CHARLES H. GARDNER. WISE TALKS BY U. S. LOUdHARY'S OFFICE BOY. You've often heard folks make this remark : "If it wasn't for eating we'd soon be rich 1" I guess eating is the first law of- Nature. What would merchants and manufacturers and the millions of working men and women do for a living If everybody quit eat ing? Besides half the pleasure in life is in sitting up to the tempting viands with which we satisfy our appetites. The people that don't eat well, don't half live. Pa says he didn't know what good living was till he came to Dallas, and I got my job with U. "8. Lougbary. We surely have the dandi est assortment of good things to eat of any store around. Have you thought particularly about your Sunday din ner this week? The walk down to the store and satisfy yourself that we al ways have the latest and best things In the market to tempt the man of the house. We don't let anyone beat us on prices.
