It covers several lines bat possibly will appeal more strongly to the shoe departments, as it ' is a great space saver. . In fact it permits a merchant to harry twice his present stock' in one half the space now. commonly requiied. Again it reverses the present system.

Committee Self Denial Week The Salvation Army announces its annual Week of Prayer and Belt Denial to take place March 27 'o April 3, and though daily practicing self denial, these members agree during this special week, to do without all luxuries, and even some of the necessaries of life, in or lor to help swell the fund in aid of the home and foreign missionary work of the organization. Our roaders will be urgently appealed to by the Olilc.re and Soldiers of the Army loujlly to as ist in this effort, and again we advise those who are not In the habit of denying the mselves to do so at this time and prove with the Salvationists that "It is more uleBfttd to give than to receive."
