Crawford-Sulzer bill was adopted by
the Senate last spring. but stuck in
the House and stil remains in that
condition.

70 have it pushed through at the pres
ont session. If this is successful it

A Penny Saved

GWhat you save is far more important than what
you earn. Some people do with SIS that
which others can hardly do with twice much.
One is prudent and thrifty buyer the other is
reckless and eXtravagant.
GCarelessnesS in buying while sometimes unn-

1.-THE best way to buy to best advantage is through
reading the advertisements appearing in THE
