seriously ill during the past year, he
had rallied successfully, and was
thought to be in good health dur
ing the past month. It was seldom
that he did not go to his office in
the Candler building and put in a
full days work. He did not depart
from this custom Wednesday, and
wnen he left the office at 5 o’clock
he was apparently well and heaity.
Late in the evening, however,
Major Hanson had an attack of in
digestion, a trouble with which he
had had some difficulty for the last
week. His physician was sum
moned, and every effort was made
to allay the suffering. The indi
gestion continued throughout ihe
night, and so weakened Major 1
son that he was unable to
stand an attack of heart troub!
the morning.

SURVIVED OPERATION
The many friends of Major Han
son, who have been rejoicing over
his recovery from the serious illness
of last August, were shocked hy the
news of his unexpected deeth.
There were many expressions of ad
miration for the fortitude with
which he had !>orne his troubles of
the past year.
When Major Hanson was ap
proaching his seventieth year he
was attacked, in August, by liver
complications of a threatening na
ture. He was told that an opera
tion would be necessary, and that,
in view of hi- vanced ag . s
chances for re- -very won be
slight. He co 'red the i ••
and decided to ergo the _ - -
| ion.
It was sue. 'ally per;
and, to the great relief of his
friends, Major Hanson seemed
again to be in good health.
As soon as he regained his
strength, he resumed his duties at
his office. When, on the 25th of
November, he rounded his seven
tieth birthday he went to his office
as usual, and seemed as hale and
hearty as ever. His friends who
called to offer congratulations
thought that he would be spared to
celebrate many future birthdays.

Said to Him, Said She
“Jack, you’re the best fellow in the
world, but you must pay more attention
to your personal appearance. .My friends
make slighting remarks, and they hurt.’’
There’s a big difference between trying to lie a “dandy” and look
ing “nice” all the time.
Some young men are simply careless while others are afraid they
can’t afford good clothes.
No matter what the reason may be, it’s time to get over it. a
To-day! To-morrow or the day after, the PERSONAL appearane#
of a young man may decide his future.
Not simply with the one girl, but with the business house contemp
lating employing him.
It doesn’t cost so much to look right, but that depend on where
you get your clothes
The right materials draped on the figure properly and made in the
mode of the present tick-o’-the-clock, afford the proper combination.
I have these very Essentials, and
It’s worth your while young man
To come to SEE me and
LET ME PROVE IT.
