The Key That UnlOcks the Door TO
Long Living

The men of eight-five and ninety
years of age are not the rotund, we'll
fed, but thin, spare men, who live on a
slender diet. Be as careful as he will,
however, a man past middle age will
occasionally eat too much OF of some
article of food not suited to his consti-
tuition, causing indigestion or constipa-
ton and will need a dose of Chamber
lain's Tablets to move his bowels and
invigorate his stomach. When this is
done, there is no reason why the aver
age man should not live to ripe old

Somewhat Bioodthirsty.
In this drama there are well.mean-
ing people who set out to kill one an
other for reasons that seem sound to
them. 1t happens that the little viii
lage in which the action takes place
Is isolated, and fed by only one branch
railroad, so that it occurs TO the strik-
ers that they can cut off food, prevent
strikebreakers from coming in, and by
starvation Of everyl ~" except the
union families win a oNAplete victory.
What they are goin } do with the
victory when they Wa It is another
matter that they do not think so much
about. They will get all their de-
mands, they will demonstrate their
power, and then everything will run
smoothly for the laboring class.
TWO labor leaders come down from
London to take part in the crisis. One
Ia mere fighter, with no idea except
TO defeat the other side. His principal
role Is to foment distrust of any kind
of negotiation, either with capital or
with the Government agencies, on the
ground that as he is less clever the
workingman always loses by negotia-
tion.
The othere leader has spent a life
time In the work. He is distrusted by
the more violent and angry element,
but he Is convinced that labor never
gains by defying public sympathy, and
that the right road to progress, the
only road, Is the slow road of negotia-

Complications come, her life Is endan-
gered, and so is the life OF the baby.
Only a highly dangerous operation can
save either OF them.
The nerve of the husband and father
gives way and he pleads for medical
help. The ranks OF the doctors also
break. The ones who break down the
stubbornness of the doctors are the
father OF the young man who has been
killed, himself a doctor, and the
widow OF the young man, who feels
for her human sister in distress and
in her own desolation thinks OF the
Carpenter OF Galilee.
The play puts forth no theory. IL
does not attempt to prove anything.
IL does not weigh the relative rights
and wrongs of capital and labor.
What il does is TO present n pic
ture of war and TO show a sad and
kindly skepticism about the realty
of gains brought about by the methods
of war. A sentence here and there
hints that the war OF 1914 did not ac-
complish much that II promised.
In the same way 1t leaves the spec
tator feeling that the warlike speeches
on the two sides of the industrial war
have more sound and fury than they
have of wholesome sense or lasting
truth.

"Rome was not built in day." Structures that
last are built upon firm foundations deeply laid.
Such construction takes time.
The BERBERICH foundation was deep dug
So years ago. Few people cast their eyes in our d-
rection when the cornerstone" was laid, carved
deep with those characterful words, Courage Cour-
tesy and Character, and ladened with Honest Pur-
pose. But the business thus started attracted the
Washington public The trade that grew through
out the years was heard about in the nnermost
councils of the princes Of the shoe manufacturing
industry. They sought growing whole
sale orders and made inducements for these orders
that eventually grew into proportions that far out
stripped what had been the manufacturers highest
hopes of wholesale selling
Is it. therefore, any wonder that of all the retail
shoe stores throughout the United States, BER
BERICH'S alone were able to interest big manufac-
turers (or rather, at first, single big manufac-
turer) of the possible ultimate benefits from prices
on mems shoes that seemed runous in their loWness
when first put forth by these stores-alone.
That was year ago. The light of that wisdom
spread, and at this time of our 53rd Anniversary
we are able to announce equally as startling
Reduced Price News on womens shoes-a thing
much harder to accomplish owing to the style in
tricaces and greater leather variety etc., that go
to make up women's shoes, necessarily increasing
their cost of production and making more difficult
prices based on material and labor costs aone-for
womans shoe out of style is almost total loss to
the unfortunate retailer having 1t in his possession
