A MAYORS TESTIMONY.

Mayor James R. Hanna of Des Moines, la, gives his personal testi- mony to the advantages of prohibition as follows:
 The saloons were closed on the 18th of February. All the desirable locations were picked up by other businesses within the next few weeks following. A few out-of-the-way loca- tions are still vacant.
 T cannot see that there is any ap- preciable effect because of throwing men out of employment and certainly no increase in demands for charity In fact, it is exactly the other way. The men who lost employment have gone into other lines. Some of them have followed up their former calling in other cities, but the men who were spending in the saloons the money which their families needed are now buying groceries and shoes instead. The consequence is a very much bet ter tone in every way. In the first place their families are not now in want and in the second place, they are paying their bills for the ordinary necessities. This is making collec- tions noticeably better in other lines, so our merchants report.
 "Our experience proves that a de- cisive policy can handle the bootleg ging very effectually. There will be some illicit sales, to be sure, but they can be reduced to very small mini. num-"

DYE SITUATION IN UNITED
 STATES NOT IMPROVING

The point has been reached where it is now almost an absolute impossi- bility to procure any materials of dyed varieties entailing the darker shades of blue. This is particularly noticeable it is learned with refer ence to the commonest shade of blue, the navy, and there are some colors that cannot be procured at all.
 The advance in prices has been ap- proximately S100 pound for navy blue to from $500 to $2000 a pound and the dyes purchased cannot be ac- cepted as more than eighty percent pure.
 Many of the big market centers are advocating the pushing of the light CT colors for the seasons wear believ- ing that by the pushing of these col ors, the dye situation can be relieved for a period of time that will enable steps to be taken by the American manufacturers to provide some means for the manufacture of dye stuffs.
 It is also indicated that some dyes of-German make may possibly be pro- cured from China, but there is no certainty of this according to trade journal reports.
 In the purchasing of inks too, the printing establishments of country are going to suffer according to re- port, and already it is impossible to obtain many colors. Inks have ad vanced from 25 per cent for the blacks to 75 per cent and in some instances to even more than one hundred per cent while there are many colors that cannot be obtained at all.
 It is considered probably that this session of congress will be asked to take up measures that will safeguard manufacturers in the United States against the making a dumping ground of this country by foreign manufac- turers at the close of the war. Un- til there is some assurance of needed dyes and other articles now barred on account of war conditions will be taken up by the producers of the country.

Rochester N. r., Dec. William Shakespeare. aged 39 years. no home, discovered there was nothing in a name when he applied for enlistment at the local recruiting office of the United States Marine Corps.

Scientific Rain-Making

THE PROOF.

THE PROOF.
 A gentleman was riding on the street car the other day, when he saw on the advertising spaces, printed in large, clear letters, these words: Pure Rye Whisky-Tones Up the Body, Brightens the Intellect, Invig- crates the Soul" After reading it his eyes dropped involuntarily to the scat beneath the advertisement, and there was a drunken man. His eyes were bleared his face bloated, with red lines Of dissipation in it. and his body slouched down in a sort of collapsed way common to men under the infiu- ence of liquor. The drunken man was an illustration of the advertisement, and proved the falsehood of it. Wine is a r1ocker

SUITS ARE SMART
By MAY MANTON

The coat suit illustrates not alone
one OF the smartest and best liked coats
Of the season, but also a most salts
factory walking skirt and one of the
most fashionable uses 10 which fur
can be put. The coat with the plain
fitted body portion and the haring skirt
or peplum is one Of the newest and
smartest. Ii can be made Just as il is
here, or with the skirt portion ex-
tended to redingote length. The skirt
is in five pieces with prettily shaped
circular yoke finishing the upper edge.
In the illustration, the material is
broadcloth and broadcloth is a pro-
nounced favorite Of the season, but
this model will be handsome in velvet
in heavy silk, in kittens ear cloth or
any similar material as well as in the
one shown here.

illustrated will need, AZ yds. Of ma
