An olive drab cotton cloth which has
been adopted for use In making up the
uniforms Of United states soldiers
will undoubtedly result in minimizing
the large number of complaints which
have been made against the present
uniform because of its construction
out Of khaki cloth. This Is the belief
of the officers of the qunrtermastcr's
department here.
Constant complaints have come to
headquarters here from various posts
throughout this country and the inSu-

SAYS UNCLE CAV

One thing that ails this great and
glorious nation of ours is it's habit OF
measuring it's joy by the price list. We
howl about the high cost of living, but
we're not satisfied unless we order the
costliest thing on the bill of fare, buy
the dearest freak in the tailor's window
and live in a house that we have vast
ed a few extra thousands of hard-earn-
ed dollars in making into an eyesore.
Most of us are taking our pleasure by
the measure of the price list, and we
are trying to live at the top of it. And
it's just as bad-perhaps worse-to live
at the top of it as at the bottom. For
at the top abide indigestion, weak
hearts, bad eyes, rebellious hvers and
strange nerve disorders, all of which
can be cured only by old physicians
who get their fees somewhat near the
top and spend them somewhere near
the middle. Also high-priced living 1T
home compels some of US to undergo
more high-priced existence abroad in
places where no self-respecting Hot
tentot would consent to larry over
night.
Get acquainted with your stomach,
my son. Have little regard for the
opinions of your eyes while they are
still unspoiled. Give heed to the pro-
tests of your liver and harken to the.
voice of nerves that have not yet learn
ed to jangle out of tune and like it.
In a word, forget the price list for a
little while and consider the needs of
the man until you have cultivated a bit
of discernment A few of us there be
who know what we want and can't
be fooled by the price that is charged
for it. You hardly notice them, because
they are not of the procession of spend
ers. They think more of preserving
their digestive apparatus than of maxi
ing an impression upon their neighbours
more of their personal appearance than
of the sneer of the tailor more of
solid comfort than the whims of the
builder of monstrous houses.
They are wise in their own genera
ton, which is more than can be said
for you, if you don't watch out They
have learned to know merit, and
knowing merit, they also know that
many a bit of paste sells for a diamond
because a diamond price is asked for it.
Your business man is no fool, whether
he feed you, clothe you or house you.
He knows your ignorance and is fully
aware of the sad fact that you judge
merit by cost. He has learned, too, and
perhaps at great cost. that you are mad
to spend your money in great quanti-
ties. Wherefore he gives you your
pleasure in the only terms in which you
can grasp it-by the price list. If you
will, It is your glorious privilege to pay
great prices for that which is shoddy,
but elaborate; f1imsy, but gaudy He
keeps his less costly, but better, wares
for those who have discernment All
of which contain a very fair expIana-
ton of good many of the crimes of
that latter-day monster which we call
the high cost of 1iving'-(Copyrfgh

ADVER Using TALKS
BIZ WILLIAM c. FREEMAN

An advertisement put out sometime atn
by Carl H. Page * Co, headed ASK
BILL created a tremendous amount u
talk and attention. Yet. it was only a
plain. commonsense presentation OF good
argument.
But it gave a black eye to pretentious
advertising which does not make good
The advertisement ASK Bnr' pointed
to this lesson:
You read advertisements that impress
you. You are on the way to buy tickets
for a show, or to buy watch, or to buy-
a suit of clothes, or what-not- on your
way you meet your friend bill" You
ask him about the show. He SAYS IL is
no good. That settles the show with YOU
You ask him about the watch that YOU
saw advertised. Bill tells you that II is
not nearly as good a watch as IL is
watch there.
You ask him about the suit OF clothes
you saw advertised. Bill tells you that
the claim made about the suit is exag-
gerated. That settles 1t, you don't buy
that suit
Every business that gets along has a
great many Bills and James who are al
ways glad to speak a good word for AZ
because it makes good.
Every business that does not prosper
has a great many Bills and James who
say-"Don't buy there; they do not make
good"
Back of all advertising must be this
confidence of the public. The Bills AMI
James must say you are all right before
you possibly succeed. The human
tongue-which always has and always
will express approval or disapproval-is a
great factor in making advertising pay.
If it wags your way, Mr.. Advertiser.
your advertising is effective. II II docs
not. then you had better repair your
fences as quickly as possible

A SATURDAY SERMON.
do All things without murmurings and
disputings.- II IA


III this excellent advice, given by
Paul to the Romans living in Philippi
were accepted and followed by the
people of today, the endless affairs of
lie would move along more rapidly,
more smoothly and with much better
advantage and satisfaction to all con-
cerned in them. Not only that. but
great strides would be made towards
the realization of true happiness by
everyone
1t Is too often the case these days.
just as it evidently was in the time of
Paul and the Philippians, that men
and women do not go at their allotted
tasks without more or less grumblins.
Inc more they murmur the harder it
IS Tor them to accomplish their Ia
oors. The dissatisfied man is not go
ing to do such good work. so -rnuch
Oh 1t, or gain such large rewards in
the end as is the man who attacks his
JOB willingly and with zest. The
grumbler is always at the bottom of
the heap. And he generally keeps on
with the grumblings until he is down
and out entirely.
AS Paul points out, in the same
class with the grumbler as an unde-
sirable citizen is the disputer. Surely
the world of today is filed with a
large number of this gentry. The
time they waste in disputing about
everything under the sun, and even
beyond it, would be sufficient, if prop
erly utilized, for the solution of the
many simple and complex questions
about which they are continually
wrangling. Attention is attracted for
the time being by the disputers, by
the takers. But they always have to
stand aside eventually for the fndi-
Vlduals who are of a mind to dispute
less and get down to the business of
doing Arguments, discussions on the
pros and cons of all matters of mo-
ment, are valuable and have bene-
HclaI results However, the great
urouDle IS that too many people do
nothlng but argue and dispute. They
never take so much as a day off from
such useless activities and get down
to the task of attempting to work out
the problems at hand. And then,
when some one else actually does the
work and provides the solution, the
disputers have more fault to find than
ever because it was not worked out
according to their ideas, which are
generally no more nor less than i'm
practical theories.
Much more progress would be made
in the direction of bringing about bet
ter conditions in all phases of life If
the professional grumblers and dis
puters could be segregated and allowed
to fight out their differences amongst
themselves. Things are only accom-
plished by getting to work at them as
they are, by tackIing them with an
honest vim. Their Accomplishment
paves the way for their further i'm
provement.
