sheep has brought a pair of twin lambs

The Problem Solved for Men by
Browning, King Il Co., Ph18a.

Browning, King d Co., Ph1Aa.
Good clothing is a matter of money
to what extent depends upon the wea:er.
One man will pay $50 at a merchant
tailor's for q business suit, while another
man buys his suit at Browning, King &
Co.'s for $18 OIL $50; both Will appear
equally we'll dressed. 1t is doubtful if a
bystsnder could pick out the higher
priced suit. The reasons for the differ.
enoe in prices are very simple. The mer-
chant tailor has a small store and a very
limited number of customers. He must
make a large profit on every suit turned
out in order to do a profitable business.
On the other hand Browning, King & Co.
are the largest dealers 10 ready to veal
clothing in the world. They use none
but the best cloths and Innings and I'm
ploy only the most skilled tailors
They make a tbousapd sui s to every one
produced by the merchant tailor. Elk
ceptional and unlimited facilities make
possible the production of the very best
clothing at the very lowest cost. For
instance, 81 SO is the price of a top-c coat
taken from the wonderful stock OF
Browning, King & Co.'s fall clothing,
now displayed at 910-12 CHESTNUT street,
Philadelphia. Other prices for overcoats
are $40. $12 SIS Sack suits are priced
at 81 go. So so, $40, $12, Suits with cut
away coats for dress purposes, at $40.
$12. SIS. The double. breasted frock
suits are as low as $15, and up to $25 FOX
coats and vests. Suits for boys begin at
SO. so; some for very little fellows are
marked So In connection with the
clothing there are furnishing and hal
departments.
In a word, no ono can do better for you
in the matter of clothes, furnishings and
hats than Browning, King & Co., 910-1s
Chestnut street, Philadelphia.

When l see a neat and careful lady
brushing, folding and smoothing her
cloak or wrap before laying it aside
after she has worn it, I feel like smil-
ing. l remember the ignoble ways those
very garments are treated while in
course of construction. First, the stuff
is cut into the shape, then it is sewed
or basted and piled up in huge layers,
where the boys and men at work in the
factory brush against it and kick it
with their dusty boots. After this the
lining is basted in and the unfinished
garment is sent to the finishers. These
live, for the most part, in the very
worst and poorest of the tenement dis
tricts, and it would shock and surprise
women to discover that their coats,
wraps and cloaks are laid on beds and
in corners in these places where perhaps
a child lies dying of some contagious
disease. Here the finishing is done-all
the fine handwork and embroidery and
fur trimming-and, work as hard as
they can, these ONE earn barely so
cents a day. 1t is a popular fallacy that
those garments are made in factories.
They are cut there and bundled for the
women and men tailors to finish at
home. The bundles, containing velvet,
fur, cloth or astrakhan garments, are
tossed into big wagons, carried open
through the city and then dumped again
on the sidewalk before the door of the
person, whoever it is, that gives the
work out in lots Of a dozen to the fin
ishers. l have seen sore eyed babies
asleep on a pile Of velvet capes. But it
is not that part that I, as a woman, OBJ
ject to mostly. 1t is the contemptuous
manner that men dare to kick our finest
garments about while they are going
the rounds. Even the rolls of material
are thrown around floors as if they
didn't cost anything and couldn't get
dirty and were not expected to adorn

If clearer vision Thou impart,
Grateful and glad my soul shall be;

The things divine.

And stanch the springs of guilty thought;

Mr.. Justice presented great array OF
statistics to show the increase OF the

too high, and stated that the reduced price
of goods to consumers under the Wilsol
bill was equivalent to the reduction OF
the tsrif on woods.
Judge William Lawrence the presdcn,

represented that body He presented
statement giving an exhaustive view OF
the wool industry under different tarin
rates during the last half century. Speak
