We are in receipt of a letter from
Mr. Major, the famous cement man, OF
New York. in which he sets forth some
yery interesting facts about Major
Cement.
The multimdes who use this stand
lrd article know that IL Is many hun
lred per cent better than other ce-
nents. for which similar claims are
made, but a great many do not know
why. The simple reason Is that Mr.
Major uses the best materials ever dis
covered and other manufacturers do
lot use them, because they are too OK
lensive and do not allow large profits.
Mr. Major tells MS that one OF the ele-
ments OF his cement costs S3.l5 a
pound. and another costs $2.65 a gal
ION, while large share Of the so-called
oements and liquid glue upon the mar
ket are nothing more than sixteen-cent
glue, dissolved in water or citric acid,
and, in some cases, altered slightly in
color and odor by the addition Of cheap
and useless materials.
Majors cement retails at 10 cents and
% cents a bottle, and when a dealer
tries to sell a substitute you can de-
pend upon it that his only object Is to
make a larger profit.
The profit on Majors cement Is as
much as any dealer ought to make on
any cement. And this is doubly true
IN view Of the fact that each dealer
gets his share OF the benefits OF Mr..
Majors advertising, which now
amounts to over $4,000 a month
throughout the country.
Insist ON having Majors. Don't ac-
cept any off-hand advice from a drug
gist
Always have a supply Of Majors ce-
ment on hand.
II you are at all handy land you viii
be likely to find that you are a good
deal more so than you imagine)
you can repair your rubber boots and
family shoes, and any other rubber and
leather articles with Majors Rubber
Cement and Majors Leather Cement.
And you will be surprised at how
many dollars a year you will thus save

WHITE WAS FALSE.
So Says Susan Swartz Who Sues For
Breach of Promise.

Lewis White, a well-to-do farmer.
who lives near Concordia. in Cloud
county. is the defendant in a breach
of promise suit for $4,000 damages,
which was filed today in the United
States circuit court. The plaintiff in
the case is Miss Susan Swartz, who
now lives in Kansas City, but who lived
at Concordia until a year or two ago.
Several years ago Miss Swartz lived
in the family of Whites father at Con-
cordia- She claims that during that
time an attachment sprang up between
her and young White, and on May 30
1890, he proposed marriage to her, and
she accepted. For some reason White
was in no haste to consummate the
marriage, and it was postponed from
time to time
For seven years the course of true
love fiuctuated, and at the end of that
time the plaintiff claims that White ac-
complished her ruin. White refused
to marry her. and she was compelled
to leave Concordia, and went to Kan
sas City. Since then White has mar
ried another girl and this has aroused
Miss Swartz to bring suit against him
for breach of promise. She is poor, and
files a poverty affidavit in order to
bring the suit.
White is said to be wealthy, and
comes of a good family.
