Pay Cash for Meat
 and Save mOneV!

On October I we will begin selling on strictly cash basis. Nothing will be charged to any, body. Those who do not wish to pay for each purchase may buy coupon books good for s or $ ill meat, and a discount of ten per cent will be made, lnak- ing the books cost $2.7o and $4.5o. Unused portions of these books will be redeemed in cash.
 The credit system has proved a failure and is just as bad for the consumer as for the dealer. By selling strictly for cash we expect to be able to furnish bet ter goods and to save money for our customers. We hope this action will meet the approval of our customers and we assure them that everybody will be treated exactly alike, no excep- tions being made to this rule. dtf

HAVE THE SECRET OF DRESS
Ellen Terry, English Actress, Pays Deserved Tribute to Amerl-
 can Women.

Women's clothes in America have improved since 1SS3-at least, such is the belief of Ellen Terry, who, in McClure's Magazine, discusses her impression on this vital topic. India shawls and diamond earrings have gone out.
 All this has changed. The stores in New York are now the most beautiful in the world, and the women are dressed to perfection. They are as clever at the demi-tol- lette as the Parisian, and the ex- treme neatness and smartness of their walking gowns is very refresh ing after the floppy, blowsy, trailing dresses, accompanied by the inevita- ble feather boa, of which English girls, who used to be so tidy and ''tailor-made," now seem so fond.
 The universal white waist" is so pretty and trim on the American girl. It is one of the distinguish ing marks of land of the free, a land where "class" hardly exists. The girl in the store wears the white waist so does the rich girl on Fifth avenue. It costs anything from 75 cents to $50.

SCENT POWDER
TRUST FRAUD

WASHINGTON March Sit has
been revealed that although it costs
the government actually only As cents
to manufacture powder. yet official re-
ports pad the returns by making al
iowance for interest; depreciation and
insurance bring the book cost up to
81 cents pound
The trust sells to the government
at 81 cents pound. The government
manufactures $500 pounds annually
for the navy. and buys 100000
pounds
The inference In the minds of those
who have examined the situation is
that a deliberate conspiracy exists to
indicate fictitious cost of production
In order to justify the trust in charg-
ing the rate II does.
