MERCHANTS FAVOR IT

Before C. A. LaVigne came here to
speak in favor of the Stephens
Ashurst bill, pending in congress. the
Merchants Journal, published in To-
peka. had in its May issue published
blank ballots on propositions much
similar to those noted in the Stephens
Ashurst bill. Hundreds of ballots,
marked, have been returned and on
only enc has the small merchant voted
against regulation of resale prices on
standard goods. The two propositions
voted on by Kansas merchants follow:
There should be federal legislation
permitting the maintenance Of resale
prices, under proper restrictions, or
identified merchandise for voluntary
purchase, made and sold under COM
petitive- conditions
| Federal legislation should take the
form of an amendment to the trade
commission act defining the condi-
tions, under which price cutting is an
unfair method of competition and au-
thorizing the Federal Trade Commits
sion to prevent such price cutting in
interstate and foreign commerce"
The plan to submit the question of
maintained prices to referendum
vote of the members of the United
States chamber of commerce will
reach the big business men and big
merchants of the country. But it was
felt that it would not reach the small
merchants Hence, the insertion of

opinion of the small merchants
The second proposition submitted

At very little cost any woman can
rid her face of hairy growths if she
will use the delatone treatment. This
is made by mixing some water with
a little powdered delatone- This paste
is spread upon the hairy surface for
or 3 minutes, then rubbed off and the
skin washed, when every trace of hair
will have vanished. No harm results
from this treatment. but care should
be used to buy real delatone.-Adver-
