with sour bile crashes into it, breaking
it up. This is when you feel that awful
nausea and cramping. If You are slug

Nobody at Westinghouse elsewhere
for that matter-yet knows Just why
the president took the u-boat message
to congress. He accomplished nothing
by it that could not have been procured
by the publication of his note to Ber-
lin. He asked for no action by con-
had done. The days Immediately pre-
ceding his going to the capitol con-
tanned no inkling of such a purpose
though there was the familiar picture
OF the president burning the midnight
oil. over the phraseology of the note.
All at once he determines to go to con-
gress. Why? No explanation has yet
been found that does not run, in the
last analysis, into the presidents own
personal and political necessities.

"You Can Take It or Leave IT,"

The story is told of typncal old
time merchant who. when anyone hes
itated on a purchase, remarked:
You can take it or leave it. | don't
care whether ! work or no. If you
don't want it, someone else will"
That spirit might serve in the old
times. In those days, styles changed
little and merchants carried goods
over from year to year. They could be
fairly sure that if they didn't sell this
season they would at some other.
The present is a time Of changing
styles. Live merchants clean UP stock
and get fresh goods. They would not
dare do otherwise. What is good style
in 1916 may ,sbe outlawed in 1917.
The only way to clean up stock at
each season is to advertise in the
newspapers. The man who doesn't is
apt to be the old-timer who didn't
care whether he worked or no."
