Soft, thick fabrics, loosely woven

of the new fashions. There are many
of them, christened with names more
or less descriptive of their character
which is decidedly furry. They sug
gest warmth and comfort and enhance
the value of the new fashionable col

~See what that headline says, New
York Strike Costs $1.632, 900 Day."
commented Senator Henry NJ Meyers
of Montana in Chicago last week. "The
cost and suffering of a nationwide
strike is beyond comprehension. Look
at the New York case. 1t was an
nounced last week that the strike was
over. 'Firmness' of the reads had
won, and the anti-Wilson papers gloat-
ed editorially. Then something slipped
and the strike was not over. So after
all, President Wilson's way of dealing
with the situation is the better way
and every mother and every wife
should thank him for it."
II see the Chicago Tribune points
with horror to the fact that small trou-
bles of the United States in foreign
countries have cost 81 lives, with In
juries to 1877. Official European war
reports show that the allied powers
have lost $4,000 killed and 6,478,O0
wounded and the central powers, g.
112,637.

Of these appalling figures, may well be
thankful that they have no war on
their hands,"

law went into effect July l. Saloons
in Birmingham closed their doors al
eleven o'clock the night of June 80.

the recorders court of that city for
the morning of July 3. says there was

he is within the truth In stating that
the period is more likely eleven years.

FOR THE EIGHT-H0yR LAW
President Underwood Of the Erk
Railroad AbsoIves Mr.. Wilson
Of Playing Politics.

"The railroad chiefs of the country
were not opposed to the eight-hour
day, contrary to the opinion that has
prevailed throughout the country" was
the authoritative statement made by
President f. d. Underwood of the Erie
railroad in Milwaukee last week.
There is general feeling that the
elght-hour day is coming and no doubt
1t win come and II ought to come.
"The eight-hour day will cost the
Erie railroad $3,OO0,000 year. l do
not believe any additional legislation
is needed by congress on this question.
The interstate commerce commission
can take care of the raise in rates IL
any should be needed. If the commits
sion could take care of both wages
and rates, there would be no objec-
ton because the commission is un-
questionably honest and capable.
'Mr. Wilson, however, is not playing
politics. He was doing what he hon
estly believed was for the good of the
country. Nc one could associate with

tlse country did during these negotia-
lions, and charge Mr.. Wilson with play
ing politics In any way" continued Mr..
Underwood. "Only some newspapers
charged the president with working for
political effect.
This prosperity is going on with
out interruption until the first signs
of peace when there will be letting
down by business men for a time un-
til they can see what is going to hap
pen in the future. But the country
can never have another bank panic or
another currency panic and the nation
will be in far better condition to meet
the demands of the future. There is
no real danger, therefore, for business
in the advent of peace"

BEER pR,nKER AND HIS FAMILY

1T Is difficult to find heavy beer
drinker 40 years of age with a normal
liver, kidneys or heart" says DIR. d.
III. Kress. These vital organs, from
the excessive burden that is thrown
upon them, wear out prematurely.
The beer drinker may have an abund-
ance of flesh, but 1t is of inferior
quality. Surgeons do not care to OPP
crate upon him, because the chances
of recovery are minimized. Should
the beer drinker be stricken down with
pneumonia or some other febrile dis
ease that taxes the heart and kidneys
he would have but three chances out
of ten to make a recovery"

PROHIBITION BENEFITS MILkMAN

A Massachusetts, man, investigating
the dairy business in Denver, found
that during the first four months under
state prohibition there was an increase
in milk sales of over $21, 900.
One dairy had milk route in a dis
trict where AZ saloons had been Its
best customers, and the proprietor ex-
pected to take that particular wagon
off But with the closing of the sa-
looms came the opening of more lunch
counters and milk sales in that district
Increased about SIS a day.
There has been little increase In the
better residence districts-Park hill,
Capitol hill and the well-to-do parts of
the North and South sides, where, If
people drank, at beast they could also
buy milk But a route around the
stockyards has an increased business
Of So a day; one around the railroad
shops an increase of Sc day; one In
the district between Curtis and Lari-
mer street, an increase of So a day.

