The Talc of Two Coats
Two coats met in a barber shop the other day
while their owners were being shaved. Both
coats were about a year old. One of them looked
seedy shoulders sagged, collar out of shape, front
all wrinkled, and edges curled.
The other was in fine shape -collar and shoul
ders stood right out where they belonged, front
and edges flat and smooth as new. One looked
like it had been through the war, the other showed
wear but its shape was still there. These coats
both looked good when they started out. What
made the difference now? The difference was in
the label. If you had looked at the label in the
good coat you would have found our name, It ,

in the month of March a new record

while tho best previous monthly record
was in March a year ago when 3,487,287

Tacoma, Wash.,
April 8, 1909,
Dear Eastern Friends:
As the A. Y. P. fair is going to be
held in Seattle this summer, I am go
ing to tell you something about our
beautiful city of Tacoma.
It is located on Puget Sound. It also
is surrounded by very many beautiful
mountains, especially Mt. Tacoma,
which is a very high mountain and is
covered with snow the year around.
Tacoma has many beautiful parks,
Point Defiance is the most beautiful. It
is a natural park and consists of 1,000
acres and has a fine beach on three
sides.
In the heart of the city is another
pretty park called Wrights Park. In
the center there is a small lake which
has hundreds of Gold Fish, and there
also two large whith swans, and it has
every kind of tree that grows. It also
has many beautiful flowers.
mere are twenty-eight schools in
Tacoma and the high school is consid
ered to be one of the nicest Bchool
buildings in the states. Near the high
school there is a large gulch and they
are filling this in and are going to build
one of the finest stadiums in the United
States.
One of the most interesting sights is
to go to thu wharf and sec the large
ships come in from all over the world,
and watch them unload the cargo.
They will take train loads of silk from
one ship and send it on to New York,

Several weeks ago a Tennessee paper
printed a list of monthly and weekly
publications that do not accept any li
quor advertising It included prac
tically every well known magazine and
periodical in the United States.
Such is the trend of the advertising
world. Nobody is quicker to feel the
pulse of the public than extensive ad
vertisers. They have discovered that
the women of America are moving al
most in a solid mass against the liquor
traffic. They have found that women
will not read advertising which is on
the same page, or even in the same
publication, with liquor advertisements,
The result has been that the publisher
had to listen to the demand for the
withdrawal of the pages given over to
the brewer and the distiller.
And now the crusade has reached the
daily papers. Other advertisers refuse
to appear on the page with liquor ad-
rtisements, and the enemies of the
liquor traflic will not permit journals
carrying liquor business to enter their
homes. Dry territory is rapidly plac
ing an embargo on wet papers. Fur
thermore, the liquor man himself is
gradually dropping newspaper adver
tising. After long conferences the
brewers and distillers have decided that
newspaper publicity is one of the chief
causes of the great prohibition wave
which i3 sweeping the whole world
They have found that it is bad policy to
try to convince the world that George
Washington and every other great man
of history was great because he drank
liquor.
Circulars are now the pet medium o
advertising for the liquor dealers. They
attract less attention and do not flaunt
the traffic before the public in such an
obnoxious manner.-Whites's Class Ad
vertising.
Vagaries of Millinery.
In the millinery world there are signs
of a recoil. The vagaries of that art
seemed to have reached the limit witli '
the awful straw "scuttles" and the ex
aggerated inverted straw "bowls" that
women are seizing upon with which to
disfigure themselves in obedience to
fashion. What could be more logical
that is, according to the ethics of
fashion then that these enormities:
should be succeeded by the modest and
sensible antitheses of bonnets and by
preference, poke bonnets. Kansas

Death of Mrs.
Anderson
Mrs. C. C. Anderson died at the
home of L. G. Larson, Friday, at the
ripe age of 82 years. She was born in
rcden, March 5, 1827. She was mar
ried to C. C. Anderson in their native
country, and they came to America in
18711. Two years after they arrived in
this country her husband died.
The union of Mr. and Mrs. Anderson
resulted in the brith of four daughters
and two son. Of the daughters Mrs.

ing to sell alum baking powders what
the exhibition call a baking powder test.
They pretend to show by some boiling
test that pure cream of tartar baking
powders contain something which every
woman of intelligence knows they do
not.
It does not need a chemist to expose
this trick. Cream of tartar, which Is the
chief constituent of the best and most
wholesome baking powder, is originally
a clear, white crystal. This is ground
into a fine, creamy flour in which form,
mixed with baking soda it is present in
the baking powder. Cream of tartar,
when mixed with water and boiled sim
ply returns to its crystalline form, and
that is all there is to the so-called test.
The matter of special interest to the
public is to know what these people
offer in place of cream of tartar pow
ders of well known purity and establish
ed reputation against which these sland
ers are directed. They are offering a
baking powder which official analyses
have repeatedly shown is made from
alum, a drug so well recognized by phy
sicians and scientists as injurious to
health that in many countries its use in
bread is entirely prohibited! So cheap
and inferior are the ingredients of thi
powder that it costs to make less than
three cents a pound. No prudent house
wife will knowingly put such stuff aa
this into her food.

Mrs. Anna Krowlek died at her home
