when it only applies to an insecticide
which we are manufacturing and SELL
ing, and to show you how unreliable
such competitors are, they are calling
this the Pure Food Law and applying
1t as such to our whole line, when 1t
is only an insecticide law, which is
distinct and separate law from the
Pure Food Law.
The facts concerning the matter
are. the insecticide above referred to,
is an article we have been manufact-
uring and selling for a number of
years and have sold so far this year,
just about twice as much as any pre-
vious year during the same period of
time, which is at least an indication
that ii is an article that gives salts
faction, and people wish to, and do,
re-buy.
The Federal government recently
secticide to the effect that the manu-
facturers of same had to place on
the labels this wording: Contains
Not More Than 12R Per Cent of
Water, Inert Matter" and we, hav-
ing in stock a lot of this insecticide
already labeled with the old labels
without this notation appearing
thereon. and not being aware of the
recent insecticide law, sent a ship
ment out with the old label appearing
thereon. Consequently. the Federal
Governments agent took the matter
up and could not do anything else but
fine us for same, which was his whole
and complete duty, which we, as
above stated, were guilty of.
All liquid insecticides have to nee
essarily contain a certain amount of
water to cause it to mix chemically
right and to be a safe, reliable and
satisfactory article, and our competit-
ors insecticidc (should they have
one) contains the same thing, if it is
made by dependable chemists.
This insecticide is the same as it
"a "a oil lnh 10 h,,
destroyed; lot of new ones printed
according to law; and the matter is
closed, and the sale of same contin-
ues to increase.
We give you this information with
the view of placing you in position
to meet such competition in an eff
fective way, should such stories be
told in your territory. Our instruc-
tions TO you are though, to not sling
mud nor to be mean nor to criticise
competitors in any way, letting them
do all the unclean work. Our desire
Is that You make a perfectly clean

LOWER RATE-CURTIS
Kansas Senator F'avOrs One Cent OH
Local Delivery Letters.

Washington Sept. gislation
fixing rate of cent on local delivery
letters seems apparent soon and L
hope in the next session of congress-,
said Senator Charles Curtis, of Kan
sas, today. For many years the sena-
tor has been one of the principal advo-
Gates IN congress for a cheaper letter
postage, being one of the first mem
bers who ever introduced a bill pro-
viding a REIMBURSEMENT of postage
rates.
Commenting on the pending propo-
sition the senator said: when | first
began boosting for a cheaper letter
rate the general public and the MEM
bers of congress did not seem to APP
preciate the iniQuities of the existing
rates for postage. For the first time
since | have been connected with the
legislative branch of the government
the patrons of the postal service and
apparently majority of the members
of the two houses of congress have
reached realization of the true situa-
ton and are about prepared to take
some definite action on the matter.
Il am informed that the members
of the postal committee appreciate the
situation and are disposed to take up
the subject of readjusting postage
rates soon after the opening of the
next session of congress in December.
Just what kind of bill will be re-
ported can not be stated. with any de-
gree of accuracy, at this time. But
it is almost certain to contain a pro-
vision to at least extend to the patrons
of the postal service a rate of l cent
per ounce on local delivery sealed let
tiers. With the establishment of this
rate it is only a question of a short
time until a universal rate of l cent
for all letters will be granted.
ne of oh
rate of postage are apparent to every
one. Should congress grant relief
along this line it will serve as a great
boom to business generally and l am
sure there would be enough more let
tiers written and mailed to justify the
change When the last reduction was
made in the eighties from to 2 cents
for letters it resulted almost immedi-
ately in a tremendous increase in the
volume of mail and general revenue"

THERE is A MIGHTY GOOD TIP FOR BOYS IN
THE LETTER WRITTEN BY A BOY
BY JANE whitaker

MISS Jane WnLdhoT-l ISdu yum
story to Johnny, Tommy and the rest
of the bunch and I think you under
stand fellows, so am writing to you,
thinking you might make story out
of what 1 have to say. Only don't
put in my name because I'm writing
confidential.
ct is slow for a fellow in big city
because there isn't a thing to do that
doesn't seem to be wrong, but it's
bad to get in with gang unless the
gang has got sense. and there is I0ts
that a fellow can do by himself, as
my case shows.

it is hard work, too, but it don't pay

have money for good times.
81 did belong to a gang most fell
lows do-and we got gang ideas, too.

any guys or anything like that, but
we wanted to do adventurous things,
as you say. 1 would have been with

house until one night when my sister
expected her beau she asked me why
1 didn't go out like other boys.
Don't you put that in wrong about
my sister. She's the best, ever. She's
been a mother to me and she don't
get married because she knows dad
and l need her, but she didn't want
me keeping fooling around when she

there every night it was open, and
one night a fellow there asked me
why l didn't go to night school and
take manual training or something
to improve my mind. instead of read
ing novels, and started in.
Eve had lots of fun out of night
school, and it's teaching me trade,
and some day soon Pm going to get
regular work that pays something,
but if don't have discovered some
thing you can pass on to the fellow
who is lonely that will keep him from
getting in trouble with gangs, and
that's this:
''In the fall, winter and part of the
spring he can go to night school and
take up things that will keep him in
terested, and not only that, but will
do him good, and, what's more, he'll
go home so good and tired he won't
want to think of the gang.
And if he's not anxious to study
and learn things he don't need to do
his adventuring with a gang, either.
He can go into the public library
reading rooms and get all the adven-
ture he can put into his system read
ing of other guys adventures, and it
won't land him in Joliet.
That's all l hope you will write
it up for some other fellows"
It's a story that doesn't need

thanks. hope some of the boys will
take a tip, for you've given a good
one.

Peace Next Year,

Eliminating the possibility of complete
collapse, which is not to be foreseen in any
period as short as twelve months, Germany
should, then, taking the military aspect,
be able to keep the war on enemy soil not
only all of this year, but most if not all
Of the following. She will, then, not be IN
position where she will be compelled by
any military situation to make peace On
her enemies terms, even if Austria grows
weaker, or is put out of the conflict alto
gether. She would doubtless be willing to
make peace, in such conditions, on any
basis that did not require enormous sacri-
fees.
But it is at this point that the military
phase merges into the economicand politi-
cal. Some months ago, writing in these
columns, / suggested that if the enemies Of
Germany were unable to make any prog
reSs before winter, if the deadlock of last
May continued, then treaty of peace on
lne basis of status quo ante might result.
ms opinion was sharply criticised in
France and Great Britain, but it was criti-
sised on the ground that great change
