.. ' | April Weather in November—A Contributing Cause to Remarkable Reductions The Annual Clearance of Coats This is the final clearance of the season—the big opportunity to buy anew winter coat at less than wholesale price Every cloth and plush coat in stock must go. The big majority of these coats have been bought in the past two months. Manufacturers, on account of die unusually mild winter, have been caught with overstocks of coats, which they were very anxious to turn into money. They were more than willing to co-operate with us in staging an economy event that would make a deep impression on the women of this city. Therefore this sale is not a disposal of fag ends or remnants, but a clearance of fine, new, desirable coats in the fabrics and fashions that appeal to the woman of discriminating taste. Women can wear any of these coats with comfort in the severest weather, for they are warmly lined and interlined with heavier quality lining than previously used. Even in the inexpensive coats the manufacturers have used the better grade linings they had on hand rather than buy the less desirable at a lower price. The finer coats are of the most expensive fabrics loomed for the winter season. Some of the coats have self collars, but the majority have outsize, convertible shawl collars of fur. Many of the better coats have fur cuffs. We have gone into this much detail to let you know that you can come tomorrow to this clearance and choose a coat that you will be proud to wear—a coat which will give you service and comfort—not only this season, but next season as well.

Tells of Strange ‘Leopard-Men’ Cult LONDON, Jan. 9.—A strange story of men who are leopards and leopards who are men was told at the Royal Anthropological institute recently by J. H. Hutton, I. C. 8., who lectured on “The Leopard Men of the Naga Hills.” "The Naga hills, in a remote corner of Assam,” he said, "contain whole sects or clans of ‘were leopards,’ or men who believe that their souls occasionally desert them to inhabit the bodies of leopards. This belief Is so strong among these tribes that, should the leopard body be destroyed, the man with whom it shares a soul almost invariably dies also. Even wounds. If inflicted on the leopard body, are reproduced on that of the man, though usually In the form of boils. “Occasionally, but more rarely, the form assumed is that of a tiger, or even that of different species of wild cat. These forms in some Instances can be assumed at will.”

Rheumatism A Home Cure Given By One Who Had It In the spring of 1893 I was attacked by Muscular and Inflammatory Rheumatism. I suffered as only those who have it know, for over three years. I tried remedy after remedy, and doctor after doctor, but such relief as I received was only temporary. Finally, I found a remedy that cured me completely, and it has never returned. I have given it to a number who were terribly afflicted and even bedridden with Rheumatism, and It effected a cure In every case. I want every sufferer from any form of rheumatic trouble to try this marvelous healing power. Don't send a cent, simply mail your name and address and I will send it free to try. After you have used It and it has proven Itself to be that long-looked-for means of curing your Rheumatism, you may send the price of It, one dollar, but, understand, I do not want your money unless you are perfectly satisfied to send It. Isn't that fair? Why .4uffer any longer when positive relief Is thus offered you free? Don't delay. .Write today. Mark H. Jackson. No. 539 F. • Gurney Bldg., Syracuse. N. Y.
