P| PRICE IN CLOTHING.
Both Maker and Retailer is Blamed
fPor the High Prices.
Lftvt* - "The public will get -garments at
' . * attractive prices only when the rep
< * tailers and the manufacturers conm
tent themselves with legitimate profits,"
said Benjamin Schlessinger,
president of the International Ladies'
* Garment Workers union, in reply
yesterday to statements credited to
J. M. Gidding & Co., and Franklin
Simon & Co., blaming high, prices on
. tjie cost of labor.
^ "As recently as two months ago,"
he continued, "whenever I discussed
with manufacturers the possibility of
f selling garments at prices more attractive
to the public, they always
I pointed to the public, they always
|f s pointed to the retailers, who, they
[ said, almost doubled the manufacK
' . " turers' prices.
[ "When I think that in most $75
and $100 garments sold by Franklin
Simon & Co. and J. M. Gidding & Co.
the labor cost is about $10 or $12 at
I most; when I think of the indictment
K brought against retail concerns for
profiteering in the war, it becomes
i quite clear to me who is responsible
for the high prices,
j "Statements by most reputable
1 manufacturers show that a garment
| sold at $40 by the retailer is sold to
m him for $28. The cost of labor is
I about one-quarter of the wholesale
Bp . price, or $7. Reducing the worker's
r 5 pay would have little effect on the
price to -the public."?New York

I landed on this ball, a bit of flesh
wrapped 'round# a squall, it welcomed
me with joy and pride my life has
never justified. It follows me my
whole life through, /with words all
kind and mostty true; and even after
I am hearsed 'twill tell my best and
hide my worst. When in Oshkosh

"First National" Robbed.
Sanford, N. C., Jan. 1.?With $1,200
in currency securely tucked inside
her stocking, Mrs. Joe M. Thomas
was knocked down and robbed last
night at her home near here wihen
she went out to see if a chicken house
was fastened. . The money had been

a new dwelling. She had just finished
counting it. Bloodhounds failed
to pick up any trail. Her husband
was shot at when he started to
town to get a physician.
Climbing.
Secretary Hoover said at a banquet:
"One difference between Europe
and America is that over there
! they like to keep you in your place?
I stationary, you know; while here we
i like to see a man rise.
I "The European idea is pretty well
; illustrated by the remarks of Muggins.
Muggins on his return from the
I pub'.one Saturday night said to his
wife:
" T believe in manly pride and reasonable
ambition, but when Sergeant
Todd with the cork leg takes to carryin'
a cane besides, it looks to me as
if he was tryin' to climb out of the
station what divine providence put
him into.' "
Fastidious Thieves.
Athens?Two burglars who entered

left no cigarette ashes on the rugs
and had also smoothed out the cush|

Own Story of Recovery.
Paint Rock, Ala.?Mrs. C. M. Stegall,
of near here, recently related the following
interesting account of her recovery:
"I was in a weakened condition.
I was sick three years in bed,
suffering a great deal of pain, weak,
nervous, depressed. I was so weak,
T rnnldn't walk Arm** the floor: lust
had to lay and my little ones do the
work. I was almost dead. I tried
every thing I heard of, and a number of
doctors. Still I didn't get any relief.
I couldn't eat, and slept poorly. I
believe if I hadn't heard of and taken
Cardui I would have died. I bought
six bottles, after a neighbor told me
what it did for her.
1 began to eat and sleep, began to
gain my strength and am now well
and strong. I haven't had any trouble
since ... I sure can testify to the
good that Cardui did me. I don't
think there is a better tonic made
and I believe it sat ed my life."
For over 40 years, thousands of women
have used Cardui successfully,;
in the treatment of many womanly
ailments.
If yon suffer as these women didt
take Cardui It may help you, too.
