today all old scores are forgotten,

prominence that he occupies today.

BETTER LOOK OUT!

Kidney and bladder troubles don't

Stop your troubles while there is

ease. To avoid future suffering begin
treatment with GOLD MEDAL Haar-

four every day until you feel that you
are entirely free from pain.

CLOTHING MEN TO
DIVIDE PROFITS
AND CHECK PRICE

Chicago, Dec. 11.-Clothing prices
will continue upward next spring,
Charles E. Wry, secretary of the
National Association of Retail
Clothiers, announced today, ex-
planning steps taken by the asso-
citation to assist Attorney General
A. Mitchell Palmer in combating
the high cost of wearing apparel.
The causes Of high prices are be-
yond the control of the retail deal
ers, Wry declared, but members Of
the association are preparing to
hold further price advances to the
minimum, at the sacrifice of their
own profits, he said.
Suits which sold before the war
at $25 and now retail at $50 will
bring $50 or more next spring,
Wry said.
Generalization of the industry,
incident to the army demands for
uniforms during the war, greatly
increased labor costs and shortage
of labor due to the decreased i'm
migration, are responsible, Wry
added. Piece workers in Chicago
clothing factories are earning as
high as $135 weekly, he said
Wage increases since 1914 average
175 per cent, Wry said.
