I Two Reasons Why
QUESTION NO. I—WHY MUST AN UPTOWN STORE SUCH AS OURS SELL
■ CHEAPER THAN A DOWN TOWN STORE?
QUESTION NO. 2—HOW CAN AN UPTOWN STORE SUCH AS OURS SELL
I CHEAPER THAN A DOWN TOWN STORE?
I OUR ANSWER TO QUESTION NO. 1
A furniture store as large as ours must depend upon drawing its trade from all sections
I of a city or district. It can not live upon a business gotten from any single locality. We
I know just as well as any one that our store is situated at a considerable distance from the
I main shopping center and also that the great tendency of people is to shop where nearly
■ all the large stores are located. Hence, we realize that in order to gfct a goodly number of
I people to our store, we must necessarily show a stock of goods at all times equal in every
I way to the down-town stores and also at prices considerably below.
I OUR ANSWER TO QUESTION NO. 2.
In the first place, lower rents and true economy in all other store expenses. No un-
I necessary number of clerks sitting around half the timfe doing nothing. The proprietors
I satisfied with a moderate annual income. In this store the proprietors do all the buying and
I also nearly all the selling. We think this counts for something in the interest of our cus-
I tomers. There are many other reasons that could be given, but visit our store and judge
I for yourself.

WKDKKSPAY EVENING,
INDIGESTION HAS
CAUSED MUCH WAR
Dr. Dixon Discusses the Part
Stomach Troubles Have Played
in History of Nations
Dr. Samuel G. Dixon, State Com
missioner of Health. In the course of
one of his weekly talks on men and
their trials and tribulations, says that
indigestion has turned the course of
history and that the man whose
stomach is out of order can some
times put a good many other things
out of order.
The commissioner says:
There is no accounting for the trou
ble that dyspeptics have caused in
this world. Every school boy can
quote you "yon' Cassiushatha lean and
hungry look," and this type has stalk
ed through history and Action, threat
ening the peace of individuals and
nations.
It Is not surprising that the person
who suffers from dyspepsia should
take a pessimistic view of life. One
of the cheif functions of the body, di
gestion, is amiss and three times a day
the sufferer is apt to be reminded of
the fact.
The manifestations of digestive dis
turbances differ materially. Often
enough they are not recognized as
such, In fact In many cases the symp
toms show themselves elsewhere than
in the digestive organs. It may result
in headache, defective sight, heart
burn, dizziness or similar ways which
continually recur or vary from time
to time.
In the earlier stages indigestion may
only discover itself as a general feel
ing of discomfort. The causes are
numerous, hasty eating, when ex
hausted, or some functional disorder
of one of the digestive organs.
Care as to the diet, sufficient time
for meals, regularity in eating and
care about overloading the stomach
when tired, are things which should be
observed by tljoae who would avoid
indigestion.
The causes of Indigestion are num
erous and sometimes so serious that
the best medical skill should be called
in to determine the source. The use
of home remedies and patent medi
cines if depended upon, may consume
time that should have been devoted
to more radical treatment.

HXMUSBURG tfHHi TELEGRAPH
WOMEN CUNT 11
OVER SIX DAYS NOW
Attorney General Gives an Opin
ion on the Subject to the
Department of Labor
In an opinion given to the Depart
ment of Labor and Industry Attorney
General Brown holds that women may
not be employed as railroad tele
graphers or telephone operators more
thun six days a week, even though the
work be very light. The opinion Is
the first to be given on this feature of
the women's employment act of 191J
and is very positive in its language.
The attorney general says:
"You forward the letter of two tele
graph and two telephone .operators of
the Pennsylvania Kailroa'd Company
and request an opinion based upon their
letter as to whether the act of July
25, 1913, P. L 1024, regulating the labor
of women. Is mandatory, in so far as
it prohibits working more than six
days in one week.
"The act provides, in unmistakable
terms In Section 3. 'No female shall be
employed or permitted to work in, or
in connection with, any establishment
for more than six days In any one
week." etc.
"This department has heretofore in
terpreted this law as liberally as pos
sible, so as not to work hardship, and
we have considered this request with
reference to the facts stated in the let
ter submitted with your request, viz—
that 'this provision of the law will ulti
mately close this line of work to wo
men,' with a view, if possible, to finding
some method for so construing it as
not to work such result.
"We are unable so to do. The
language is plain. There is no room
for any other construction. The prohi
bition that 'no female shall be employ
ed • * • for more than six days in
any one week,' Is mandatory. We are
not permitted to deviate from the plain
letter of the statute. The appeal for
relief, if the hardship exists as Indi
cated In the letter which you submit,
must be made to the Legislature, but
as long as the law stands as now writ
ten. I advise you that it Is unlawful to
permit women to work in any estab
lishment more than six.days in any one
week."

Berlin Paper Comments
on Wilson, Bryan and T. R.
By Associated Press
Berlin. Sept. 1, via London 11:20
a. m.—The National Zeitung pub
lishes to-day a leading article under
the heading, "Wilson, Bryan and
Roosevelt," which is noteworthy for
its friendly tone and for the ungrudg
ing admiration expressed for Presi
dent Wilson.
The article begins by saying that
discussions of the Arabic affair have
been in a quieter tone since Count Von
B< rnstorff, the German ambassador at
Washington, presented his request to
the American Government to delay
action until Germany had had the op
portunity of presenting Its side of the
case. Even the antlGerman newspa
pers' admitted the justice of this re
quest, the article says.
President Wilson is pictured in fha
article as standing between two rivals,
where activities threatened to brintt
about such a situation that the Presi
dent might make his attitude toward
Germany dependent on domestic po
litical considerations.
Mr. Wilson is characterized as a
more clever politician than "the un
lucky Bryan and the astute politician,
Roosevelt."
