the day to punish your stomach. So
many people fill themselves with
Turkey and Cranberry Sauce on this
day, then lay around and grunt and
growl because they did it.,
Yet — these same people will wear
shoes 365 days in a year that neither fit
or feel good. They will punish and torture
their feet, and cultivate an animal temper
from what was previously a sweet dispo-
sition. All because they either bought
cheaply constructed shoes with the false
idea of saving, or were sold a pair of shoes
that did not fit, because the shoe man
needed the money.
You get no such shoes or service here.
We will sell you good shoes that fit or
we won't sell you.
Try it and see.

DO E A n ond Ten Cents
tmfcAU— STRAIGHT
Notwithstanding the continually increasing prices of
flour and all other commodities that enter into the manu-
facture of bread, we have for months maintained prices
at the same old figure, viz; Five and ten cents per loaf, or
six and three loaves for 25 cents; and this, too, in the face
of the fact that bakers of neighboring towns hive raised
their prices. We were able to do so because we had a good
supply of flour bought at the lower figures. Now, however,
that supply is exhausted, and for self-preservation we are
COMPELLED to make a slight advance- Therefore,
On an ( After December 1st, 1916,
the smaller loaves of bread will be five (5) cents STRAIGHT
and the larger loaves ten (10) cents STRAIGHT. No change
in weight of the loaves.
Respectfully,
EASTSIDE BAKERY.

The University is having a Thanks-

of the students are leaving this after-
noon for their homes to get next to
that Turkey. School reconvenes on

"THE MOLLYCODDLE."
The annual yellow journal devoted
to the foibles and frailties of the stu-
dents and faculty of the University
of Oklahoma, is out, and is a credit
to its promoters and writers, being
full of cleverly written advertise-
ments and journalistic stunts of
merit. Probably there's not as much
"pep" in this issue as has marked
former editions, but it is all the better
for that.
