NO EXCUSE NOW

Fuel Administrator Gives Business
Men Opportunity to Get a Shave
and Haircu1.
This is an advertisement for the
barber shops and an urgent appeal
for all men who have not shaved
since they began saving coal to pat
ronize these shops. There is no long
er any excuse for a man wearing
bristles.
Probably struck by the ghastly
sight of so many of our business
men going about wearing a moppy
mask, Fuel Administrator Huguley
decided yesterday to let the barber
shops open at 9 o’clock in the morn
ing and close at 10 in the evening,
beginning Saturday. These shops
have been running on the same sav
: ing schedule as other concerns, and
a business man was up against it if
he didn’t own a “safety.”
Pool halls will be granted the same
hours as barber shops. The admin
istrator says he opens the pool halls
because persons have no place to go
at night, and if not given a place to
loaf many of them will go home and
burn fires unnecessarily.
Business houses Saturday will be
allowed to remain open from 9 o’clock
in the morning until 8 in the even
ing. Beginning Monday these houses
open at 10 a. m. and close at 4 p. m.
It is believed the order will be
called in and business as usual will
be resumed in a very few days.
TO AVERT “TRENCH FEET.”
With the American Army in France,
Jan. 23.—The elimination of “trench
feet” from the expeditionary forces
is expected to result from a general
order just issued from headquarters.
If a specified occurrence of the dis
ease indicates a lack of good sanitary
discipline, the order makes organi
zation commanders directly respon
sible.
The hygienic causes of “trench
feet,” include insufficient nourish
ment, lack of sleep and comfort and
insufficient changes of footwear.
Additional active causes are interfer
ences with the blood circulation from
the wearing of socks, leggings and
breeches too tight; long continued
standing or sitting without exercises
or prolonged exposure to wet and
cold.
EXTRA SPECIALS: $1.75 ladies'
and children's middies $1.25 and 98c;
Boys’ and girls’ Whit Leather Hose
(guaranteed), 17%c; Ladies' 85c silk
hose only 59c; 25c dress ginghams

Cheap clothes are a mighty poor invest
ment. They look cheap, wear out quickly
and are never well-fitted or satisfactory
in any way. One of our well-made, cor
rect-fitting suits invariably give satisfac
tion as to wear, style, comfort and appear
ance—and the cost is not unreasonable;
in fact, it is quite low, considering the
high price of all materials that go into the
making. We bought advantageously.
