It has saved many lives that otherwise would have yielded to consump tion ... we keep Scott's Emulsion in the house all the time and all the family use it."-MR. C. J. BUD LONG, Box 158, Wash ington, R. I. Scott's Emulsion does all it does by creating flesh and strength so rapidly that the progress of the disease is retarded and often stopped. It is a wonderful flesh builder and so easy to digest that the youngest child and most delicate adult can take it. If you are losing flesh from consumption or any other cause take Scott's Emulsion. It will stop the wasting and strengthen the whole system.

SCOTT BOWNE 408 Petri Street New York Delay in Choosing Gifts Means Disappointment Waiting until the last week before Xmas to select gifts invariably means disappointment for the giver. People who choose early get the cream. Don't be a late one and have to take what is left. A visit to our store now will settle all your gift giving problems. "Holiday money will go further here than ever this year. We have never been able to offer such values as our stock affords this year. We urge you to come, but not to buy, because our goods sell themselves. The Lucky Numbers on Opening Day Following are the numbers drawn: C First Prize, 6269, Second Prize, 6263. Third Prize, 6320. Fourth Prize, 9605. Fifth Prize, 6295 If you have any one of the above numbers on the yellow ticket given you at our "opening" the prize is youra and waiting for you whenever you call for it. Our one regret is that we failed to have enough souvenirs to go around, but we underestimated the way our friends would respond to our efforts. We want to thank, you all for the generous response to our invitation. We assure you we appreci ated the hundreds of visitors who helped to jolly us along. After all what could be a more sensible or use ful gift than an Um brella? And the good thing about this sort of a present is the price. You can get something good and serviceable as low as a dollar and get a swell one anywhere up to ten or fifteen dollars. We buy of the big La:rn manufacturers direct, which insures the best quality at the lowest possible price. Some Delayed Music Rolls " if if 8m Have recently shown up elegant goods that we forgot about buying. We have marked these extremely low in order to close them all out before the Holiday Bcason closes. A present of a Pipe or Cigars never goes amiss with the average man. Ten chances to one he will appreciate this sort of a pres ent more than anything else you can give. Last year our supply of Holiday packages of cigars ran out long before Xmas, but we have doubled our quantity this time and will be prepared for every demand. We have them by the box as low as 50 cents and as high as $11.00. Record Cabinets Haven't your records knocked around long enough? Would a fine oak or walnut cabinet in which to keep your records clean and safe, and on which to keep your machine out of the way, look good to you? We have about 25 to select from at prices from $10 to $30. Easy payments if you wish. Collar and Cuff Boxes and all kinds of Leather Goods. There are so many pretty new things in these lines that it is impossible to describe them, but they are out for your inspec tion, marked in plain figures, so you can look them over for yourself.

Vi ----- Xmas Tree Ornaments Our store has always been headquarters for everything new in these lines and we will not disappoint you this year. Plenty of candles and candle holders. Our Ton of Candy is here. We think every year that Lowney's Xmas Candy boxes are prettier than they were the year before, and we believe they are. Anyhow this year they are beautiful and we bought lots -of the popular priced kind this time to sell for $1.00 to $2.50. Besides Lowney's we have McDonald's and Iluy ler's, so we can suit every taste and every pocket book. , 5 cents to $10.00 Empire Cut Glass r .-39 i Is the equal of any Cut Glass made. The only place where it falls down is in price and that ought not to hurt any of us. Our Cut Glass prices are from 20 to 25 per cent, less than any of the much advertised kind, and if you'll take the trouble to compare them piece for piece, as we have done, you won't hesitate long to decide in favor of Empire Cut Glass. The Home of Perfume Not many places the size of Oregon City can boast of a store where perfume is handled so extensively or so carefully as it is in ours. People often come in and - ask if we have this or that Imported Odor and seem quite surprised to find that we do have it. Of course we have it ! And we have a fine case to keep such deli cate goods in, where it's cool and no ray of sunlight strikes it. If you want the latest odor, kept right, and at the right prices we HAVE IT. A H ISON PHONOGRAPH Here's a gift for the whole fam ily. Nothing you can buy for Xmas will do for every member of the family so much as will the talking machine. It is truly a joy forever.
