Think of that and do your choosing
carsfuljy, judiciously. Make comparisons—
we khow where you'll buy.
Personal comparison of the various furniture stocks
tell the whole truth to the whole public.
And the people are comparing—we know that, be
cause we are selling to many new patrons; to people who
tell us they are going to “look around” but who come
back where the money goes farthest.
Goes farthest because quality when compared with
price is more abundant.
And now the “Blue Tags” put them within still eas
ier reach.
And in a sale as inclusive and far-reaching as this;
where setting down details and prices is next to the im
possible, character stands us in good stead—a valuable
asset—character—reputation.
The reputation of bona fide reducing prices that are
the real prices and prices that were right in the first place.
Substantial cabinet making and right prices—these
attributes are dominant features of this furniture stock
as a whole. And every individual piece that enters into
this sale shares in it.
The “Blue Tag” reductions will be in force during
June—but for June only—positively.
Furniture for parlor, drawing room, dining room,
bedroom, den, in fact every room in the house.
In mahogany, oak, birch, bird’s-eye maple, Circas
sian walnut and other woods.
AN EXAMPLE OF TBE PRICE REDUCTIONS
IN THIS BLUE TAG SALE:
A colonial China Cabinet with leaded glass doors and
ends. Fine “crotch” mahogany.
The regular price of 115.00 reduced in this sale to
90.00

THE DOCTOR LAUGHED
But the Woman Was Frightened.
A physician of Columbus. Ga., rather
poked fun at a lady patient who Insist'
ed she had heart disease.
The trouble really was caused by cof
fee drinking, and the nerves were so af
fected that it gave her every Indication
of heart disease. This Is true of thou
sands of people who are badly hurt by
the caffeine of coffee, and. It Is under
stood that If continued long enough,
real organic heart disease will set In.
The lady referred to above says: "I
had been running down In health for a
number of years and suspected that
coffee was hurting me, but could not
get up courage to quit It. My heart
troubled me so that I was very short
of breath, and could do little or nothing
that required exertion. I had fearful
nervous headaches nearly every day,
and was exceedingly nervous, with In
digestion and badly constipated.
"The doctor laughed at my Idea of
heart trouble, but knew that 1 was In a
serious condition generally. Finally I
was Induced to quit coffee and take up
Postum Food Coffee. The change has
been wonderful. I feel like another
person. >.
"My heart does not trouble me at all,
and the stomach and nerves are decid
edly Improved. My head does not give
me the old trouble It did, while the
bowels are regular without any purga
tives or medicine of any kind.
'T can hardly express my gratifica
tion for the relief from suffering
brought on by the use of coffee, and I
ran. not thank Postum enough." Read

high official yesterday In response to a
question as to what could be said to
allay the uneasiness In this country;
"Japan has made no complaint. There
Is no trouble between the two countries
and there Is no danger of war.
"The greatest fear Is from the agi
tation carried on by certain newspapers
In both countries, and from this of-
clals admit there Is constant danger.
Aside from this, officials will not admit
there Is anything which can not be
adjusted In the ordinary diplomatic
way.”
