were addressed cither to Colonel K. M.
Houbc, whom, in n letter to Sir Edward
Grey, he described ns "the silent part-'

Wilson himself. Ambassador Page set
forth the concern nnd amazement of
the British at Congress' netlon in vio
latlng the specific nnd solemn agreement
of the Hny-Piiuncefotc treaty, by ex
empting American coastwise vessels
from the canni tolls. In grent dctnil
he depicted the lowering of Ameiii'n's

an a resu't of her "breach of faith" In
this respect, nnd the embarrassments
which he encountered in his diplomatic
experiences in consequence.

Muslin That Has Stood the Test of Years
Since our grandmothers filled their wedding
chests with muslin articles made from Fruit
of the Loom, there has been no chance in its
manufacture, excepting to improve it.
Fruit of the Loom has been proving its de
pendability for over seventy years It wean
splendidly, is easy to sew on, and does not
lose its whiteness or fine, smooth finish though
laundered again and again
You will have itist the same satisfaction and
pleasure in making up this material as have two
generations before you.

But while your grandmother used Fruit of
the Loom, she could buy it only by the yard
or bolt. You, however, can buy it not only by
the yard, for your own sewing, but you can get
articles ready-made of Fruit of the Loom.
Several of the leading manufacturers of sheets,
pillow cases, pajamas, nightshirts, men's and
boys' shirts, etc. , are using Fruit of the Loom
and putting in die label so you can identify it.
Ask for Fruit of the Loom by name (all
stores know it) and look for the label.
