of the Mattress Sale

On the first business day of September all our mattresses, pillows,
holsters and springs will go back to the regular prices, some, in fact,
will be a little higher than they we're before the sale began, owing to
a market advance in the meantime. -

sale you will have to be here tomorrow or next day at latest, because

II Pianos to Make Your
Choice From

Herewith is a list of pianos and player-panos of exceptional merit
that should all be sold at once because of their much reduced prices in
the August Sale of Pianos.
We particularly recommend the fine reproducing instruments that
are mentioned at savings of $125 to $400. Many people have never
heard the Art-Irio and Ampico, which is the most wonderful musical
production of modern science.

instrument in the list can be bought on convenient terms.

to build and hold business success.
The holding of the A. T. Stewart business remains
was not enough for any of the three firms that succeeded
to it to succeed.
In early days Philadelphia had two great clothing
stores, Tower Hall and ROckhil1s. Both were popular in
their day and left large businesses that have vanished.
There were at the same time three much advertised
concerns of once famous medical preparations that were
largely used, but are now practically out of sight, though
all of them built upon splendid and most honorable
names.
Times change, and what suited the times of Stewart
would not suit at all today.
Progress must keep pace with each new year.
Mere old labels do not count.

Bemidji's tavorlte screen star,
Theda Bara, will come to the Rex to-
night in "The Soul of Buddha," her
first effort as a playwright. The
play is a thrilling story Of the Java
isles and in it the famous vampire
beauty is surrounded by a wonder
full cast and some marvellous scenic
sets. It was written and staged spe-
cially for this famous Fox star.
The story as written and portray
ed by Miss Bara tells of the adven-
lures of a pretty half caste Javanese
whose mother consecrates her to the
God Buddha, as a sacred dancing
girl. The High Priest secretly loves
the girl, who has vowed to devote her
life to the worship of her god. Tir-
ing of her existence in the temple,
she elopes with an English army
officer, who marries, her and takes
her to Paris. The High Priest, fu-
rious, follows her and tells of his
presence by the Buddhist death sign
marked on the woman's door.
49, The heroine; firing of her life, be-
comes a dancer and is hailed as the
sensation of the day. On the open
ing performance of her sacred dance,
the High Priest, after marking the
"Sign of Death" on her. dressing
room door, comes to life as Buddhist
idol and kills the dancer who disre-
garded her oath. j. "-*'.

RED CROSS NOTES
Save Old STAMPS, !,

In this day and age, everything
has it's value, even cancelled stamps.
A considerable sum may be realized
by the local Red Cross chapter from
the sale Of old stamps
Do not tear the stamp itself from
the envelope or wrapper, but cut or
tear around the stamps, leaving a
margin of the paper. Stamps do not
have to be assorted, counted or soak
ed from the paper.
The price depends upon the quail
ity of the mixture. Foreign, or very
old Stamps, or those of very high
denomination will run much higher
than a mixture of current stamps.
However, all have value, so bring
them in.
E. F.. Netzer has very kindly con-
scented to take care of the collection
until a sufficient amount to ship has
been accumulated. Bring your stamps
to Netzer's Drug store.
The excellent dinner served in the
city hall by Mrs. Tom Smart and her
assistants melted the local chapter the
sum of 1881. The gross receipts
amounted to $129.40. & or this SIS
was given by Oscar Tilquist. The
total expenses amounted to $45.S9.
Those ladies who were listed as
donating lettuce, with the exception
of two, gave the delicious pies served
at the dinner. 49,.
Mrs. Smart is to be highly COM
mended for the splendid sum she
has been able to secure for the Red
Cross through her own initiative.
During the winter, her first series
of dances brought $40; the second
series this spring Melted $27, while
the two dinners enlarged the fund
by $1S3.51, in all a total Of $3SO.51.
