toward the lessening of the ease with

There was on the market both surplus

Turning this condition to the advantage
of Our patrons, we contracted with factories
wishing to keep their organizations together
in dull seasons to make good furniture Tor
us at cost of wood and labor, and took over
the surplus stocks of other manufacturers
who had overgauged the demand.
Being new form of cooperative mer

and near.
Today there are August Sales OF Furn-

foreign countries.

Conditions have changed since our first
sales. Good manufacturers now make up
furniture only when advance orders are re-
ceived.. They rarely have surplus stocks.
And they plan their work to keep their fac
tories busy practically all the year.
All this is for the good of the furniture
manufacturing industry, but it makes
harder each year the maintenance of a
genuine August sale.
In fact, things have come to a state
where the public looks with suspicion-and
rightly so-on most of these furniture

.
The instrument is usually used first by
physician to check some acute pain.
Afterward the patient, seeing how easily
he was relieved begins to use the instru-
ment himself. In most parts of the coun-
try a hypodermic syringe may be pur-
chased by fifteen-year-old boy as easily
as pocket knife. This condition is as
great a menace to the country as the in
discriminate sale of firearms. A law re-
Gently has been enacted In the New
York legislature making it a crime to sell
a hypodermic syringe in that state except
on a physicians certificate. This reStric-
ton has little effect in New York city,
because, by crossing over into New Jer-
sey the instruments can be bought with
out restriction.
Comparatively few Americans addicted
to the drug habit smoke the opium pipe.
One reason is that it is difficult to obtain
the apparatus. Another is that it is not
SO easily concealed. The hypodermic
syringe is much more convenient and also
more dangerous. The opium smoker. who
consumes twenty-five pills a day. takes
into his system only the equivalent of
| one-fourth of a grain Of morphine taken
hypodermically and of one-haf grain
taken into the mouth. For this reason
the opium smoker is not really injured
SO much by his habit as the victim who
depends upon the use OF the deadly little
instrument, which he may use absolute
ly unsupported by his friends.
The chief habit-forming drugs the
opium and cocaine and their derivatives
In addition to these are small but dan
gerous group of drugs known as hyp-
| notes. These include trional, sulphonal
and several others less familiar. These
are all coal tar products and their eff
fects differ from those of the narcotics.
Usually they are more readily apparent
In the general lassitude Of the body and
the pronounced effect upon the heart
They have not been noted to produce so
| marked an effect upon the moral and
mental nature of the victim as do CO.
caine and opium. The victim Of any
form of these two drugs soon loses all
sense Of honor and moral obligation. He
will commit any crime to crafty his crav-
| in gfor the drug. In q certain sense he
| is not responsible for this because the
drug habit becomes a disease OF which

tional symptom.

By this method we present in our two
stores August Sales far superior TO any Of
Tered today or in the past by any furniture
house.
1t is this single big fact which makes
this announcement of high Importance and
causes us to give the August Sale this wider
publicity.
This is what we mean by constructive
storekeeping-to keep faith with the public
or else withdraw the Sale.
1t is the very antithess OF destructive
storekeepng and advertising. SO common
today.
1t is this constructive bookkeeping
which has built up the Nanamaker bust
ness now the largest in each of the cities in
which it is represented.
1t is this constructive bookkeeping
which has made the Wanamaker Sale of
Furniture a national institution. deliveries
OF furniture from the last August Sale hav-
ing been made in 80 different states of our
country and to more than a dozen foreign
lands.
1t is this sort of constructive storekeep-
ing which inspires us to extend this special
invitation to the people OF the country at
large who have the awakened sense OF cor
structive business. both public and private.

or direction, the headstrong subjects
of a distant government they would
not obey, the hayward constituents

away, too, from the mid-waters of the

the Mississippi itself, where lonely
boats fioated slowly down, with their
cargoes of grain, meat, tallow, tobac-

washington saw. This was Lord
Fairfax, who had been almost two
years in Virginia when the boy quit
school, and who was now determined,
Jas soon as might be, to take up his
residence at his forest lodge within
the Blue Ridge. George greatly
struck his lordship's fancy, as he did
that of all capable men, as daring
lad in the hunt and sober lad in
counsel; and drawn into such COM
partnership, he learned great deal
that no one else in Virginia could
have taught him so well-the scrupu-

merely to get away from the world of
fashion in London and bury himself
in the wilderness. His chief motive

was one which did him much more
credit, and bespoke him man and a

declared, to open up, settle and cult

fertile land he had inherited in Vir-
ginia, and he proved his sincerity by

Surveys Fairfax Estate.
In Washington he (Fairfax) had a
surveyor ready to his hand. The
lad was but sixteen, indeed, was
largely self-taught in surveying; and
had had no business yet that made
test of his quality. But surveyors were
scarce, and boys were not tender at
sixteen in that robust, out-of-door col
ony. Fairfax had an eye for capacity.
He knew the athletic boy to be fear
less Woodsman, with that odd, calm
Judgment looking forth at his steady
gray eyes; perceived how seriously ne
took himself in all that he did, and
how thorough he was at succeeding;
and had no doubt he could run his
lines through the thicketed forests as
well as any man. At any rate, he
commissioned him to undertake the
task, and was not disappointed in the
way he performed it.
Within very few weeks Washing
ton conclusively showed his capacity
In March, 1748, with George Fairfax,
William Fairfax's son, for company,
he rode forth with his little band OF
assistants through the mountains to
the wild country where his work lay,
and within the month almost he was
back again, with maps and figures
which showed his lordship very clear
ly what lands he had upon the spark
ling Shenandoah and the swollen up
per waters of the Potomac. Twas
all he wanted before making his home
where his estate lay in the wilder

a fire in the open woods, and where a
