Chances

The overcoming prob
lem of how to make room for
the incoming new goods con-
fronts us. The only way we
know is to so reduce prices
as to make our present stock
walk right off the floor, and
this is what we are doing.
Summer time certainly
affords the bargain hunter a
grand opportunity.
Odd pieces and full sets in
every department away un-
der price.
An entire outfit can be
purchased now at a little
more than half the busy
season price, and this is still
more true of odd single
pieces.

Chicago, July 1S.-War has been de- clared on the great catalogue houses of Chicago and other cities by the 500,0O0 retail merchants of the West. In one of the most striking economic movements this country has ever known, the small dealers are fighting as they say, for their lives.
 The mammoth institutions. which employ thousands of workers. doing their business entirely through the medium of their bulky catalogues spending no money in the community whence they derive annually millions of dollars of patronage. are forcing increased numbers of home merchants to the wall and so their opponents claim are making commercial grave yards of once prosperous towns"
 An organized attack on the cata- logue institutions Is to be made by the Home Trade League of America, which has existed for several months In Chi cago, largely as a publicity bureau.

A Yorkstate minister who is inter ested not only in the spiritual welfare of his congregation. but in their phys ical being, says:
 "I can now do an immense amount of work and feel no fatigue, for the reason that I am using Grape-Nuts food and have quit coffee entirely and am using Postum Food Coffee in its place.

 It is well known that white bread is almost entirely composed of starch and this is difficult of digestion by many people particularly those who have weak intestinal digestion, The result of the use of much white bread Is a lack of brain and nervous power to do mental work. and 1t also creates intestinal troubles. because the excess of starch ferments In the intestines and makes the condition right for the growth of microbes; whereas Grape Nuts food contains the needed sfarcn, nut in a digested form. That Is, 1t is transformed into grape-sugir in the nroccss of manufacture, and delivered in the packages, ready cooked, and in such shape that it is immediately assimiiated without hard work of the digestive organs.
