An extraordinary scene was witness
ed in Calcutta recently when a small
trolley, studded with rows Of iron
spikes on which a Hindu was lying at
full length was being pulled through
the streets. A large crowd was follow

that the man was doing penance and
was on his way to the temple Of the
goddess Kali at kalighat The Hindu
had been several days on the journey,
ana was in a terrible condition. The
spikes, which numbered about t50. were
quite sharp. and the man wore only a
loin cloth. lie must have been suffer-

deal and have been to several
dances and places Of amusement
with him. Now, this young man
never comes to my house unless my
girl friend is here. He never has
taken me out except with my girl
friend and her gentleman friend.
Sometimes he treats me very COOl
and sometimes hardly speaks 10
me. and although I am OF an OPP
timistic nature, it often makes me
blue WHEN.
If he cared for you, he would resent
the constant presence of others. In
stead, he welcomes it.

him for your own good. Try to recover

The Millions of Cascaret Users Never

It is more necessary that you keep
your bowels. liver and stomach clean,
pure and fresh than il is TO keep the
sewers and drainage of a large city
free from distractions.
Are you keeping clean inside with Cas-
earets-or merely forcing a passageway
every few days with salts, cathartic pills
or castor oilY This is important.
Cascarets Immediately cleanse and
regulate the stomach, remove the sour,
undigested and fermenting food and foul
gases; take the excess bile from the
liver and carry out OF the system the
dceomposed waste matter and poison in
the intestines and bowels.
No odds how badly and upset you
feel a Cascaret tonight will straighten

Ladies' Tailored Suits

We have a few of those Worsted
Suits left that we are selling at one
half price. These Suits are not so
much different than the new spring
models, but they are odd--hardly two
Suits alike. We want the room for
the new Suits that will soon be com.
ing in.
When you can buy a good Worsted
Suit, that is tailored the best and
is almost as good style as any
you can buy, at one-half price, 1t
is surely good investment for you.
This is nearly our last chance on
these Suits, as they are being picked
up fast.
See the Suit you can get for $500
lit is a Suit that is worth $500
for spring; is not much heavier in
weight and not so very much diff
ferent in style.
At $1,000 are number of very
good Suits The most OF them are
in serges, both in eolors and black.
At $3.50 are a number of good
values. There are few extra large
Suits in this lot. These are Suits
that sold at $500. Now to close
at $3.50. You will find these
Suits not so much different from the
new spring ones.
Do not expect to find these values
many days longer, as the best values
are being picked up every day.
