SPRING SUITS TO
COST MORE, SAY
CLOTHING MEN
Causes of High Prices Are Be
yond Control of Retailers, .
Speaker Tells Merchants'
Association.
Chicago, Dee. 11. Clothing
prices will continue upward next
spring, Charles E. Wry. secretary
of the National Association of Re
tail Clothiers, announced today, ex
plaining steps taken by the associa
tion to assist Attorney General A.
" Mitchell Palmer in combatting the
high cost of wearing apparel
; The causes of high prices are
'beyond the control of the retail
dealers, Wry declared, but members
of the association are preparing to
hold further price advances to the
minimum, at the sacrifice of their
own profits.
Popular price suits, which sold
before the war at $25 and now re
tail at $50, will bring $60 or more
next spring, Wry said.
Demoralization of the industry in
cident to the army demand for uni
forms during the war, greatly in
creased labor costs and shortage of
labor due to the stoppage of whole
sale immigration, are responsible,
Wry added. Piece workers in Chi
cago clothing factories are earning
as high as $135 weekly, he said.
From one of the poorest paid in
dustries, employing largely immi
grant workers, before the war, the
needle trades have become one of
the best paid. Wage increases since
. 1914 average 175 per cent, Wry
saidfi while government reports fix
the increase in the cost of living
during the same period at 131 per
cent. v

You Can't Brush Or
Wash Out Dandruff
The only sure way to get rid of
dandruff is to dissolve it, then you
destroy it entirely. To do this, get
about four ounces of ordinary liquid
arvon; apply it at night when retir
ing; use enough to moisten the
scalp and rub it in gently with the
finger tips.
Do this tonight, and by morning,
most if not all, of your dandruff
will be gone, and three or four more
applications will completely dissolve
and entirely destroy every single
sign and trace of it, no matter how
much dandruff you may. have. 1
You will find, too, that all itching
and digging of the scalp will stop at
once, and your hair will be fluffy,
lustrous, glossy, silky and soft, and
look and feel a hundred times bet
ter. ' You can get liquid arvon at ny
drug store. It is inexpensive and
never fails to do the work.

Snow and Cold Have No Effect on Efforts of Workers
Who Are Anxious to Bring Holiday Cheer Into
Homes of Omaha Poor.
Snow and slush in Omaha fail to
halt the activities of the Salvation
Army in its campaign for food and
clothing for the needy any more
than the gas and shrapnel in France
halted them in caring for the needy-
Yankee fighting men. .
As in France, the symbol here is
the doughnut. Doughnuts on the
fighting line made this organiza
tion's work, known over the entire
world. Assisted by the generous of
Omaha, who will drop their mite in
the huge doughnuts on the down
town, street corners, the Salvation
Army liopes. to bring Christmas
cheer into the homeof every poor
family in the city.
Fuel administration, orders are
hot enforced on this little band of
workers, who early and late stand
vigil over the contributions of Oma
ha citizens. Snow and cold fail to
drive - them from their assigned
posts. No rhonetery reward awaits
them for the efforts. When their
duties are completed in this cam
paign, after the distribution of
necessities on Christmas day, the
only reward will be the thanks from
pinched faces of the poor and the
knowledge that they have aided hun
dreds in their hour of stress.
The Salvation Army workers are
anxious to have Omaha open its
pursestrings wider than usual this
year. The coal strike and resultant
throwing out of employment of hun
dreds of workers make the suffer
ing here worse than usual this year.
Relief is already being extended
and each day brings more and more
demands for aid.
The huge replicas of the dough
nuts, that fed our soliders overseas,
will feed the poor of Omaha, if
Omaha will do its part. All of the
money collected in this way will be
used to relieve the suffering of
Omaha poor.

