Special DcspdtcN 10 The SrN.
NEW ORLEANS. Dec. 7.-Predctions
that merchandise prices will remain high
all through 1919 were made by Norman
II. johnson. secretary of the National
Wholesale Dry Goods Association, at a
meeting of wholesale dry goods men

He said that the worldwide demand
will be hard to meet. and because so
much dry goods is needed cotton is due
to rise rapidly in price and probably will
sell at higher than 40 cents a pound.

What Became of sinking Funds.

While large profits were rolling in
during war times many gray goods
factors stated they were putting aside
big sinking funds to cover expenses
which they believed would pile up with
the coming of peace, AS an indication
of how large peace time losses were
expected to be one facto: said he was
putting $1,000.000 into his sinking
fund to cover them.
Recently there has been no mention
made of these sinking funds. and many
who are interested in the market are
inquiling why this is.

Light Fabrics for Men
Here to Stay, Is Belief

THAT there never will be a re-
turn to the heavier fabrics
that went into the making OF
mems winter clothes before the war Is
the belief of many manufacturers.
Not only are the lighter fabrics
more suitable to he made into wen
fitting garments but they are also
better adapted for wear indoors
where the majority of men transact
their business. the manufacturers say.
Also they cost less.

Believe in Diversihed styles.

\ majority of mems tallors seem to
think the proper attitude TO take re-
ga-ding styles since the lifting of the
Government regulations is to let Gus
toners have as free a choice as they
dds before the war. This is contrary
to opinions of some clothing manufac-
turers, who believe they should be
arbters in the matter Of clothes restric-
tions since the Government curtailments
have been taken off.
The new plates for spring which the
tailors are said to be prepared to send
out a,e stated to hint in no way at
style restrictions.

It Is joy and comfort to know that those much talked of pains and other distresses that are said to proceed child bearing may be avoided. No wom- an need fear discomfort if she will fortify herself with the we'll known and time honored remedy. Mothers Friend.
 This is most grateful, penetrating, external application that at once soft ems and makes pliant the abdominal muscles and fragments. By regular use the muscles expand without the usual strain when baby is born and pain and danger at the crisis is consequently less.
 Women everywhere who have used this famous remedy tell how they en- tfrely avoided nervousness, twitching spells. bearing down and stretching pains, and relate how they enjoy entire freedom from the many facilitating and distressing experiences usually incident to approaching motherhood.
 Mothers Friend is recommended only for the relief and comfort of expectant mothers, thousands of whom have used and recommended it. It is for external use only. is absolutely and entirely safe and wonderfully effective.

 It's not uncommon for film at the picture shows to be delayed in transpor- tation many hours, sometimes days, and as for our perfectly good actor folk, well, I can't any more count on an interview than I can count on going to heaven.

 And so, although I have no buddy in tho trenches, and no lord and master whom Secretary Baker has bidden to leave his perfectly good wife and kid- dies and go la -Hun-ing," still, I've @ couple of very nice little reasons for hat ing the Kaiser and wishing he would lay down his mighty scepter and spend few centuries pushing up the daisies"
