" HERE are all kinds of vacuums,
but the one which impresses me
most is the one in my head when
it comes to writing about vacuum
goods. / always thought they began
and ended with thermos bottle, but
at the House Furnishing Store of j.
Franklin Miller, 1912 Chestnut
Street, / had a rude awakening. It
seems there are lots of vacuum arti-
cles, made by different firms, all hav-
ing good points, and that bottle Is
only one of the dozens of shapes. For
hot coffee Miller's have tall nickel
finish tankards, or decanters; for
water or milk, carafes in various
finish, nickel for the dining room,
mahogany for the living room, and
pink, blue or lavender enamel, some
hand painted, for the bedroom; and
any of these make splendid gifts.
" RYING to catch shy birds by
sprinkling salt on them is quite
- out of date. If you wish to land
one you must bait your trap with
cheese, for men no more than mice
can resist enticing cheeses, especially
when bought at E. Bradford Clarke
Company, 1920 Chestnut Street.
Should you stand in need of some
thing extra fine they still have gen.
uine French Roquefort, but New
York State supplies the tasty do
nestle Edams, so like the Red Dutch
Heads we enjoyed of yore. Then
there are Pineapple cheeses made by
the famous Nortons; individual tins
of American Camembert; Mac
Laren's Imperial cream cheese, in
little jars, all most appetizing with
salad or crackers. And last, but not
least, cans of Welsh Rarebit, war
ranted not to rope or string at your
Welsh Rarebit party.
COON there will be a big rush in
Sthe shops, and those who intend
Ohaving Christmas cards espe-
cially engraved should place their
orders at once. Already scarcity of
engravers exists, and each new draft
lessons the remainder, but A. Pome-
rantz & Co., 1926 Chestnut Street,
are ready and waiting for you. They
have a well-selected line of Christ
mas and New Year cards, and while
plenty bear good old-fashion Yule-
time greetings, most have patriotic
devices and verses suitable for sailor
or soldier lads, or appropriate to the.
times. One of the newest has a
turneddown end which conceals a
wee envelope bearing the words:
"War brings many changes, but
Christmas is the same,
And this little thrift stamp I'm
sending in its name."
VXTITH the whole city on the
" "water wagon" people have
been considering what to
drink in place of plain Schuylkill,
which has no curative properties,
and to which, remembering past i'm
purities, they have rooted objections.
Many have already discovered that
the Mountain Valley Water, sold at
71S Chestnut Street, is a pure, pal
, atable, delicious spring water; pre-
ventive of illness, as we'll as health
restorer. At the present time moth
ing could be better for keeping in
good condition than drinking
Mountain Valley Water in quantities.
Most of the ills the flesh is heir
to are traceable to faulty assimila-
tion with incomplete elimination of
waste matter, and a consequent ac-
emulation of poison in the body and
blood. This condition is avoidable
by drinking daily few pints of this
health-giving water.
TN THESE strenuous times when
men are driving themselves to
i the limit of endurance they are
glad to be relieved of the bother Of
ordering clothes, and are seeking the
Ready-Made Department of Jacob
Reeds Sons. 1424-26 Chestnut Street,
where the constant endeavor is to
supply the right suit to the right
man. Long years of experience have
shown that men fall under a certain
number of physical types, and the
styles, lines and fabric most be-
coming to each type have been
scientifically worked out. The short,
fat man may lean toward check
suit, or the tall, lanky man to a
high-cut waist line and stripes, but
if they listen to the voice of Reason
speaking through a Reeds salesman
| lneV Will nOt MAKE INC mistake OF
buying garments which accentuate
their physical peculiarities.
"HE boastful Captain John
| Smith, of Pocahontas fame, tells
u us that when he was condemned
to die, the chief sat on a great robe
of raccoon skins with "all the tails
hanging by" Though some hundred
years ago, the Indian fashion of
having tails changing by" still per-
sists, and in Bonwit & Teller's fur
sets 1t is hard to decide which is
, more important, the tails or the
piece, so literally are they supplied
with these appendages. One hand
some, long, straight skunk scarf has
! row Of tails on the ends, another
half way up, with muff to match.
! A captivating cross-fox set has tails
! so bushy it Is marvel the animals
! ever bore them. As for the mole
well. Nature forgot its postscript
} so mole scarfs have to be satisde3
with little dancing balls.
