HOW can the BEST patterns
be sold for 10 cents lohen
IS cents is charged
for all Others!

The price at which pattern can
be pro6tably sold is determined by
the QUANTITY sold. The cost Of
tissue paper, the cost Of cutting and
folding, ETC., is practically the same
in the production of all patterns, from
the poorest to the best. The cost OF
the models from which they are cut
should be about the same.
Now, the pro rata cost OF each
model has to be added to the cost
of the finished pattern; therefore
the larger the number Of patterns
sold the smaller is the tax on each
for the model. Thus, where only
say 10000 Of a pattern are sold,
the pro rata model tax is ten times
greater than where 100000 are sold.
May Manton Patterns sell in sui
hcicnt quantities to render it profitable
to price them all at 10 cents each.
Other pattern manufacturers say they
cannot afford to sell theirs for less
than IS cents. Either they do not
sell a sufficient number or they tax
the public too much.
Be that as it may, the May Man
ton Pattern Co., for the reasons
stated above, can, and docs, and
will continue to sell the BEST pat
tern on the market at the uniform
price-Io cents each.
They believe that it is only Just
and right that the discriminating
public who so literally patronize
them should share all the adVan-
tages accruing from their own gen
erous patronage. That is why those who
use MAY MANTON PATTERNS get
the BEST at one-third less than the
price universally charged for Others.

WHY is the enjoy Manton"
the most popular
: pattern!

Because it is the most reliable, the
most economical, and we think the
public believe it to be at all times
the most thoroughly up-to-date.
Why Is it the most reliable and
the most economicalp
Because it is, in every case, cut
from an accurately graded model.
Because it makes no pretence at a
scam allowance, which is an absurdity.
Because, it does not obliterate the
true basting line. as is always, and
unavoidabfy, the case with a pattern,
cut for the million, on which a pre-
tended seam allowance is made; and
because, therefore, it does not require
the exercise Of expert ingenuity and

be reckoned for a pattern when the
texture of the goods to be cut is not
known. One lady may purchase a
pattern for closc-woven material, re-
ouiring very narrow seam; another
may purchase the same pattern for
goods OF flimsy texture, that needs
very wide seam-allowanoe. 1t is
absurd to suppose that the same
pattern will do for both. 1t Is not
likely to suit either, and the dress
maker must labor to correct the mis-
takes caused by the pattern, and

succeeds.

TOO ELABORATE A SYSTEM
Mr.. epleselhausen's Idea Of Postal
Cards, However, Worked Very
Well for a Time.

MI. Splegelhausen found II hard to
remember at home certain things he
had thought OF in business hours. and
conversely matters hat occurred to
him at night would escape his mind
before he reached the Office next
morning. After trying various un-
successful methods of memory cult
walton, he hit on the plan OF writing
postal cards to himself and address
Ing them TO the other place from
which ever he happened to be In at
the moment. Thus the last mall
would bring to the house n or more
cards with such a memo. scrawled
upon It: Remind Mrs. S. to give
h first mail downtown would re.
mind him: See J.. T. w. In re. thou
sand lot umbrella canes"
Fol- q time this served the purpose,
but presently his precise and farEee-
Ing mind began to anticipate and
work more and more in advance. SO
that on a Monday night he would
mail a card from home saying: BE
sure to send card from office tomor-
row to remind yourself OF dinner en-
gagement Tuesday" Then he got to
jotting down appointments on postal
cards q whole week ahead. sending
other cards to warn himself when to
drop them in the letter box, and final
ly his harassed brain refused to work
any longer on such q strain.
One evening his wife asked him
whether he had thought to attend to
the seaso tickets for the opera, and
he replied with a sheepish attempt at
laughter: II suppose that was on the
pile of cards on M desk this morn

to make up for the loss Of this re.
venue to the government by levy
ing a tax on the incomes of the
wealthy. Strange to say. up to
this moment wealth has not been
taxed to the extent Of a single
penny to defray the expenses of
the national government. This is
almost unbelievable. but it is alb
solutely true, and will not be denied
on this floor or elsewhere.
ut is true that wealth is taxed
for the benefit of cities, counties
and states, but revenue for build
ing battleships, maintaining the
army and navy and running the
national government is obtained
solely by taxing the things eaten
worn and used by the people. Since
the poor cal as much as the rich

tariff tax is higher than on the

ABOUT THE LAUNDRY WAR.

laundry war in Denver, with the
larger steam concerns on one side and
the so-called independents on the other,
is threatened as a result of the advance
in prices put into effect this week by the
former, following the readjustment in
laundry affairs by reason of the new
eight-hour law for women.
Many of the agencies-cigar and other
stores that handle laundry business on
commission basis-are lining up with the
independents and threaten to institute
legal action to break what they allege is
laundry trust in Denver.
Prices for practically all classes o.
laundry work were advanced this week
This includes "aat work" as veil as col
goods. Prices on the latter have been in
creased from 25 TO 100 per cent, accord
ing to the new price lists issued by some
of the larger steam laundries.
Proprietors of agencies assert that the
trust is attempting to put them out OF
business and corral all business for the
wagon trade. which is controlled by the
laundries themselves. They assert that
they have been receiving from rs to 40
per cent on all work turned into the
laundries; that simultaneously with the
advance in prices they were notified that
| their commission would be reduced to
| fiat scale of 20 per cent, and that II they
sent their business to the independents
they would be barred from resuming re-
lations with the larger laundries.
Proprietors of several of the latter
establishments disclaim the existence of
laundry trust, claiming that a laundry
| sells labor and not a commodity. and
therefore cannot become party to a COM
bination in restraint of trade, even
though "gentlemen's agreement
should exist as to the schedule of prices
| to be charged
| The advance In prices. according to
these laundrymen, is due only to read
justment made necessary by the short
ening of hours for women and girls, who
form an important fraction of laundry
labor.

TO OBSERVE LAW

The first prosecution under the law
prohibiting the working of women over
eight hours a day was heard before JUS
tice Mills this week L. ID. West, propri-
etor of the West Court hotel, was
charged with working chambermaids
eight and one-half hours a day. Mr.. West
explained that his housekeeper had the
employment and working of the cham
bermaids and that he knew nothing
about the hours kept.
Justice Mills held that he was tech
nically guilty, but upon the promise that
he would hereafter see that the law was
not violated at his place. Mr.. West was
discharged
