For a Man’s Christmas

NYBODY who has to buy Christmas presents for a man—young man or old—knows how hard it is to find out what he really wants. Often it’s hard for him to say what he really wants; “just get me some little

“thing, anything will -do;” that’s the way he’s apt to talk.

Now there are two things you want to bear mind in planning a man’s Christmas, if you’re uncertain what he wants. The first is, you'd buy it in a man’s store, where he’d buy his other things. The second is, he always wants new, handsome things to wear. If you start out with tnose things in mind you’ll end by comng here; for this is headquarters for men’s things. You might think well of giving as a present a fine suit or overcoat; that may sound a little prosaic for a Christmas gift; but any man who gets one of our Hart Schaffncr & Marx Fine Suits or Overcoats will have something to remember his friends by for a long time. Any of these stylish new models in overcoats are the kind to satisfy careful wearers; our suits are smart in fabric and cut. If you’ll spend $18.00 to

$50.00 on “him.” that’s the way to spend it.

You’ll find, however, many lesser things here suitable for gifts to men. We'll show you some neckwear that will please the taste of any man; rich silks in hundreds of shades and patterns. You’ll be) surprised to find how much quality 50 cents will buy; you may go higher if you please up to $1.50. New neckties are always acceptable. No man ever has more handkerchiefs than he wants; nor more fine hosiery, suspenders, gloves, shirts, underwear, hats, fancy waistcoats—we can think of a lot of good things for men, that will make

good Christmas presents.

You can spend any sum here and get full value or every cent of it; and “men’s things” at that. Anything bought here may be exchanged by you, or the man, if it doesn’t prove just what he wants. This store is the home oi Hart Schaffner & Marx clothes.

The Monthly Bulletin of the State Board of Health for November, just published, says there were fewer deaths In the month than In November, 1907; the figures being 2668 for November 1908, and 2701 for ^he preceding November. The respective death rates were 11.9 and 12. Consumption leads with 278 deaths, then comes •pneumonia with 219. Adding to this the 21 deaths from influen/.a, we have a total of SIS or 51 per cent, of the total. This leans that over one-halt the deaths f the month of November were due o diseases of the respiratory pnssges. This class of diseases is Inducd almost always by the excessive ireathing of foul air and over eatng. If people would ventilate bed •ooms, sitting rooms, churches, schools, offices, and all places thoroughly, would exercise dally In the open air, and would eat temperately, the deaths from respiratory diseases would fall enormously. The typhoid fever deaths number'd 113; in the corresponding month last year, 140. Diphtheria deaths numbered 48; and in the corresponding month last year, 34. Diphtheria was epidemic In several places in No-

vember.

In suppressing epidemics of diphtheria, the health department found it very difficult indeed to secure the co-operation of all the people. Of course, the intelligent and educated, with rare exception, gave their hearty co-operation. At Earl Park opposition to fighting the disease appeared in the council, among business men, and others. It is hard to make the people understand that diphtheria can exist in mild form and that frequently a slight illness supposed to be a cold is really diphtheria. These mild, and so called “blind cases’’ of diphtheria are the means of widely distributing the infection and causing epidemics. Epidemics are rarely caused by the spread of infection from severe cases of diphtheria because those cases generally quarantine themselves, and precautions are taken against them. People do not like to have their children quarantined, even if they carry the infection of diphtheria, provided they are not sick. Even when the sickness is moderately severe, there is opposition to quarantine because of the inconvenience it causes, { Scarlet fever caused 5 deaths; whooping coiigh, 20; diarrhoeal diseases, 77; cerebro-spinal meningitis, S; puerperal fever, 8; cancer, 136; and violence, 176. There were two deaths from hydrophobia. The decedents’ names were Laura VV. Green, who died in Knox County, November 10: and Peter C. Grosso, who died in Vigo County, November C. Tonsilitis was reported as the most prevalent disease; typhoid fever lead in October. This month typhoid fever stands third in a tea of prevalence. The order of disease prevalence was as follows: tonsilitis, bronchitis, typhoid fever (enterio), rheumatism, diphtheria and membranous croup, influenza, pneumonia, scarlet fever, pleuritis, intermittent and remittent fever, diarrhoea, typho-malaria fever, chickenpox, erysipelas, inflammation of the bowels, whooping cough, dysentery, cholera infantum, cholera morbus, smallpox, puerperal fever, cerobro-spiual meningitis, and

measles.
