scores of people viewed his body. The only clue the police have is a state-' mcnt of Porter's that Rodgers toldj him his name was Beale.

The Glorious and Universal Thought

CHRI

STMAS

Giving and securing gifts interests everybody at Christmas time. The days are now at hand for comfortable, clearminded purchasing, when best thoughts may find highest expression in appropriate Christmas selections. Every merchant is trying his very best to express in some way the superiority of his merchandise, but with all the vigorous much-a-does, discerning people will use their own good judgment and patronize the store whose merit is based on past achievements. Think this over

You want the best your money can buy at Christmas time and all the time and you, too, deserve the highest service that can be rendered and this can be had if you will shop in the morning between the hours of nine and eleven. You will find that you can make your selections more leisurely, see the gift displays when they are at their best and have the comforts not enjoyed later in the day. Between two and five o'clock in the afternoon we seldom have less than 200 joyful, light-hearted and happy Christmas shoppers in our aisles. If you enjoy lots of company come in the afternoon.
