O F
As usual I would desire to inform, the public that I am
prepared to show a larger and more complete line of Clothing
in made to order or in ready-made than ever before. The
designs are neat, and prices right. Can say, and you will
agree with me after inspecting the stock, that I never had
such a nice assortment of Spring and Summer Clothing as
is now displayed in my store.
Men's Suits, $3.50 up.
Boys' Suits, $1.50 up.
Knee Pants, 25c up.
Men's Pants, 50c up.
Everything else proportionately low in price, including
Hats, Caps, Shirts, Neckties, Umbrellas and in fact anything
that Men or Boys wear, excepting shoes.

In hot weather there is more
rest in a Hammock in five min-utes
than on a couch in ten or a
chair in thirty. The total relax-ity

A Hammock, properly

vary with quality but you can
get a good one for $1.00.

Do you
headache?
Is there a bad taste in
your mouth ?
Then you have a poor
appetite and a weak diges-tion.
You are frequently
dizzy, always feel dull and
drowsy. You have cold
hands and feet. You get
but little benefit from your
food. You have- no ambition
to work and the sharp pains
of neuralgia dart through
your body.
What is the cause of all
this trouble?
Constipated bowels.
