It's human nature to expect much for your
money during this Sale, and it's the object Of
the progressive merchant to live up to the
publcs expectations. Bargains are incidental
to the growth of every store. They are counted
as the accidents of the trade and are oc-
casioned through various causes During
July we mean to make them fundamental
part of this business Take this SALE they de-
mand the attention of everybody interested
in good seasonable goods at low prices. The
adjective low in this instance does not give
sufficiently forceful emphasis to the values,
for they are as exceptional as any this store
has ever profered.

Speaking of Flies, some
may not know that we
have many varieties which
cannot be had excepting
through or from us, as
they are imported espe-

the best killers may be
mentioned the Benning-

three and only terminates at sixteen or
eighteen years Of age. The process is PAIN

the toes under the sole Of the foot. The
photographs show that besides the bending
of the toe bones under the sole. the bones
of the foot are less thick than In the nor

Welfare Managers Work.
From the Century.

How. then. 1t Is asked frequently, does
the work of the welfare manager differ
from that of the settlement worker? Funda-

poses are the same. and a knowledge of
good settlement work is tof great benefit

scope of the managers work, and for that
very reason. as the manager claims. 1t is
easier to reach the people; for the settle

be good while the welfare manager proves
that virtue pays for itself, better wages
and better positions being sure to follow
upon increased efficiency.

against the bad quality of food supplied to
the prisoners, and the protest was to take
the form of refusal to perform the usual
tasks on the men being called together after
breakfast. Somehow or other the governor
obtained the message as 1t had been raped
through all the walls. but he took 1t lit
orally as a plot to break prison by the
whole Of the convicts, SO he armed the
whole OF the warders to the teeth, taking
effective measures to prevent the assembly
on the morrow. This blunder had highly
beneficial effect upon the discipline of the
prison, for the convicts obtained not only
to which they had not been accustomed
but afterward enjoyed better food and more
humane treatment.

A Mans "Ten Talents. -
From the Saturday Evening Post.

From the Saturday Evening Post
When a distinguished mana Senator
Vest or a Senator Hoar-lives and dies poor
the obituary notices laud his lack of wealth
as at once proof of his superiority and proof
of his self-sacrifice. Is not this an exag-
geration of what should rightly be looked
on as an incident?
In theory. certainly and to far greater
extent than the eynics imagine In practice
also, men devote their lives to the employ
ment of the talents nature has given them
in unseifish service. And those talents
differ widely IN different men. Whether they
make large sums of money or not ought
to be unimportants The only point worth
considering Is. what were the results to
mankind from this mans commercial talent,
that mans talent for statecraft. The man
who builds up great industry deserves
we'll of his feliowmen no less than he who
furthers great cause In the one case
wealth was a necessity. and was the in
strument to the talent: In the other case
wealth would have been . handicap.
