The Man of Small Means is Fashionable

lnc Midi III Cflldll lucdllS IS fashionable
People used to think that when a suit
got scufed or threadbare, or when the
coat collar got soiled and faded, they
had to have new suit But our DRY
CLEANING process developed to such
perfection during the war, makes an old
suit like new; makes the goods soft
again, makes the color uniform again,
and threadbare places show less What
has been said of suits applies equally to
skirts, hats, gloves and many other
things.
When the sweat band of your hat
smells sour it is time to have the hat
dry cleaned You don't have to soak
your head in sour headgear.
When there is sour odor at the armpits
of your coat, it is time to have the coat
cleaned. A soiled coat soils your linen.

derlip and Schwab have realized and havc said, that the time is at hand when the workingman, whether he works with his hands or his brain, is the only man who really counts. :
 The men who work with brain have done their full share with those who give their Drawn. There have been, of course, few employers who have refused to move forward, and who have closed their eyes to the trend of the times. There was, for example, the man who asserted his right to burn his factory rather than let the Nation or the workman have anything to say about it's operation. There was also the large New Eng land firm which, by its autocratic methods of dealing with the help forced the Nation to act in it's ow1 behalf. But such employers are as rare as the Irresponsible agitator The old type of business man who considered his own interests agains the world has seen his day and vii never return.

PLAN TO RETAIN OFFICERS WHO
 SHOW ABILITY
First of 160,000 Will Be Those Anxious to Sever
 Connections.

Washington; Nov. 19.--Steps to re- tain permanently in the army offi- cers commissioned from civil life, who have displayed marked ability in the service, are being considered by the general staff. Plans for the demobil- ization of officers, it was learned to- day, are being shaped with this end in view.
 The first of the approximately l6O,- 900 men in the officers corps released will be those who are anxious to sever completely their connection with mill tary life and return to their former civil occupations. Applications from these men for release, officials said, will be given first consideration and will be acted upon promptly.
 Consideration, it was said, next will be given to applications from officers who wish to return to civil life, but to retain their status as reserve officers, subject to call for period of years. General staff officials believe that "a large portion will follow this course, thereby giving the United States an adequate supply of competent reserve officers for the first time in history.
 In passing officers back in the in- active reserve list, care will be taken to hold to the last officers who desire to apply for commissions in the regu- lar establishment, and whose records show them to be fitted for regular ar my life.
