impressed upon every member of his
family the great necessity of keeping the
sate closed until the dog got used to his
new home.
But Joseph neglected to tell one Of
his uncles, who came to visit, that the
dog didn't know his new master very
we'll yet and when the uncle went home
late Saturday afternoon he left the gate
open. The dog ran out and Joseph
reached the gate just in time to see the
animal running down Fifth avenue tow
ard Lincoln place. He chased the dog
for several blocks. but Russian wolf
hounds can run faster than eleven-year-
old boys. and Joseph was not able to
catch him.
The boy waited all day Sunday for
the dog to come back or for something to
appear in the papers about him, and
when nothing did he decided to go look
for him. So yesterday afternoon he got

Stop for a Moment

TO think of the old store and
contrast it with the present
one.
It has been an all controlling
idea. with us from the begin
ming that if we could assemble
under one spacious roof what
ever would best serve our pa
irons it would naturally follow
to be for our own interest also.
In ones home hundreds OF
small things that have crept
into it to make it what it IS
came gradually, one by one. and
day by day, out of the mind
and heart of the house-mother
whose dear hands have made It
to be the best place on earth to
you.
lust so this Store has come
to be what it is.
Sometimes it is harder to
do little, almost insignificant,
things than it is to do the big
ger things, but somehow they
often add much to our satisfac-
ton.

WORKERS WILLING ID
 ACCEPT l. 0. U. SLIPS
Central Railroad of New Jer- sey Has No Funds
 to Pay Men.

Elizabeth, N. J., March 9.-Em- ployes in the car repair shops of the Central Railroad of New Jersey here, laid off two weeks ago on the ground that the company had no funds with which to pay them, are willing to return to work and accept the com- pany's I. O. U. as pay, the Elizabeth chamber of commerce announced today.
 Merchants of the city have agreed to support the car shop employees in their wage credit proposal, it was stated, and will accept the company's pay checks without question and will cash the credit slips in exchange for purchases.
 M. B. Griffith, secretary of the chamber, said the plan was being drawn up in the form of an agree ment by the railroad workers and would be presented to the central officials by his organization.
 The credit wage plan contains one condition-that the work is to be re- sumed on six days week, eight hours a day basis.
 This would give employment to ap- proximately 2,00O carpenters, black smiths, boilermakers and general re- pair men. who were thrown out of work when the railroad laid off its entire force at the car repair shops.

GOVT. NOT TO LIMIT MEDICINAL LIQUORS Doctors Are Unfettered in Pre-
 SCribing to Patients LAW MUST BE OBSERVED
If Physician Acts in Bad Faith in this Respect He Will bc Dealt With a1 Permit.

Washington. March 9.-The govern ment is without authority to prohibit or limit manufacture and sale of wines, liquors or beer for non-bever- age purposes, according to an opin- ion by the attorney general made public today by the internal revenue bureau.
 The opinion. one of the most com prehensive dealing with the question Of prohibition, expressly states that there must be no limitation on the use of liquors except that prescribed by congress in limiting the sale of spirituous liquors to one pint for ten days. The question of limitation thus. the opinion said, is left to the good sense of the physician.
 Subject to this imitation" the opinion continued. obviously there has been committed not to the judgment of the commissioner of internal revenue and the secretary of the treasury, but to the professional judgment of the physician, the ques- tion of-the quantity of liquor that may be used to advantage as a medicine in each case.
 Doctors Are Unfettered
 As to this question, I think the intention was to leave the physician unfettered by governmental control, but subject to be dealt with criminal ly and by revocation of his permit If he acts in bad faith.''
 The opinion existence of which be- came known Sunday was signed by the then Attorney Gen. Palmer and was dated March 3.

Such Action Will Be Last Resort, Ex- plains Secretary of Amalsamated Meat Cutters and Butchers.

Omaha, Neb. March 9.-with a declaration that a strike will be our last resort" by Dennis F. Lane, sec- retary of the amalgamated meat cutters and butcher workers of North America. the executive committee of the union went into session this morning to consider the wage re- duction announced by the packers yesterday.
 The eight hour day and arbitration agreements on wages of packing house employees were expected to be the principal recommendations draf- ted by the committee.
 The wage cut would receive the consideration of the employees, and some agreement probably could be reached but the workers will not consent to a ten hour working day without protest, Lane said.
