PAY THE PRICE, OR GO NAKED.

The hold the wool trust has the clothing trade of this
country revealed by Spokane dealer who has paid for
his knowledge III tribute to the trust every other dealer
in the country has paid it. and every individual
sumner must eventually pay it. presents problem to every
person who clothes Those who do need not be
greatly alarmed The police will take of them.
The wool trust of the United States controls SO per cent
of the wool output of the world This that it
fix the price from day to day. consulting nothing but its
own sweet will in the matter
As result of this control and attending influence the
tariff is to be raised after the that the price
of clothing is raised and the who scarcely afford
suit will have to hustle something like cent
increase the present cost not because there
nomc for it, but because tax necessities is the
surest dividend payer from trust standpoint, policy
recognized and approved by the Cannon and the Arc
crowd in congress.
Here is how the wool trust system works: Annually
buyers from Spokane and all other trading ceners of the
country gather in New York to purchase stocks At the
of the days buying it is pleasant custom of the
wool trust representative to inform the purchasers that
the goods will cost them Is per cent the next
day. Sometimes it is 20 per cent and it was 40 per
cent.
The theory is that the country must have the clothing
the buyers have spent considerable to to New York
and select it, they can't do the business in day. and
the thing to do is to cnch them while the opportunity
awaits
Rebellion among the buyers developed when the 40 per
cent advance announced. They refused to do bust
The trust merely smiled and displayed the strength
of its organization by making it impossible for them to
buy goods at ALL Orders that had been accepted
celed The trust would have its price or the country
could go naked.
The dealers were not long IN discovering tnat tney
wished to stay in business they would have to accede to
the terms the trust laid down. They finally willing
to accept the 40 per cent increase
The trust blandly informed them that the increase
amounted to 90 per cent. They had to pay it, and the
people eventually had to foot the bill
This is the of influence that is having the say in
the tariff revision which the republican party and Mr.
Taft promised was to be in the line of reduction.
We've got to have clothing and we've got to have food
By building the tariff wall higher around these articles all
hope of competition by importation is barred and the
trusts have the United States in their grip.
1t is simply another of riding willing horse to
death The money madness of every has been blind to
all consideration of national welfare, and the present
period in the history of America is no exception:

BARBER ALSO
A HYPNOTZST

Hypnotism is probably the latest
acquisition of the barber business.
A man dropped into a Howard
street shop this morning and be-
came the prey of a ge nevidently
more naturally inclined to the buck
saw than the razor. A cash sub
sequently developed in the vic
TINS neck. 1t felt like the prelim-
mary of surgical operation and
at the close the victim remarked
on 1t, just after the alleged barber
had tried to gouge him out of an
extra nickel by endeavoring to
shave his neck without being or
dered to.
"Whazza matter wild you?" was
the answer as raucously as bar
Der making a bluff can be. Didn't
you tall. Pimple on yer neck. "
The hypnotic feature is the fact
that the customer the shop lost
right there went out and let the
buffer get away with 1t.

The crust was nicely Drowned and
looked crisp and flaky. Just
enough of the Juice had boiled out
on the top in a rich-looking, waxy
red to suggest the luusciousness
Of the contents beneath.
When George took the first bite
he tried to look pleasant and
smile. Instead, he gave a little in

pie had given him that sharp, cut

Was soggy and juice-soaked.

The illness of Mrs. Taft was
more serious than many people
supposed am reliably informed
that what was described as a nerv-
Gus breakdown was something
more nearly approaching par
alytic stroke. 1t was at least six
weeks before Mrs. Taft left her
bedroom, and she is still unable to

Taft has been greatly missed by

USE FOR FIRELEss COOKER
New Idea is Invaluable In the Proper
Preparation Of the
Cereal.


Few people cook their cereals long
enough.
AS served in many families, the
cereal is thick. lumpy. and. If the truth
were known, indigestible.
1t Is made too thick in the begin
ming, because time is not allowed for
1t to cook long enough to become SO.
Oatmeal is most sinned against in
this respect.
1t should be cooked four hours at
least. longer If possible.
1t is really best if cooked over
night. and in many careful families
this is done.
Put 1t on the back of the stove at
night, then the first thing in the morn
ing draw it over the hotter part and
let it finish cooking.
This is difficult to manage where
gas stoves are used.
1t would be impossibly extravagant
to leave a gas jet turned on for the
whole night.
The best solution of the difficulty is
fireless cooker.
These are growing to be more and
more used, and are eminently useful
and practical for such purposes.

the same thing.
Try it! Serve Quaker Scotch Oats
plentifully and frequently for the thirty
