Anyone can satisfy them, they only
want clothes.
The particular man demands some
thing more than clothes to cover his
nakedness, he asks that his clothes fits
him, that they tie of good appearance,
that they cost but little and wear long—
for his benefit we direct his attention to
the novelties included in our enormous
fall showing.
Suits, that fit and wear,
from 10.OO to £5.<JO
Overcoats, that fit and wear,
from 10.00 to '*5. OO
Cravenettes, that fit and wear,
from 12.OO to 25.OO
We will also make them to your order
if you only say so.

It s a Personal Advantage
/f
To be certain that there is no cavity in your teeth.
The deceiving· appearance of decay, often gives people a misleading
opinion about their teetli. The little unseen decay growing undisturbed,
causes a sensational surprise when it is discovered. The hindrance of
just such a decay, saves teetli as well as dentists bills.
You will have an assurance of good teeth for a small cost and an
absence of nain, if von will have me do this work at once.

FORT INVADbS
SUSSEXCOUNTY
NKWTON, Oct. II!5:—Sussex county.!
tht* democratic stronghold of the state,
was invaded yesterday by John
Franklin Fort, the republican candi
date for governor, who swept through
the outlying districts in a whirlwind
automobile tour, winding up a day of
unexpectedly cordial greetings with an
address to the largest political meet
ing which has ever been held in this
town.
Judge Fort entered the county by a
Lehigh and Hudson River Railroad
train from Phillipsburg. At Mulford he
was met by a party of local politicians
who accompanied him on his tour. In ,
the campaigning party were Henry j
Huston, chairman of the republican
county committee; Andrew J. Van Bar
corn. a member of the county tax board:
J. B. Smith, assistant secretary of j
state, and Lewis Van Barcom, the re-j
publican candidat»· for the assembly. !
Watson Littell. the proprietor of the
Franklin House, acted as chauffeur in
the candidates' car, which was ax White
steamer, the biggest machine in the
county.
Leaving Mulford soon after the ar
rival of the candidate, the party made·
its first stop at Sparta. At this place
and at Ogdensburg brief halts were
made for handshaking and personal
discussion of state and local issues, but
no set speeches were given. At Frank
lin the tourists stopped for luncheon
at the Franklin House and then con
tinued the trip through Hamburg, Mc
Afee, Sussex and Brbadville to Newton.
At each of these places crowds had
gathered to meet the candidates and
much more enthusiasm was shown than
! any of the politicians had expected.
County Chairman Huston presided at
a mass meeting held in the public
school hall here, at which more than
1.000 people were in attendance. Be
sides Judge Fort and Lewis Van Bar
com. Senator Everett Colby addressed
the crowd. He said, in reference to his
appearance with the republican regu
lars. that he was "going to be good"
for this campaign, but that he would
not promise that there wouldn't be any
trouble after election. Judge Fort's
speech was chiefly about the excise law.
He remained here through the night.

AMERICAN BALLOONS
PLAN FOR NEXT YEAR
I
ST. LOUIS, Oct. 25:—The decision I
that the German balloon won the groat I
race by traveling just six. miles further
than the French L'isle re France, mak- ι
ing it certain that the next year's race
will be started from Germany, Ameri
can aeronauts already are planning to ,
attempt to recapture the Bennett cup
! in 1908, The rules governing the in
ternational race allow but three en
tries from each country represented in
the aeronautic federation, and the three
American bolloons in this year's race,
the United States, the America and
the St. Louis, may again be chosen to
try for the cup as they represent the
latest ideas of balloon construction. The |
America, which finished fifth, is the
only bag of American construction. Its |
performance was satisfactory in e^very
particular.
Brigadier General .Tames Alien, éhief
I of the army signal corps, who witness
ed ail the ascents this week, declared
before leaving today for Omaha that
he would recommend that several bal
loons of the dirgible type be bought or
constructed for government experimen
tal work.
Balloohing as a sport has received a
great impetus by the races held here,
and it is believed that aero clubs soon
will be organized in all the largef
cities.
