Progress

Material civilization is the
result of two main forces
transportation and printing.
Printing makes possible the
distant communication of
ideas.
In the development of the
comforts and refnementS of
life the publications typified
by the Butterick magazines
have for half a century effec-
tually promoted
Better Food
Better Kitchen Equipment
Better Sanitation
Personal Hygiene
Home Furnishings
Better Clothing
In the remarkable advance
in the comforts of life in
America since 1868, when
Butterick was established,
our magazines for women
have taken no small part.

"A Knife that
Cuts TlUO Ways

THROUGHOUT the country and (Philadel-
phla is not excepted) retailers of Mems
Clothing recently have adopted plan to increase
the sale of clothing by offering an extra pair Of
trousers with every suit sold at a given price
usually $l5
On the surface this seems to be an ad-
vantage to the buyer, but careful analysis will
put different complexion on the plan.
For 81 years Wanamaker & Brown have
manufactured good clothing for men.
Our assertion that both the producer and
the consumer suffer when clothing is made and
sold at SIS with an extra pair of trousers
thrown in is backed by the voice of authority.
Two things are bound to happen The
maker must cheaper the cost of his materials to
provide the additional trousers and the buyer,
therefore, receives inferior suit
This transaction is knife that cuts two
ways The producer sells inferior merchandise.
he buyer, receiving neither wear nor worth,
becomes dissatisfied, and dissatisfied customer
is no customer at all. HE. DOES NOT GO
BACK TO THAT STORE! The buyer has
lost the value OF his money and the seller has
lost his customer. Both lose!
1t Is the business of good to meet fair CONNIE
hon fairly but not to meet unfair competition unfairly

BOTH SIDES REST AT
 NEW HAVEN TRIAL
Judge Allows Government and Defense Two Days
 Each to Sum Up Case.

New York, Dec. 3e.-The defense William Rockefeller and ten other former directors of the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad, charged with conspiracy under the Sherman antitrust law to monopolize the railroad traffic of New England.
 Thetrial has been in progress since October 13. ,#
 The announcement was made after
 Richard V. Lindabury, of counsel for
 William Rockefeller, had read to the
 Jury a statement in behalf of his
 client who, he announced, was too i'll T6 testify. .........,.... The statement was stipulation agreed to by government counsel as to what his testimony would have been. Tn it Rockefeller denied that he ever formed or entered into con- spiracy. The acquisitions by the New Haven while he was director, were not made as the part of any precon- ceiy1ed plan. In voting for them, he used his judgment, he said, as to what was for the best interests of the New Haven and never did he derive any personal profit from his associa- ton with the New Haven, except as came to all stockholders.
 The New Haven directors, his state rnent said, were advised by Counsel of high legal standing and since ] 907 by Edward D. Robbins who he regarded "as peculiarly qualified" to give advice. There were also law yers among the board of directors and l?e "never supposed" that anything he did was in violation of the Sherman law.
 Rockefeller denied all knowledge of the negotiations between Charles s. Mellen and Ehson J. Chamberlain in with the Grand Trunk traffic agreement until report was made to the board on the agreement which seemed to him much like other traffic agreements and which he was { cid had nothing to do with the 8 abandonment of the Grand Trunks extension from Palmer, Mass, to R. I. He also denied of the Metropolitan steam ship transactions.
 The statement was read after the government had completed the cross of Charles M. Pratt, who, with Lewis Cass Ledyard were the orly defendants who went on the stand in their own behalf.
 Charles s. Mellen, was called by the government in rebuttal and after he had briefly testified, the govern ment also finally rested it's case.
 The jury was excused until Mon- day morning, Judge Hunt stipulated with counsel that both sides would lot occupy more than two days each |

President of the board of ag- riculture, who are likely to resign be- cause Premier Asquith's plan for a modified, form of conscription does not go far enough
 These men contend that it is wrone. to force all the single men to serve in the army when there is large pro- portion of married men who could pe spared more easily and that alto gether the premier's plan is a useless compromise, says the paper The Express therefore anticipates fair crop of resignations among the SUD- porters of voluntary enlistments and the determined conscr1ptionists but says that the resignations will not ,e serious enough to imperil the exist ence of the government. The paper also expresses the opinion that the Earl of Derby, director of recruiting. will find a place in the reconstructed ministry

Count Westarp added that the government by taking efficient measures had succeeded in keeping prices below the level of both neu- tral and enemy countries especially below that of Great Britain.
 The committee expressed it's abso- 1ute certainty that food for Germany's population is assured for a war of any duration whatever, and that Ger many's economic strength is unbrok- en. There is no necessity to end the war one day earlier because of econ omic reasons it declares, and the mil- itary and political situation give as- surance of victory"

' German Attack Fails.

$ Unofficial reports from the extreme northern portion of the eastern front state the Germans have made a seri- ous but futile attack in the region of Lake Babit while the Russians west of Lake Ranger are threatening Mitau. These opposing attacks create a delicate situation, as successful ad- vance by either would endanger con- siderable forces of the defeated op- ponent. ..
 Along the western front, except forming and aerial engagements on the British lines, the chief fighting seems to be confined to the Vosges where, in the region of Hartmanns- Weilerkopf, the French claim to have made 8 successful advance. Berlin of- ficially minimizes this success, but does not deny it wholly. s5

Nothing has happened to change the Macedonian position, but it is gen. orally believed that any advancement into Greek territory must be made by the Bulgarians. the opinion being that the Austro-Gernans cannot spare enough troops for a serious attempt against Saloniki. @ .ls <-.. ..>.>s
