NOT AFFECTED BY DEPRESSION.
One Big Industry That Makes It's Bust
ness Grow and Expand During Year
of Business Denressinn

OF Business Depression.
When manufacturing establishment
reaches out in year of depression and
increases and expands its business, while
others in the same line diminish their
outputs or stand still, it is because there
must be some unusually good reason for
II. In this instance a splendid reputation
and a more-than- ordinary meritorious
product were responsible for the showing
made.
The Mayer Boot & Shoe Company,
Milwaukee, the largest shoe establish
ment in the Northwest, has just closed
It's fiscal year, and reports an increase in
sales over the corresponding period of last
year. This exceptional showing speaks
volumes for the genuine merit of Mayer
shoes, and is directly attributed to their
high standard, and because of the fact
that Mayer shoes have become universal
~ and popularity known as "shoes of
quality"
Most of our readers, no doubt, have
become familiar with the shoe advertise
ments of this enterprising firm, that have
been appearing in the columns of this
publication for number of years past
10 those who have not yet become IA
m1llar with the extraordinary wearing
qualities of Mayer shoes, we would rec
ommend closer acquaintance by pur-
chase of pair at the first occasion.
The leading brands are "Honorbilt"
fine shoes for men. Leading Lady,
fine shoes for women. "Yerma" Cushion
shoes for both men and women (these
are exceptionally fine shoes for people
troubled with tender feet); the popular
Martha Washington" Comfort shoes,
which have the largest sale of any shoes
OF their kind in the world, and the
Especial Merit" School shoes Ia strong
and sturdy line of seamless school sho'
that wear like iron). In addition to
these brands, the Mayer Boot & Shoe
company make a complete line of every
day and Sunday shoes for all purposes
In fact, there is a Mayer shoe for every
purpose and for every member of the
family.

BY Terrible Itching Eczema-Baby's
Suffering Was Terrible-SOOn En-
tirely Cured by Cuticura.
Eczema appeared on my sons face.
We went to doctor, who treated him
for three months. Then he was so bad
that his face and head were nothing
but one sore and his ears looked as il
they were going to fall off, so we tried
another doctor for four months, the
baby never getting any better. His
hand and legs had big sores on them
and the poor little fellow suffered SO
terribly that he could not sleep. After
he had suffered six months we tried
a set of the Cuticura Remedies and
the first treatment let him sleep and
rest well; in one week the sores were
gone and in two months he had clear
face. Now he is two years and has
never had eczema again. Mrs. Louis

CAUSE AND EFFECT.

Good Digestion Follows Right Food.
Indigestion and the attendant dis
comforts Of mind and body are certain
to follow continued use of improper
food.
Those who are still young and robust
are likely to overlook the fact that, as
dropping water will wear stone away
at last, so will the use Of heavy, greasy,
rich food, finally cause loss Of appetite
and indigestion.
Fortunately many are thoughtful
enough to study themselves and note
the principle of Cause and Effect In
their daily food. A N. Y. young woman
writes her experience thus:
'Some time ago l had a lot of trou-
BILE from indigestion, caused by too rich
food. l got so l was unable to digest
scarcely anything, and medicines seem
ed useless.
"a friend advised me to try Grape
Nuts food, praising it highly, and as
last resort, tried it. | am thankful
to say that Grape-Nuts not only reliev-
ed me Of my trouble, but built me up
and strengthened my digestive organs
so that l can now eat anything | de-
sire. But l stick to Grape-Nuts."

Bank of England's Water Supply.

It is not generally known that the
Bank of England in London has its own
water supply. One arteslan well, which
was sunk some years ago to a depth of
400 feet, gives a supply of 1000 gallons
an hour and as a direct consequence Of
the high cost of water in the city the
hank authorities have placed a contract
to sink another well to give such an
additional supply as will render the bank
independent of the public supply of wa
ter-Tit- Bits.

The Awful Cost of War.

The declaration which Lord Roberts
made to the English House of Lords
Monday evening, that Germany's naval
expansion threatens the peace OF Great
Britain, and that Great Britain must put
her home military establishment in po-
sition to repel invasion, may be pooh
poohed at, but Lord Roberts is not the
only one whom Germany's increase OF
armament has set thinking. Not two
months ago a German comic paper rldl-
culed the pretension of the Kaiser that
his enormous navy and army increase
his effectiveness as the Protector of
Peace by representing the gentle goddess
trying to remove his mailed arm from
her waist, and exclaiming, Let me be.
or / shall be crushed to death.'
Every time one European nation in
| creaseS its armament others feel forced
to do the same. The burden of mainte-
nance is becoming heavier year by year,
and the burden falls upon the people.
Yet reflection on the greater cost of war
no doubt exerts some influence in favor
of peace. DR.. Schaffle, formerly Aus
TRAN Hungarian minister of commerce,
believes that if any two European states
should go to war nearly all the others
would be drawn in. He has made the
following computation Of the expendi
lures:
The first two months of the worlds war
would require cash expenditure OF 10000
being required for the cost of mobilization.
transportation and other initial expenses.
All the powers, big and small, would have
to pay their share toward the $4,0O0O00,O0O,
but aside from that they would have to face
the daily expense of keeping up an army
and making actual war, as follows:
German over. 81, 900, 900 per day
France over .............. 1000, 900 per day
Great Britain. ........... 4, 800, 900 per day
Austro- Hungary over...... 100000 per day
| Russia Observation-Disclosures. 4,75O,O0O per day
Italy over. 100000 per day
Spain Observation-Disclosures. 100000 per day
These are the very lowest estimates, and
unless the various governments are, like
Germany in it's war chest. well supplied
with ready 5s casR the cost OF da
per day.
The interests of civilization and of
humanity are opposed to war and OPP
posed to the burdening of the nations
with the maintenance of ornaments
which are looked upon as menace by
other nations and which therefore press
more burdens upon the shoulders of the
people who pay the taxes.
