K. "PLUS" FITTINGS.
COMFORT PLUS STYLE.
It is a very simple idea-and it is a very practical success. Every K. "Plus" Fitting Shoe has the forepart one fitting wider than the heelpart. That means that the toes move in perfect comfort while the heel is clasped firmly-no gaping, no slip. Ask us to prove this to you. You can walk out of the shop in a pair of smart new K Shoes feeling as if you had worn them for weeks.

Why Encashed? ? -
EDINBURGH, Jan. 11.
A Scottish banker friend, in Lon- don for the New Year, sands me a oritical word about a notice he finds! on the windows of some of the Lon- don banks, "Letters of credit on- caabad."
He aska whether "cashed" is not simpler, clearer, and more correct than "encached," and, therefore, why should it be used? "Cashed," he adds, is modern, while "encash ed," even if it has dictionary sup- port, is antiquated and pedantic.
A pretty kettle of literary fish for our banker pundits to settle with their customers; and I leave it to both sides of the counter.