My HEART aud
My HUSBAND
Adele Garrison'g New Phase of
Revelations
of a Wife
The Disconcerting Question Lilian
Asked Madge.
I turned defiantly to Lillian when
we were finally left alone in my
room. I have not felt so absolutely
exasperated at everything and every
body since I was a small child, and
my little mother used to put me in a
room alone to get over my tantrums.
I had a very vivid picture of the
small girl who used to, stamp her
feet, pound on the 'door and other
wise exercise the demon of temper
within her until at last the fountains
of her childish soul broke up in peni
tent tears and she sobbed herself to
sleep. I felt far more like stamping
my feet. Dicky, at whom my anger
w,as chiefly directed, was out of my j
reach. My frayed nerves chose Lil
lian, of all all persons, as a target
Weill I said sullenly, I m ready
to be spanked and put to bed with
out any supper."
Lillian looked at me placidly,
nothing but innocent inquiry as to
my meaning written on her face. I
had not consciously wished to irri
tate her, but as I involuntarily con
trasted her poise with my own ex
citement I felt a wild longing to
make her angry at me.
"Why don't you say what you're
thinking?" I demanded with what
1 sub-consciously ' knew was peri
lously near a virago's manner. "I'd
rather listen to it and get it over
with that heaven-preserve-the-inno-cent-cheeld-from-her-own-folly
ex
pression. I can t help it, can I, if a
man who feels that he was the cause
of my accident tries to make amends
by sending me flowers and trying to
make my convalescence pleasant?"
"No."
The monosyllable was in Lillian's
quietest tones. She had turned to
ward me and was looking attentively
at me quite as if she were studying
me.
'Then what is your objection?" J
flared. '.'You needn't pretend you
haven't any. I know better."
"So do I," she agreed with aston
ishing readiness. "Do you really
want me to tell you?"
Her voice, I fancied, held a cold
disapproval that began to chill my
temper. But I threw up my head
defiantly.
"Yes," I snapped.
To my astonishment Lillian's face
broke - into merriment, and she
laughed heartilv. Then she nicked
up a hairbrush from my dressing ta
ble and held it up before my eyes
"If you weren't a real lady," she
said, "I'd advise you to, throw this
through the window. You don't
know what a relief the Crash would
give you. But as you probably
Common-Sense for
Corns, "Gets-It"
The Great Painless Corn Loosener.
Simple at A. B. C. Never Fails.
If you have ever tried to get rid of a
corn by bundling up your toe with band
ages, or by using salve that made your
toe red and almost raw, or tried to drag
your corn out with a knife, there will be
a surprise waiting for you when you use
"Gets-It." Imagine neeliniz -your corn
off gloriously, easily and painlessly, just
like peeling off a banana skin. Well, that
n what happens when you use Gets-It.
There is nothing else that will give you
this same result. Millions of folks have
had the same blessed experience. Why

time for yourself and your friends, 'or your

Of course, there is nothing that

is of interest to everyone.
It is' interesting to the children
because of its hundreds of dolls

Claus, who is on hand to welcome
them and hear what they want
him to bring Christmas night.
To grownups it is interesting
because of the remarkably low
prices on every toy, due to the
store's location out .of the High
Rent District.
As the news of the wonderful
saving possibilities spread, crowds
are daily growing larger, which
makes it advisable to make early
selections. As usual, toys can be

this Grantland business."
"I'm ready to hear it now," I said,
making a wild attempt to hold fast
to my sullen mood .although I knew
it was useless. .Lillian -was absolute
mistress both of the situation and
of my feelings. All at once I felt
very much ashamed of myself, the
penitent tears very near.
I I m sorry 1 began 'tremu

Lillian shot a keen glance at me.
"Will you keep quiet and let me
get these things off?" she replied
with just the right tingle of irrita
tion, in her manner to brace me.
"When I want any apologies from
you I'll turn you over my knee and
make you say them to the tune of a
hairbrush tattoo. Just now I've
something else on my mind." .
Calmed, cheered in spite of my
self, I submitted to her tender min
istering fingeri. She undressed me
as if I were the baby whose infantile
temper I had been simulating, and
after wrapping me, in a comfortable
negligee, put me in a big chair and
letting down my hair, proceeded to
brush it with long, even strokes that
seemed to extract every bit of ner
vous irritation from my system.
I closed my eyes and revelled in
the physical and mental comfort I
was experiencing. But, there was
one thing which I felt I could not go
to sleep, without knowing. After a
long silence I opened my eyes,
twisted mv head toward Lillian.
looked up into her face.
"Now for that objection," I said
with meaning emphasis.
Lillian s face dimpled into amuse
ment, her eyes twinkled.
"Weill to out the whole thing in
a nutshell, I don't think it was quite
necessary for you to atone to our
military friend for your rudeness by
putting your hand so confidingly
upon his arm. Now, was it?"
