Whenever I stroll through the
stores and see all the luxurious iml.

plause cards to the concerns that
put it on the market.
They do so much to keep the girls
happy.
No sooner do the swell Joints
show some new diamond ,dodad, that
costs hundreds or thousands Of dol
lars, when out on the counter comes
the same thing made up to deceive
the eye, and costs only cents where
the other costs dollars.
Instead of standing in front Of
the expensive window signing for
an ornament she desires to possess,
the girl with little income can buy
the imitation and wear it with as
much pleasure and pride.
The society dame with the real
stuff often wears too much Of 1t.
She cutters her arms from the
wrist to the elbow with diamond
bracelets. She hangs a dozen
strands of pearls around her neck,
and the result is that her jeWelry
outshines herself.
ShOpgirIs Taste Better.
The little shopgirl, on the other
hand, is smart enough to know that
one imitation diamond bracelet looks
better than ten imitation diamond
bracelets, so she shows better taste
by wearing one.
The dame who has several price
less emerald and ruby rings can't re
sist the desire to wear them all at
once, so that her fortune in Jewels

It's natural for women to want

DIR. Charles A. L. Reed, former

menaces to health.
DIR. Reed advises his readers to
purchase all prepared foods in their

beverages, which are not touched
by human hand from the moment
the bottle enters the mechanical

Re publicans of the state where the party itself was born, are not uneasy about their prospects of victory, state and na- tional, but party leaders agreed that Robert M.

 The Ku Klux Klan has not been an issue, but the anti-parochial school amendment, before the voters for the second time, has been favored openly by the klan.
 A breach in the republican ranks was mended with unqualified indorsement by convention resolution of United States Senator Couzens, and Governor Groes- beck to succeed themselves.

 The fact that Indiana's debt is about $6,0OO, 900 has been charged by the dem. Ocratic campaign men directly to al- lcged extravaganza of the administra- tions of former Governor James P. Goodrich and former Governor Warren T. McCray.
