comes Ninto power, no girl may APP
pear in the halls Of learning with a
skirt which reaches less than six
inches below the knee.
Back of this election, says The
Cincinnati Times-Star, there is a
story of provincial obstinancy and
feeling which would make an excel
lent plot for a Booth Harrington or
a Sinclair Lewis.
The superintendent of the high
school expelled two 15-year-old girls,
daughters of respectable farmers, for
coming to their classes with too
great an exposure of limb, and too
little an expanse of skirt.
With all the resentment of which
independent Yankee farmers are ca
pable, the fathers of the girls took
the matter into court. Vineland i'm
mediately divided into camps, repre-
scented by the long and the short
skirters.
The courts sustained the fathers,
and incidentally the girls. There
were appeals and demurrers and 9th
er legal technicalities, each of which
raised the heat of the community
still higher. But before the state su-
preme court could act, election time
came around, and on platform of
skirts the electors went to the polls.
The long skirts won, 11S to 90.
But we venture to predict that as
"modesty" cannot be compelled by
an election, as it comes from the
spirit rather than from the modiste,
nothing really has been settled. All
the "long skirters" will be able to
do will be to produce the outward
seeming, leaving the inner girl in her
usual state of rebellion and independ-
ence.
She will continue to trip up and
down Vineland's Main street after
school hours in her short skirts, prob
ably with more defiance than ever.
And so once more the futility of try
ing to remedy morals and modes by
ballots and courts will have been
demonstrated. All that the major
ity voters of Vineland have accom-
plished is to add another flap to the
flapper.-Jacksonvi1le Observer.

Indigestion Forced
Mr.. Sol K. Simon
to a Strict Diet
Severe Headaches and Dizziness
Also Troubled Leading Albany
Citizen-Within Two Days After
Taking Ferraline Could Eat Any
thing.


Mr.. Sol X. Simon, Albany, Georgia,
the largest Mail Order Pecan Man in
the world, has made the following
startling statement:
~ suffered with what the doctor,
called naturalization, or indiges-
ton of the lower bowels. If l ate
anything other than that prescribed
in strict diet, I suffered with Sc
we're headaches and dizziness. Instead
of taking an expensive trip to a
health resort, my brother persuaded
me to visit him, and after each meal
he gave me a dose Of 'Ferraline.' In
two days l was eating anything with
out feeling the slightest discomfort.
l ordered one dozen bottles sent to
my home. / feel one hundred per
cent better and have saved about
5000 by not taking a trip to health
resort as recommended by my ply
sician-thanks to my brother and
'Ferraline.'
This letter is but one selected at
random from the hundreds of testi-
monials in our files. Each letter
tells the same story-the wonderful
tale of returned health.

Chats With Your Gas Man

While other merchants may not care
what you do with an article after you buy it
whether you put it to wasteful use or not
we are greatly interested. We want you
to get the most for your money out of the gas
you use. We want you to make your gas
bills thrift bills.
The reason we desire this is because we
know from business experience that waste
of gas means big bills, complaints, inyeSti-
cations, re-checking, letter writing, delayed
payments and other expenses, which, when
taken together, mean dissatisfied customers.
Satisfied customers are worth more to us
than any revenue derived from wasted gas.
We want no money we do not earn.
We live up to this policy every day and
are glad to aid you in choosing the most
economical gas appliances and tell you how
to avoid waste by using them intelligently.

to be happy solution to the fuel
problem. Recently the state has
been buying few tons at a time
for institutions which are short OF
coal and paid from $3.50 to $500 a
