It Could Be Done and right prices did it. & Our Sales for the year ending Dec. J, J 920, were only 7 per cent less than for 12 months preceding, and this difference was more than taken up in lost profits. Our Sales for November and Decem ber just past totaled well over $16,000,00 -the hardest two months' most merchant ever put through. We mention this only to show you that we do "Sell 'Em for Less" and Sell 'Em, and that a big proportion of our present big stock is replacement on the new low market. Our prices will prove it.

Te prevent the greatest tragedy wn eight ^reat Americas organisation?, ef Council, arc seeking 133,000,000 fer IMITATE CUSTOMS OF WEST Manchu Women on Street? of Peking Use Rouge, but In Manner Pro nounced Clumsy. Tho Hrst strikingly surprising cus tom among the citizens of Peking ls that thc women wear skirts, James A. Muller writes In the National Geo graphic Magazine. To a traveler fresh from America, this would seem ns it should be, but to one resident In the land of trousered women lt appears almost Immodestt They not only wear skirts; they further approximate western usage by painting their faces. Broadway ls na ture itself in comparison ; for in Pe king there nre no light, artistic touches, hut bold cheek circles of red upon frankly whitened faces-coim t tc unabashed. These are tho Manchu women. The Manchu men, descendants of the rov ing Tartars, go futilely about this spa cious city of their fathers balancing trick birds upon their wrists; for, now that the empire Is no more, their only occupation, that of ruling, ls gone, and the conquered Chinese, Immemorial city dwellers, are masters of tho cap ital. It ls a significant Illustration of tho age-old ability of tho Chinese to absorb and enervato tholr conquerors. Nnpoloon I died cloven days aftor 1 making his will.

Georges Carpen tier ls a smart fellow -that Is, he ls something more than a fighter. One might even cnll the Frenchman a prophet. "The one that gets In the first punch will win," he said, referring to his coming match with Dempsey. Weil let lt go at that so far as the next world's championship heavy weight fight goes. But Just look around und see If you have a punch in your system and if you can land it first. How hard can you sock at your Job? What ls your batting average In the a. in. Or can you take a punch as well as give one? They called Tris Speaker a miracle pilot because he put the punch Into a ball club that copped tho world title. He nlways made lt a point to land first on the scoreboard and when h? didn't he kept slugging away until he usually had his lead at thu end of thc game. Man o' War ls called tho greatest horse the world hus over had. But the Biddle colt ls Just a horse that puts the best he has Into every race and al ways Man o' War finishes ahead of the dust. The football star who "hits 'em first" is usually on the honor roll when the cleats are hung up at the end of the season. It's the punch (hat counts, from mar bles to K. O.-Chicago Evening Post.
