ARE DEARER

NEW YORK, Feb. 17.--An advance
III the prices of rubber boots and
overshoes is announced by the rub
Der trust. The advance amounts to
about 6 per cent net over the new
schedule of prices announced on jan
guary 1, which was an advance OF
5 per cent over former prices. The
cause of the advance is stated to be
the rising price OF crude rubber,
coupled with the extraordinary de-
mand caused by the severe winter.
In some sections of the country the
consumption of rubber overshoes has
more than doubled this winter.

Man Leads Japan Women TO Dress Re.


From the Chicago Inter Ocean.
Japanese women have begun the re-
form of their method of dressing. and a.
mere man" is one of the leading char
acters in aiding the reform.
The minister of education, in order to.
improve the costume of school girls,
has asked the president of the Wom-
ems university to prepare designs for
Il suitable costume
Three designs have been sent in. in
Guiding one by Miss Smart. secretary
of the Womens Christian Temperance
union in the semi-foreign style, which
is said to be most highly favored.
For several weeks sewing teachers
have been at work under Miss Smarts
supervision, and many others are wait
ing to learn the details of the new
costume, the popularity of which is
spreading rapidly.
The principal of the women's SEM
mary at IIioto has also requested pat
lerns of the costume.
1t is evident that at least In the cos
TUNES of school girls reform is newt
able. 1t is reported the minister of edu-
cation says long sleeves must go.
The change is regarded as of the
greatest significance in the educational,
social and fashionable worlds.

YOU HAVE NO RIGHT
To Suffer from Constipation, Bowel
and Stomach Trouble.
Q. What il. the beginning of sickness
A. Consultation,

Q. What IL. the beginning Of sickness
A. Constipation.
q. What is CONSTIPATION?
A. Failure Of the bowels to carry OFF the
waste matter which lies in the alimentary
canal where 1t decays and poisons the en-
tire system. Eventually the results are
death under the name of some other dis
ease. Note the deaths from typhoid fever
and appendicitis stomach and bowel trou-
Bile, at the present time.
y. What causes Constipation?
A. Neglect to- respond to the call Of M.
ture promptly. Lack of exercise. Exces.
sive brain work Mental emotion and im-
proper diet.
q. What al. the results Of neglected
Constipation!
A. Constipation causes more suffering
than any other disease. 1t causes rheuma-
tiSn, colds, fevers, stomach, bowel, kidney,
lung and heart sroubles, etc. 1t is the one
disease that starts all others. Indigestion,
dyspepsia. diaprhca. loss Of sleep and
strength are its symptoms-piles, appendi-
citis, and tistula. are caused by Constipa-
ton. Its consequences are known. to all
physicians, but few sufferers realize their
condition until 1T is too late. Women be-
come confirmed inya,ids as result of Con.
stipation.
q. DO physicians recognize this?
| a. Yes. The first question your doctor
asks you is Are you Constipated!" That
u the secret
q. Can 1t be cured?
A. Yes. with proper treatment. The
common error is to resort to physics, such
L
injections, etc, every one OF which is In
| furious. They weaken and increase the
maady. You know this by your own eN-
| perience.
o. What then should be done to cure 1t?
A. Get bottle of Muls Grape Tonic at
once. Mull's Grape Tonic will positively
cure Constipation and stomach trouble in
the shortest space of time. No other rem
| edy has before been known to cure Con
stipation positively and permanently.
| q. What is Mul's Grape Tonic!

u peculiar strengthening, healing influence
