Did you ever see a Mt. Vernon

matter, refuse to make a sale?
Well, you're going to see 1t,
and see it soon.
II you want the thrilling exper-
ience, just sidle into some store

hours of 7 and 10 o'clock, drag
out your hefty wallet, peal off

doesn't matter what-and see the
complete rundown you get.
Not II you offer a thousand dol
lars cold cash for some small
article worth 10 cents, will you
have chance to carry 1t home
as your own. The edict is positive
and absolute-no sales.
"The reason for all this?" you
inquire. Dress-Up Week, that's
all. The big gala occasion which
starts Off with a thunder next
Monday night and is sponsored by

Careful Car Drivers
Economize on Gasoline

soft tires require more power for
the propulsion OF the eur and add to
the repair bill If the motor IL left
running idle the amount of gasoline
used Is about the same as that used
for propelllng the car at the rate OF
ave or ten miles nm hour, says the Au-
tomoblle Dealer and Repairer
There Is an art In driving a car, and
good drivers are those who can drive
farthest on II given amount OF gaso-
line, Stopping the motor while coast
Ing down long hills adds to the zest OF
motoring and saves gasoline as well as
wear and tear on the motor. If the
motor Is stopped some time before
making an Intentional stop the eur
can be allowed to coast to n gradual
stop, thus saving wear on brakes and
tires, as well as saving gasoline.
There Is good average speed at
which every car can travel most eco
nOmically without wasting fuel or
time. II is, up TO each car owner to
determine, by test and practice, just
what this speed is for his own particu.
lar car II Is often more economical
OF gasoline, as well as easier on the
motor, to drop into second gear and
partially close the throttle than to at
tempt to force the car up steep hill
on high gear with the throttle wide
open.
Good drivers watch the road far
ahead and by skillful planning utilize
every drop of gasoline to the best ad
vantage. This is test of the drivers
mettle that forms game well worth
playing,

Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications. as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure catarrhal deafness,
Catarrhal Deafness is caused by an in
famed condition of the mucous lining of
the Eustachian Tube When this tube is
infamed you have a rumbling sound or i'm
perfect hearing, and when it is entirely
closed, Deafness is the result. Unless the
Inflammation can be reduced and this tube
restored to it's normal condition. hearing
will be destroyed forever. Many cases of
deafness are caused by catarrh, which is
an infamed condition of the mucous sur
faces. Halls Catarrh Medicine acts thru
the blood on the mucous surfaces of the
system
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Catarrhal Deafness that cannot
be cured by Halls Catarrh Medicine. Cir
