Investigations have been made
in regard to the honesty of the
textile fabrics on the markets.
These Investigations show US
how great adulteration has been
and how much the public has
been defrauded. Pure food laws
have been put upon the statute
books Of each State. Let us
hope that it will not be long I'M
til pure textile laws will also be
added.
/ The manufacturer will have to
label his fabrics with reliable in
formation in order that the buy
er may be intelligent in buying.
The difficulties are not all con-
nected with the fabrics alone,
the thoughtful woman of today
asks other questions under
what conditions was the work
done? Was it done in sweat
shops under bad conditions, dur
ing long hours of labor, with
very little pay? Until recently
j the purchasers responsibility
has not been recognized, and Of
tentimes the attempt has been
made to arouse it by making the
housewife. afraid. When she
realizes that her children are
wearing clothes that are con-
taminated with disease germs,
she will begin to do something.
She will insist that her goods
come from an inspected factory
and that the garments she buys
come from places that are known
to employ well-paid labor.
This appeal is not so neces-
sary now, for it is recognized Of
tener now, that while it may not
be our own people it may be
those of someone else, so we can
not help feeling sorry as long
as any children are forced to
grow up in work-crowded homes
deprived of mothers care, cheat
ed Of their childhood and with
all this sacrifice, even then, hav-
ing but a scarcity of support
from the mothers under-paid
labor.
Thus the purchase of ready
made clothing becomes a prob
lem. 1t involves not only color,
size and shape, but the place of
making, the question of the
summers half holiday fer the
girl who sells and the union la
bells on suits; the buyer then
becomes vitality interested in the
consumers league and insists up
on the label; the child labor
committee that makes laws to

islative association that reduc-
es the hours of labor to a fewer
number; the Juvenal Protection
Association that is trying to in
sure a fair chance at decent play
for the boy that works and the

into the wages and treatment of
tiny children called dressmakers
apprentices, and so the duty of
selecting wearing apparel for
the family becomes to the wo-
man an opportunity of the rich

COOPER TELLS
WHY TANLAC
IS POPULAR
Because the Preparation Con.
tains Real Merit, He Says
in Statement.

IF have been successful with
Tanlac," says l.. T. Cooper, sit is
because the preparation contains
real merit.
'Tanlac is the result of many
years of arduous study by my prin-
cipal chemist. In fact, the two of
us have carefully watched its devel-
opment from the beginning of the
experimental tests to its present
high state of efficiency.
"In cases of catarrhal affections
of the mucus membranes, stomach,
liver, and kidney complaints, be-
lieve there is nothing so far discov-
cred will equal the action of Tanlac.
Ever and anon some one sug-
gests something that may tend to
better our conditions, whether 1t
may appertain to our health, our
business, or our sociological state.
1t has, therefore, been my pleasure
this time to offer to the world Tan
lac.
when came to Louisville,
stated that the success of the med
icine would be as great in this city
as it was elsewhere. l offered Tan
lac upon its merits, knowing full
well that it would prove satisfac-
tory If properly tested.
"The success the preparation has
achieved here in Louisville is ample
evidence that my confidence in Tan
lac is we'll placed.
"A large percentage of your best
people are now using the prepara-
ton. and they are daily testifying
to its excellent worth as a medicine
of exceptional value in instances of
catarrh, stomach, liver and kidney
arrangements, nervous debility, and
in cases where a superior tonic is
required.
tbs true that the demand for
Tanlac has been large, but no larger
than / had expected. Louisville is
only awakening to an appreciation
of the full value of such a prepara-
ton. Tanlac's success in your city
will be even greater"

PRESIDENT GARFIELD

son Of the late President Garfield,
told one of the editors of the Amer
lean Magazine the following story
about travelling in 1878 as a boy
with his father, who was campaign

Michigan, young Garfield said to his
father: Why do you repeat so
much? Do you know that you said
the same things several times to-
night? Do you know that you said
the same things tonight that you
said this afternoon in Detroit Cen

MEMBER SHAKER COLONY
BUYS HIMSELF an AUTO
Once Flourishing Settlement Has
DwindIed-Much Fine
Land Left.

Hopkinsville, KY, May 14.-Try.
ing out his new automobile, John
Perryman drove to town yesterday
from South Union. He is one Of the
twelve Shakers left in the once
noted Shakertown colony. The ages
of the Shakers range from so to SO
years. They are the remnants OF
the disciples of Ann Lee, founder OF
the Omitted Society of Believers in
the Second Coming of Jesus Christ
who settled in South Union in 1900.
Thirty-five or forty years ago
Shakertown was a thriving COM
munistic village of between 700 and
500 Inhabitants. The products of
their mills and factories were known
far and wide. They successfully
operated silk and wooden mills /;
they made hats for men and women.
Their canning works became ia
nous. Nobody, SO older people de-
clare. ever made such strawberry
preserves, and their fine salt-rising
bread was household word In this
region. On 1000 fertile acres great
crops were raised. They lived in
large, two-story brick houses, each
with accommodations for about 200
persons and there were solid walls
between the dormitories for the men
and women. ~
Celibacy Is one of the tcnets of
the denomination, and with the
passing of the years the fiourishing
colony has steadily decreased in
numbers. Land has also been sold
until the holding at present is 5000
acres. The old buildings are in a
generally dilapidated condition, and
the hum of mills has been silent a
quarter Of century. But the little
colony of old people is far from
want. All the members are well-to-
do, and they raise abundant crops,
with colored tenants to do the work.
The property they own is very val
liable.
Mr.. Perryman was frank in ex-
pressing his views as to what he
would like to see done with the
property when it finally passes from
the hands of the Shakers. He is
hopeful that great industrial
school for Kentucky boys may be
left as a memorial to the Shakers.
