POPULAR EXCURSION TO NEW
 YORK.

The unparalleled interest evidenced in the trip to New York covered by adver- tisement in this issue at once suggests to "would-be excursionists" the neces- sity of purchasing tickets well in ad= vance to insure an opportunity to par ticipate, as the sale of excursion tickets will be stopped as soon as the capacity of the train, which is strictly limited, is reached. Rate only $1.
 In the growth and progress of this great municipality there is much to as- tonish and amaze, to say nothing of in- terest, even those who feel familiar with its great undertakings, and all will do well to carefully examine the little leaflets, which can be had at tick ct offices, giving list of the principal points of interest and assisting in the planning of the days trip.

 soRosIs SHOES
Standard. of the World.

The name and fame of the Sorosis shoe has extended to every part of the civilized globe. And those who are con- versant with the many points of su- periority of that unrivalled shoe do not wonder in the least at it's great popu- larity. The ladies say that they never knew what real comfort was until they wore them. One reason why the Sorosis is so satisfactory is that the last on which it Is modelled is made in the SorosiS factory by experts, whose ex- perience and study have produced faultIess lines and proportions. An- other reason Is that ladies can be fitted at once, and from that moment there is ease and comfort-rlo breaking in process-while the style and beauty of shape of the shoe Is a perennial source of pleasure. 5e%
 There are shoes and shoes" made and put on the market to sell. They have a ''brief rum and then are dis, carded.
 But the Sorosis steadily advances in TaVor ana popularity from day to day, and as long as every detail in its man. lifacture continues to receive the pains- taking care and attention bestowed up- on it. and all the materials remain as at present intelligent people will have the sorosis in preference to any and every other make. .g
 The Sorosis shoes for boys, girls and infants are becoming immensely popu- lar. They properly train the growing feet and have the endorsement of prom i.ent orthopedic surgeons.

AT THE PARSONAGE
Coffee Runs Riot No Longer.

Wife and I had a serious time of it while we were coffee drinkers.
 "She had gastritis, headaches, belch- ing, and would have periods of sick ness, while I secured daily headache that became chronic.
 We naturally sought relief by drugs and without avail, for it is now plain enough that no drug will cure the dis eases another drug, coffee, sets up, par ticularly, so long as the drug which causes the trouble is continued.
 Finally we thought we would try leaving off coffee and using Postum. l noticed that my headaches disappeared Hike magic, and my old 'trembly' ner- Nousness left. One day wife said, Do you know my gastritis has gone?'
 "One can hardly realize what Postum has done for us.
 "Then we began to talk to others. Wife's father and mother were both Hoffee drinkers and sufferers. Their headaches left entirely short time after they changed the old coffee for Postum. I began to inquire among my parishioners and found, to my aston ashment, that numbers of them use Postum in place of coffee. Many of the ministers who have visited our parson- age have become enthusiastic cham pions of Posturn." Name given by Pos tum Co.,, Battle Creek, Mich. ,..

 GAMBLE-DESMON COMPANY.
 In consequence of the extensive im- proveinents each department has been enlarged, and in celebration of the day the store Is decked fin its best. The up- holstery department can best be de- scribed as gorgeous, and even in New York there is no handsomer' settings for artistic house furnishings than at the Gamble-Desmond company. Ev- erything beautiful for the decoration of the home is shown here, and there are delightully new ideas In house furnish ings shown on every hand.
 The shoe section is a beneficiary of the new Improvements and changes. Greatly enlarged and equipped with a splendid stock of the famous Queen Quality shoes, this department is in a better position than ever to meet the demands of It's throng of fashionable customers. {.
 In the millinery department there is also a lavish display of autumn hats, and some exquisite trimmings in the very newest colors and materials. Miss Garrity the head designer, spent the summer in Paris, and brought with her the beautiful French models displayed today. The hats built in the firms workroom also bear the French imprint and Miss Garrity has fairly outdone herself in her beautiful designs this season. There are hats for all prices, too, but all of the same high order so far as style is concerned. This is one of the Ganlble-De Desnlonds ideas in mill linery,s to produce as good style in a hat of medium price as in one of the most exquisite models. ..es -..,.. The house is 1lstifiably proud of the French and Irish laces, which have won widespread fame and are in them selves quite sufficient inducement for a visit to the store. The range of the stock is very broad, from the. most req sonable to the most exquisite laces shown in town.
 A visit to the opening would not be complete without a glimpse of the china and kitchen ware departments in the basement. One may travel all over the city and fail to find such a pleasing assortment of handsome china whose pIiC65 CetdSG to mousse The kitchen ware, too, meets all of the requirements of ideal ware, being strong and serviceable, with prices within the reach of. all.
 Countless other sections containing exceptional opportunities for wise selec- tion of fall goods cannot even be llinted at in nathis article. A visit to the store is essential to a proper appreciation of its beauties and merits.

which is to last throughout the harvest festival week. There you will find a faithful representation of the old barn, and, busy husking the corn, four stall wart young farmers, who sing as they work. And mighty well; too, Howe x Stetson is noted for originality of ideas in it's displays, and everything connect ed with this autumn opening seems to be unique4 gtt
 From basement to the top floor the autumn days are suggested by quanti- ties of sheaves of corn, pumpkins, au- tumn leaves and cattails.
 About 25,000 artificial leaves have been used in the decorations, six tWo7horse wagon loads of corn cut just as 1t stood with the ears of corn peeping out of the green leaves, two tons of pump kins, and two large wagon loads of catttails. The result justifies all the labor and cost, and to-day the exceed ingly attractive decorations shared honors with the goods displayed. The husking bee up stairs attracted thou sands of visitors, and the songs of the young farmers, who proved to be the members of the Arion quartette, under the leadership of William H Grab, have been the feature of the. day Only the old-fashioned songs have been sung and during the week the quartette will be at the store they will sing each day eight numbers. all of which are the dear old familiar airs of the coun- try. On It's last day the quartette will give a "request'' programme.
 There is one notable change in the arrangement of the departments this. year, the art department has been mov-. ed to the Pitkin street annex, a fact which the shoppers will greatly appre- ciate, owing to the excellent light pos sible in the annex, and which is so nee essary in the matching of colors.
