6POHN MEDICAL CO..
WILL NOT USE GERMAN DYES
Real Reason Why the Red Trousers
of the French Infantryman
Have Been Discarded.

The red trousers of the French army
are to be no more. There is political
ana economical tragedy about ii with
which very few people are familiar.
The originator of the red trousers was
Napoleon, who wars prompted in his
reform" by desire to help the ma
tive cultivation of madden root against
the Dutch and Italian rivals.
But then came the Graebe-Tieber-
mann discovery of the alizarine dyes.
and in less than ten years. between
1870 and 1878. the production of mad
der root in France shrank from $4,000
to 900 tons, and then it disappeared.
This was great German victory. Nev-
ertheleSs, the army trousers continued
to be dyed red. only this time the dyes
had to be imported from Germany.
1t evidently required q great war to
put an end to this humiliation.
