Financial Loss Due to Colds.

It is estimated that the average
man loses three days time each year
from inability to work on account of
having cold. Much of this loss can
be avoided by treating every cold as
son as the first symptoms of the dis
ease appear. Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy has won a wide reputation
and immense sale by its cures of this
disease. Try it. You are certain to be
pleased with it's pleasant taste and
the prompt relief which it affords.

MOST persons, am convinced, learn
most by absorption and by com
parison. The child reared in an atmos-
phere Of refinement will, without doubt,
speak more correctly and deport himself
more becomingly than the child of equal
public educational advantages who lives
in an environment where ignorance of
correct English results in lingo some
times unkindly referred to as the
American language.
Teach a child from its infancy to un-
derstand and appreciate the beautiful
In all things and he will unconsciously
discard the unbeautiful seemingly by
instinct. The child early learns to
make quick comparisons and will in
varisbly choose the beautiful rather
than the ugly, common or tawdry.
Aud education by absorption and COM
parison goes on all through life. We
are ever children in our habit of giving
by our actions and our words positive
evidence Of the environment in which
We live.
How essential it is that we should
strive always to live in the right en-
vironment; how necessary that we
should be able to see all the beautiful
In all things, that We may keep clear
Of the ugly. And it is with this thought
in mind that am presenting to you
today some lovely, new French dresses,
beautiful in line and detail; smart, yet
dignifed; simple, yet elegant; models
that should influence the clothes to
come both of French and American ori-
gin and make for a season of beautiful
Ino1es.
When you absorb the beauty of the
best of French clothes you are able to
discard the freak fashions of French
origin that unfortunately are always
too extensively exploited, and that Gre
ate in the minds of many folks the idea
hat Paris presents nothing but the ex
treme in fashion-things that are gro
tesdue rather than beautiful.
Even though we may not be able q
buy French clothes, to see them and
study them, to know what qualities are
necessary for real beauty in clothe.

preference, which can hardly be ac-
cepted as a guide.
Color, you know, really affects our
emotions rather than our reason; and
you need reason when you select clothes.
And now for description of the mod
els illustrated.
This charmingly dignifed dress by
Agnes portrays the trend in drapery
that is now assured as a prevailing
mode for autumn. The materials, too,
arc representative of the smartest and
best in new fashions: navy blue meteor
is combined with flesh -colored chiffon
that is enhanced by an aIl-over EN-
broidery motif done in canary yellow
rafhs; and this same embroidery is
employed to outline the draped skirt
where it joins the bodice section.
From Paquin comes the interesting
model that illustrates still another
trend in autumn dress modes-an
elaborately embroidered bodice and
new type of paneled skirt. The dress
material is black satin, the embroidery
is in mauve and tan-evidence of
fashions acceptance of these as fac
tors in new modes, besides which the
neck outline and sleeves are quite in
accord with the latest and best in
women's apparel.
Once more navy, with black a close
second, prevails in cloth street dresses
for early autumn, the dresses one
wears with no other wrap but small
furs.
japanese prints in soft brocades have
been cleverly converted into blouses on
the accepted overblouse order. MANY
of these are devoid of belts or ,yirdles
of any kind and are designed to hang
straight from the shoulder in true
Oriental style.
The redingote and many designs
showing this influence are being pre-
sented and as usual are decidedly smar,
and dignlted and particularly desir-
able for figure bordering on plump
ness, where the chemise type of dress
is not acceptable.
Cape coats for autumn are appar-
emily the result of the last seasons

TRENTON, N. J., March 2.-The New Jersey senate late tonight passed, 12 to g, the compromise beer bill pro viding for manufacturing, selling and transporting of beverages containing not more than 31a per cent alcohol by volume. The bill would not become effective until after peace has been of ficially proclaimed.
 The measure went through the sen ate after reference had been made to the state senate in 1863 condemning President Lincoln for his emancipa tion of the slaves; after it had been stated New Jersey would become a traitor to a great cause; and after the Anti Saloon league had been eXcoriated for it's lobbying in antagonism to a move to have the beer law in the state so that the attorney general could fight for staterightS on the question before the United States supreme court.
 With galleries jammed and floors of the chamber packed, the debate surged along until Senator Simpson brought applause by declaring it was up to the legislature to act on the concurrent powers vested in it on the liquor ques- tion, by the Volstead act.
 Governor Edwards is expected to sign the bill tomorrow.

STATEMENT MADE BY ATTORNEY GENERAL
 ON SALARY MATTER

Attorney General Jones. who has been i'll at St. Joseph's' hospital for several days, was allowed to return to his room yesterday. but his physician has forbidden his attention to the du- ties of his office and does not allow him to see visitors. But there was one mat ter concerning which the attorney gen eral expressed himself yesterday-the story printed by The Republican that he was to be questioned by the gov ernor regarding the salaries of his of flee.
 On that the attorney general said:
 There is nothing to explain, as the article in The Republican states that one of my assistants is paid from the funds of the state tax commission, and another from the funds of the state corporation commission.' My depart ment will keep we'll within it's appro- priations, and will have a balance to pay into the emergency fund at the end of each fiscal year, 1920 and 1921.
 The whole matter evidently has arisen from the wrath of a certain Phoenix attorney who was disappointed in his unsuccessful effort to secure fees from the state treasury. and whose present frame of mind has thus been so plainly manifested"

FOR CITY
 ID TAKE TRACTION
 LINES GROW LONGER

The campaign of NJ. J. Morley for interesting the city commission in the matter of Investigating with view of taking over the property of the Phoenix Street Railway company is proceeding. The petitions to the com mission now contain about 5000 names and it is expected within a week 10 add 1000.
 The chief interest of MT. Morley in the matter lies in the construction of a road to the Morley park and through Acre City and that thickly settled neighborhood along the Tempe road. That neighborhood, said MT. Morley yesterday, is building up at the ex- pense of Phoenix. The business of that district should be transacted in Phoenix and the citizens would rather so transact it if there was any con- venient way to reach the city.
 But as there is not, the people out there are building, out of necessity town of their own. There are already in the immediate vicinity two grocery stores and a meat market. A new building in course of construction will house a bank
 Such line will be the more needed. Mir. Morley pointed out, when the packing plant employing several hun dred men, has been completed. If those employees cannot have easy ac- cess to the plant from Phoenix they will establish homes in that vicinity.
