POWER OF THE CONSUMER
The Great Factor in Economic Con
ditions, Says Hev. Dr. William
Kerby, of Washington, in Lecture
in Knights of Columbus Course.
. In 11 lecture which he prepurcd, but
which wits delivered hist night in St.
Ros-e hall by Prof. Charles Xelll of
Washington, L. C Rev. Dr. William
Kerby, of the University of Washing
ton, nlllrmcd that In the great prob
lem of labor the consumer was the
Brent factor. In his hands Is the pow
er to better social conditions. He has
the rower, also, from an economic
standpoint to control the production of
commodities and, by the ethical law,
the, responsibility rests on him to regu
loto the conditions and correct the
evils of the economic system of the
clay.
Another significant thought in Dr.
Kerby'H lecture was his directing at
tention to the union label as one of
the opportunities of the consumer to
regulate the conditions and remove the
evils spoken of. Ho did not advocate
for the union label, but he took the
stand that it was the epitome of labor
philosophy and stood for the unions
conception of the means to bring about
the betterment of social conditions. He
nlso pointed out as another opportun
ity, the consumers' league whlch-ls na
tional in numbers. This league stands
for the betterment of the physical nnd
social conditions of clerks, particularly
female clerks. It stood for equal wages
for equal value In services, regardless
If women were concerned. It had a
white list on which all stores were
placed which agreed to these condi
tions; it pledged itself to patronize
these white stores: but It did not have
any list and said nothing against
stores which would not make the con
cessions asked for In behalf of their
help; It did nothing that would lay
them liable to the laws against con
spiracy. In pointing out what a fac
tor, what a power was the consumer,
Dr. Kerby showed that It ,wus the
wnnts of the consumer that regulated
production; it Is ills wishes which aiv
sought and consulted by the best pur
veyors of trade. The Indifference or
the laxity of the people was such that
they sought cheap goods; cheap In
quality. Quantity appeared to be the
desideratum. There was no time tak
en to consider under what conditions
, the goods were made; sweat shop, pris
on, or otherwise. The desire was
cheapness. This desire, this aim for
cheap goods, regardless of the condi
tions under which they were produced
was what wns responsible for most of
the ovils of the. economic system. The
power, therefore, it is to be .seen, lies
, In the consumer to correct or control
the conditions of production. Ho then
pointed out the opportunities of thu
aonHumer and in doing so presented the
. thought of the union label and the
consumers' league.
Professor Xelll, who was Dr. Kerby'H
representative, had n deeply Interested
audience, but thought It was not us
largo as tho subject deserved. Dr.
, Kerby was prevented from attending
by the sudden death of his sister.

Heal estate and financial circles of
the town' were deeply Interested yes
terday In the announcement that Cnr
bondule Is lo "have n new ofllco build
ing, a modern structure, with all the
embellishments to make It a most cred
itable addition to tho rlty, and a good
reminder that the spirit of 'progress Is
quickening among the enterprising. In
fluential cltlzenr.
Tho building will bo erected by tho
firm of J. U. Shannon & Co. The site
will be on North Main street, adjoin
ing Hotel American. It will be a worthy
companion of this splendid stone struc
ture. Jlrick, with a red stone front,
stone Just like tho material In Trinity
church, will malso up the building. The
first lloor will be for odlce purposes. On
the second floor there will be a sulto of
ottlces and living apartments for one
tenant. The top lloor will be one of the'
modern Hats, which are so much In
vogue In the larger cities. All conveni
ences, such as steam heat, etc., will be
found on , this lloor. Tho building
throughout will have all tho finish and
adornment that mark the modern olllcc
building. Throughout, the structure will
embody all the latest ideas and con
celts of the olllcc-buildlng architect.
The building will be 23x75 feet. To
make "room for It, it will be necessary
to remove the olllces of Dr. Andrew
Xlles. The residence of tills physician,
which adjoins, will not be removed,
though changes will be necessary in
order to accommodate the new build
ing. Tenants have already been secured
for the greater part of the building.
The first, or ground, lloor will be occu
pied by J. 13. nussell & Co.. dealers In
stocks, and also owners of the Lacka
wanna Valley Kleclrlo Light and Power
Supply company, which Is the name of
the local electric llcht concern. The
plans comprehend for this company a
suite of olllces, a display room and a
repair and stock room. The oinces will
be occupied by 'William Clark, the local
manager, and Superintendent Thomas
G. Coughlin. There will also bo a pri
vate olllce for .1. 3!. r.ussell.
The electric light company will have
sufllcient spaco for a display room for
Its electrical fixtures and appliances,
which have been appreciably increased
and which -will bo conspicuous features
of its business, by the time the building
is ready for occupancy. The supply
and stock room will be at the rear.
The purpose of Shannon & Co. to
erect this splendid building speaks well
for their enterprise, and Its Inlluence
is bound to be felt In the community.
"Work on the building will probably be
commenced within a week-.

