Should be Guaranteed

Many physicians believe that any
one who has bad cold should be COM
pletely isolated to prevent other mem
bers of the family and associates from
contracting the disease, as colds are
about as catching as measles. One
thing sure-the sooner one rids him
self of a cold the less the danger, and
YOU will look a good while before you
find a better medicine than Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy to aid you in
curing a cold.

up to his death for others, not a trace
of unkindness soilinR his soul, no canker OF
deceit fostering in his brain, with approval for
those who were Just and excuses for those who
were unjust. Expressing no regret at the
coming dissolution, but feebly saying TO the
pastor, 81 am ready 10 bear the cross"

COTTONS-Trade Becoming
Conservative in Giving Credits

Two motives are actuating some of
the leading interests in the cotton
goods trades to act conservatively in
selling goods and extending credits to
their customers. One is the possibility
that the public, which is now buying
goods. sold months ago by wholesalers
at prices below present market levels.
Will curtail its buying when goods sold
at wholesale now Mt an advanced price
reach the retail counter.
The other is the fear that finan-
vial stringency will force many small
Jobbers, manufacturers and retailers
into position where they will be un-
able to meet their bills. SO far the
trend toward conservatism is based
purely upon fear and the knowledge
that one or both of these conditions
may materialize. Present demand for
goods, according to selling agents. CON
verters and others. is as strong as ever,
payments are good and merchandise
is moving rapidly.
Cotton goods appear to be in a
stronger position than either silks or
woolens. The supply of raw cotton in
the world is below normal. while the
worlds amount Of raw wool is large r
than usual. according to avala bl e
statistics. The amount of finished goods
on hand, also appears to be smaller in
the cotton goods trade than in other
branches of the textile industry. With
these facts in mind, the growing con-
servatism among sellers of cotton
goods bears great significance.
New-York tribune., 1919-12-09
LEATHER-Chrisfrnns
Demand Breaks All Records

One of the largest dealers in leather
goods asserted yesterday that the de
mand for articles made of leather for
the Christmas holidays is greater this
year than ever before. 1t is practically
impossible, he said, to satisfy the de-
mands of the American people for all
kinds of fancy goods. Card cases, van
lty boxes, cases for manicuring and
shaving sets, and even leather covered
watch boxes all are meeting with
favor. Manufac turers who had expert
Belgian designers working on special
Christmas styles report that the de-
signs are SO popular with their Gus
toners that the greater part of the
supply has been sold
Retailers report that the Christmas
buying is being done earlier this year
chan usual Large sales of suit cases,
crlef cases, gloves, leather coats and
novelties have been made One re-
taller said that his sales in the last
week have exceeded those Of the entire
mouth of December, 1918. Although
other retailers have not been so for
tunate the majority assert that their
sales for the holiday season will far
exceed those of other years
The cost Of leather goods has ad-
van1ced about 20 per cent over the pre-
cedlng year. This increase is attrib-
uted partly to the shortage of high
grade leather and partly to strikes in
the Industry

SlLkS-Output Of Hose
Falls Far Belo,c Demand

Wholesale sellers Of silk hosiery say
that production has decreased tc such
a point that all balance between sup
ply and demand has been lost and that
III Will take an extraordinary and pro-
tracted curtallment in buying on the
part of the general public to bring the
consumption down to q level with the
quantity that mills are able to turn
out. A big gap also has been made
IN the American hosiery supply by the
lack of imports of foreign made stock
lngs. One concern formerly imported
from Germany fully 40 per cent of the
hosiery it handled Little if any Ger
man made hosiery is coming into this
market now and. although the Japanese
nave made an effort to capture some of
the stocking trade formerly held by
Germany, their progress in this direc-
ton has been slow
Manufacturers have not rectvcrsl
from the four months strike in their
mills this spring. Knitting machinc
operators are scarce and most mills e.
port great labor shortage. Raw silk
and SILK yarns are at higher prices
than ever before and difficult to obtain.
according to manufacturers. In addi-
ton to this the knitting machines are
wearing OUT, with the possibility of re-
pairs or replacement remote.
One OF the biggest delays in knitting
hosiery at present, in the opinion Of
leading manufacturers, is caused by
the breakage of needles. In one
factory where records are kept it was
found that present breakages are about
400 per cent in excess of those of fiva
years ago. Formerly most of the
knitting needles came from Germany

JEWELRY-Ciock Prices
.4dranced 10 to 20 Per Cent

The jewelry trade was notified yes
tercay by several of the large clock
man rutacturers that new price sched-
ule, showing advances of from 10 to
20 per cent, according to the make.
Annourcement was made by watch
manufacturers last Thursday that the
price of high grade watches had been
advanced 5 per cent and the cheape
grades 10 per cent. The increase is
the third to be made this year and
brings the total up to 35 per cent.
This move, according to the manu-
facturers. was made necessary by the
high cost of materials and the large
expenses incurred in breaking in many
new hands at their factories The
workmen. they declare, are restless
ard mary OF them refuse to work more
than three or four days a week. Others
are said to become tired after working =
a few months al one factory and leave
their positions to seek work in other
factories. To overcome this difficulty
many manufacturers are trying to in
duce men from other lines to learn the
clock making trade. To date they have
met with lttle success, as the wages
paid to clock makers are about the
smallest paid to any workmen in the
jewelry industry.
Large orders for clocks are being
refused daily by manufacturers One
of the largest self winding clock COM
panies in the country was forced to
turn down an order for 100 clocks on
