ordered to the front,
, "Tag day, Wednesday, September 5,

than in previous years in order that
w may carry on our work, she said,
w "More industrial nurses are needed.
he work of Mrs. Grace Wheeler, the
visiting nurse assigned to the care of
families of smelter works' employes,
has proved so gratifying to the com
pany that a small car has been fur
nished for her use bv the comnanv.
Other: nurses are assigned to certain
districts, but the sniejting company's
employes are scattered aH over the
city. ,The car saves the -nurse much
time in getting from place toeplace."

Ben Gallagher and Miss Daphne
Peters will have their cars out

This is one of the bis events of the year, and everv
mother nowadays tries to send her children to school on the
first day clad in the best bib and tucker that she can con
sistently buy for the money she has to spend.
These days it is just as easy to buy pretty; things as it is
just the ordinary and the ugly wear that masqueraded under
the name of "durable" a decade ago.
It is necessary to put as much style thought into the
planning of clothes for the younger generation as it is for
those of their elders and the. results show in the most attrac
tive clothes ever offered to School Girls and School Boys.'
We have been extremely fortu
nate in being able to make special
purchases at this time and so you
will find in many instances that
new, right up-to-date wearables
are offered for this School Open
ing Day at very much under the
prevailing prices elsewhere.
