The store has attracted wide atten-

doing business. The many men, most
of whom were skeptical OF the claims
made by the National U. s. c. g., who
have visited the store have been
amazed at the genuineness Of the offer.
The garments are identically the
same as those sold by other high-rent
stores for SIS. In point of stSle, range
of fabrics. tailoring excellence, and
range of sizes, there is no mUre COM
plete or finer stock in the whole city.
Every suit in the house would be a
good value at the regular selling price

ability to select real style and class

that is now displayed shows they have
reason for their pride.

]. BARLEYCoRN, BAD DRIVER
His Hands Shake, His Knees Wobble
and His Conscience Is More
Than Half Asleep.

John Barleycorn is bad chauffeur.
His hand shakes, his knees wobble, his
eyesight is poor and his conscience
half asleep. And anyone who permits
this reckless driver to sit at the wheel
of motor car is a menace to life.
That is why little sympathy is felt
for the Baltimore man just sentenced
to two years In the penitentiary be-
cause, while intoxicated, he ran down
and killed woman. And If this con-
vict fancies himself the victim OF a
great injustice, he should compare his
fate with that of the woman whose
neck his carelessness broke.
One does not have to be intoxicated
to deserve prison for reckless driving.
Nor does one have to be rich, as the
Baltimore man is. Indeed. the plight
Of this man should have an equally So
bering effect upon all careless drivers,
tipplers, teetotalers, plutocratic and
poor.
