before they can wear them.
So, Mr.. Cochran, you have cheap
ened The Day Book and yourself by
your attack upon the young Messrs,
Field, whom the public generally re-
CARDS as fine, outstanding, democrat
ic fellows; and, instead of increasing
your popularity and that Of your pa
per, it can but act as a boomerang
and prove to be a serious blunder.
The general bonus" system Of
giving a certain percentage to every
employe is not good business, is un-
scientific in that it fails to recognize
and reward individual merit. l
For years Marshall Field & Co. has
given a percentage bonus to many
Of their employees who by faithful
and efficient service have merited it.
This is an incentive to all en-
ployes who have the interest of the
company at heart, when a general
bonus" regardless Of merit, is small
incentive to any one.
While comparisons are odious,"
the facts, upon investigation, would
doubtless show that the average sal

will more than favorably. compare

HIGH COST OF LIVFNG.-There
has been so much ado made in re-
gard to the H. c. L., about boycott
ting this or that, which I think is
nothing more or less than a waste of
time and energy.
Because, while you are boycotting
any particular thing, you are only de-
priving yourself of that article, and
Mr.. Grab-it-all has a good laugh at
you seeing you cheat your own
stomach and giving him a chance to
raise the price Of something else that
you have started to eat while boy
cotting the other.
The best way to kill the H. G. L. is
by 1000 or more of US getting to-
gether and making raid on the
overcrowded warehouses and taking
charge of same by distributing at
cost. Then you will accomplish
something worth while and with good
results. Don't wait for some high
salaried investigator to do it for you,
because you are liable to get up some

HOw to Be Rid of
 Disgusting DandruH

The only way to be permanently ria of disgusting, unttdy daudrufe 40 to correct its cause. Shampooing merely cleanses the scalp for a few daya. then the scales form again as thick as ever.
 To destroy the dandruff germ and get rid of dandrun for good, part tho hair and apply a little of the genuine Parisian Sage directly on the bare scalp, and rub 1t in with the finger tips for a few minutes until absorbed by the scalp. You will surely bo amazed at the result of even one ap- piication, for your hair and scalp win look and feel 100 per cent. better.
 Only a few days massage with Parisian Sage are needed to destroy the germs that cause the dandrum to form. The scalp becomes healthy, the
 hair will grow better and show more life and vitality, and you need never be troubled by dandrum again. Faded. dull or lifeless hair is quickly restored to beauty by this simple process, which is absolutely harmless. and will not stain the hair or make 1t greasy. Parigian Sage can be obtained from Lee & Osgood Co. and druggists everywhere. It is not expensive.
