"HOW'S THE CHICKEN"

This is the form of greeting COM
mon to some millions of our fellow
citizens, that ought to be retired in
favor of newer stuff. Next time you
acquaintance greet him with "How's
nails or, meeting a friend of the
medical fraternity, try elbows tuber-
culosis'' on him. Then stand back
(wen back at that) and observe their
gratified expression. You will be
proud of the hit yu've made.
On the street few days ago 1 heard
gentleman of supposed intelligence
greet a lady-and without even
preliminary "good afternoon"-with
loud and joyous call of elbows
chickens. :" The party of the second
part, being lady, did not spit in
his eye but her own eyes certainly
did flash some and she remarked to a
friend that she was dead tired of
having a chicken tag on her just be-
cause she was known to possess a
flock of laying hens and that she
would like to get away from the
feathered beasties on the rare &C.
casions when she came into town.
81 feel as though these people thought
chickens were the only things l knew
or cared anything about" she added.
And, verify, even the Anticipated
chestnuts about the weather would
be welcome change to- the unfortun-
ate known by his fool friends to own
a few fowls.
Some time ago [ was visited by a
man who is quite prominent in the
politics and journalism of the North
west besides being we'll known as a
poultry fancier. Being fresh from
cordial 'how's chickens" greeting, l
spoke of it to him and the over
burdened heart of him was touched
and he broke down and cursed-not
wept, though he nearly did that too
and to my sympathetic ears unbusom-
ed some of his own sad experiences in
that line. 1t seems he can't 60 any
where on campaigning bent or in pur-
suit of his journalistic activities with
out having old CLOVIS chickens"
bob up serepely with his genial
below, to put him out of countenance.
It was pitiful tale indeed and when
it was finished we cursed together

Saws Farmland Threatened Him

William S. Mason, a farmer of
near Dover, appeared before Mag
istrate John B. Wharton, Monday,
and filed charges of an assault with
intent to commit murder on him by
a nego farm hand, Edward Mead.
Mead was given a hearing before
the magistrate and held in $100 bail.
Mason alleged in his affidavit that
the trouble grew out of words over
a horse which Mead had bought of
Mason, not having paid for it all.
Mason let the horse out to run with
the other horses, to which Mead
objected and after a few words
Mead picked up an ak and threaten
ed to cut Mason.

WELL DESERVED
The Praise That Comes From
Thankful Smyrna People

One kidney remedy has known
merit.
Smyrna people rely upon it.
That remedy is Doan's Kidney
Pills.
Smyrna testimony proves it reli-
able.
John Rawley, Main ST., Smyrna,
Del, says: 81 am always willing to
recommend Doan's Kidney Pills as
they did me more good than any
other medicine l ever tried. still
take this remedy occasionally and it
keeps me free from kidney COM
plant. What l said in the state
ment l gave some years ago, holds
good. For at least ten years l was
afflicted with kidney trouble that re-
sisted the treatment of doctors. l
suffered terribly from pains in my
back and frequently became dizzy.
The action of my kidneys was ir-
regular and caused me great an
noyance. finally began the use of
Doan's Kidney Pills, procured at
Clifton & Jones Pharmacy and the
results both sdrprisd and delighted
me. By the time had taken two
boxes, not a symptom of kidney
complaint remained.

Between
Ourselves

Made in Newark Week is q
rousing success-and r%ghtfully,
too.
This is the first time in tho
history of the INDUSTRIAL
CITY that any store has taken
up the question of Newark-made
products, and the scheme seems
to sound a popular chord.
Newark has a great deal of
LOCAL PRIDE, and 1t remained
for the B~amberger store to hold
an exhibition and sale of local
made goods and to show what a
wonderful city we live in and
how vast and far-reaching are
its interests.
"Oh, l didn't know this was
made In Newark" Why,
thought that was manufactured
in New York;"
These and hundreds of similar
remarks may be overheard daily
on any of our floors.
Once more the Bamberger store
has opened the eyes of the New
ark peoplel Once more the Bam-
berger store has done the I'M
usual!
This is the store that DOES
THINGS.

Almost every store shows a more or less
extensive line of fifteen dollar clothing. Fiji
teen dollars is a standard price the country
over. Realizing the need for something differ
ent and better at this price, we set about a few
years ago to improve our line. We conferred
first with this maker, then that one, and abb
sorbed the best ideas of each. We were willing
to pay more for our fifteen dollar clothing than
the average store, but we also exacted a great
deal more from the maker in return. In a
word, we made a study Of the fifteen dollar suit
subject. We delved into it deeper than any
local store ever delved before, but we have a-
complished what we set out to do, and today
we are showing a line of mems fifteen dollar
clothing the like of which has never been seen
in these parts before. Our fifteen dollar suits
are different both as to appearance and mate
rial from any that you have seen hitherto. They
are splendidly tailored. They hang in the same
way that the finest custom tailored garments
hang, and the materials are all new and ex-
elusive. Unfinished worsteds, cassimeres and
cheviots. All color tones in latest shades; also
hairline stripes. Conservative styles-soft roll
effects. We extend to you, sir, a pressing invi-
tation to come TO our store Thursday and see
what different" suits these are.
