TWEL.VK MISTAKi:S
There arc innumerable mistakes
that peoplo can and do make in life
A writer in a current mai;aine en-
umerates twelve mistakes which he
says aro most common but which
may easily bo avoided. They are:
.1. To attempt to set up our own
standard of right and wrong.
2. To try to masuie the enjoyment
of others by our own.
3. To expect uniformity of opinion
In this world.
4. To fail to make allowance for
Inexporienco.
6. To endeavor to mold all dispo-
sitions alike.
6. Not to yield in unimpoitnnt tri-
fles. 7. To look for perfection in our
own actions.
8. To worry ourselves and others
about what cannot be remedied.
9. To consider a thing impossible
which wo ourselves cannot perform.
10. Falling to help others when-
ever however and wherever wo can.
11. To bolleve only what our
minds can grasp.
12. Not to make allowance tor the
weakness ot others.
There are many other mistakes
that we can make ot course but if
we try to keep from these twelve In
Itparcular wo will be headed In the
right direction. And in striving to
void these twolve we will no doubt
avoid many others.

AS TO BALD HEADS
The statement is going the rounds
of the press that some scientist has
said that baldness is caused by un-
due work but we don't take much
stock in it. If any scientist made
such a Btatemont he probably is not
in good standing with the Scientists'
Union.
Baldness is caused by a disease ot
the scalp or the blood rather than
by fatJguo or strain of tho brain.
Some of our heaviest thlukers have
well thatched heads.
But tho statement suggests this
woNiimirn.? if tiiui:
Novt comes John Adams of Kln-
ston V '' with tho solum state-
ment that a rabbit whipped a hound
lieloni:liiK lo him the other day and
he explains It by saying that the
rabbit had been pasturing around
a mnotish.no still all summer
All of us lememher the story
about the i. it that filled up pretty
liberally with the contents of n spill
ed bottle and then came out to
ask what hail become of that "damn
cat "
Now rabbits have gone to whip-
ping hound 'Iocs not to say kicking
them around
All wti've got to ay is that they
must have fearful and wonderful
hootch at Kinstnn. N. C If fills

Suits and Overcoats
Never has any of our Value-Giving-Offerlngs met with greater re-
sponse than this Fall Showing of high grade $35 Suits and Over-
coats. Its a line of clothes that from the start has met with popular ap-
proval. The price is a price less than most men expected to pay
the quality is far better than they expected to get at the price.
Volume Prices Make it Possible
This is a year we'd all like to play even. On this line we cannot
count our profits on one garment alone but on dozens. A small pro-
fit on ten Suits now is better than a good profit on one. We're ask-
ing volume prices and getting action.
Famous Makes Comprise this Line
Makes like Hart Shaffner and Marx Styleplus Alco and others of
National Reputation. Makes that assure you of the highest grade
tailoring and workmanship.
Fabrics Good Too
Dependable hard wearing all wool worsteds in light and heavy
weights fclain and fancy all-wool Cashmere for men of all ages.
Stouts Slims and Stubs
No matter how tall big or short you may be there is a suit of good
clothes here that will fit your particular build.
