Something You Can See in Any Restaurant or Cafe, A physician puta the query: Haye you never noticed in any Iarge restaurant at lunch or dinner time the large number of hearty, vigorous old men at the tablen; mea whose ages run from 60 to 80 years; many of them bald and all porhaps gray, but none of them feeble or venile? Perhaps the spectacle is so common as to have escaped your observation or comment, but nevertheless it is an object lesson which means something. If you will notice what these hearty old |fellows are eating you will observe that they are not munching bran crackers nor gingerly picking thelr way through a menu card of new-fangled health foods; on the contrary, they seem to prefer a juicy roast of beef, a properly turned loin of mutton, and even the deadly brolled lobster 1s no altogether ignored, =~ Tho polnt of (allvthis ts that w vigorous old age depends upon good digestion and | plenty of wholesome food, and net upon ‘dieting and an endeavor to live upon bran crackers, . ‘Thero ts « certain class of food cranks who seem to believe that meat, coffee, and many other good things are rank polsons, iam I, Bang, ten years ago. but these cadaverous, sickly-looking ind\- Some “Old Residents.’ viduals are alking condemnation of their ‘Like all long-popular hotels, the Btur- own theor' tbyant is associated with many mem- The matter in a nutshell ts th Glen of famous folk and incidents, stomach secretes the natural dij se inea’ the he Juices in suffictont quanti wealthy widow; Joseph H.

Think of What You Get & How YouGetit. All-wool linings as well as all-wool fabrics, the best of canvases and haircloths, hand-made buttonholes, hand-sewed and hand-felled collars,wide facings to the coats. All these are tailoring technicali- ties that in themselves mean little to you, but that give a garment style and grace and durability, and all the clothing we sell is made on those specifications. There’s no ready-to-wear clothing produced that can be superior to what we give you and there’s no made-to- measure garments that can fit better or be better fashioned. Con- sidering, then, the kind of clothing we sell, when we offer you a choice of our entire stock of Winter Suits and Overcoats at the bargain must be apparent, Both the Suits and Overcoats from which we are asking you to make a selection sold ug to $27.50. All styles, all rabrics, all colors, and the best in the entire stock at $12.75. In other words, if you come te us to pay more than $12.75 to- morrow, we couldn't supply you, for every Suit and Overcoat is marked down to that price irrespective of what it cost or sold for originally. — ’ The Easy Paying Way. There's a way of buying here that makes even this reduced price seem insignificant; for we’re willing tocharge anything you purchase, and you may pay us in very small amounts, weekly or monthly. If you would but once trouble yourself to learn all about our plan for making paying easier, we’re sure you would let us open an account for you, and after that everything that you or your family required could be bought and charged and paid for when most convenient, in sums that could be readily spared.

Fitzsimmons’s Remarkable How Dowie Purposes Puri- Lady Bountiful and Her Friends Snapshotted, What a surprise if you were to wake up to-morrow to find that the cold snap had gone and that summer heat had arrived in full force! It would be no more strange, however, than to find any one who could not enjoy at least some feature of next Sunday's World, Tt wiil be found to be a particularly diversified number, with some thing to interest all kinds of readers. Of course, we cannot giw you more than a fleeting idea of ~hat it will contain. But the fol lowing paragraphs may suggest s.moething of what you may expect In the Magazine Section. Leo XIII. 93 Years Old, 25 Years as Pope. A portrait of His Holiness Pope Leo XIII. is always of greai interest, but especially so to-day, when the twenty-fifth anniversary of his ascension to the Papal throne is being celebrated throughout the Christian world. Artists of every nation unite in declaring that Leo XIII. is one of the most wonderful of men from an artistic standpoint. His unusual pallor, through which his very life seems to shine; his supernatural expression, make him extremely difficult to paint. By far the most successful of all artists who have tried to reproduce Leo XIII.’s likeness is Franz Lenbach, whose portralt of the Pope is not only considered the most faithful likeness ever painted of the Papal Pontiff, but has added interest in being the most recent. This fine painting has recently been added to a New York art collector's private gallery, and exceptional opportunities have thus been afforded the Sunday World in reproducing it. It will be presented as the first page of next Sunday’s Magazine, printed in the original colors. Legacy to Jeffries. Strange wills have often been made, to tax the patience of heirs, but nov more remarkable legacy was ever devised than that by which Robert Fitzsimmons, the great pugilist, has just bequeathed all his science and ring generalship to his successor as champion, Mr, Jaines J. Jeffries, I: hardly seems possible, and perhaps it is rather irregular, for a man to bequeath something so intangible as physical prowess and brute force, but Mr. Fitzsimmons is perfectly in earnest, and so far as his intentions go his will, which took effect yesterday, is a legal document which must stand. His reae eons for what he has done are excellent reading. Rogues’ Gallery for Fortune- Hunting Bogus Lords. ‘The people of Missouri are notoriously sceptical. They want to te “shown.” But they want more than that in the latest instance, So many American girls have been “taken in” by bogus English nnd European “men of title” that the Missourians have begun to fear for the fair maids of their State, and a bill has been introduced in the Missouri Legislature whereby a regular rogues’ gallery is to be made up of professional fortune-hunters from abroad who are in the habit of trying to entrap Yankee heiresses, The plan Is not such a bad one, as you will see after reading its details. How to Run a Mile in Your Room. The Sunday World’s School of Physical Culture, conducted by Prof. leonide Wanger, has become one of the most popular institue tions in the country, judging by the number of letters received-from those who wish to have Prof, Wanger show them how to galm strength. Next Sunday the regular lesson will be given, and if you follow the course of instruction laid down you will certainly find yourself benefited. It will tell you how to develop yourself by track exercises in your own sleeping apartment. | AMuch-Punctured President President Roosevelt is the most punctured’ Chtef Executive the nation ever had. Of course, the slings and arrows of criticism have hit other Presidents just as hard and often as they have him, but we don’t refer to that kind of puncture. It is the real wound to which We nave reference. Mr. Roosevelt from his youth hee been a devotee of the streuvous Ife, and in the course of his hunting, footbali fighting riding and driving careers has met with many a misadventure, The Sunday World will show you in an interesting manner the various things that have happened to Mr. Roosevelt, and you will wonder Low he has survived them all. fying New York. It may be a matter of regret to some of us that “Hlijah” Dowie, the head of a Western sect known as Zionists, has postponed hie crusade on New York City for a few months. We shall have ta walt a little longer than we expected before our course of purifica- tion sets in. Be not faint-hearted, any of us, however, for Mr, Dowle has not abandoned his trip entirely, and the methods by which he intends to drive sin out of us and meke us as good as he is will go into force whenever he comes, He has just given a good idea of what these methods are to be to a Sunday World writer, and you will learn of them next Sunday. Besides these fow features we call your attention to illustrated articles by well-known writers on timely subjects, dealing with almost every element of human interest. We also ask you to re- member that the Comic Supplement, with new blood infused into its already lively veins, will present a better lot of funny pictures tham ever, among them being— 7 The Two Jolly Jackies and a Strange Craft, The Amateur Cracksmen, The Chicken and the Filipino, and Others Who Will Make You Laugh,
