GENTLEMEN.

We want your attention for a
moment to discuss the Clothing
Question with you. A great
many of you are probably goinr
to buy a suit of clothes thl~
fall. Some of you have alreacy
decided to buy it of us; to those
we say thank you," we apprc-
ciate your trade and will el =
deavor to satisfy you more fuIl y
than eyer. If you are not e.
regular customer of ours, how
ever, we want to give you SOM
reasons why it will be to yea"
advantage to become one th t.
season.
We have laid in an exlra
large stock of Fall Clothing
carefully selected from manu-
facturers whom we have fouud
by experience to be the most
reliable in the u. S., copse-
quently we have a large variety
of styles TO choose from making
it easier to suit your particula r
taste, and every grade of suit
we handle from the cheapest I"
the hest represents the vtr,
best value obtainahle.
We have made the prices low
SO low that we cannot be
undersOld. The chances are
the same qualities would cost
you more elsewhere. Few stores
can sell clothing on as close a
margin as we do, and besides
We have a theory that we car
make more money selling lots
Of suits dt a small profit on each
one than by selling a few al Il
big profit. We may be wrong,
but our customers can't lose
long as we stick to that idea.
We'd be glad to have you
come III and make us prove
these statements-we will show
YOU clothing that is right il
every way, fit, style, quality
ard price. Don't delay, yor
may see some other man walk
ing around in the very suit yoy
wanted.

THE WOLVES AND THE PEASANT

One day as the Peasant was walk
ing near the edge of the forest, two
Wolves came along and halted near
him, and one said:
What do you here"
And may 1 ask the same question
of you" replied the other.
4 was told that there was the car
cass Of a goat hereabouts. and l came
to eat it. You can take yourself off
as soon as You please"
''And l was told that there was the
carcass Of a sheep laying here. and
give you fair notice that I shall claim
it all"
Don't be impudent. I have met
wolves with lop ears before"
And l have met one or two with a
limp to EN-"
The two beasts We're about to en-
gage in a row when the Peasant ad-
vanced and said:
Hold your tempers. please. The
carcass you are talking about is
neither that of a sheep or a goat. but
of a calf It is lying beneath that oak,
and there is enough for both"
The Wolves at once rushed in the
direction indicated, and. although both
could see that there was more than
they could eat. they fell into another
dispute
Il want my fill first" growIed one.
'As l am the Oldest I shall have first
feed snarled the other.
They had been eating and quarrel
ing for fifteer miau;e~ and We're still
at it. when the Peasant came saunter-
ing along to say:
You ran away before I could tell
you my whole story. I said it was

FIFE SWIFT SPECIFIC COMPANY, ATLANTA, Ga.
BUILD MORE HOUSES
They are Scarce Now and the Season
is Just Beginning.

\ Phoenix. real estate and renting
agent said yesterday that he had no.
ticed the item in The Republican a
day or two ago about the need of more
houses and he endorsed it. All he had
to say was that he hoped the papers
would keep plugging away along that
line until more people with money to
invest decided to build more houses to
rent. He says there is already a short
age Of desirable houses and the real
renting season hos hardly begun.
In line with the same thought he
said he would suggest that the proper
construction for this town now is flats
Of at least two stories. A great many
people desire to live close in and it
is impossible to find good houses built
on the country plan, with yards around
them, close in, and few people like to
live in a one story snack anyway, I'M
less it has a lawn and other surround
ings that make 1t homelike.
His idea is that good brick structures
of two stories, with modern improve
ments and conventences, will always be
desirable property and look well. One
of two stories in this coun-
try is on account of climate. The sec
Ond story can be easily rented in the
winter time, in fact everything is rent
able at that season, and one living on
the second floor in the summer time
has better ventilation and better sleep

PHOENIX UNION HIGH SCHOOL

the school year has opened auspi-
ciOusly in the high school. A full
corps of teachers, a large attendance,
and work we'll systematized in all de-
partments mark the opening of the
second week. superintendent Blount
has announced the raising of the stan
dard to 10 per cent for passing mark
instead of 20 per cent of former years.
This is to conform to the raising of
entrance in California universities on
whose accredited list the Phoenix I'm

request of Superintendent Blount,
Berkeley university sent it's represent
ative, President BabcOck of Tucson, to
Phoenix, who spent two or three days
in inspection of details of work in our
high school. His complimentary re-
port to the university brought the fol-
lowing official statement.
Mr.. George BlOunt, My Dear Sir:
[ am directed by the school commit

THE LEARNED PROFESSIONS IN
CHINA.

The number of native practitioners
with foreign training is rapidly in
creasing. Practically every missionary
physician in China has medical school
for natives. The result is that in due
time the leaven of foreign medical
knowledge will have Hghtened the
whole lump of Chinese medical ig-
nOrance. and it is probable that long
before China is ready to accept for
eign ideas generally, it will be able to
care for itself in a medical way. At
present the amount of unreIieved suf-
fering which could be relieved under
proper medical care is appalling. It is
one of the first things noticed by for
eigners coming to China. and it is one
of the last things they forget. It will
be some time before China can educate
enough of it's own people to take care
of the vast mass of humanity, but the
work is being accomplished and for
eign medicine is being favorably re-
ceived by the people as a whole.
Foreign trained japanese are becOm-
ing very important factor in the
professional situation in China, and
in dentistry their work is being felt
particularly by foreign practitioners
They are often well trained-mOst of
them either directly or indirectly
American trained-and they work for
fees which a foreign dentist cannot af-
ford to accept. They have also the
in general practice of un-
derstanding the Chinese and of read
lily acquiring enough of their language
to materially aid them in their work.
China has yet to recognize the part
the professions have to play in its ma
tional life. The ancient practice of
medicine and dentistry never was re-
garded very favorably, although the
necessity of their existence was under
stood. Chinese practice, as such, is
rapidly disappearing. and its devotees
are looked upon by intelligent Chinese
as mere quacks. The Chinese are TAX
ing to dentistry and medicine, and
even to the. law. Not because they
regard them favor ably, perhaps, but
from sheer necessity. If the physician
