I)T long ago a clever woman
M propounded this riddle;
What is the golden age in
man:
She answered 1t by putting the
golden age OF man at forty-seven,
because he then still has his hair
and teeth. and a reasonable waist
line and fair share Of his illu-
sions, but has lost the bumptious
self-conceit OF youth, gaining In its
place a sense Of achievement and a
mellow tolerance. a solidarity of
character that is sustaining and
dependable.
As l was trying to decide
whether / wholly agreed with her
or not, the companion question
naturally fitted into my mind:
When Is a woman in her prime?
At what age is she at her best?
And / found It a far more perplex-
ing eonundrum. Viewed from every
angle. II seems to be a movable
feast
The development Of man Is

never ran during that entire period.
There are twenty-three through

the most expensive, Al least, no other
country amongst the allies has been
harder hit in the matter of >tEe cost

Statistics just issued by the Italian
government show that the average in

tion,
( This astounding charge in the cost
Of living in Italy perhaps is due 80 two
principal causes. First. the great de-
probation of Italian currency on for
eign markets makes is necessary for
italy to pay almost double tl1s regular
price OF everything that Is purchased
abroad, Secondly. italy has been more
dependent than any other OF he allied
countries on importation of all isanu-
factured products.

increase the average income of each
Individual SO that he can live under
these circumstances. Laws have heen
enacted forcing employers to give in

ANNOUNCEMENT

In another colum of this paper you
will find our closing out notice. We
wish to say that since we started this
sale we have been very busy taking
care of our trade which has come in
and for this reason we haven't had
the time to get out personal letters
to but very few. Every one knows
just how the high prices have come
and still getting higher. In this sale
we are closing out everything in the
store at actual cost prices
People have already realized the
advantage of this sale and we have
had customers come in from all parts
of the county and are laying in their
supplies for this coming winter. We
feel that it is useless to do a great
deal of advertising during this sale.
We intend to get our advertising
from those who have already been in
and bought, who in return are telling
their friends and neighbors.
Anything that you may be in need
of this coming season, buy now and
save at least one half of what you
will be compelled to pay this fall.
We wish to thank our customers
who have already responded and we
assure you that we are arranging to
give you the same service during this
sale as in the past.
