BUYERS OPPORTUNITY

As almost everyone knows, GER
tain conditions have SO increased
the cost of goods that 'here is a
scarcity of dependable merchan-
disc on the market.
Selling prices have increased in
in proportion to the sharply in
creased production cost. Despite
this trade condition, our connection
with the great Retailers CONNER
cial Union" enabled us to purchase
months ahead of our requirements
with the result that we can now
offer the same high quality of
goods as you have bought of us in
the past at practically the same
prices.
In the face of a constantly rising
market, we cannot maintain these
prices much longer and earnestly
advise all to take advantage of the
present opportunity. Special saw
ings can be made by anticipating
your needs early.
Our iall-stocks are now complete
and look will convince you that
it pays to trade at the White House

FOR ABSORBANT
 COTTON ARE FOUND

Recent consular reports mention several more or less successful cheap substitutes for absorbant cotton that have been introduced since the Euro pean war began. One of these, now on sale in Berlin, is known as Zig nin," and is made of pine cellulose. It is said to absorb blood better than cotton, but cannot compete with the latter as a dressing for wounds. It is however, pronounced satisfac- tory for use as a second dressing. A cellulose wadding, made by secret process from chemical wool pulp, is now offered as Q dressing for wounds in Sweden. It comes in very thin sheets, resembling tis- sue paper. The use of stelilized sphagnumm oss for the same pur- pose appears to have been general ized by the exigencies arising from the war.-Scientific American.

Says Greece Violation of Treaties A Small Matter Compared
 Allies Conduct

ATHENS, Jan. 20-King Con- stantine today sent for an Assoc lated Press correspondent, and gave vent to his feeling against the all lies. He says that Greece violation of treaties, as given out by the allies, even it admitted, cannot be compar- ed with the treatment accorded his country by both England and France in closing out her ports and com- hitting other abuses.
 The King gave as his reason for call in the correspondent that he wishes the United States to know through the Press the exact condi- rion, that in the event Greece joins the Teutons against the allies, the people may judge what lead her to take the step. The correspondent says that the King seemed deeply affected by the turn of affair, which he said he infinitely regretted.
