Whatever this
big Store, grown
from little things,

has done to improve the store
keeping of New York, it has
shown to the people what a
store can become by working in
the interests Of the people rather
than for its own profit.
We have spent large sums on
safe buildings; we have spent
large sums in educating our
boys and girls who had quit
school in past times to help sup
port families.
We gave to the people many
privileges which heretofore they
had not enjoyed and which other
stores have copied to our de-
light.
We have established relations
with the whole world to bring
the best merchandise to New
York. Forty of our people have
been abroad this year.
We protect our customers
from unworthy goods and give
them all advantages Of our large
purchases for cash at home and
abroad.

BOND THOMAS DIES;
LONG SLEEP VICTIM
Death OF Brother of Bryn Mawr
College Head stirs Dr.. FIex-
ner to Isolate Germ
WAS HIS BROTHER -IN.LAW

DIR. Simon Flexner, director of the
hockefeller Institute, has been spurred
to heroic efforts in determining and iso i
lating the germ of sleeping sickness as
the result of the death from that malady
OF his brother in law, Bond Thomas.
Mr. Thomas lay for three weeks in a
state of coma in his home in Plain
field, N. j., until pneumonia set in
and he died.
Mr.. Thomas was the brother of Miss
NJ. Cary Thomas, president of Bryn
Mawr College, and of Prof. Henry NJ.
Thomas, of Johns Hopkins University.
Mr.. Thomas died yesterday, after the
efforts of the two physicians proved of
no avail. Death, striking so close to
him, has spurrcd Doctor Flexner to re-
newed efforts in his medical research
in the hope that he may discover the
cause of this mysterious malady.
According to DIR. +. G. Ard, of Plain
field, N. j., Doctor Flexner has put as
sistants to work in the Rockefeller In
stitute experimenting on cultures taken
from Bond Thomas. The germ has never
been isolated and the medical profess
sion, so far, knows nothing of the means
to combat its ravages.

"New Providence Island does not

That is the decision handed down by
the state board of property to the ap-
plication of Frank NJ. Cellar, of this
city, for title TO ownership.
Mr.. Cellar claimed the island ad-
joined Hog Island and was taken over
by the American International Ship
building Corporation without authority.
The corporation disputed the claim
and said the island was visionary.
The board also named board of sur
veyors to look over the land in the
vicinity of Hog Island which is state
property used by the corporation. The
board will name value for the cor =
poration to pay for the land.
