be replaced by oxide of iron although
the latter lis not so good But it APP

THRIFT IN WARTIME.

The remark rs frequently made and
with good sense, that in the uncer--
tain business outlook now existing,
there should be a wholesale effort fol
more thrift and economy in living
expenses. The war lis going to de
stroy billions of Ioanable capital. The
American people will have to take up
enormous quantities of their stocks
and bonds now held in Europe.
The trouble comes, i'm putting this
idea into practice that as the pros
perity of the country has grown most
people have taken on more costly
habits of living. 1t is easy to let the
dimes and dollars slip out into new
ways of spending, and triply hard
to return to former frugal habits.
For nuisance, a young man remark
ed in the hearing of tie writer a
short time ago, that a man must hold
on to a nickel pretty tight, if he
made it a practice to black his own
boots. In his home city, he said, the
business streets were lined with boot
backing establishments. Few young
men i'm his set condesCended any lon
ger to black their own boots.
This young man is apparently get
ting a aslary of about $500 per
week. His business demanded that
he make a good appearance. He
should have his boots polished every
day At five cents each time, that
would be over $l5 a year. A substan-
tial chunk out of his moderate in

One such expense may not be of
vital moment But Just ais soon as
people begin to hire others to do
what they can equally we'll do for
themselves. they become infected
with the contagion of waste and
easy spending.
All the money that the people can
save will be needed in the next few
years to keep the factories, the rail-
roads, and the mines going. It is
a time when people in moderate cir
cumstances shou' d cast away false
pride They should feel no shame.

A TIME WHEN BUSINESS NEEDS
PUSHING.

The uncertainties of this war per
iod of course make the immediate
business future more or less profile
NAUTICAL Most people agree that in
time the United States will get new
trade out of this war But any sharp
and sudden revival can hardly be
expected.
Under these circumstances. prud-
ence is of course called for all the
same, it is no time to stop efforts
to sell goods.
The right view to take of the mat
ter was illustrated by the course of
a certain manufacturing concern,
known to the writer. They found war
complications had cut off about 25
per cent of their trade What did
they do? A timId management might
have called in part of their sales
men. in order to save expense.
On the contrary, this firm took
their highest priced man, and start
ed him cut on very extensive and
expensive tour all over the country.
Their old trade being injured, they
are meeting the situation by drum
ming up new business
This spirit of enterprise and of
to conditions has a
lesson for all engaged in retail trade

prune his expenses, so perhaps he
cuts his advertising appropriation.

UNIFORMITY IN MEMS ORES

UNIFORMITY IN MEMS DRESS.
One of the humorous phases of
the clothes question is the unifor-
nifty of mems styles. This varies in
inverse proportion to age Your lit
tie man in the grammar school is
most subject to this rigidity. If all
the other boys are wearing caps, it
is a terrible trial to him to appear
in a hat.
You may prove to him that your
selection is the latest New York
style. But if the boys in his home
set are not wearing it, it becomes
obnoxious and hated. His feeling is
judicious in a way. If the hat varies
but a trifle from the accepted form
in his particular circle, it is sure
to find it's way to the mud puddle,
and that speedily.
When you get up to the age OF
the college boy, the same spirit is
nearly as owerful. ALI the boys will
be found wearing the same thing I'M
der the same circumstances. If one
is wearing a derby hat on the OPEN
ing day, ALI of them are doing so.
At negligee hours, all are roaming
about in most nondescript knock
abouts
Men still have certain rigid epochs
of dress. The straw hat is supposed
to be very largely called in on Sept.
15. Within a few days, they mysteri-
ously disappear as if by universal a.
greement. On the stock exchanges,
an offender against this code is as
issted TO conform to the universal
practice. In other circles the wear
ing of straw hat a few days too
late makes one the subject of deri-
isve remains.
AS men grow older, they have
more Individuality in dress. And
this Individuality is growing. The
soft hat for instance, has a far
wider vogue than it had a few years
ago.
Any man can improve his appear
ance, by fitting his clothes to his
own personality and physique. Some
years ago, thin men We're made ridi-
culous by conforming to the range
for tight clothes. Now slender man
can present a rather rugged appear
ance, by a well fitted suit built on
full lines.

He Left Here September IA.
From Stevens Point Daily Journal
Where is Edwin H. JOY? This is a
question which his relatives and
some of his personal friends have
been trying to solve for several
days, but so far without success,
and without even a clew that would
seem to lead to a solution of the
question.
Mr.. Joy for many years has been
a resident of this city, and is well
and most favorably known in bust
ness and social circles. On Sunday
September Is, he announced that
he was going to Chicago and is sup
posed to have left on one of the
early Monday morning trains. This
was nearly two weeks ago and since
then nothing has been heard from
him, either at the box factory of
which he lis proprietor and which he
by his relatives. Neither can any
of his relatives or personal friends
conceive of any reason why he
absent himself.
Mrs. JOY has been visiting rela--
tives in st. Louis for several weeks
and during her absence Mr.. Joy took
his meals at Dan Giles, $40 Pine St.
He had his dinner there Sunday. Sep
temter 49, 1t was raining when he
left the house and he borrowed Mr..
G1-es' umbrella. At 9 O'Clock that
evening he returned the umbrella an
then left the house and so far as
is now known that was the last
time he was seen by any of his &C
uqaintances here.
His son, Ross Joy, who lives in
Chicago, is now here in AN effort
to solve the mystery of his fathers
absence. Before coming here he had
visited the Chicago hotels where Mr..
10y was in the habit of stopping and
also the places with which he would

For the same reasons, Editor Bal
ley, did you support Taft for re-elec-
ton? Are you supporting Wilson?
Did you give MoGovern a helping
hard in his campaign for the SEN
atorship after mis- years of honest,
efficient service?" Have you been
found supporting Senator DaFollette,
who. according to most accounts, has
given both honest and efficient SER
vice to this state since 1901?
The custer proceedings mentioned
by our "day-later'' contemporary,
whose editorials, by the way, are al
ways more in evidence after an cleo
ton than before these "ouster pro-

right of the people to nominate and
to elect public officers. Custer pro-

don't you think?