"Dear Jiiis. Pixicn.ui: I have never hi my life given what you
Would call a testimonial before, but you have done f;o much for me thnt
I feel called upon to give you tliiii unsolicited acknowledgement of the
wonderful curative value of Lydia E. l-Mnklmm'o Vo-retnlilo Com
pound. For eight long years I had female trouble, falling of 1 he womb
and other convolications. Durintr that time I was more or less of an
l invalid and not, much i?ood for anything. Four years ago I noticed a,
book m the hall telling ot the cures you could periovm. i read lb and
became interested, I bought abottlo of tTydiis. E. Piulcham'si Vegetable
Compound and was helped, and decided to iu-o it for a year, but seven
months suliieed to cure me, and since that time I have simply had per
fect health. Thanks, dearth's. Pinkham again, health suck as I now
enjoy is worth all I hat and more." Mr.s. Jaxxir O'Donijell, 1273 East

Surely such endorsement should disnol do;ibt from tnc minds
of all licsitntitifr women. After reading such a letter, it any
woman is willim to remain sick, wo cun only say it is Iier own

REWARD OF MERIT,
A Now Catarrh Cure Secures Nation
al Popularity in Less Than One
Year.
Throughout a great nation of eighty
million It Is a desperate struggle lo
secure oven a recognition for a new
article to sny nothing of Achieving
popular favor, and yet within ono'yonf
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets, tho now cat
arrh cure, has met with such success
that today it can be found In every
drug store throughout the United
States and Canada.
To bo sure u largo amount of ad
vertising was necessary In tho first In
stance to bring the remedy to the, at
tention of the public, but everyone fa
miliar with tho subject known that
advertising alone never made' nny ar
ticle permanently successful. It must '
havo in addition absolute, undeniable
merit, and this tho new catarrh cure
certainly possesses In a marked de
gree. Physicians, who formerly depended
upon Inhalers, sprays and local washes
or ointments now use Stuart's Catarrh
Tablets because, ua one of the most
prominent stated, these tablets contain
In pleasant, convenient form all the
really efllcient catarrh remedies, such .
as red gum, blood root and similar an- V
tiseptics.
They contain no cocaine nor opiate,
and are given to little children with
entire safety and benefit.
Dr. J. J. Reltiger, of Covington, Ky'.,
says: "I suffered from catarrh In ,riiy
head and throat every fail, with stop
page of the nose and irritation n the
throat affecting my voice nnd often
extending to tho stomach, causing ca
tarrh of the stomach. I bought a flfty
cont pdekage of Stuart's Catarrh Tab
lets at my druggist's, carried them In
my pocket and used them faithfully,
and the way In which they cleared my
head and throat was certulnly remark
able. I had no catarrh last winter
and spring and consider myself entire
ly free from any catarrhal trouble."
Mrs. Jerome Ellison, of Wheeling, W.
Va., writes: "I suffered from catarrh
nearly my whole llfo und last winter
my two children also suffered from
catarrhal colds aiid sore throat so
much they were out of school a large
portion of the winter. My brother who
was cured Of catarrhal deafness by us
ing Stuart's Catarrh Tablets urged mo
to try them so much that I did so and
am truly thankful for what they have
done for myself and my children. I
always keep a box ot the tablets in
the house and at the first appearance
of a cold or sore throat we nip It In
the bud and catarrh Is no longer a
household aflllotlon with us."
Pull sized packages of Stuart's Ca
tarrh Tablets are sold for fifty cents
at all druggists.
Send for book on cause and cure of
catarrh mailed free. Address, F. A.
