Notwithstanding the advance cost of cotton and all cot
ton goods we aim to make this the greatest sale of depend
able daintily trimmed undermuslins that have ever been
placed orutlie counters of any Corvallis store. How can we
give you such values you ask. Because we sell such im
mense quantities that we buy our garments at a much lower
price than smaller dealers who cannot use such large lots.
These garments bear the label of the National Consumers
League which is a guarantee that they are made in light,
clean, airy, 'wholesome factories, etc.

Honey and Tar in three very severe
cases of pneumonia with good results in
every case." Sold by 3raham & Worth

BELLFOUNTAIN.
An old lady looked a trifle dis
satisfied as she went out from the
auditorium at the Sydney, la. ,
Chautauqua, where she had just
heard Mr. and Mrs. Elias Day
give their entertainment. Every
other member of the laughing,
pushing crowd was telling some
one else what feature of the enter
tainment had been most to his
taste. But she wasn't; she looked
almost glum. -
A member of the committee
caught sight of her. A face like
that after seeing: the Days! That
would never do.
"What is the matter? Didn't
you enjoy the entertainment?"
he asked.
"Oliyes, I liked "it some of
it. I was just a little bit dis
appointed, though. You see, I
heard of Mr. Day, when he was
here five
and P ve
years ago,
wanted to see him ever since
And he was good when he just
came out and talked ; he was real
natural then. But when he
painted himself up and put on
those wigs and things why,
couldn't even recognize him: he
didn't look a bit like himself."
These people are to appear in
Corvallis, Jan. 12.
