LUXURY OF CLOTHING
FOR MEN STRESSED
Emphasizing Correctness of Funda-
mentals in Advertising Asked
Rather Than Passing Style.

BY the Associated Press.
PHILADELPHIA, September "a
R.-The love of luxury should be
the target of clothiers' advertising if
retailers of mems apparel would
realize their largest prosperity, the
National Association of Retail Cloth
iers and Furnishers was told yester-
day.
Emphasize luxury" declared Will
liam Weinstraub, a member of the as
sociation's style committee, in address
ing the convention here. He pointed
out that the United States contains
one of the largest populations of any
nation and has the highest per capita
wealth. He contrasted' individual
qualification of luxury in this country
to that afforded average Europeans.
Talk luxury said the speaker.
"Why not sell more dress suits and
satisfy the peoples desire for luxury.
The Americans have been terribly
oversold on style and undersold on
correctness Of dress. 1t is more impor-
tant to wear a full dress suit in the
presence of women than it is to have
the right lapel on any other suit; the
fundamentals are more important
than the details of dress. Styles come
and go in a season, but correctness
of attire never changes"

Thousands of children still
suffer this needless misery

ALMOST all grown-ups can remember how
disagreeable was the ordeal Of taking castor
oil. The very words sounded like threat.
Yet today, when science has made the hate
full gagging and choking unnecessary, thou
sands of children still undergo this needless
misery because their parents do not know that
a tasteless castor oil may be had.
Squbbs Castor Oil is tasteless and odor-
less. While it's efficacy is of the highest, it
is truly easy to take. You can give it to
youngsters - and to grown-ups - without
hearing word of complaint.
Squibb's Tasteless Castor Oil has another
great advantage. 1t will not turn rancid.
Squibb special processes prevent that. You
can keep it indefinitely in your medicine cab
met Insist on Squibb's Tasteless next time
you buy castor oil. You'll find it worth while.
Whether it is castor oil or any other house
hold product which you require, you will find
it always pays to specify "Squibb.' Squibb
Products have definite points of superiority
and you know you can rely unquestionably on
the purity and quality of any product backed
by that name. All reliable druggists sell them.

try short distance. 1t was neces-
sary on one or two occasions to sup

Fire Causes Much
Damage to Harris
Co. Baking Plant

Fire which broke out yesterday
morning at about 1880 o'clock caused
considerable damage to the Harris
Baking Company's plant on North
street and but for the prompt action
OF the fire department in responding
to the alarm. the loss might have
been far greater than it was. The
cause Of the blaze was attributed to
the building of a new fire in one of
the large bread ovens in the base
ment. The loss, amounting to sever
al hundred dollars, covered by insur-
ance. was for the most part confined
to materials used in the manufacture
OF the company's products, much
flour being among the stock destroy
ed. Smoke and water caused more
damage by far than flames, and Mr..
Harris stated that had it not been
for the good Judgment of the flremen
his entire stock might have been de-
stroyed.
Business at the plant will not be
suspended for a moment, as work

the fire was extinguished cleaning up

Governor Pinchot, voluntarily, a
year ago, to revise the election laws
and, when the extra session of the
legislature early this year failed to
pass bills submitted, by it, Governor
Pinchot called upon the committee
to make further suggestions for con-
sideration.
The report advocated mandatory
opening of ballot baxes, restriction
Of assistance of voters, use Of vot-
ing machines and. permanent regis
tration as ''vitally essential to clean
elections in Pennsylvania" and said
it believed in the adoption Of con-
stitutional amendments to abolish
tax qualifications for voters and give
courts the right to appoint overseers
of election from outside the district
in which they serve.
\ The committee submitted the
draft Of a proposed new primary
corrupt practices act, which besides
limiting expenditures of candidates
would substitute one agent for vol
unteer committees to handle money
contributed for campaign purposes;
would prohibit expenditures for the
dissemination Of information to
the public for the employment Of
watchers at the polls to the number
allowed by law and for the trans
portation of voters to and from the

for "rental of radio facilities"
The proposed act also would limit
candidates personal expenses to
5000, any added personal expenses
to be paid by the agents; provide for
all, contributions and payment of
expenses in excess of five dollars by
check; limit expenditures for a
group Of candidates to the largest
amount which. under the act, might
be spent for any individual candi-
date in the group; require the
