In buying clothes or anything else this
year, it's good thing to know exactly what
you are getting; the fact that the average
buyer doesn't know good quality from poor
stuff that looks good is often source of great
profit to some merchants
When you see a Hart Schaffner & Marx
label in a garment, you're at once in posses
sion of all the knowledge you need; it tells
you everything; we don't need to say a word.
You know the clothes are all wool,
carefully tailored, that the clothes
viii save because of the long service
you get and that your complete sat
isfactiOn is guaranteed.
We are waiting to serve you.

iIcarer Sugar Necessary.

Naturally, the price of sugar must
to be obtained. The most stringent
rules governing its sale and use will
not avail fully while the price of sug-
ar is so close to normal time quota
tons.
This was found to be the case with
wheat and coal. Regulating. the
sales had to be accompanied by
price-tixing. When the cost was
boosted. consumers became more
economical than under the duress OF
the rules for use alone.
Sugar has been surprisingly cheap,
as compared to most other commo-
dities much in demand since the war
began. Meats and flour and canned
goods and wearing apparel and we'll
nigh everything else used by the
people generally have gone up in
price amazingly. But sugar has not
kept pace with them. Now, 1t is ap-
parent, the government sees the nee,
essity of making sugar dear as we'll
as hard to get.
1t would not be bad idea, more
over, for coffee to be considera bly,
advanced in price by the government
Coffee can be bought as reasonably
today as before the war. The reason
have had to divert the whole world
Shipments to America. and the sup
ply has constantly exceeded the de,
mand. More coffee is being used
than ever before, and as result OF
this fact, more sugar is employed in
the consumption of coffee.
With higher coffee, the consump-
ton would decrease. Then there
would be greater falling off. too, in
the demand for sugar in this coun-
try. The civil war sent coffee sky
rocketing in price. and people back
of the army quit usin~ it-thus eff
fecting economy in both the drink
and it's sweetening. Had both coffee
and sugar been cheap in those days,
the soldiers never would have gotten
any. The government did not ma ke
them dear, but it must do SO in this
new and greater war.

Married Men and the Draft.

The precise status OF married men
under the expanded draft law is
somewhat muddled, owing to con-
fiicting statements by Secretary
Baker. About week ago he SAID
something that. led to the assump,,
tion that marriage in itself would
constitute cause for deferred class
told the house military, committee
invites the belief that there will pc
no change in the war department S
attitude toward married men.
In administering the present law
the department has given deferred
classification on the ground OF de-
tendency and not OF marriage. "A
married man whose wife mad no m
come and could not provide a LIVING IN
for herself has been exempt, the
same as if the dependent were an
ased father or mother instead OF
wife. The main purpose OF the de.
