When a man takes out his
pocketbook and pays us $40,
$15, $50 or $50 for a suit, we
don't consider the transac-
ton closed by any means.
The salesman probably
told him good points about
the particular suit he bought,
and we consider it our duty
to see them carried out to the
letter.
For this reason we want
your cooperation and we
want you to insist that your
suit fulfills our representation
of it. or bring it back and get
your money.
Two of our special values
are our Sis and $40 suits, but
fabrics and styles are too
numerous TO allow a descrip-
ton here. We will be glad to
show them to you.

guests. 7 ate apples that ripened
more than 1900 years ago: bread
made from wheat grown before the
children Of Israel passed through the
Red Sea, and spread with butter that
was made when Elizabeth was queen
Of England. and ] washed down the
repast with wine that was Old when
Columbus was playing barefoot with
the boys OF Genoa
The apples which formed part og
the dessert were grown before Pom
peIi was overwhelmed. IN fact they
were rescued from It's ruins The
vine was recovered from an old vaags
in the city Of cofinth, and the wheat
was found in a chamber 10 one Of

Mystery Of Lake Tehad.

That strange African lake. Lake
Tchad, has been the subject OF re-
newed attention within the past two
years, and the fact that in a period OF
20 years it alternately increases and
decreases in size and depth seems to
have been well established. Four OF
five years after the beginning Of the
period the level Of the lake becomes
very low, and then rises again to the
former height IN 1906 the lake was
very low. According to native
records il was nearly dried up be
tween 1928 and 1898 Twenty years
later she level Of the water was very
high.
