Have You Seen It?

The washable cap for babiesp 1t laun-
ders like handkerchief. Costs no
more than the old styles. The great
objection to Baby Caps (that they can
not be laundered) has been overcome
BY the "E LITE" PATENT WASHABLE
CAP. This cap is so simple in con-
struction that by loosening the bows
and shirring strings it can be flattened
out for home washing and ironing. and
as easily put back into the shape Of
perfect, well-fitting cap. 1t is more
economical than the old style, because
it saves the expense and annoyance Of
taking Baby's Cap to the Cleaners.

New York. Aug. William Zeisler,

Gates is Optimistic.

Saratoga. n. V, Aug. 16-Prosperity
such as the world never has seen, and
a prosperity which will include the
worker as Well as the capitalist, is pre-
dicteG by John w. Gates. who left here
last evening on his way TO Colorado.
His proposed school for boys, the
right training for the young man who
would succeed, his views on gambling.
on trusts. on labor on rich men. on golf,
on borrowing, and other varied subjects
We're discussed by Mr.. Gates in an in
terview at his branch Office here in the
afternoon Asked about the financial
outlook. Mr. Gates said:
lit could hardly be better. am
great bull but with certain qualifica-
tions. Good stocks are going higher.
They cam; help going up. but cats and
dogs will go down where they belong.
The American people want the best in
stocks. as we'll as in every thing else,
aud they are going to have it.
The industrial situation is even BET
ter than the financial condition. The
era OF combination will prove the gold
en- era for the United States not only
for capital but for labor: not orly for
the man established in business: but
for the young man about TO start out.
