Don't wait until the Devil gets you, before you hollow, or do
notwnit until danger is upon you, before you take precaution to
avoid it, This is good common sense. It applies in a business
way just as well.
We have decided to give the people thd benefit of our close
buying, and also <*ive them a chance to dress up for Easter
Sunday, the day that divides Spring from riu; Winter season.
For that reason, we have named somo very attractive RE-
DUCED PRICES on our Entire Line of Ladies Sport Coats, and
Coat Suits, to be in effect from the first of April until Easter.
We have also decided to include Mens Suits too. 'It is not
right'for the ladies to be all dressed up and the poor down trod-
en men, to be trailing along in their winter clothes, so we will
give them a chance by making a big reduction on All Mens
Suits until Easter.
Now people, if you ihrow awuy this opportunity, to dress up
at very reasonable prices, do not later complain of high cost of
living, for Now is the time to get GOOD Merchandise CHEAP.
NEW ARRIVALS FOR THIS WEEK
We have received this week, several hundred pieces of high
grade Ginghams, made by the Red Seal Co , which is a Very
Nice soft and fine woven goods, in a most beautiful range of
patterns. Many new Voiles and Fancy Silk Dress Goods. Also
some fancy Shirting Cloth.
The main thing under consideration is that Easter Suit.
Come to see us and bring the Whole Family
Yours verv Truly,
J. 1.3RYANT & CO.

CITY'S JjlGH TITLE
Cuban Capital Given Long Name,
by Royal Decree.
Has Been Considerately Shortened to
Habana, but That Was Not Its Ap-
pellation in 163-1—Place Had
Remarkable Growth.
The I'uII mime of the capital of Culm
Is San Cristobal do la linlinna. In KS.'M
u royal decree conferred upon the city
the sounding title, "Have del Nuevo
Mundo y Antemiiral do las 1 ndlaOr-
cfalentales" which sign! lies "Key of the
New World and I'tilwnrU ol" the West
Indies." In emphasis, ihe com of arms
of the municipality hears a symbolic

tresses of .Morro, l'linto and F'uerzn;
Habana is one of the several towns
founded by the governor, Diego Ve-
lasquez. lie placed il upon the south
coast, where the town of r.atnbano
now stands, it was shortly removed
to its present position and rapidly it
grew to be the chief center of the
island and one of the most important,
places in the new world. La Kuerai,
the oldest fortilicalion in the city, was
erected near the close of the sixteenth
century. Shortly afterward, I'hillp
the Second of Spain ordered tho con-
struction of the I'imta and Morro
forts, for the protection of the har-
bor. and at about the. same time the
ofllciat resilience of the governor of
tilt) island was transferred from San-
tiago do t'ulia to I labium.
In 1050, tiie population of ilaiiana
was hardly more than three thousand,
hut in (lie follow!ngvtwo or three dee.

migration of Spaniards from .laimilci).
During this period, the oily rose to lie

Do you feci weak, diz-
zy, worn-out? Is your
lack of good health caused
from any of the com-
plaints so common to
women? Then why not
give Cardui a trial? It
should surely do for you
what it has done for so
many thousands of other
women who suffered—-it
should help you back to
htalth.
Ask. some lady friend
who has taken Cardui.
She will tell you how it
helped her. Try Cardui.

Movement for Preservation of Struc-
ture Identified With Early Daya
of Southern California.
A movement i« uu at Riverside, Oal„
for tho preservation of a number of
tho olil landmarks of the vicinity,
htiftiliUK" ami spots Intimately connect-
ed with tlie early-day period of south-
ern California. The plan Is being fos-
tiTt'd by the local chapter of tho
Daughter* of Hie Revolution and the
l'loneer society.
The lirst project to he undertaken
is the restoration of the eld Kubldoux
home, an adobe structure, which was
built by Indian labor three-quarters of
a century ago. The Unbidoux family
was one of Uie most prominent of the
11 early Spanish residents, and the home
was a social center for the Interior
section. Many of the notable events
of history of the period just previous
to the forty"tjlnerw are more or less
iiviinuiteJ.v connected with this old
tuilldSng which in rc.'euf years has
been abandoned and has begun to
crumble away.
After the work of restoration Is
completed, the bothHu# will serve as
a nucleus for a pioneer museum
the housing of many relies of the eaw,
