The News and the Truth
 IN THE Springfield Republican

The Springfield Republican, established in 1924 by Samuel Bowles, is universally recog- nized as one of the leading newspapers of America. It publishes the most thorough and comprehensive reports of New England News, and ably represents the best New Eng land ideas.

 It deals with all the vital issues of the day and offers it's readers abundant and interest," ing examples of good literature.
 The Daily Republican is sold for $8 year, $2 @ quarter, 70 cents month, cents copy. F.. eo - so cents quarter, 5 cents copy. o The Weekly Republican is S1 year, 60 cents for six months; 10 cents month for trial subscriptions.

RUBIES AND SABlES.
Why Ladic' Should Not Put All Their
 Money in Diamonds

Money m Diamonus
 A long time ago, that day when the world moved at the nod of Cleo patra., the Egyptian women saved all their gold to buy emeralds for their daughters, because the possession of them not only insured freedom from all physical ills. but made in their hearts an ever-spring well of hope, forcing them to be cheerful, happy women. Sometimes the emerald was engraved with cabalistic characters, oftener its smooth surface was un- touched: what could not be accom- pIished by the precious gem itself certainly could not by the aid of a mysterious symbol. Then the Sicilian women bought coral for their babies, believing that it not only brought to the effect of the evil eye and kept away the wicked spirits.
 l. seemed for awhile as if the same interest was going to be taken in coral now that was then, for beautiful pink coral framed in diamonds was not only Sn0WA III the large JeWelry shops, put was worn by some very smart women. However, the fancy seems to have died out; coral Is no longer displayed in the window or on the woman. Unfortu- nately both of these health-giying orna- ments, the emerald and coral, are easi- lv initiated, which destroys their value h the eyes of the gem-collecting wom- an. The gem-collecting woman, by the by, who always asserted that the money put in diamonds Was like money deposited in a savings bank, is finding out her mistake, for her diamonds by no means bring her the price that she paid for them. She had much better put her money in rubies or sables, for both Of them by their rarity are al- ways ostly.-Pti!a@eipAia Time.
