But the Doctor ts a kind-hearted man, and besides, he likes to parry a bit. “Is this for publicath he asked. “Vm afratd tt ts," 1 answered, in my meekest tone, “but don't let that bother you." (From the Pall Msi!

Dr. Talmage raised his hand, t eo fast, my dear young Indy. When a man or woman acts acoording to his or ther conscience, and the mind Is good and true, no act can be without some Justification. Undoubtedly from my observation of chis affair, there must have been some cause for such vigor- ous assault, of which the public ts ig- norant. Myre, Nation probably had wome private grievancn which moved her, perhaps even more than her de- sire for public good. That ts the way with most of these extreme cases.” Dr, Talmage leaned back In his chair nd sighed, as though te had several h examples in mind, ‘You see,” he continued, “I have been eo busy getting ready ror a Western trip—I atart for Wisconsin to-morrow— that I haven't really paid proper atten- tion to this Kansas ealoon trouble. A good old family doctor down In Edinburg, Miss., says he Js not afraid to tell the truth about coffee and Its effect on him and the remarkable chango produced by leaving off and taking Postum Food Coffee in its place. He used coffee for many years, and says: “Of Inte years I have been so nervous that I dreaded to perform an operation, and my eyesight has both- ered me a considerable. I think about two years ago I first heard of Pos- tum Food Coffee and gave it a tri: I am not quick to bite at humbu: but the change In my physical cond!- tion brought about by leaving off coffee and taking Postum Food Cof- fee was a complete surprise. I began to eat well, sleep well, and in just three months my eyesight was re- stored, my nerves strong, headaches disappeared and my chronic catarrh of thirteen years standing was cured with little or no treatment except the caange in coffee. “Iam to-day stout, erect and weigh 20 pounds more than I did before giv- ing up coffee.

We started this important sale just one week ago with upwards of 20,000 pairs of trousers, and in six days’ time we sold half of them. That in itself is to our mind proof conclusive of the superiority of the values offered. There must be unusual merit in a sale to make such a record, and if you’ll look into the matter you’ll find that there is. We had these trousers made especially for the great Annual Sale during the dull months of the manufacturing season--December and Jauu- ary, giving several makers of fine trousers unlimited orders to be made up for us at prices that in the ordinary course of business would be an impossibility. And now we are in a position to offer you—while these special stocks hold out, Superior Grousers of Gvery Sort at Fully One-Ghird |Below Value.
