stomach aud limbs; pain
across her back, and general de-
bility have kept her from school.
We could not get help for her from
the several doctors whom we tried.
The countless medicines We bought
gave her no benefit. Her appetite
never was good; all she ate was .
few mouthfuls of graham bread at
meal. Last summer we lost all
hope, for we were afraid Of her
dying of consumption. Six weeks
ago she could not walk two hun
dred yards without getting very
tired. Now she can walk to the
city, two miles, and back, without
the least WEAKNESS; her appetite 10
such, she relishes anything hearty
man would wish to eat. For the
fret time in her life she knows
what health is.

years have had severe sick head
aches. Nothing ever eased them
until l used
croder's Syrup,
which has wrought . permanent
cure. No less than sir physicians,
and medicines without number, have
failed to help me.
The father speaks: I have had
dyspepsia almost ever since l can
remember. OF course l was better
sometimes than Others, but l have
always suffered with vomiting, dis
tress in the stomach and bowels,
dizziness, and habitual constipation
