The call for cooperation in every
line of industry was never more urg-
ent than at this time.
A resume of the achievements Of our
national government during the past
few months is sufficient to convince
the most skeptical that cohesion is the
necessary element to maximum accomp-
lishments.
There were many who prophesied fail
ure on the part o. government officials
to bring about cooperative effort in
tae various branches and lines Of in
dustry. This they were able to do,
however, by impresing upon leaders of
the different industries that it was abb
solutely necessary for all to work to-
gether.
The condition of the town and COM
munity in which you live should be
of much concern to you, as your indivi,
dual welfare is directly affected.
To make of your village town, of
your town city, you and others resid-
ing in the community must join hands
in those undertakings designed to pro-
mote local business. Also you must
refrain from those practices which tend
to impede or destroy local progress and
prosperity.
Home trading is one Of the great.
est boons to local prosperity, whereas
foreign buying exerts a most destroy

An Old Mans Stomach.

As we grow older and less active,
less and less food is required to meet
the demands of our bodies. If too much
is habitually taken, the stomach will
rebel. When a man reaches the ad-
vanced Of IS or 80, you will find
that he is lighter eater. Be as
careful as you will, however, you
will occasionally eat more than
you should and will feel the need of
Chamberlain Tablets to correct the
disorder. These tablets do not contain
pepsin, but strengthen the stomach
and enable it to perform it's functions
naturally. Uaey also cause a gentle
movement Of the bowels. Obtainable

white broadcloth. Simple, yes, but alb
solutely charming and appropriate for
any occasion when one wishes to be
particularly well-dressed. The sleeves
are long and tight, and the belt does
not define the figure, but carries out
the straight silhouette. The skirt is
longer than one is accustomed to see,
but this instep length is new feature
in the winter fashions. y

HENS, Even and Uneven
Quite a good deal Of interest is being
conferred in the hem. II is often quite
wide, nine or ten inches, and can be
beaded embroidered or braided, or lef.
plain as the occasion demands. One OF
the most attractive dresses have see-
lately was simple affair of rose Geor
gette crepe, with O ten-inch hem, hea
ed by four rows of hemstitching in tn,
same color. There was a Gothic tow Il
design on the waist in hemstitehing
and the surplice collar and long full
sleeves were picot-edged.
The uneven hem is found on som,
very smart frocks. Very long on ont
side, the skirt is either draped in t.,
back, bustle-wise or on one hip. Tia,
hem is then faced back with some col
trasting color, and the result is charm,
ing. TUNES, too, have these unevc
hens. Some are short on both sides a.
longer in tle front and the back, othe
being just the other way, longer on tn
sides than in the front and back.

Collars are being much elaborated OF
