OUR TARIFF is NOT LIKED



OTTAWA, ONT. Free food be.
fore dreadnaughts" was the text OF
speech OF Sir Wilfred Laurier, the
liberal leader before a great meeting
In the conservative city OF Hamilton.
sir Wilfred said: What is OF immedi.
ate interest TO the people OF Canada
Is not the price OF dreadnaughts.
There is one thing which at this
moment engages the minds OF the
common people from the Pacific to
the Atlantic coasts. II is a far more
prosaic and far more vital question.
II is the question OF the high cost OF
living
"And we have not reached the end
OF the high cost OF living. The cost
OF living will be higher In two or
three months than II is today. What
Is the cause The recent reductions
In the American tariff"

Seen in the Shops

~ Took and clearance sales Of
summer dresses have nearly
weeded out all OF the most de
sirable models, and it Is crafty
ing to read the announcement that the
woman's shop in Eleventh street. be
tween F and G. has received a new
midsummer consignment of thin dresses.
They are suitable for either fall or
midsummer wear, a silk slip worn un-
derneath making the costume warm
enough for fall wear. All white wolfe,
crepe, and marqulsette are the ma
terials used, while the trimmings are or
fine lace and hand embroidery. The
prices are from $50 to sl6.
Did your small boy ever keep the
same hat all summer? When you start
TO return home from the summer trip
have YOU not had to search in the high
WAYS and byways for a hat. and finally
be forced to crown the head of your
small son with a ridiculous creation
such as the little natives wear? You
provide two or three pairs of shoes and
innumerable suits. Why not two or
three hats? They may be had for 80
a
partment store which is at the corner
of Eleventh and C streets. Many OF
them were originally as high as s.. and
all of them are made of good, durable
straw.
If YOU are thinking of purchasing a
trunk, before you make a definite de-
cison look at the Offering OF the depart
ment store at the corner OF Eighth
street and Market space. In many in
stances. it is best to buy trunks and
all leather goods from a leather store.
but IL one is q good judge of fiber and
leather. not to mention straps. buckles,
and the million and one brass tacks, II
is safe to take a chance on department
store goods. At the shop mentioned, 81
steamer trunks are to be had for s.. 10.
and sl5 and Sl7 riveted trunks are 50. 10.
Trunk straps are l9c. Hat trunks which
originally sold for 81 are A75. Ward
robe trunks may be had at $3.50, and
bureau trunks with every conceivable
convenience are $4.75.