RAISES STANDARD OF LIVING.

Miss Gertrude Vale, executive sec
rotary Of the bureau Of charity and cor
rections, says in the Denver News:
I'VE have been asked many times
whether prohibition has had any ef-
feet on the work of the city relief
Office. We feel that it has very great
ly helped us. The number of fam
lilies asking relief from the city Office
has been about hundred month less
than for the corresponding month last
year.
Most of that difference Is account
ed for in the employment problem.
We have had very much less trouble
with unemployment this year than
last. That may not be due to prohibit
ton, but at least, prohibition has not
created a hard unemployment prob
lem, as some people anticipated. We
can recall only two cases in which re-
lief has been asked because the man
had been thrown out of employment
by the closing of the saloons.
"Men are using their wages more
for their families. Among us all in
the Office we can think of only two
cases since the first of last January
in which woman has complained
that her husband did not bring home
his wages. Last year that was a
frequent and bitter complaint.
"Grocers tell us, without exception,
that they are better able to make their
collections, and that people are buy
ing more and better quality of food.
One grocer commented that 1t was
worth q great deal to see the in
creased manner of self-respect with
which the women did the buying since
they could buy better things.
$50 we are convinced that how
ever much or little actual drunk
enness may have had to do with the
poverty we meet, at any rate, since
the closing of the saloons people are
being better fed, aud that will go far
to reduce some other cause of pow
erty.
'They are doing better about meet
ing their just obligations, and that
will go far toward raising their self
respect and their general standard of
living"

To Probe Government Ownership.

Senator Newlands of Nevada, chair
man of the senate committee on inter-
state commerce and chairman of the
joint subcommittee composed of the
interstate commerce committees of the
house and senate, has announced that
Chicago will be the seat of a thorough
investigation of government ownership
and control of railroads, telegraph
lines, express companies, river and
utilities, beginning November 20. The
investigation will be in accordance
with President Wilson's recommended
lions to congress, will be conducted
largely from Chicago, and will be very
broad. and searching In scope In full
fillment of the presidents desire that
the questions be given a survey as
thorough as that which led to the en-
actment of the Federal Reserve bank
ing law. s,fssk
The senator states that 1t Is the
purpose to invite all interests involved
to appear and express opinions regard
ing regulation and administration OF
the properties. Economists and pub
licists of eminence, representatives of
the interstate and state railroad COM
missions. representatives Of the rail
road executives, employees and inves-
tors, as well as representatives of
farmers organizations, shippers, bank
ers, chambers Of commerce and other
important business and industrial or
CARNATIONS are expected to appear
and give testimony.
Reorganization of the interstate
commerce commission, Senator New
lands stated, will be considered. In
vestigation will be made of whether
it's jurisdiction should be confined to
questions Of discrimination and rates,
relinquishipg it's jurisdiction over 9th
er matters such as valuation, safety
inspection ETC., to some other body or
bureau.
One of the many important ques-
lions to be considered is whether any
regulation of the wages and hours of
employees of common carriers Is adj
visable and whether 1t is advisable to
take any further legislation regarding
the adjustment of disputes between
carriers and their employees, and re-
garding strikes and lockouts. Other
features to be considered include ma
tional Incorporation, taxation, and
methods Of acquiring government own
ership.

We had already begun to feel the
coming Of spring after leaving the Ural
mountains near Orenburg. and as we
sped or rather crawled south and east
the snow disappeared and the air be-
came milder and balmier until as we
stepped out OF the train at Tashkent
we were In the full glory Of the early
spring. There are few lovelier sights
than the coming Of spring after the
damp and unpleasant winter of Tur-
kestan. There il hardly ever any wind
in Tashkent, and the calm day after

its gates. The rain and warm wealth

soon everything is covered with deli
