When You’ve Decided You’ve Thrown Enough
$lO Bills Away on Clothes—Let Me Make
Your Spring Suit for $15.00
Why should you pay $25 or $3O for
a made-to-measure suit? What is
there about a suit that should make
it cost that much? Three or four
yards of cloth —the cutting—trim-
ming—sewing? No sir! It's the pro-
cess by which It’s made.
The man who buys his cloth by
the single piece like the small cus-
tom tailor plays a big price for It.
The bigger man who buys by the
bolt pays a big price. These men pay
the manufacturers a profit the job-
ber. the wholesaler and then they
add on their own—and you pay $25
or $3O for the suit.
That’s the whole scheme fellows.
But listen. I am a branch of the
Glasgow Woolen Mills. Our woolens
are figured in carloads. They come
dlfept from the looms to our big
floors where they are inspected
sjirunk and rerolled. Think of what
we save fellows. Think of how little
the goods for a suit costs us. Next to
nothing. Then we sell direct to you.
OLD “KING” CONSTIPATION OVER-
THROWN BY DODSON’S LIVER TONE
Dethroned By Dodson's Liver Tone.
Thousands Who Once Feared Con-
stipation Now Laugh at It.
It’s little wonder that constipation
has been called the "King of Human
Ills.”
Not that constipation in Itself Is
so dangerous or so alarming but
that constipation so surely leads to
many and dangerous complications.
At least SO people out of every 100
are shackled at some time or other
by constipation’s "Reign of Terror.”
But. thank goodness thousands
have found a safe-and-pleasant way
to stop constipation. And it’s not by
calomel-dosing either because calo-
mel is anything but safe. It’s by

Secretary Redfield Says Na-
tion’s Progress Depends
on Railway Systems.
SENSE OF PROPORTION
Sins Railroad Builders Now
Being Visited Upon Peo-
ple He Declares.
CHICAGO. April 24.—Secretary
Redfield of the Department at
Commerce made a prosperity speech
here Thursday night before the In-
dustrial Club. He took for his topic
“A Sense of Proportion” and con-
tended that any lessening of busi-
ness activities at the present time
was not peculiar to the United States
alone; that a moderate and general
decline of the cost of living has been
noted all over the world and that
the new tariff law had not brought
the rush of foreign Importation
which was threatened. Mr. Redfield
referred to the railroad rate situa-
tion and expressed the hope that the
Interstate Commerce Commission's
decision on the application ot the
Eastern railroads for freight rate
advances would soon be decided.
"It is respectfully submitted ter
your consideration that the follow’ing
statements are correct” said he.
"1 —The adoption of the present
fiscal policy of the nation has not
been Tbllowed by the rush ot for-
eign Importations which was
threatened.
Prices Are Declining.
“2—On the authority of experi-
enced and unprejudiced observers of
different nations there has been pro-
gressing for some months and 16
now in progress a moderate and
quite general decline In price to a
lower level a part of a movement
of a similar character going on
throughout the world.
“4—A general depression in busi-
ness has long existed in many coun-
tries throughout the commercial
world.
"The public has through press and
platform these many years demand-
ed a reduction in the cost of living
That reduction is now going on. Is
It possible it should come without
readjustments which however
healthful are temporarily difficult?
Are business booms born out of c
falling market?
No Need for Pessimism.
"It America is in despair I do not
know it. There are difficulties here.
No man is born into the world with-
out pain; and the evolution from
higher to lower prices from highly
centralized industry Into a more
normal and Idemocratic type will
not be accomplished without diffi-
culty; but to treat the process as It
It were either dangerous or disas-
trous Is like mourning because a
man child is bdrn Into the world
Let us look more closely Into the
business facts.
“Let us as we view the business
situation neither minimize nor mag-
nify it. neither localize it nor gener-
alize it. us look at the facts as
they are. not in their narrow and
immediate and parochial signifi-
cance. California Is not in distress
with her abounding crops. Kansas
knows no weakness In the presence
of her wheat. New York with nearly
eighteen hundred millions in her
savings banks alone faces no Imme-
diate necessity. We are free from
the terrors of an inflexible currency.
We are becoming free from those
who mistakenly thought it would be
long profitable to monopolize. We
are readjusting ourselves upon an
altered economic basis. Speculation
is not rife. Our merchants are not
overstocked. Our competing power
was never as strong as now. Such
dullness as there was has been in
part the bringer of a higher cffl-
ciencs' into our factories.
Fear of legislation.
“Ah but one says 'the fear of
business legislation.' I have already
hinted at tha fact that this legisla-
tion if ft had been desired to have It
hasty or rash might well have been
enacted long ago. Almost Imme-
diately after the president’s message
upon the subject certain measures
were introduced Into both Houses.
Three months have gone. They have
been spent in discussion. Business
men have been given an opportunity
to state their views. Time has been
taken to hear from the country
Furthermore it will. . am sure be
admitted to be just that a Congress
shall be judged by Its fruits and the
present one has produced several
greatsdegislatlvc enactments. <
“But I confess to amusement at
learnlng’ln some quarters that busi-
ness does not demand further legis-
lation for therein business shows
that sense of detachment from thee
general weal which has been Its
bane It may well be that the public
demands that which business does
not seek. The point Is both that Busi-
ness must remember that its voice is
not the only one that l s to be beard
"But it Is true that our whole
outlook is affected by the absence
from our markets of our largest pur-
chasers and our largest employers. I
say absence meaning that our rail-
road companies are sharply econo-
mizing because as they claim their
revenues in relation to their nec-
essary expenditures are such that
they can not do otherwise- I shall
npt enter upon a discussion of the
question now pending before a trib-
unal which is abundantly competent
[to deal with them and no just In-
ference may be ’drawn from what
shall say as to the merits of those
questions. I think I am justified as
a business man in saying that I
i earnestly hope the decision will be
| reached with the least possible de-

Can you think of any other desirable feat-
ure that you —yourself—would like to have
in event you purchase one of these pianos?
Can you suggest any other advantage or privilege
that the organizers of this plan can add to this big pro-
position that will make it fairer—safer—easier or more
desirable in any way to its members—all intent on mak-
ing their piano investment as light and easy and safe as
possible?
If you can—let us have it. If it is good—we will
certainly adopt it.
This sale is limited to 150 instruments; 100 pianos
and 50 player-pianos—B6 of which have already been
taken.
Therefore if you are going on a vacation—if you
are going out of the city for a few weeks—if you don’t
want your piano until this summer or fall—or even
until Christmas — select your piano now. Don't delay
bringing in or sending in your initial payment at once.
Simply send us a check or fold up a five dollar bill and
mail it to us in a letter stating that you want one of
the pianos or player-pianos reserved for you. We will
then register your application—and deliver the instru-
ment when you return to the city—or any time up unto
or during the holi-
days.
You may begin
with your weekly
payments now or
not just as you
like. If you pre-
fer you need not
begin your weekly
dues of a
a quarter until the
piano is delivered
—suit yourself in
this matter.
The point is—-
get your order in
now. Send in or
bring in your inir
tial $5 at once.
