THE E DAILY BRITISH WHIG, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 6, 1918. Tailoring When a man desires to have his clothes made to order we take it for granted he wants nothing shott of the best, finest and + most fashionable garments. We've" made provision for doing fine tailoring and we em- ploy a tailoring staff that is second to none anywhere, Tis a matter of pride with us that since 1847 we've made clothes for a class of good dressers that wouldn't think of going else- where to be tailored. : Owing to existing market conditions, advancing prices of woollens and linings, and a great scarcity of fine woollens, it will be considerable money in your pocket if you supply your future wants in custom clothing from our present stock.

To-night will be your last oppor- tunity to set the show at whieh 'they're screaming their heads off all along the route of the latest George McManus' cartoon musical comedy, "Bringing Up Father Abroad," ac- cording to the newspaper and other reports. "Bringing 'p Fatner Abroad" is a laugh from curtain to curtain, save when the comeliest of | all comely chorus girls are singin or dancing or the other specialists of the organization are entertaining with their individual and combined genius. Everybody in the world has laughed at some time at the gro- tesque cartoons of the Father series of McManus, but none of the series in newspaper or stage manifests is | said to 'have even remotely ap proached the roaring possibilities of the latest fun exposition At Griffin's, Again last evening the inimitable Douglas Fairbanks delighted his m¥hy admirers by his humorous ren- dition of his latest and best success, "Reaching for the Moon," abounds in clever comedy, and real Fairbanks "stunts." This is one of the most exciting as well as most in- teresting pictures in which "Doug" has ®ppeared, and should not be overlooked by anyone desiring to see the popular favorite at his best. Wallace Reid was also exceedingly popular last evening anad appeared | to splendid advantage in a sweet! story of love and romance, "The| { Hostage." This is the kind of a role in which "Wally" excels, and in which he is best liked by his numer- ous admirers, Fo-night will be the | last opportunity to see these two popular favorites in these superb | productions, A special treat is in patrons who visit Griflin's Friday or Saturday of} this week, when Marguerite Clark, | { the screen's most clever commedi- | { enne, will be seen in the last of the | | famous sub-dep stories, '"'Bab's Ma- tine¢ Idol."

The mayor said that he had been in con- ferénce with Lieut.-Col. W. T. Con- nell on the fuel situation and the colonel said that he would do every- thing in his power to ease up on the umption of coal in military in- tit tions under his command. The military hospitals, 'ete. must be kept warm, even if other places suf- fer, but there is some prospect of a little conservation being practised in the amount of coal consumed. One of the places where a saving might be effected is the Elmhurst Con- valescent home on Centre street, which was rented to the Militia De-| partment by Hugh Macpherson. It | has been an ideal place, but the mill- tary authorities believe that in this| emergency it might be closed and much fuel saved.
