MEMS And YOUNG MEMS SUITS.

When we open our doors for business Thursday
morning, prepared to meet tho crowds that are
sure to come we shall offer the most astounding
values la new, thoroughly reliable Ready to-W Wear
Clothing of the high and medium grades that has
ever been shown in America. Nearly all Of
Mems new fine Fall and Winter Suits have been
consolidated into three lots and will be sold for
1915, Sll.75 and Sl4.75.
Many are marked lower few higher, but the
great bulk Of all of our suits for and
young men, as handsome as we have shown at
any price, right fresh from the makers, and suits
that we expected week ago to sell for $l5 $1S,
$50, 1922 and s25 go for SO rs, Sill rs and STATS.
Almost every style of fabric that you think of
is well represented in these three magnfcentlnes.
There are Black Chevots, Plaid Cheviots,
Striped Cheviots, Scotch Plaid, the popular Wood
Brown Scotches, Undressed Worsteds, Fancy Wor-
steds Silk Mixed Worsteds, Winter weight Serges
in the solid colors (black and blue} Black Clay
Worstcds and various other styles too numerous to
mention.
In this great line Of suits there are double
breasted Coats single breasted Coats, three button
Getaway Coats, some are made with double breast
ed Vests while others have single breasted Vests,
In fact it is most wonderful and complete line of
new suits and they all go for 1915, $ll75 and

newest styles and just from the makers hands, in

S6.75 and SS.75.
As stated above, we much dislike to demoralize
ihe whole market thus early in the season, by cut

HOW TO FIND OUT.

Fill a bottle or common glass with
urine and let IL stand "a hours; a sedi-
ment or settling indicates. a diseased
condition of the kidneys. When urine
stains linen il is positive evidence of
kidney trouble. Too frequent desire TO
urinate or pain in the back, is also con-
vincing proof that the kidneys and
bladder are out of order.
WHAT To DO.
There is comfort in the knowledge so
often expressed, that DR.. Kilmers
Swamp Root, the great kidney remedy,
fulfills every wish in relieving pain in
the back, kidneys, liver, bladder and
every part of the urinary passages. 1t
corrects inability to hold urine and
scalding pain in passing it, or bad effect
following use of liquor, wine or beer,
and overcomes that unpleasant ne
cessity of being compelled TO get up
many times during the night TO urinate.
The mild and the extraordinary effect
of Swamp Root is soon realized. Ii
stands the highest for its wonderful
cures of the most distressing cases. II

''In the town of Hanover in Ger
many" Evangelist Moody writes in his
bible class discourse in the August
Ladies' Home journal, "there is buried
German countess who denied the eX-
istence of God and ridiculed the idea of
the resurrection. TO further show her
contempt for christianity she ordered
that on her death her grave should be
built up of solid masonry and covered
by large stones bound together by iron
clamps On this tomb was engraved
her defiant challenge that through
eternity this tomb should never be dis
turbed. But one day the seed from
some tree, either blown by the wind or
carried by bird, became lodged in a
small crevice of the tomb, where soon
it sprouted and began to grow. And
then, as if nature had seemed TO mock the
naughty infidel, she quickly extended
the delicate roots of that Seeding under
the massive blocks of stone and slowly
raised them from their place. And
now, although scarce four generations
are passed since that tomb was sealed
that the most insignificant Seeding has
accomplished what God himself was
challenged to accomplish"

No matter of business in the probate

day of Mrs. Harriet Hendricks, wife OF
DR.. Alexander w. Hendricks, manager
of the city hospital, as to her sanity
The court room was filled TO overflow

were women.
DR.. Alexander W Hendricks. He said
he was 6l years of age and his wife 81,
He was Free Will Baptist minister
when he married her. They had trouble
and after seven years he left the min.
istry because he said he did not like to
go from a family quarrel to family
prayer. He then took up medicine and
practiced at Parma, Stanton and Paw
Paw, runninga sanitarium at the latter
place.
The doctor said the cause of his wife's
insanity was jealously, and the cause
of this female patient of his named
Jennie Venting.
Mrs. Hendricks is member of the
Muskegon women's club, a swell society
and literary organization. Each year
each member reads paper before this
society, and a short time ago Mrs
Hendricks read one on Insanity" DR.
Hendricks claimed his wife copied this
word for word out of one of his medi.
cal works, and that he wrote her other
papers for her.
DR.. Hendricks admitted that while
his wife was "insane" he bound hel
with straps which bruised her arms and
limbs, and that he gave her morphine

The strength which comes TO us from
eating nourishing food is better than
stimulation, because it is new strength.
The health which belongs to strong
body, well nourished by proper food
(properly digested), is the only health
that is lasting. The difference between
Shaker Digestive Cordial and other
medicines is simply that it helps nature
to make strength. 1t does not profess
to cure sickness, except as result of
weakness caused by food not properly
digested. Shaker Digestive Cordial will
relieve the pangs of Indigestion, and
make thin, sick, weak people as well
as if their stomachs had never been out
of order. 1t is gentle aid to the diges-
ton of natures strength .maker-food.
