1t is our business to survey the furniture

All business conditions being considered, we
are warranted in believing that general prices at

It is matter not of belief, but of fact, that
Wanamaker August Sale prices on furniture are
10 to so per cent lower than general market

And that even Wanamaker August Sale
prices have but four more selling days to last;
And that qualities are as excellent az when

highest that could possibly be said in praise of
any furniture.

Something to

FORWARD, BACKWARD
By F. n. WALKER

u VERIFYING in nature is moving
IL toward great purpose. There is
no inactivity in the atoms or in the
spheres; no turning backward, no in
decision but constant movement in
a forward direction, carrying us away
from the yesterdays to new dawnings
and new days.
OF the earth i'm its prescribed orbit,
the rising and the setting of the sun,
the coming and the going of the sea-
sons, the blooming and the fading of
verdure and flowers, all bear evidence
Of progress, and eternal life.
Being q minute part of nature per-
forming your little role in the great
scheme of creation, reciting your lines,
do you ever pause to ask yourself
whether you are moving forward or
backward?
In spite of any thought you may
entertain in the matter, you are going
ahead or drifting behind, just as sure
~ as the roses bloom in summer and
the SHOWS blanket the ground in win

You are better equipped for your
life-work today than you were yester-
day. or less efficient.
Your mental and physical forces
have undergone an imperceptible
change and you have changed with
them
You are a trifle more dexterous In
your work or slightly more clumsy.
In the last "a hours you have not
remained in a quiescent state, for the
laws Of motion have been silently at
work, carrying you step or two for
ward or backward, setting you down
at the threshold of new day slight

which you may or may not observe as
you take hold Of today's duties.
Before night, however, you may be-
come conscious of a newborn power
or a lack Of 1t, and wonder what the
transformation means.
It's significance Is clear. You are
going forward or backward, keeping
in accord with the eternal motion Of
things Of which you are a part.
If you would move forward, keep
step with the men and women who
are laboring and achieving in the
great purpose, you must watch your
every thought, impulse and act, and
ask yourself at the beginning of each
day whether you are pressing toward
victory or turning toward defeat.
Forward or backward?" ought to
be your initial question at dawn, and
your final query at night. Let this
self-examination become a habit, and
