Strengthen Business
Beveridge Urges at
New York Chamber

New York, Nov. 1.-THE supreme
need and duty OF the hour is to
strengthen business; for upon active
and wholesome business depends the
well being of all the people, former
United States Senator Albert ]. Bev-
eridge of Indiana told the New York
State Chamber of Commerce at its
annual banquet tonight.
1.-THE present depression Is not a
transient economic phase due to an
unhappy state of mind on the part of
business men or the people generally;
and it is not to be improved by the
methods of college cheer leaders at
football games" Mr.. Beveridge said.
ION the contrary, those inflationists
OF hope who tell us that prosperity is
just around the corner when it is not
= there but far away, do not help but
. positively hurt business.
"They SOW broadcast dragons teeth
of distrust For when the people go
around the corner and fail to
find the promised prosperity.
but are again told that it
is around the next corner and again
fail-when this process is repeated
three or four times, the people lose
confidence. Faith is killed by disap-
pointment.
''Now is the time for plain speaking
by men who have graduated from
ambition. Let us frankly know the
worst at once. We have been rather
fed up on the glad hand we need.
instead, a period of brass tacks.'
zone of the immediate causes Of
2 the creeping paralysis from which
business is suffering is the plight of
the railroads.
To-day railway rates are Cypress
i've. railway facilities inadequate,
railway employees dissatisfied and
rebellious, railway equipment i'm
paired. railway capital reduced and
imperilled. Until these conditions
are bettered, all forecasts of good
times are the mere matter of politi-
clans, the crafty wiles of men who
have axes to grind. or the senseless
incoherencies of pipe dreamers.

LEMON IN YOUR TEA?

A great many people prefer to drink
tea with a slice of lemon in place Of
cream. Probably very few are aware
Of the origin Of the custom.
In the fourth or fifth centuries, tea
was a favorite beverage in China.
The leaves were steamed, crushed
in a mortar, made into cake, and
boiled together with rice, ginger,
salt. orange peel, spices, milk and
sometimes with lemon!
Whether you prefer your tea with
or without either lemon or cream,
you want the best tea obtainable.
Say "LIPTON'S Yellow Label"
to your grocer = and you'll got it.
LIPTON'S Yellow Label is not
alone Lipton's Best. it is the finest
tea the world produces-and costs
no more than ordinary grades.
Ask your grocer for Lipton's
Yellow Label Tea. If he
does not sell il, send US his
name and address and We will
mail you a FREE sample
and Give you tho name of
grocer who can supply you.
