HERE'S REASON FIG LEAVES
ARE COMING STYLE!

New York, Nov. 22.-Your winter
suit and overcoat cost three times as
much as those you bought in 1914 and
following are some of the reasons:
Pocketnlakers are getting $40; cut
ters, $56; bushelmen, $50; basters,
S55, and women finishers, $45 for a
five day week of forty-four hours.
In 1914 pocketmakers received $25,
cutters from $1s to $2s, bushelmen
SIP to 500, basters SIS, and women
finishers about $12 for six day
week Of sixty hours.
Good wool cloth cost $4.25 a yard
in 1914. Inferior material, two ounces
lighter per yard, is quoted at $5.85 to-
day.
Rents for factories have increased
in some cases 100 per cent. Retailers
costs have kept pace.
These reasons for the tripled price
of ready made suits and overcoats
were given today by A. T. Hurowitz,
superintendent of leading clothing
factory. He said that within a month
the manufacturers will be compelled
to "see" new raise to all hands of
Is per cent of the present scale and a
simultaneous reduction of the work
ing week to forty hours.

POOL HALL YoTED DOWN.

There was little election in town
last Friday afternoon to settle the
question of pool hall or no pool hall.
The result was quite decisive. 122
voted yes, and 175 voted no. The
town council will have no trouble in
getting at the sentiment of the town
in regard to this matter either as
practically the, full. votessyas polled.

POLITICS A RASCAL,

The greatest rascal in the United
States is Politics. 1t makes no pre-
tense of being honest or efficient.
Washington is becoming as impu-
dent and as hard task master as
any czar, or the ruling family in Eu-
rope. This is not idle denunciation;
it is the truth, and you know it. Taxes
are becoming frightful; a menace to
the prosperity of the country. And
the money raised by insolent taxation
IS largely wasted or stolen. 1t has
been proved thousand times; and
one party is as bad as another.

A new system of hunting rabbits is,
now in vogue hereabouts. One fellow
drives the car while another sits on
the hood with shotgun. The gun
is equipped with search light and
this blinds the rabbit SO he runs
straight down the read. Some good
bags have resulted from this method.

NOTHING ELSE EVER HELPED
HER.
Milwaukee Woman Says She Wasted
$500 On Various Medicines.

Honestly a few bottles of Tanlae
has done me more good than Other
treatments and medicines that have
cost me $780," said Mrs. E. F. VALID
hier, living at 1912 Wall ST., Milwau-
kee, Wis, the other day.
"This may sound like very broad
statement" continued Mrs. VALID
hier, "but it is so, for never got the
least benefit from all the other medi-
cines l took, and after taking Tanlac
l feel like new woman" Continu-
ing she said:
Il have suffered with stomach trou-
BILE more or less all my life. had a
poor appetite and could scarcely eat
thing without it nearly killing me,
and especially for the last few months
when l could eat only the lightest
food. Everything l did manage to
eat would sour on my stomach and
gas would form and would be bloat-
ed something awful. The gas would
press up against my heart so l could
hardly breathe and l would feel like
l was choking. never knew what it
was to be without headache, and |
had severe pains almost continually
in my right side and shoulders.
lost SO much weight | was scarcely
more than frame, and was so weak
l could hardly do my house work.
was SO nervous could sleep but very
little at night, and would get up in
the morning completely worn out.
II saw in the newspapers where
Tanlac had been of such benefit to
others whose condition was described
as being similar to mine, SO / con-
cluded to try it. Well, it surely was
what / needed, for after taking only
four bottles my stomach is all right
and l have such fine appetite eat
anything / want and l never suffer
the least bit afterwards. l am not
bothered with gas or bloating any
more and the smothering and chok-
ing spells have disappeared. l have
not had the headache since l began
taking Tanlac, and the pain in my
side and shoulders are things of the
past. My nerves are in fine condition,
and sleep all night long without
waking up once, and get up in the
mornings feeling refreshed. In fact,
! never felt as well before in my life,
and | will never miss chance tp say
a good word for Tanlas. "
Tanlac is sold in Missouri Valley by
R. w. Harvey; in Mondamin by H. A.
Scarr; in Logan by Jos. Canty, and
in Dunlap by E. S. Satterlee.

R. R. MEN DIVORCE MICH.

Statistics recently compiled by two
great eastern trunk lines show that rs
per cent of the divorces granted in
the United States the past year have
been given to railroad men or the
wives of railroad men, with the big
side of the score in favor Of the train
men. In most of the cases faithless-
ness was the cause with the age old
triangle playing a big part also. In
most of the cases the men have been
the applicants for divorce and in al
most half of the trials on two eastern
lines the women filed counter charges.
Exchange.
Strong organizations should be per-
fected of producers and still other
strong organizations Of consumers,
and when that is done the producers
league and the consumers league can
get together and give the robbing

was.
