The difficult part of making ready
the winter wardrobe now, lies in de.
Gliding upon just what one wants.
If it is question of the street suit
that is to be decided, safe answer
lies in two directions at least The
severely plain tailored suit, with plain
skirt. cut shoe-top length and moder-
ately wide, or plated skirt, may be
chosen, to be worn with a semifitted
coat having faring skirt portion,
long, plain, rather close-fitting coat
sleeves and finish of bone buttons
and inconspicuous stitching. The
plain, tailored suit does not come
back" each season, for the simple rea-
son that it never goes out. 1t is al
ways with us. With some variation
of lines or length or fullness 1t brings
its own style into line with the pass
ing modes.
Then there are suits on decidedly
new lines. Among them those that
show the influence of the redingote
which has inspired the designers of
so many and such varied models. A

A BIT OF HISTORY.


A BIT OF HISTORY.
The revenue system by which the
United States became partner in the
liquor business originated during the
Civil war. In order to prosecute the
war to free four million slaves the
congress Of the United States passed
a bill putting high tax on liquor.
When the bill had passed both
houses, Salmon P. Chase, secretary of
the treasury, brought it to President
Lincoln for his signature. Chase"
said Mr.. Lincoln, Il would rather have
my right arm taken off than to sign
that bill, but / reckon I'll have to do
it. You say it is necessary to carry
on this war to free those human
slaves. We have got to do it. But
tell me, Chase, will you promise, and
will congress promise, to repeal this
bill as soon as the war is over?"
Chase promised.
But at the close of the war and
before the promise could be redeemed,
President Lincoln was assassinated
and the promise forgotten. Doubtless
had Lincoln lived the country would
not today be under the domination Of
the legalized liquor traffic.

TREND OF THOUGHT.

At the convention in Chicago of the
Associated Advertising Clubs OF the
World No speaker evoked more enthu-
siastic applause than did Mr.. Henry
ID. Estabrook. New York attorney,
when he made plea for temperance
and lauded the European rulers who
are curbing the drink evil. This ex-
preston of temperance sentiment
among the country's advertising men
is, said Mr.. H. S. Houston, the new
ly elected president Of the associat-
ed clubs, Significant of the trend of
thought These men are in closer
touch with the public feeling and de-
sires than any other class except
newspaper men. Perhaps better than
politicians they reflect the general
state of mind on grave problem, and
conclusions may be drawn from their
attitude"

BEER A POISON.

The man who uses a quart of beer
daily expends enough for it to buy
three loaves of bread for his family,
says DR.. Winfield Scott Hall. He gets
for himself trivial amount of nour-
ishment worth half cent and Incl
dentally takes into his system nearly
two ounces of narcotic poison, the
influence of which is tc make him
less alert and therefore more amen
able to accidents, to make him less
efficient and therefore more likely to
lose his job, and to make him more
likely to suffer from toxins and in.
fections.

TRAVELLERS WANT PROHIBITION.

Years ago the travelling man got
many orders by taking his customers
out and buying them drinks. In fact
the system was highly approved and
commonly employed. But now comes
the Iowa Union of Commercial Tray
elers, in convention assembled, and
calls for national prohibition. The
very men who used to be regarded as
the friends of liquor are now it's enc
mics. Why? Because they know the
saloon business scripples trade, and
when trade is crippled travelling men
can't sell goods. Any travelling man
