HOCTOR GOOSE is a great friend
of the Tailor in good many ways.
IL He is most commonly known as
che Hot Flat.1ron.
Everybody knows how useful he is at
certain times-and for certain purposes.
He has magical way of restoring sickly
looking clothes to temporary health and
comely appearance.
But very few people know that he does
good deal of his work Gin the dark," so to
speak-and remember this If he hadn't
80 much to do with the shaping of clothes
in the Jf,st Mace, there would not be SO
great need for his services later on.
These are the little secrets Of the cloth
inr business-or they have been heretofore
Nobody has ever paid much attention to
them.
They have been taken for granted just
Is matter Of course.
Yet this Aatiron trickery is responsible
for clothes losing their shape and character
30 quickly.
The Hot Flat Iron has been the "cure-
I'll" Of the clothing business; and the result
shows in about 60 per cent of all clothes.

This Flat-Iron work the dope of the
clothing business-is the cheapest and most
common way of Gt,oa0ing style into garment.
But it only removes defects temporarily,
and Flat-Iron-shaped garments are sure to
WiN ear and lose shape and character when
won on damp day, no matter how the
clothes may look when you dsy them.
There IS way to do 1t right the way in
which SINCERITY CLOTHES are made.

posed conferercs. He favored 1t b -

time during the x ten days. My
testimony before the Investigating
committee shows exactly how l stand
and there Ia nothing to add to that"
Senator Tillman expects to call up
the railroad rate bill az soon as a vote
has been taken in the senate on the
statehood bill. This ia ~schedulsd t r
March 96h and it is possible that he
will call up his bill before them, al
though not probable. The railroad
rate bill is now ON the calendar.
THE bill will probably pass" said
the senator, "and the principal fight
will be on the proposed amendment
for court supervision Of rates. This
means that the courts would be given
the power Of II lnotlon to prevent the
enforcement OF rates before revised by
them. The supporters Of the bill, how
ever, do not favor this, but wish tt
give the railroad com nission power to
put rates into efftc ct after 80 days no

without amendments, l think. l OK

support OF all Of the Democrats and q

The senator did not csre to discuss
State Issues on account Of his severe
cold, but he paused long enough in
his remarks on the railroad bill to say
that he was opposed 10 biennial SEES
sions and that he thought the legisla-
ture acted wisely In killing the pro.
posed amendment providing for ses-
sicns once every two years. Such ac-
tion put the people to sleep ard they
are then more easily led into error.

Of the Association subsequently, n
