Our page today offers 1uor1d Of Fashion Ne1o:
Linens for beds, table and
 general household use

In an editorial last week on this page we said: "Government report indicates dry goods cheap CT in Birmingham than anywhere" Of course the government report did not show which store in Birmingham was selling it's dry goods at the lowest prices, but report from the thrif- ty housewives of Birmingham would indicate this store. Now there is a reason for this. We are not giving our merchandise away and we are not sacrificing the profits we deserve. The reason we can sell household linens cheaper than other stores and still make profit is be- cause we protected ourselves months ago against the rise which our foresightedness told us was inevitable. And in protecting our selves we have protected you.

 The New Edison is the highest type of musical instrument. Speaking mechanically it is per- feet. It is beautiful in construc- tion, it's lines reflecting those of the great furniture periods.
 In assembling a collection of Edi- son records there is a permanency which one does not enjoy when buying talking machine records of a perishable nature. Edison

religion IS IN HEELS,
GYPSY SAYS OF women
Evangelist Scores Fair Sex and Asserts
There Is Personal Devil.

Evangelist Gypsy Smith, jr., was rather
tough on woman in his sermon In the
tabernacle at Sixteenth and V streets
northwest, last night
He believed that most women have
their religion in their heels. He also had
this to say about them:
II Just simply can't understand you
women. Before Christianity came you
were only beasts of burden, and yet how
you treat Christi
The men also came in for their share,
Evangelist Smith saying Of them: Il
have more respect for Bob Ingersoll than
for some Of you men. Why?-Because
you say there is God and then turn
away and forsake Him"
Text of Sermon
Evangelist Smith took as his text the
fifth chapter of Mark, in which occurs
the story Of the man with the devils, the
woman with the incurable disease. and
daughter OF Jairus who was dead and
brought back to life by Jesus.
He said, "The first OF these people We
would have sent to the insane asylum,
the second to the hospital and the third
to the grave.
Some say they don't believe in a
personal devil If that is so, then who
Is CARRYING on his work in Washington?
II you say there's no devil, then l say
you've never tried to live according to
the Bible for twenty-four hours. Why,

THINKS Dying EASIER
Than LIVING RIGHTLY
Latter a Long. Laborious Job, Pastor
Declares.

Tt In q lot easier for many to die for
their country than to live for their coun-
try" said DR.. Lewis z. Purdum to his
congregation at the Ingram Memorial Con-
gregational Church yesterday morning.
His topic was: Living for Ones Coun-
try"
DR.. Purdum said the sacrifice of dying
for ones country might be made In one
sublime moment, but that living for one 8
country was one long laborIous job.
"I make this statement" said DR.. Pur-
dunn, without detracting one iota from
the heroism of those who have died for
this country. 1t is an act that calls for
the full measure of devotion. but it is
Just as great an act as to live for ones
country.
I'm the final analysis one reason why
so many are called to die for ones coun-
try is because too many have failed to
live for their country There is an old
saying that an ounce of prevention Is
worth a pound OF cure. In this applics-
ton war is the cure. Heroic living for
ones country is the preventative, and
heroic living for ones country means a
righteous life"
Dr. Purdum took a slam at Bernhardi
and his doctrine.
Bernhard says that the efforts d.
rected toward the abolition Of war are
foolish and unwarranted, ana must be
stigmatized as unworthy Of the human
race. I do not question his sincerity, but
am persuaded that II he had been one
Of the common people and had served
his time in the trenches, in the smoke and
fire, the mud and miro, that he would
have repented OF this doctrine long ago.
'It Is true that sacrifice Of self for the
attainment of lofty ideas furthers the
cause of human progress, and without
moral stagnstion will result
But 1t is not the lack OF occasional wars
that creates a tinid nation. 1t is the
failure to seize opportunities for sen-de-
nial by living for ones country.
The men and women who stand their
ground in these moral battles will find
in times Of peace all the chance they are
looking for to exercise the heroism in
their souls"

President Wilson will get under way
without delay. Both the Federal Trade

demanding funds to finance the probe.
A suggestion as to finding out the rea-
sons of the high cost OF bread came yes
terday from Representative Rainey. OF
Illinois, in the form of letter to Sec
retary of Agriculture Houston

Rainey, 1.-The calling of the following men
to testify as to what they know about

phis, president of the National Master
Bakers Association; J. NJ. Bell, OF Chi
cago, secretary of that organization;
John Lind, of Minneapolis, attorney for
the wheat miners; the editor OF the Mod
ern Miller of st. Louis. I suggest calling
these men because at the convention OF
the master bakers in Salt Lake City last
August Mr.. Mcdonald announced a ma
ton wide move would be inaugurated at
once both by advertising and publicity
to educate the public to a lO-cent loaf.
