This represents the size of our Bargain Basement since we have added the new room. It represents something else, too, that may he of more interest to you. The utilizing
of this space at a very slight additional cost enables us to give Bargains that we could not otherwise. We believe we can say without fear of successful contradiction that
practically all the goods in this department are priced at 25 to 50 per cent less than usually ased for the same goods. . ' , ,

"The Chorus Lady" is too well
known to need comment as to its mer
its. It is from the pen of James
Foil'"s author of "The Traveling
Salesman," and "The Commuters"
which rank among the best and most
successful comedies produced In re
centy ears, but "The Chorus Lady" Is
considered even the superior of the
three. ",
A most excellent company and pro
duction have been provided by the
management and owners of "The Cho

the engagement here promises to bo
one of the most pleasing attractions

Plant Nails Among the Roott and a
Vigorous Growth Results.
A dozeti Jurge nails 'planted' among
the roots of a tree ussure the tree of
health, because the. vegetable Raps
cause the oxidation of the Iron and
the sap curries ferruginous salts
through all the living cells and circu
lation vessels. . ' ,
Not ninuy years ago one of tlie sights
of a certain French cemetery was n
tree, half green, half rust colored, lux
uriantly leaved U(ion both sides and
In flourishing condition. When the tree
died and preparations were mmle for
an examination of Its roots It was al
most Impossible to exhume It. When
all the ground around it was loosened
and the . roots' were expo-Red' it was
found that the tree when a suppling
had clasped Its young roots around the
baste of an' Iron balustrade -encircling
a tomb. The roots of the tree hud run
In and out .between the Iron bars of
the fence. Exactly half of the tree
had come In contact with the Iron, and
that half put forth a growth luxuriant
ly leaved In rusty brown. The half
that hud not touched the Iron devel
oped a growth of nonuitl coloring
The tree as a whole was a fine speci
men of healthy vegetnlije growih. but
the side Impregnated tfj-.lron far ex
ceeded the green side In Its output of
vigorous leafage.
Sulphate of Iron Is of little value
when sprinkled on the leaves of a pick
tree, but powdered iron has a marvel
ous effect when introduced Into the
tissues by means of hole hntvd In t':e
trunk. The hole must lie filled with
the powder and then ..corked with
wooden plugs and well puttied over
and around the plugs, so that none of
the ionic "nn escape. To do it work
the Iron, must be carried through the
tree In the circulation of the sap. Hm
