I "It teemed to make MM difference where we jot It or what we paid for It, it has never . seemed right" "Often the hlgheet priced clothes w hava bought have given at the tame cause for complaint" "That name SINCERITY CLOTHES attracted my attention ; it eon tided hon ettj eeemed to mean tomething." " I went Into the etore to Investigate, and I am pretty well aatlafied that I am on the right track now." " In anawer to my questions the SINCER ITY man explained things to me." "It seems that no matter how accurately clothes are rot, the tailors who make up the garments wilt make mistakes in sewing, and instead of doing it over again, practically all the makers "fix up" the garments by ikrinA inf or itrtttking with the Hot Fiat-Iron, ntil the garment is shaped right." ' " Natarally there Is no way for as to tell, without having Inside information, and, of course, all this Hot Flat-Iron work comes W again when the Coat Is worn awhile, or frtt wet," " Howls a fellow to know when a Coat Is 'fkW that way t I asked the SINCERITY man." - Well I " says he, "here's one test:" " Lay the Coat col flat on a table. If it's sincerely made the collar ought to lie in a perfect) ttraigkt line along the edge and where it turns over." If It is 'Jeptd'by the Flat-Iron, the line will be wmvy; and after the 'faked ' Coat is worn, the Collar will, of course, ttand way from the neck and lose its ikapt." "The difference Is, that SINCERITY CLOTHES are revised, when necessary, by good old fashioned Hand Needle-Work, in itead of Flat-Iron 'faking,' giving the gar ment ptrmuntnt shape that requires very little pressing, if any. " Now that sounds like good logic to me." " There was a great variety of patterns in SINCERITY CLOTHES, and they were the most perfect-fitting garments I ever put on, besides having the latest style-lines." "So I bought a suit, aad right glad I am that I did it." " Well, my boy, that's the way to figure things out. It's quality that tells in every thing. At my age, style doesn't count so much, but I am mighty glad to know how and where I can get a Suit or Overcoat that is honestly made." ' "To-morrow we will make another call op the SINCERITY CLOTHIER and I will have a suit, too, with this label : " "SINCERITY CLOTHES" j , MADE AM9 lOAIARTKD IT , KUH, NATHAN AND FISCHER CO.

At this Juncture Gov emor Mickey gave the man a reprieve for two years. The case was called the first part bf the term and because no one ap peared to prosecute Judge Holmes entered an order of dismissal. Na New Clothes for Visiters, When old soldiers leave the Soldiers' Home to visit back in the places where , they came from they will wear the same clothes they have been wearing If they will hold together. In other words, the State Board of Purchases and Supplies haa decided not to buy any new clothes for the old soldiers when they desire to leave the home on fur lough. The matter came up In a reques this morning from a number of the Inmates who wanted new suits to go visiting In. The bosrd then and there made a rule that no new clothes go. This action Is based on the rules governing the homes for soldiers In Illinois. In that state It Is said the com radea are not allowed even to wear unl forms when they leave the homes. Cktrk am urix Bills. Because the prison' physlcisn haa been careless about buying drugs for the pent tentlary under the emergency rule, which allow him to spend $26 a month without an order from the board. It is likely the emergency rules will be suspended and every cent spent by a superintendent of a state Institution will first have to be passed upon by the board. It la asserted by the board the prices paid are too high. A bill Just filed by a druggist looks so big to th board that It ordered an Investigation and the prices have benjn compared with the nrices asked by other druggists for the same medicine, with the result that th bill will be materially cut.

FREMONT The deputy county assessors met at Assessor Walker's office to make arrangements for tlm work which begins Is Disease a Crime ? Not very long ago, a popular magazlrie fublished an editorial article In which ha writer asserted, in substance, that all disease should be regarded as criminal. Certain It -is, that much of the sickness and suffering of mankind Is due to the violation of certain of Nature's laws. But to say that all sickness should be regarded as criminal, must appeal to every reasonable Individual as radically wrong. It would be harsh, unsympathetic, eruel, yes criminal, to condemn the poor, weak, ovtr-workl housewife who sinks under the hoavy load of household cans and burdens, and suffers from weak nesses, various displacement of pelvic organs and other deraiigeineuu peculiar to her sex. Frequent hearing of children, with Its ex acting demands upon the system, coupled with the rare, worry and labor of rearing a larse family, is often the cause, of weak nesses, deraiuremenut and debility which aro Mgravated by the many housvliold cares, anu the hard, and neTer-eudlus- work which the mother is called upon to pcrfirm.
