Dangers of the Grip,

The greaest danger from La Grippe is OF
its resulting in pneumonia. If reasonable
care is used, however, and Chamberlan's
Cough Remedy taken, all danger will be
avoided. Among the tens of thousands who
have used this remedy for Ia grippe, we
have yet to learn of a single ease having re-
suited in pneumonia. which shows conclu-
sively that this remedy is Il certain preven-
tiv OF that dread disease. 1t will effect a
permanent cure in less time than any other

ardent copierS has taken the cue.
You'd think February made the
prices. Why in the world don't
people exercise common sense? We
could sell Bedroom Furniture as
cheap in April as in February. We
don't, unless it be Of helated lots
bought for February selling.
We sell bedroom furniture cheap
in February because we put the
buying power of the store on that
particular spot of the buSineSs-we
simply watch opportunities to place
great orders for February delivery
at prices less than the normal. AS
a rule you save a third to a half.
February doesn't make the prices
we make the prices for February.
They are the same in early March
while lots remain.
That's all. It's simple. But the
plan is not adaptable to many stores
so borrowing the idea with no
chance of living up to it doesn't
amount to much. Now, does it?

Germ Maneuvers.

The imperial maneuvers of the German
army this year will present some features
of more than ordinary interest. In the
first place there will be the unusual spec
tacle of two national armies, each about
$4,000 strong, operating against each
otner. The western force will consist OF
two Prussian army corps. and the eastern
will be made up of the two armycorps OF the
Bavarian contingent. The scene of opera
tions will be in the neighborhood of the
old French frontier of 1870-the country
east of Metz and part of the BavariaE
Palatinate. Boulay, or as the Germans
call it, Bolchen. will be the center of the
operations IN the second phase of the
maneuvers. 1t looks as if the German
staff meant to work out an omitted chap
ter of the actual campaign of 1870.
