Individual routes for home.

the exhibitors at the Alaska-Ynkon-
Paciilc fair to move their exhibits
to El Paso for the big fair in Novem-

El Paso of the north-west, hut thinks
that the fair to be appreciated should

Editorial
It is difficult to tell what Is interest-
ing El Paso most at present, is it
Presidents Taft and Diaz sluing at a
itanquet table midway of the' Interna-
tional bridge? Or, perhaps it is
whether the, White Sox will be the
licnnant winners of tho Southwest!
But, there is one subject of vital
interest to each and every oue of us
—at all times—and that is “economy."
No one is so well off that he can af-
ford to be extravagant. Neither does
economy mean stinginess or niggard-
liness. True economy consists of
watching corners and getting the best
possible quality for the least amount
of money. Truly economical people are
practical people, and practical people
are the salt of the earth.
The Popular is a practical store for
practical people. It has become El
l’aso's greatest store through present-
ing the greatest economies to the
greatest number of persons. It has
been Said that "Comparison affords a
test from which there can be no ap-
peal." Thus, the result of comparison
stands as the decision of the highest
court, and your own eyes ami mind
pass down tho judgment.
Test this store in tho crucible of
comparison. It takes Its case to you
—the jury of the buying public. It
rests its case with you. That we
strive early and late in summer's suu
and winter’s icy chill to serve you—
to give you the best that nionoy can
buy and the most for your money,
whether the expenditure lie large or
small—in the fabric of our case. We
are confident of your verdict.

Our Low Priced
Merchandise
FOR THIS WEEK
fn addition to the attractions advertised below,.you’ll find that
every nook and corner of this store is fairly bubbling over
with bargains—little lots everywhere that are not quite big
enough to be mentioned in the newspaper, but the very best
of values.
Incredible Reductions on Summer Wear
The biggest values of the year—the most radical price meas-
ures—have been adopted to close out all remaining lots of
summer dresses, etc. Viewed from any point—style, quality
of material or price—this is the most commanding event in
apparel selling El Paso women have ever known.

Style Talk
Mnyen Age? V\ 1 at is If. you ask?
Why. those words really concern the
women of this land more than any
other two words in the vocabulary
of tho universe! Every woman in
America who cares anything at all
about dress will be vitally Interested
in them in a very short while—if not
already.
"Moyen Age’’ is the keynote of the
fashions for fall and winter. The
sixth century—during the reign of
“Good King Dagobert.” one of the
Frankish kings of the Merovingian
dynasty—was the Mon yen Age. The
new suits, skirts and dresses for fall
are adapted from tho costumes of
that perjod. Tho influence of that age
is expressed hy elongated waists, close
figure lines, hiptess effects, full length
sleeves, hip yoke effects on skirts,
trimmings rather massed than distrib-
uted. We’ll not attempt to go Into
details here, but we’ve planned a spe-
cial showing of Moyen Age Dresses
and Suits for this week and we invite
you to come and look at them—ami buy
it you wish.
And in this same connection, let us
remind you that if you want to see
each style as it is brought out you
must watch our windows carefully. As
fast as our Now York buying organ-
ization shi|>s us advance style gar-
ments we display them in the win
dows. Just watch the Popular's win-
dows. They're better than any fashion
magazine ever published
Wo hope you’ll like the Special
Showing this week. II will be very
extensive for so early in the season.
We have spared no effort or money to
make it so.

Orian Dursee, a brakeman in the
employ of Ihe Southwestern Railroad
company, took several ounces of car-
bolic acid last night while in a fit of
despondency at ills rooming house at
V,07 Mesa avenue. His lih; was saved,
however, by Drs. Anderson, Rogers
and Brown, who worked with him for
an hour to offset the poison. He was
later removed to Hotel Dieu.
Came Here Two Months Ago.
Dursee came to El Paso two months
ago from Cummitt, Ga., and obtained
work here with the railroad. For the
past week he had been drinking hcav--

worried over fhe fact that Bis wife
apd son were not with him He Is
said to have threatened to end his ex
istence, but no one thought anything
of his threats until last night about 7
o’clock, when roomers at the house
'heard him groaning and opened the
Moor and found him writhing on the
bed. They immediately summoned
the physicians and gave him drinks of
strong coffee and alcohol.
