Cheerful news for folks who n en1Oy new curtains.

Oddly enough this news was caused by makers willingness to lose some money. It is the better news because he took his loss with actual cheeriness: And because it brings the biggest lot of good curtains that ever the store was able to sell at less than regular price, It brings them opportunely, too; at just the very time when they will fit nicely into the plans for refurnishing the home for the Winter season.
 Months ago one of the biggest makers of lace curtains in the country offered the store this chance:-

SUCH was his admiration of his then Sec

was, in every crisis that arose. the most
influential member of Theodore Roose-

Guileless Mr.. Lorimer.

Mr.. Loriner, concerning the more or less

1t is our painful and Notifying inten-

of the guileless Mr. Lorimer. It seems
almost a pity TO do it, but a sense of
profound duty moves us. He IS the VIC

cent ideas about the inevitable sequence

In Defense of Tobacco.

From the Atchison Globe.
You may think every man who smokes
wants 10 quit. and can't The general
opinion seems to be that using tobacco
IS a bad habit; not very bad, but so bad
that men wouldn't learn II II they were
beginning over, and had their present
knowledge Of the week But there is
always opposition, and not all men want
to quit And not wanting to quit. it is
for them to make a defense; there are
always arguments for the defense Here
is one offered by a correspondent TO the
Chicago Tribune: You may say that the
world did without smoke for a mighty
long time, why aot now? But you must
admit that since tobacco was introduced
10 the world Il has witnessed the great
est things done by brain power. Tobacco
did H. Why. every conceivable invention
is either perfected now or so near it that
the inventive field IS nearly used UP and
inventors are leaving the field and re-
firing The brains responsible for our
present civilization are found mostly in
the tobacco era. Even the Ladies' Home
Journal advises girls not TO marry a man
who does not use the weed in a smoky
form. That paper rightly contends that
the nonuser is likely 10 get irritated after
dinner. whereas a smoker would be quiet
and behave himself soothed by the balm
Of a fragrant Havana. To a girl in love

writes a better love letter. which is more

The situation presented to the experts
is one not entirely of efficiency. how

economy In relation TO the expenditures
in behalf Of the maintenance of the
army. The War Department, for IN

amount of material in the way Of blan-

cles of military apparel, not only with
a view to supplying current needs Of the
regular military establishment. but In the
hope that there would be some day a
sufficient reserve stock to meet the de-
mands of a suddenly augmented military
body. Constant changes in uniforms
have been discouraged, a sagacious pol
icy which is JUSTIFIED by prudence. There
may be ample justification for the I'M

been made by the board Of infantry Off

government Ownership In France.

Government Ownership In France.
| From the New YORK World
Ardent advocates of government owner
| ship Of the manufacture and sale OF pub
lie necessities win scarcely rejoice over
the new price list OF tobaccos. cigars. and
cigarettes which the French government
has just issued. The tobacco business is
a government monopoly IN France. The
new prices are from 10 10 . per cent
higher than they ever have been before.
For instance. the "scaferlati superieur,"
in packets containing 30 grammes. or one
and thTee-fifths ounces, which is the or
binary smoking tobacco of the people. is
to be sold in future at ! franc the packet,
instead of 50 centimes. This is exactly s.
a pound. Twenty centime (4-ceht) cigars
are raised to . confines g cents: 90
centime G0-eenD cigars 20 50 eentimes
d2 cents). Russian cigarettes that sold
at 1 franc 80 confines 80 cents) the box
VIII hereafter cost , francs . centimes, or
IS cents. And so on through the line. with
some trihing exceptions.
When these prices are compared with
those which we in the United States
have to pay il makes one glad that the
tobacco business in America is not owned
and operated by the government, even
if It IS owned and operated by a trust.
and this gladness will be most fervent
among those who have smoked the to-
bsceo and cigars which the French gov
eminent makes and sells.
