ARTICLE XXI.

To those colonies and territories which as a consequence of the late war have ceased to be under the sov ereignty of the States which formerly governed them, and which are inhab- tied iby peoples not yet able to stand by themselves under the strenuous conditions of the modern world, there should be supplied the principle that the well being and development of such peoples form sacred trust of civilization, and that securities for the performance of this trust should be embodied in this covenant.
 The best method of giving practica- b1e effect to this principle is that the tutelage of such peoples be intrusted

GETTING RID OF COLDS.

The easiest and quickest way to
get rid of a cold is to take Cham
berlain's Cough remedy. This prep
aration has been in use for many
years and it's value fully proven. No
matter what remedy you use, how
ever, care must be taken not to con-
tract a second cold before you have
recovered from the first one, and
there is serious danger of this. A
man of middle age or older should go
to bed and stay in bed until fully
recovered. 1t is better to stay IN
bed three days at the start than
three weeks later on.

DREADFUL COUGH CURED.

A severe cold is often followed by
a rough cough for which Chamber
lain's Cough remedy has proven es-
pecially valuable. Mrs. F. W. Olsen,
Marysville, Mo-, writes: "About two
years ago my little Jean caught a
severe cold and caughed dreadfully
for days. I tried a number of cough
medicines but nothing did him any
good until | gave him Chamberlain's
Cough remedy. 1t relieved his cough
right away and before he had fin
ished taking one bottle he was cured.

THAT TERRIBLE HEADACHE

Do you have periodic attacks of
headache accompanied by sickness of
the stomach or vomiting, a sallow

ness, and you may be able to avoid
these attacks if you observe the d.
rections with each package.

Jewelry
Optical Glass Being Made
in This Country Equal
to Needs

Makers of optical glass in this coun-
try are said to have reached the stage
where they are able to produce lenses
in sufficient quantities to supply the
entire needs Of the domestic trade.
Before the war this class of glass was
virtually all imported, about so per
cent oi it coming from Germany and
the other half from England, where
the largest glass manufacturing plant
in the world is located. Deliveries from
the American plants are said to be
greatly improved, with manufacturers
now open to accept orders for any
amount Of glass.
While it is possible to obtain lenses
promptly, opticians are held back in
their production because of the short
age of skilled labor needed in grinding
the glass. They expect that this con-
dition will rapidly improve. Some man.
ufacturers are said also to be far be-
hind on deliveries Of frames for spec
tacles and eyeglasses
Americans arc moro careful in the
treatment Of their eyes than any other
class OF people, according to local opti-
clans. who declare that larger per-
centage Of the population of the United
States are bespectacled. This. they
say, is not because their eyes are
weaker than those Of any other people,
but ig due simply to the fact that many
persons here wear glasses as a means
OF preventing eye trouble rather than
as remedial measure. The United
States Is said to lead not only In the
manufacture OF eyeglasses and spec
tacles but also In the scientific treat
mcnt and care Of the eyes.

Rubber
Foreign Inquiries for
Mechanical Rub Der
Goods Increasing

Inquiries from foreign countries for
mechanical rubber goods are reported
to be increasing, and it is expected that
substantial orders will soon be received
by American manufacturers. Most Of
the inquiries emanate from the West
Indies, South America and Europe.
The representative of leading man.
ufacturer of rubber goods stated yes
terday that Germany is not likely to
offer much competition for American
high grade rubber products. 1t was
stated that Germany formerly made
cheap goods in the production of which
American concerns have not engaged
on a large scale.
Building construction is beginning
to stimulate trade in air, water and
steam hose. Surgical specialties for
shipment to France and England are
said TO be in brisk demand. Concerns
making toy balloons, it is stated, are
swamped with orders, the most liberal
buyers being manufacturers of food
products and wearing apparel, who will
use them for advertising.
The representative of a Chinese ex-
porter of old rubber was said to be
in the local market offering 10000
tons of old shoes and tires, but it was
intimated that local buyers were not
keen about bidding for the material.

Buyer Says Goods
And Time Are Lost
Through Through Shopping
If Merchandise Is Right Kind
Price Does Not Count in
Placing Orders, Says Head
of New England Store

Buyers now in New York searching
for fall goods, particularly women's
wearing apparel, are not shopping"
as they formerly did, according to the
statement of the local Office mana ger
for large New England store.
when buyer visits 3 manufact-
urer's showroom" he said yesterday,
and sees anything he or she likes it
IS ordered at once, almost regardless
of the price. We have had the expe-
rlence OF trying to shop around among
different manufacturers to find what
we want at the cheapest price, only to
fail to get it at all. By the time we
are through looking at all the differ
ent lines of merchandise and return
to the concerns which we think offer
the best values we are told that the
factory production of the particular
number we want is sold up and no
more orders can be taken. Now, when
we see what we want, we buy it imme-
dlately. 1t is no longer a question of
price, but of the right merchandise at
any price"
Mems Clothing Ordered Early
This man said that he believed mems
clothing for fall, when offered to the
consumer by the retailer, would not
show as sharp price advances as will
women's apparel.
We got into the market for our
mems clothing early" he said. "ard
were able to place our orders at fairly
reasonable prices considering the sit
uatlon, but we could not do it in the
women's apparel lines, and from my
experience in the market the advances
IN women's clothing have been much
greater than in the mems lines. The
women who go into the retail stores
next fall will be shocked at the prices
they will be asked to pay for coats,
suits and dresses. The retailer who
has not yet ordered his fall merchan-
disc will pay even higher prices for it,
as the ms rket is advancing every day.
Only last week | was looking at line
of coats which ran from $40 to $12O,
wholesale. This week the same line
was priced from $50 to $14O, an ad-
vance of from $40 to 500 on each gar
ment.
Salaried Workers Feeling Pinch
Although the sales in our store
have not suffered because of the high
prices and We are actually selling more
garments than ever before, we are ap-
preaching the fall season with a GER
tain amount of fear concerning the
outcome. AS I see it, the laboring
class has been able to keep pace with
rising prices because of the large wage
advances wiven mill workers and 9TH
ers of that type, but the salaried man
is beginning to feel the pinch, and if
prices go much higher he will curtail
his expenditures. The real effect of
the merchandise shortage caused by
the war has not yet been felt by the
ultimate consumer. He will feel it
this fall, and his attitude toward the
unprecedentedly. high prices will de-
termine the future course of prices.
If the general public will not pay the
high prices there will be a recession.
Still, those in charge of our store
policy have not ordered any retrench-
ment in buying as yet. We will have
large stock of fall merchandise, but
We may not be able to sell it at the
price it should bring"
