Flirting With Fashion.

That innate tendency on the part
of the fair consumer to nirt with fash.

ous commodities, is responsible for
the uncertainties that have prevailed
during the month. There was such a
lack of confidence as to the ultimate
acceptance of the various lines pre-
pared by distributors and consumers
that buying was somewhat minimized.

Chicago-The prices of beef and

Within the last week the price of
beef has been reduced between four

The price of pork has declined about
315 cents from the price of Is

expectation of the wholesale meat
dealers that mutton, veal, and other
products of the packing houses will
take a downward turn within the next
few days.
The decrease in prices is not con-
fined to Chicago, although the move
ment started here last week, but now
it is spreading all over the country,

HADLEY RAPS COURTS;
SAYS ROOSEVELT RIGHT
Missouri Governor Attacks judicial
Methods Before Federation of
Labor Convention.

st Louis, Mo. = Governor Hadley
IN a speech before the American
Federation of Labor convention
here advocated fewer judges and
more justice and at the same time
upheld Theodore Roosevelt's denuncia-
ton of the courts.
He said that Roosevelt was right.
lieves," said he, that there should be
just criticism of any public official,
whether judge or any other official.
This sentiment aroused the greatest
enthusiasm in the convention. "Roose-
welt was right when he denounced the
courts, because they are governed by
their environment. The great trouble
with the judges, they live within their
own environment, and their decisions
are made accordingly" said Governor
Hadley. 1T might be a narrow en-
vironment; it might be a large en-
vironment, and us lawyers know why
they make a decision.
Il believe in an employers liability
law that does not take into considera-
ton the fellow servant or the as
sumption of risk. I am prepared to
appoint a commission of labor, law
yers and citizens to draw up COM
pensation act and l will do all l can
to have the legislature pass it. That
will mean not a proposition involving
delay. but something which will
hasten relief for those who suffer in
jury I do not see why the judiciary
should not have the correctness of
this reasoning subjected to criticism.
Legislature and court made law
both are only the expression OF the
people of the time and decision
which may be just at one time may
be quite impossible at a later date.
Governor Hadley then referred to
his fight with the Standard Oil COM
pany when l attacked the Standard
Oil company four years ago it was
protected by rule of law that it
could not be required to produce
books and papers that might result in
the conviction and fining Of the COM
pany and that a corporation had the
same rights as an individual"

worse Then they began to come out
on his arms, then on other parts or
his body, and then one came on his
chest, worse than the others. Then
called another physician. Still he
grew worse. At the end OF about
year and a half of suffering he grew
so bad that l had to tie his hands in
cloths at night to keep him from
scratching the sores and tearing the
flesh He got to be mere skeleton,
and was hardly able to walk.
MY aunt advised me to try Cuti-
cura Soap and Cuticura Ointment
sent to a drug store and got cake Of
Cuticura Soap and a box of the ONT
ment and followed directions. At the
end of two months the sores were all
we'll. He has never had any sores
of any kind since. I can sincerely say
that only for Cuticura my child would
have died. 1 used only one cake of
Cuticura Soap and about three boxes
of Ointment.
