Catarrh Cannot Be Cured
with LOCAL APPLICATIONS, as they
cannot reach the seat of the disease.
Catarrh is a local disease, greatly in¬
fluenced by constitutional conditions,
and in order to euro, it you must
take an internal remedy. Hall's Ca¬
tarrh Cure is taken internally and
acts thru the blood on the mucous sur¬
faces of the system. Hall’s Catarrh
Cure was prescribed by one of the best
physicians in this country for years. It
is composed of some of the best tonics
known, combined with some of the
best blood purifiers. The perfect Halls com¬
bination of the ingredients in
Catarrh Cure is what produces such
wonderful results in catarrhal condi¬
tions. Send for testimonials, free.

fWSHOES
Don’t get excited about shoe costs.
The press notices to the effect that
“$25.00 and up” shoes are in sight is
largely a myth. There always have
been $25.00 shoes and about one per¬
son in ten thousand would pay this
price. There always have been $10.00
to $15.00 shoes, and numbers of people
would buy these shoes—possibly be¬
cause they “matched a dress” or for
some other equally Important reason
There always have been shoes for
dress-up and street wear, retailing
from $5.00 to $15.00 for the past ten
years. Our shoes retailing at $5.00 to
$10,000 before tbe war, now sell at
$7.00 to $15.00, showing au advance in
price of $2.00 to $5.00 per pair.
We, as Ladas .a our line, have
always carried some of the newest
and best shoes for those who want
the latest thing in style and, of course,
merchandise of this kind costs more
than plain staple goods. These shoes
Interest men and women who like to
wear “exclusive” styles and can af¬
ford It
There always have been work shoes
$3.00 to $0.00 for hard wear. There
always have been boys’ and girls’
shoes at similar prices. The shoes of
this kind which we sold before the
war at $3.00 to $5.00 were sold during
the war at from $4.00 to $7.00 and are
being sold now at $4.50 to $8.00.
The advance in the price of our
shoes in four years averages about
$2.00 to $3.00 per pair.
Now, these are the facts about our
shoes, and it looks different from
the fiction which is being so largely
banded around the country about
*‘$25.00 shoes.”
The above quoted prices show the
advances which have been necessary
In our shoes, due to increasing cost
(with which everybody is familiar) of
bides, leather, materials and labor,
plus the Intelligent and efficient ser¬
vices we render our customers.
Don’t be talked into paying any,
fancy or ridiculous prices for your
foot-wear. Advances there are and
advances there will be—legitimate and
necessary, but nothing like the extra
vagent statements frequently made
about “$25.00 shoes” need give you a
moment’s concern.
And now a word of advice. Don’t
speculate In shoes. Don’t buy any
more than you need. Meaning, don’t
hoard shoes, as some people are doing.
If you buy a pair of shoes suit <1 to
your needs and take good care of them
and have them repaired when they
Heed repairing—keep them well nalf
soled and well heeled—you can save
a lot of money on your footwear.
This is intended to give you a plain
statement about shoes, in contradic¬
tion to the wild and extravagant
rumors so presistently published
throughout the country. u
