' Too Much Wages Are a
Damage and Danger to the
One Who Receives Them
With rising priefcs during the war, naturally the
hljrh cost of living necessitated an advance in all
wiges, which was cheerfully granted.
Now we read in the newspapers of a number of
instances where the employes have unwisely '
"struck" and left their places rather than reduce
their wages, notwithstanding the lower selling
prices of food, clothing, furniture and shoes that
arc mamtest.
How can prices ever go down if the United
States Government does not speedily abolish the
special taxes on many articles and on sales prices
and if war wages in production continue to rule?
The buying public for years submitted to high
prices.
Let us all play the game fairly and get prices
down and keep them down.

anywhere.
IT IS BOTH COOLER AND CLEANER THAN GAS. Tho
heat is not disseminated around tho kitchon, but its entiro force
is concentrated in tho cooking. There is no blackening of
kitchen and kettles.
IT IS AN ABSOLUTELY EVEN HEAT. No guesswork
about tho baking. A patented thermometer and chart climinato
all chance element.
THE INSULATED OVEN act3 like a flreless cooker and pre
vents food shrinkage. It continues to cook a full hour after the
current is turned off, and it retains the heat for three hours.

innovation.
Its inventor is now demonstrating its merits here.
Its price is $60 and $78, with a smaller stove at $-10, and

About a Man's
Temperature, His
Common Sense and
His Clothes
Why is it that when a man's temperature
makes him buy a tropical suit his common sense
does not always make him buy the one that is
bound to be the most serviceable and satisfac
tory? The answer is that not all men yet know
that amongst all the unsatisf actory things in the
world an unsatisfactory tropical suit is one of the
worst.
Satisfaction in a tropical suit begins in the
fabric. It is involved in every process of the
making, from the first cutting of the goods to the
last touch of the tailor's hand.
There is no such thing as a good "cheap"
tropical' suit.
There are plenty of good tropical suits at
fair prices. At least we have them in plentiful
selection. They are of the best fabrics, whether
mohair, Palm Beach or tropical worsted, and they
are cut and tailored and finished to fit and serve
as well as it is possible for suits of this kind to do.
Mohair suits in black and white stripes, blue
and white stripes and black self-stripes, $25 and
$30.
Palm Beach suits in .sand, tan, gray and
fancy mixed colors, $20 and $22.50.
Tropical worsted suits, $32 to $40. All

sports coats, $20 ; white flannel and striped flan
nel trousers, $12; white duck trousers, $3.50;
