"Who la thla speaking?" asked
Mr#. Brown,, startled.
"Oh, that you will never kuow,"
iiiiHWered the voice.
Mrs. Brown wuh greatly amused
and <i< < i?i< it to try the remedy.
Her throat improved, uud she went
to the party. During dlnuor she
^?hanced to overhear the gentleman
opposite ?ay to his neighbor:
'1 had an ouiuaiug expedience Hie
other morning I wan telephoning
and the wires became crossed. 1
suddenly heard a lady'* voice nay;
*1 have huoIi u bad throut, 1 shan't
be able to go to that dinner party.'
Just for fun I broke In aud Maid:
'Garglo your throat with cooktHg
Kodjt, and you'll bo alright/ The

surprised. 1 wonder If she took
my advice."
Mrs. Brown whh greatly tempted
to roveal her Identity an the heroine
of tho episode, but sho decided aho

Hhe made careful Inquiry of her hoa

said:
?~"1 Just wanted you to know that
I took your advice, gargled my

where to bo the mogt helpful.
If Christians allow the ruub and
crush of selfish ambition to deprive
them of their daily portion of heav
ly food, they must not be surprised
if they grow spiritually leaner day
by day, and if the peace of God
gives place in their heurts to the
discontent which 1h growing in the
world, notwithstanding the multipli
cation of our comforts and privi
leges.
Dally Heavenly Manna contains a
collection of Scripture texts with
appropriate guotationn for every day
in the year. Surely the little tithe
of time daily spent in partaking of
Its morsels of heavenly counsel can
not fall to profit all who partake.
It is published to do good?not for

enough money with which to make
all of these extravagant purchases?

WE beg to inform the trading public that after this date we will conduct our
clothing and gent's furnishing business in the store formerly occupied by
the Camden Millinery Co. We see that Camden needs and can support an
exclusive clothing and gent's furnishing store, and as our business has grown
so extensively in tliese lines iri the past two years, we have ventured the under
taking and will try to give Camden an up-to-date Clothing and Gent's Furnish
ing store with the aim of keeping our shopping in these lines at home. Camden
needs all of her own trade and we shall endeavor to keep'such trade right at
home by giving the right goods at the right price with the proper service. We
give you an idea of a few lines that will be carried in this store:
Hart Schaffner and Marx; A. B. Kirshbaum & Co.; Miller & Ambock's Clothing for men. Hercules clothing for boys.
John B. Stetson Hats, Eclipse, Arrow Brand Collars and Cuifs, Hole-Proof Hosiery and Wilson Bros. Furnishings exclusive
ly such as Underwear, Gloves, Hosiery, Handkerchiefs, Neckwear, Etc. Exclusive agents for James R. Keiser Neckwear.
In our main store we have more room to give to the ladies needs, the apartment formerly used for men's wear will now be
used entirely for ladies ready-to-wear garments. This department with all others shall be stocked with the best merchandise
that can be procured in our markets. We bid for your patronage solely upon the merits of our merchandise which enables us
to give a personal guarantee with every purchase. Our Mr. M. Baruch is now in the market, he will visit Baltimore, Philadelphia, New York and Chicago
with instructions from us to purchase only the best merchandise and die latest and most up-to-date styles for fall.
