Mr.. Taft will go aboard the Tennes-

so as to form a long stick weighing
a pound, which they sell In slices, as

butter merchants do not care to use
either weights or scales. A simple
glance is sufficient for these people

tice. A very neat cut with the knife

The opening of the elder Watsons store marked a new era local
retailing. His policies were wide-awake, aggressive, broad guaged. He
projected currents of real enterprise of tremendous voltage for those
days. Merchants began to smoker. Confidential clerks of the store be-
came dubious. They deplored the idea of disturbing the peaceful tradi-
tons Of the trade. Those who couldn't be galvanized got out. The
new school of merchandising had no room for dawdlers VI obstruction
lists. George Watson was a man of inspiration and gumpion. Senf1-
ment was throttled. Commonsense came to the fore. The reforma-
ton was many sided.
He was a believer I'm the doctrines of 1.-THE Square Deal" lie never
iugg7ed with prices. He was the first to write prices In PLAIN FIG
URES, the first to establish q ONE PRICE rule; the first to adopt the
ALL WOOL standard; the first to sell READY-MADE CLOIHES;
the first to have a "plate-glass front" Gin those days a novelty.
Mystery had no place i'm his store. Customers bought freely be-
cause they did not have to beware. There were the goods, there were
the ~prices-both were RIGHT.
And the monument to this merchants genius, which to-day stands
at the corner of Broad and Market Streets, bearing his name, is the
logical outcome of his integrity, originality, enterprise, progressiVeness
and his sturdy adherence of holding to the truth.

VALUE OF THE
OVERSHOE

The overshoe is doing an enormous
amount of good. especially among chill
dren. in protecting the body against
tho chilling that results I'm colds sore
throats. chronic catarrh and the like.
1t is not the mere getting the feet
wet that is harmful. says the Dictetic
and Hygienic Gazette. IL is the pro-
longed evaporation Of water from shoes
and stockings that does the mischief.
The evaporation reduces the temper
ature about the soles Of the feet many
degrees below the temperature Of the
surrounding air. just as a wet bulb
thermometer registers lower than a dry
one
In fact the warmer. the drier the air
by which the body is surrounded the
moro rapid the evaporation and the
lower the temperature. Also the thick
er the soles of the shoes the more va
ter is taken up and the longer the evap-
Grafton goes on, 50 that thick soles
do not take the place Of a covering Of
gum. which keeps the water away
completely.
This evaporation and consequent
continued lower temperature goes IN.
especially I'm the house. when the rest
Of the body is in comparative com
( fort and the nervous system relaxed.
Wet shoes indoors are worse than
wet shoes out of doors. Some people
can stand this prolonged unbalancing
| of environment, but II takes a pretty
vigorous makeup To do so.
! II might be added that the wearing
/ Of overshoes that cover a large por-
| tion OF the foot when one is indoors
is not a good thing.

MANILA. Feb. 1S-Ten thousand
troops under the command of Cen
erals Daniel II. Bush and Ramsay ID.
Potts. directing respectively the'"blue'
and the "red" armies, were ordered to
engage i'm the extensive maneuvers in
the western part Of the island Of Luzon.
According To the rules Of the game
the "blue" army is the defending force,
and the "red" takes the offensive. The
program of the maneuvers permitted a
landing of the red" army at any ac-
cessible point between Subig bay and
the Iingayen gulf on the west coast
of Luzon, in the province of Zambales.
Major General Williams p. DuvalL
commanding officer of the army i'm the
Philippines, is the umpire of the
maneuVers The department of Luzon
is under the command of Major General
William II. Carter A curious effect
of the maneuvers has been the alarm
shown by the native inhabitants of
some of the villages and towns in the
war district. Believing that real
war had broken out, they fed TO the
mountains.
