FLOUR ADVANCED TWO
 DOLLARS PAST MONTH.
Poor Wheat Crops and Speculation
 Given as the Reason.

Flour, the worlds most widely used staple, has jumped $2 a bar rel in the past month, says a Hartford paper. Four weeks ago the various brands could be had at from $7.25 to $7.75 a barrel at retail prices. Since then these prices have gone up to $9.25 to $9.75 a barrel, almost double the price of two years ago. Whole sale grocers and retail dealers do not anticipate a further rise. However, the present high cost of this commodi- ty has proved a source of worry to the vexed housewife who is constantly scheming to keep down the grocers' bill Flour, though, is a most import ant item in the list of foodstuffs and the high cost of living" is brought home again.

 Without Pain or Bother

It Is not necessary to use a painful process to remove hairy groWths, for with a little delatone handy you can keep the skin entirely free from these beauty destroyers. To remove hair, make stiff paste with a little pow dered delatone and water. Spread this on the hairy surface and in about 2 the hairs are gone. To guard against disappointment, be careful to get real delatone.

Get the Truth
F'rom the Wilmington Sunday Starr

The conspirators who are seeking to
turn the votes Of Delawares working
men against Colonel DUPONT, by means
OF anonymous circulars and the dis
tribution of copies of the Morning
News containing an attack on the
Senator, are likely to find their efforts
will prove a boomerang. The best
evidence of Colonel duPonts attitude
toward union labor as well as toward
workingmen generally is afforded by
his career as an employer of labor.
For twenty years he was president
and general manager of the Whining
ton and Northern Railroad (now a
part OF the Reading SYSTEM. During
all those years the railroad brother

ally every man on the road. down to
the humblest track walker, and every
empiOye well knew that if necessary
he could get the ear Of the general
manager. Let anyone who wants to
know whether Colonel DUPONT is ia
boris enemy" ask one OF those men
who were associated with him in the
operation Of the Wilmington and
Northern Railroad.
II is true that Colonel DUPONT voted
against the Adamson so-called Eight
Hour Law His reason for this, we
are informed by man with whom he
talked, was not because he is opposed
to an eight-hour day, but because he
believed thai the law, instead of being

an eight-hour day law, will actually
operate-if il operates at ALTO give
an Increase of wages amounting to %
per cent. to a relatively small group
OF railroad men who are already the
best cared for in the business, WHILE
THE GREAT MASS OF RAILROAD
WORKERS WILL BE WHOLLY EA-
CLUDED FROM IT'S BENEFITS.
We do not believe the vote of a
single workipgman will be alienated
from Colonel DUPONT by the malicious
and dastardly campaign that is being
waged to crafty one mans hatred,
for no one who wants to know the
facts need be misled by the calumny
and brazen falsehoOd with which the
city is being flooded All anyone who
seeks to know the truth about Colonel
duPOnt's attitude toward workingmen
needs to do is to ASK ONE OF THE
HUNDREDS OF MEN WHO WORKED
UNDER HIM in the upbuilding and
operation OF the Wilmington and
Northern Railroad.
1t is still remarked among railroad
men that never was there a more loyal
and more devoted force OF men en-
ployed by any railroad than those who
formed Colonel duPOnt's co-laborers
during the score Of years that he per-
sOnally directed the operation OF the
Wilmington and Northern.
II anyone wants to know Colonel
duPOnt's relations TO labor. ask some-
employe Of the old Wilmington and
Northern. THAT'S THE WAY TO
GET THE TRUTH.

This Perfect Laxative
DR.. CaIdwell's Syrup Pepsin an Ideal
Remedy for Consultation.

Dr.. CaIdwell's Syrup Pepsin an Ideal
Remedy for Constipation.
In every family there is more or
less occasion for laxative remedy. It
is to meet this need that DR.. Cald-
wells Syrup Pepsin is prepared. and
that this combination of simple laxa-
tive herbs with pepsin fulfills its pur-
pose is proven by its place in thou
sands OF American homes.
Prof. F.. J. c. Hertzog. the well
known linguist, 2341 North Orianna
St., Philadelphia, Pa, wrote to Dr.
Caldwell that he has used Dr. Cald-
wells Syrup Pepsin in his household
with excellent results and that he and
his family consider it indeed a friend
in need, and always keep a bottle of it
on hand.
Constipation is the direct cause of
much serious illness and is a cOndi-
ton that should never be neglected
Harsh cathartics and violent purga-
tives should never be employed to re-
lieve constipation, because the very
violence of their action shocks the en-
tire system. A mild laxative, such as
DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is far
preferable, being mild and gentle in
its action, without gripping or other
pain or discomfort; its freedom from
all Opiate or narcotic drugs makes it
an ideal remedy for children.

REDFIELD's LITERARY WORN.

G ECRETARY OF COMMERCE REDFInLD has found
~ time Notwithstanding the fact that his department
is behind in its work. to write full page article for
the New York Times trying to demonstrate that the
Underwood tariff law caused decrease Of imports Of
goods that compete with products
II that were true the whole purpose Of the law failed
The Democratic platform OF 1912 charged the Repub-
can protective tariff with the high cost Of living, and
proposed by reducing the tariff to increase foreign
competition thus reducing the cost of living But the
contention Secretary Redhed now makes is un-
sound American business did not close their
factories or curta their output in 1894 just for
the fun OF it, They didn't let bankruptcy notices hang
upon their doors without They didn't let 4OOO-
600 idle men stand in the bread lines because they
liked to see them there.
They were faced by a condition, not a theory and
all the figures Secretary Redfeld and his slow-moving
department can compile will not convince the Ameri-
can business man and the American laborer that re-
moving protective duty did not increase compet-
ton with foreign imports.

torially:
Why Congressman Miller absent from the Re-

where two OF his Republican colleagues of the House
were speakers? Has it been deemed advisable by the
ORGANIZATION ia sdetrack him for fear his prominence
might result in loss OF votes owing to his pro- Ger
