O.: did you ever picture to
yourself, Mr.. Rosenwaid, the
plight of a virtuous young girl,
getting the sort of wages you pay,
and having perhaps a widowed
mother or a crippled brother de-
pending on her for support, did
you ever picture such a girl go
ing out on the street, becoming a
prostitute in order to save her
own flesh and blood from starva-
: tion?"
R.: That's a difficult ques-
tion."
O.: 81 am not asking you to
decide it. I am asking if you
ever thought of it?"
R.: 81 still insist that there
is absolutely no connection be-
tween vice and low wages. These
girls use low wages as a mere SUBJ
terfuge to cover up their own bad
natures.

wages has anything to do with

There was a long silence, but at
last Rosenwald answered.

Vice Commission, that low wages
have absolutely no connection
with vice. Every girl will, of
course, blame low wages. 1t is
easier and arouses sympathy"

A Perfume Deluxe
That Anyone Can Make
CFrom the Beauty seekerD

Unless you knew the secret, you'd never
imagine that the formal concentrate which
you can buy at any drug store contained
an odor as fascinatingly fragrant and
mysteriously elusive As any that has yet
been created. The product is aCrid in its
condensed form. but this is only because
OF its strength. When deodoriZed alcohol
is added, in right proportion. il becomes
indescribably sweet and delicate.
To produce this rare bouquet. you need
only put drains of formal concentrate
into ounces OF deodorized alcohol and
bottle or bottles you may have, but first
rinse them thoroughly in hot water, SO no
trace of their former contents remains.
The more fastidious you may be the more
will you realize that you have discovered
a most marvellous odor And its cost will
be a real surprise-not four or five dollars
an ounce, but less than twenty-five cents.
Flornal concentrate is sold and recon-
mended by Afieck's and other reliable
drug stores.

EXCESSIVE PERSPIRATION
NOW QUICKLY BANISHED
New and Harmless Preparation that
Dispels Odors and Excessive Per-
spiration Without Danger.

Profuse perspiration and it's accom-
panying disagreeable odor can be
quickly eliminated by the use of Milo
dox. the new and harmless remedy.
NilodoX is not pore-clogging, insan-
itary. unsatisfactory powder nor a
mussy salve or ointment 1t is an
odorless liquid, scientifically prepared
and intended only for correcting pro-
ant odors.
Women using Nilodox for excessive
perspiration at armpits can discard the
clumsy, unsightly dress shields and on
the hottest days wear dresses of deli
cate coloring without fear of sweating
out at armholes or discoloring. One
application of Nilodox usually is suf-
ficient to entirely. eliminate all odors
excepting in very aggravated cases.
The action of NilodoX is absolutely
correct 1t is a deodorant and anti
septic and stimulates the weakened
fiabby muscles and nerves of the sweat
glands. This causes a natural contrac-
tion of the abnormal openings, and
when they assume their proper size
and retain their normal strength the
flow of perspiration is scarcely per-
ceptible and all trace of odor will then
vanish. 1t is not necessary to use Nil
odox continually. for once the sweat
glands are strong and healthy 1t re-
quires only an occasional application to
insure this healthy condition. Nilodox
is used and recommended by thousands
of people and is for sale by Affleck
Drug Co. ,...

DU POINT COMPANY OBJEC rs.
French Representatives Will No,
Inspect Powder Factories.

The War Department has refused the
request of French military officers now
touring the United States to inspect the
government powder factories because the
Du Pont Powder Company thinks it has
secrets Of manufacture which it does
not care to disclose at the present time,
since II is an open bidder in the markets
OF the world for powder contracts.
The ostensible reason for the refusal
sent to the French government is the
fact that a party Of American military
men were refused a similar courtesy in
France some years ago. Gen. Leonard
Wood yesterday stated. however. that
the attitude of the Du Pont company
had a good deal to do with determining
the attitude of the War Department.

Get OUT"
'Oh, very WELL" said Laurence Brown.
and backed out as though he didn't care
a cent about coming in. But in the cor
ridor he walked with tagging steps to
the row of iron elevator doors. 1t was
a long minute before the car came down.
He had time TO droop under the disap-

Laurence swore at himself. If he hadn't
coaXed her away Stella would now be
living comfortably in her fathers home
in Ohio-in that big farm home where
food Was Plentiful as matter or course;
where folks never thought OF scheming
and worrying every day over the next
days supply. And If he hadn't coaxed
her away there would be no small Lau-
renee whose lace got whittier and more
pinched every month. and who. the doc
tor said, simply must have better food.
Stella said that she had never regretted
and she wouldn't think of going home
until the folks were willing to retract,
and somehow Laurence was coming to
their opinion of his general worthless
ness Else why did bad luck dog him
and Stella SO persis .ently? 1t certainly
couldn't be Stella'S fault. One firm had
failed, another let him go to make room
for a nephew, another had been absorbed
by a bigger firm which had not place
for new employees. He had been glad
to get this chance of soliciting inSur
ance. But after two weeks he had not
been able to sign a single policy.
He essayed chirpy wnist.e as he
stepped into the elevator. The whistle
wavered into sigh that threatened to
grow into a groan. Maxon, the pompous
man, had been given him as a splendid

turned away. 1t was no sight to linSer
by when a chap didn't have even one
lonesome nickel.
At the end of the street Lake Michigan
lay in sluggish green ripples. He walk
ed down to Grant Park and flung him
,seif the ground. Around him were
other men, some DISCOURAGED, and some
merely clerks spending their noon hour in
the fresh air. But his Iassithde was of
short duration. He sprang up, spurred
by thought OF Stella and the boy out in
the room of the dingy house whose land
lady's capacity for pity had long before
been drained away by countless forlorn
roo-nerS. In the one room they slept,
cooked and ate Light Housekeeping.
