VIII Not End Trusts.

The constitutional amend ment rec
commended by the republican mem
bers of the house as one that will end
trusts is not approved by the demo-
Gratis, for the very good reason that
the remedy is not calculated to effect
a cure.
The constitutional amendment, as
agreed to, proposes the following as
article XVI. of the constitution:
Sec. L. All powers conferred by
this article shall extend to the several
states, the territories. tie District of
Columbia, and all territories under
the sovereignty and subject to the jur-
isdiction of the United States.
Sec. 2. Congress shall have power
to define. regulate control, prohibit
or dissolve trusts. monopolies or COM
binations, whether existing in the
form of a corporation or otherwise.
The several sDtes may continue to
exercise such power in any manner
not in conflict with the laws of the
United States.
''Sec. 3. Congress shall have power
to enforce the provisions of this arti-
Gle by appropriate legislation"
The remedy is even worse than the
disease, for it leaves the question of
what are trusts, monopolies or COM
bines" still open, and takes away from
the sovereign states the power to in
qNire into them.

HOW OFTEN

We hear ladies say 80! l have no
time to do my own sewing" We
wish to say to these ladies that by the
use of the Diamond Garment Cutter
System, they can cut and haste and
tit dress in the same time it takes to
hunt some one else to do the work,
besides getting a much better and
easier fitting garment than can pos
sibly be made with any of the old
fashioned models or chart systems.
How many advantages to be de-
rived from a knowledge of this sys-
tenn and the satisfaction of knowing
that the dress question is settled for
ever.
By the use of the Diamond Gar
ment Cutter any lady can fit any
kind or style of garment without any
trouble or worry.
No refitting, no rebasting, no trying
on half a dozen times, but ninety
nine times in a hundred perfect
success.
No special talent is required for our
methods more than is required to
learn the multiplication table and
any one who can read and write can
learn the Diamond Garment Cutter.
We employ special instructors out
side of the class rooms, who will call
at y our residence and fully explain to
you this system of garment cutting
and fitting. This is one of our meth
DDS of advertising and it does not
matter whether you wish to take the
class instruction or not the explana-
tion will interest any lady who de-
sires perfect fitting garments.
