blue denim overalls to ride in their
eight thousand dollar limousines.
I'VE are in sympathy with any
movement that will help reduce the
high cost Of living and are at all
times ready and anxious to help along
a good cause.
We profit by this movement, as the
publicity and advertising given our
product free by all newspapers of the
country could not be bought for hun
dreds of thousands of dollars. BUT
s'In justice to the man who wears
overalls, not from choice, but from
actual necessity, we cannot cOnscien-
tiously keep silent and profit from a
movement which will have only one
result, and that is that the man who
must wear overalls will be forced to
pay more for them.
THE immutable law of supply and
demand is still in effect. Manufac-
turers of overalls have no control
over this.
Blue denim for the past two years
or so has been the scarcest cloth on
the market. Strange as this may
seem, it is practically impossible to
buy denims today from the denim
mills at any price.
"Overall manufacturers who make
good, serviceable overalls, are
months behind on their orders.
Every pair of overalls bought by a
man who will use them only while
this fad is on, simply leaves one pair
less for the man who has to wear
them.
This fad will not reduce the cost of
clothing. 1t will merely increase the
cost of overalls.'
Requiescat in pace.
The Overall Clubs deserve a place
in history as noteworthy crystalliza-
ton of public sentiment against op-
pressive costs of living, also as note
worthy illustration of the ease with
which public sentiment can be led

When manufacturer Of overalls
says that the overall movement" is
"a mistaken and misguided effort to
reduce the high cost of clothing the
statement should be regarded as the
last word which need be said on the
subject.
It takes courage for a man to talk
against his own interest and it is
doubly hard to spend money to spread
his views broadcast. What such a
man says therefore is double effec-
tive. This extract from a half-page
advertisement in the Cincinnati En-
quirer published by the Crown Over

that city, should be noted with more
than passing interest:

THE TRUTH OF HISTORY.

In the north it is the popular be-
lief that slavery was the principal is
sue at stake in the Confederate war.
This belief is also shared even here
in the south by those who are not
we'll versed in the principles of the
Confederacy. Under the head of 1.-THE
Truth of History" Fannie L. Selph,
of Nashville, Tenn, has presented
some most interesting facts in regard
to this question. ''If this be true
(that the south fought to retain slav-
ery) then the personnel of the two
armies presented a strange specta-
cle,' says the writer, and adds:
General Lee, the great leader of
the Confederate army, freed his
slaves before the war began, while
General Grant, the great federal COM
mander, continued his in bondage un-
til after the war closed"
1t will be news to many southern
ers that Grant was slave holder. 1t
is generally known that Lee had al
ready set his own slaves free; and
therefore he could not have been
personally fighting to retain slavery.
1t is also popular belief that the
proclamation of Abraham Lincoln Of
Jan. 1, 1868, set the slaves free. The
above referred to writer makes it
quite plain that this was not the case.
The south had seeded from the union
under a right guaranteed in the con-
stitution of the United States. There
is no question that the south acted
consitutionally in this matter. When
the emancipation proclamation was
issued in 1868, the government of the
United States had no legal control
whatever over the states that had
left the union. It, therefore, plainly
follows that no proclamation of the
president of the United States could
legally affect an Independent govern
ment such as the Confederate states
was.
It is also to be borne in mind that
the emancipation proclamation did
not affect all the states, but specific
ally designated the states of Arkansas,
Texas, Mississippi, Alabama, Florida
Georgia, South Carolina, North Caro-
lima, and portions of Louisiana, Ten
nesssee and Virginia. In several
states the slaves were not freed until
after the war.
If the traditions of the southern
cause are to be preserved, it is high
time the truth were written into his
tory.

Mexico City, Mex.-Mexican women
are preparing to take a hand in public
affairs. They intend first to attack
social, and industrial evils and late-
to make a fight for political equality.
This is the program of the Mexican
feminist council, a national organiza.
ton with headquarters in Mexico City.
The council does not believe that the
mass of Mexican women are at pres.
ent prepared for complete suffrage but
hopes eventually to make them a vital
political force. The present Mexican
government looks with favor upon
their efforts, according to Senorita
Elena Torres, general secretary of the
council.
The feminist council has organized
groups to teach Mexican wOmen how
their conditions may be improved In.
d%ustrially and socially. The next step,
said Senorita Torres, will be organize.

How to Keep Baby
Smiling and Well
See that the daily functions are regular and normal

you can't expect the little
Y ones to be happy and play
full when the head feels dull
and the stomach bloated. The,
normal habit of children is to be
happy and when you notice them
cross andsfretful you will usually
find constipation is responsible.
Perhaps they have missed that
daily function SO necessary to
comfort and health. Look at the
tongue and see if the breath is
bad. Watch for belching. These
are the tcll-tale symptoms of con-
stipation. Tonight give a little
of DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin,
which you can buy at any, drug
store, and it will act in the morn
ing and the troublesome symp-
toms promptly disappear.
DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is
a combination of simple laxative
herbs with pepsin. Unlike the
harsller physics it acts gently and
without gripping so that while
grownups can use it freely it can
also be given to a tiny baby with
perfect safety. Thousands of

Many Advantages In The
Newspaper Ads

Newspaper advertisements are excellent
agencies making for thrift, economy and
wealth. They are home savings banks,
handy bonkbooks and not ~infrequent]y
proofs against family jars and divorces.
Next to the Bible, says the New York Her.
aid, they are the most important household
guides ever set up.
Agood advertisement is proof Of the pow
err of suggestion and the psychological pot
ency of printers ink mixed with brains. AS
a magnet attracts the needle so a newspa-
per advertisement attracts the reader and
draws the crowd.
Suggestion creates want and want Great
es~ purchasers. There is a direct connection
between the suggestion and the purchase.
The extent of the purchase is in direct ratio
to the power Of the suggestion.
Newspaper advertisements are for the
benefit of the purchaser more than for the
benefit of the advertiser. This may sound
strange but it is true.
That the public hitherto has not realized
it is due to the fact that most persons have
looked at an advertisement az they look at
dry goods and articles of food. The adver-
tisement is not the article but the idea be-
hind it, the guide board that leads to it, the
bridge that safely carries the troubled
householder or weary breadearner to safe
ty.
Trade marks familiarize;; figures vitalize.
Prices tell the story to the prospective pur-
chaser, and prices honestly revealed in fig
ures usually mean good goods, fair profits
and nc profteering. The result is satisfied
customers.
Prices made clear and prominent in an
advertisement prohibit profteering. Prices
openly made are guarantees of a square
deal. Hence the value Of newspaper adver-
Using with plain figures all can read.
Prices in good newspaper advertisements
are measured not by profit but by service.
That is the keynote of the lad" writer-the
song he sings as he builds an attractive adj
vertisement out of facts, figures and genius.
He is society's ~benefactor, the country's
deserving citizen. for he tells the people
where they can save money, and in saving
money assist in saving their nation and the
nations financial and economic honor. The
