CHRISTMAS SHOPPING
SUGGESTIONS GIVEN
Edward D. Shaw Tells How Yule
Buyers Can Obtain Best
Results.

To aid shoppers to simplify their
tasks and to get better results in search
ing for Christmas gifts during the final
10 days of the season, Edward D. Shaw,
secretary of the Merchants and Manu-
facturers' Association, today issued the
following suggestions:
Make out at home tentative shop
ping lists. Study your newspaper ad-
vertiSing columns, remembering that ex-
pert merchandisers have given inte.-sive
study to the gift suggestions carried in
these Christmas store announcements.
BY listing your gift needs and studying
store advertising you can route your
shopping trip and save many unneces-
Sary steps.
Get downtown early in the morning
Stores are far less crowded. clerks less
tired. and stocks are in better shape
during the first two hours after the
store opens.
Garry home at least your small bum
dies. Remember that during the next
six days stores will be doing double
their normal daily business, and that
annoying mistakes in the delivery of
your packages are far more likely to
occur at this season than at any other
time.
"If the article must be delivered, find
out from the clerk the probable time OF
delivery and have some responsible per-
son at your home at that time to re-
ceive the package. Much Christmas
merchandise is delayed in delivery
through failure to do this.
Keep your children out of the d. wn-
town section during the rush season,
unless accompanied by parents or some
responsible older person.
Make every possible purchase during
the next few days. Early shopping has
been unusually heavy throughout the
country this year, and the merchants
stocks are being depleted rapidly

GIRL IDENTIFIES MAN
WHO TRIED TO ROB HER
Walter Collins Faces Grand Jury
Action After Completing Six
Months Term.

After serving the six months SEN
tence imposed yesterday by Judge Ralph
Given in Police Court for larceny, Wal
ter M. Collins, colored, will face grand
jury action on charge Of assault, in
which $4,000 bond was placed, having
been identified by Miss Betty Longley
of the Herald Square Tailor Shop as
the man who attempted to rob her after
she had given him food and work.
Miss Longley testified that the colored
man entered the shop, and when she
refused his request for money and
threatened him with pair Of scissors,
he pinned her to table in the shop
and searched her clothing for her purse.
After an unsuccessful attempt to locate
the purse he is alleged to have pointed
an instrument at her, which she be-
lieved to be a pistol and threatened to
kill her if she screamed, thus making
his escape.
When taken into custody by Officers
LIE Foe and Browning of the first pre-
cinct a monkey wrench was found in
the defendants possession. This is
thought by the police to be the device
which Miss Longley believed to be a
pistol.
The larceny charge was preferred
after Collins was named as having
stolen suit from the shop Tuesday
and later returning wearing the suit, at
which time he repeatedly made the de-
mand for money.

Famous Cough
Prescription
Contains No Chloroform Or
Other Harmful Drugs

The use of medicines con-
tanning chloroform or dope to
relieve coughing is dangerous
and unnecessary. Now anyone
can get quick, sure relief with a |
famous prescription calle d
ThoXine, which contains no
chloroform or other harmful
drugs and is safe and pleasant
to take.
Thoxine is thoroughly eff
cient because it has a double
action-soothes the irritation
goes direct to the internal
cause, and stops the cough al
most instantly. Far superior to
cough syrups and patent medi-
cines. Also excellent for sore
throat. Quick relief guaran-
teed or your money back. 35c,
60c and $1.00. All druggists.

NEW YORK, November 10 LP.-
Dun's Review says:
The outburSt of great speculative ac-

wholesome progress that Is occurring
In widening circle Of business enter
priseS. Plans for the future expansion
Of operations also are engaging closer
attention and the composite outlook
with allowance made for the unsatis-
factory features which still prevail, is
