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.
