About Tlutl Hospital.
"Prior to election 1 received from
lh 1'nrniers union the American
Iwon and numerous other organ-

that it would make It easy for mo
to pledge myself to support various
measures that they would introduce
In the legislature. I still have all
of tho blanks. At that time the
Americans legion wrtntert t 000000
appropriated for a soldiers hospital
but since the honnribla governor has
been made rx-offlcio chairman of
tlit hoard to build the hospltul tho
sum has doubled.
"There's one thing pretty certain
and tint Is this that whatever
money Is appropriated to build that
hospital will bo used to build n hns-
p'tal and a mighty' keen hospital
couU be built for much less than the
sum aiked.

AfVe are still giving the bet values in clothing in this city because instead
of waiting until the end of the season to offer discounts on our clothing we
started in September; consequently on November 15th every clothing
manufacturer placed their clothing on the market at 25 to 40 per cent
off. We were thereto buy; tlat is why we can sell you a suit for $10 to '
$15 less than others paid for theirs. Don't take our word. Compare values

We've done
our part
So thoroughly and so satisfactorily that our volume-
of business this year over last is nearly three times
greater.
' The Curtis Brown Store has so consistently reflected
the lower trend of wholesale prices until now our retail
prices aro in almost every instance one-half or near
one-hal f the former regular price.
This store-began its most strenuous efforts to lower the
high cost of living 'way last spring and it is an outstand-
ing fact that Curtis Brown has always been FIRST to
set lower -price examples even when -certain stores
openly declared THEIR prices would be higher Curtis
Brown lowered his prices another notch.
This store was never TOUCBB to lower its prices. On
the contrary we have of our own accord reduced prices
the minute our eastern buyers wired the new standard
of replacement value.
That is why this is a "live" store you can not regret
buying from a sWe of this character for you are en-
titled to ALL the value and all the quality that your
money will buy and you get it here.
