THE JUNGLE.
MIR. SineIair's Story Of the Awful
Methods Of the Beef Packers.

No more powerful or terrible book
has been written In recent years than
The Jungle" by Upton Sinclair. II
seems incredible that such depth of
human misery as the author relates
could be permitted even by the most
callous money maker or the most
soulless corporation: or. on the other
hand, that such vileness and filth in
the preparation of human food could

clair's statements are from personal
knowledge and observation, visiting
the great packing plants. as he did
mostly In disguise. Moreover, his
statements have been abundantly cor
roborated by President Roosevelt's
special commission, whose confidential
report. containing descriptions of deg
radiation. filth and food pollution. is
too vile to print in a newspaper
The hero of THE JUNGLE is Jurgis, a
great. broad-shouldered Lithuanian
who gloried In work. for the mere sake
OF IL. even II he had had no incentive.
In the far forests of Lithuania, where
he and his father had lived all their
lives. children OF nature. Jurgis had
heard OF free America, and that as
much as $40. a week was to be earned
by a willing laboring man, in the great
city Of Chicago. And after many argu.
ments and much discussion, he had
prevailed upon his father, and Ona the
sweet blithsome lass TO whom he was
betrothed, and her mother and several
children and relatives, to emigrate to
splendid America. where a man may
not always remain a peasant. but
where he has chance to improve him
self and rise in the world. Ten dollars
n week was an unheard OF fortune
The peasants OF Europe make a few
cents a day.
So they all went to Packingtown, and
the first day that Jurgis stood in line,
being altogether the finest specimen
of man in the yards, he was beckon-
ed to by the boss and given Job. He
went home jubilant Two other mem
bers OF the family. one a great strap
ping woman, also got jobs at once.

They were all cheated shamelessly
by the sharks which infest the great

English and they we're at the mercy of

doesn't know. If you buy such clothes
you are at least entitled to know
what they are.
AS to Correctness.
Some men don't know how to dress
correctly; some men don't care.
It's just as easy to put on a white
tie as a black one, and often one is
correct and the other is wrong. The
proper thing is usually the easy
thing; all you need is to know just
what is the proper thing.
Every man who wants to dress alb
solutelv correctly, as many Richmond
gentlemen do must have suits of
three kinds he cant do it with less
than that.
These are: The sack suit; the dou-
BILE breasted black frock coat with
light trousers, sometimes called the
Prince Albert suit; and the full dress.
You can live and be respectable with
only the first of these to wear; but
you can't dress correctly.
For Business Wear.
The sack suit is the usual thing for
business wear; but what is known
as the English Walking Frock is now
worn for business by many men WSo
like the greater dressinesS of the coat.
In either case-sack or business
frock-the full suit is of the same
fabric throughout; coat, waistcoat,
trousers; but it is quite proper with
business clothes to substitute fancy
or washable waistcoats. Fancy or
plain shirts are worn for business, and
neckwear in a variety of styles. The
correct thing in hats, shoes, etc, for
business wear is frequently matter
of individual taste. In summer es-
peciall much liberty in these matters
is permitted. There are also a variety
of correct styles in overcoats; for
business and everyday use any OF
them is the proper thing.
So much for business wear; you
can dress pretty much as you please
for business of your clothes are styl
ishly made, of good materials, and II
honest, he may tell you just how much

they fit you.
But when you get away from bus
mess clothes this freedom of choice
is lost; for social affairs you must
dress by rule, and there is no choice
about it.
For Daytime Functions.
For instance: For any sort of a
daytime function-day wedding, after
noon calls; for church on Sunday, any
thing before six o'clock p. N. for
which you "dress-up", you may be
very welcome in whatever clothes you
wear, but you won't be properly dress
ed except in a double breasted black
frock coat. You may say you will not
submit to these requirements; that
you have so little use for frock coat
that YOU will not invest in one But
that doesn't change the facts; You We

rules for day dress. so-caDled, are.
these:
The double breasted black frock
coat; waistcoat like the coat. or of
white duck pique, or other fancy IA
brics; trousers, light fancy stripe;
shoes. patent leather, high button,
patent feathers are now permitted;
shirt, plain white perferred, though
light colored fancy patterns are now
worn by very particular dressers; the
high standing or wing collar; Ascot or
four-in-hand tie; high silk hat.
For affairs little less than sternly
formal, like church, friendly calls, etc.
you may substitute the cutaway for
the dol Die breasted frock; the rest OF
it will be the same. That's all there
is to it; if you dress for these occas-
ions any other way than this you may
look beautiful, but you're not proper

Correct Evening Dress.
For evening functions the rules are
simpler, and equally rigid.
For formal affairs, with ladies': The
full-dress or "swallow-tail' coat; waist
coat. single breasted like the coat,
or single or double breasted of white
silk or pique; trousers like the coat;
shirt, plain white, full-dress, with

show YOU clothes that are right in
that resDect, as well as in correct
STYLE. Fit means that the garment
Grapes" right; that it hangs properly,
and looks as if it were made for the
wearer.
But. there is one other thing that
is essential-Quality. Important as
correct style and fit are, quality is
more important For this reason:
No matter how stylish and perfect
fitting a garment may be when 1t is
new, if it is made of inferior mater
ials. il will soon lose all its style and
fit. If a man cares about style at all
he cares just as much about it dur
ing the second or third month of
wearing Of a suit, as during the first
few days.
In this respect the situation in the
clothing business is peculiar. All
wool fabrics have been known, from
the earliest times, to be best for use
in clothing No fact about clothes is
more positively fixed nor more gener-
ally agreed to than the fact that II
you want really good fabrics they
must be Atwood. Every clothing
manufacturer, every dealer in cloth,
ing, and pretty nearly every Wearer OIL
clothing, knows that to be so.
But now that wool is high-prlced
and the cost of atwood fabrics has
increased considerably, nearly all the
makers of clothing are using fabrics
which are part cotton. 1t began with
the use of a small quantity OF mercer
lied cotton, which looks little like
silk, to mark a pattern in weaving
The substitution of 'mercerized cot
ton" for silk not only cheapened the
cost of the materials used, but 1t
cheapened the dyeing and some of the
other processes. But it did more than
that: it showed that the trade was
willing to accept little less than the
highest quality standard, and that the
public. through believing thoroughly
i'm Atwood. could be fooled into TAX
ing adulterated goods. Then per
feet flood of cotton mixtures filled the
market: some have as little as TWO
per cent of cotton; others have as
much as eighty per cent. The WeaV
er's and dyers skill makes them loof
well at first; but such fabrics are
fraud and a cheat
You'll find plenty of such clothes
wherever you go. The dealer may
tell YOU honestly just what they are
COTTON mixtures If he is still further
cotton it contains; but he proDapl!
