trafdng hare beea (ftitng on, it ha set m to
hinklnc why It Is that nearly erery salt or
Overcoat that yo or I bar ever bought ha
wrinkled and shrank, and gotten all out of
shape." 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 : "

Analysis of Pera Coal,
' The eoal discovered near Peru Is shown
by an analysis to be of a good Quality
and to compare favorably with the 'coal
t.v.n from the Cumberland. Wyo., mines.
Prof. Barbour, geologist of the State unt
erslty, has Just returned from Peru with
a sample which was analysed by L. J
Fepperberg of the geological survey. Mr.
Barbour said the coal analyzed came from
near the surface and therefore contained
considerable moisture. When the vein is
dug deeper the coal will be of a better
oualltv. The vein is of an average of
thirty-four Inches In thickness. The analy

" Barker Cava Dismissed
The insanity charge against
Barker, the Webster county murderer, filed
to save him from the gallows, has been
dismissed by Judge Holmes of the Lair
csster district court for want of prosecu
tion. A few days before Barker was to
have been executed Judge Hamer. tils at
torney, filed tk J) charge and Judge Holmes
refused the Jury trial, claiming be had no
Jurisdiction. The case was taken to the su
preme court and that court held Judge
Holmes did have Jurisdiction to give the
man a trial by Jury. 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.

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,
