Lamp that gives the whitest, the brightest light obtainable with electricity. The PEERLESS is a drawn wire filament, stronger than the old style carbon, and will save ',011 enough current to operate a laundry iron, a toaster or other household utilities. Used by all large consumers from the U. S. government down. 4Why? Because of not only the saving in cost of operation, but also the better efficiency. You say the Mazda is too frail and will not stand the usage that the Carbon filament will. That applied to the old moulded filament, but not to the Drawn Wire filament of the PEERLESS. Try them out. The av erage life is 200 hours burning, more than the carbdn lamp. Even if they lasted but half as long you would save enough in current to more than pay for the extra lamp, but such is not the case. The fact is the difference in current will pay for the lamp.

Oct. 29. While the whole trend of the new tariff law upon the American "market basket" Is toward cheapening the cost of "eat" It is extremely doubtful If much real benefit will be felt by Mr. Common People when lie goes to the grocery store. Tho "free market basket" was one of the big features of the Democratic tariff fight. In theory the Democrats kept their promise Hcrupously. Prac tically everything eatable, at least the staples of the American table, was placed on the free list. Meats, vege tables, wheat, fish, coffee, lard and salt are included.

This is the safe, sound, con nerval ive, unpartisan and unbiased opinion of the experts hero.

After 1 9 1 1 , when sugar be comes entirely duty free, the tariff reduction will amount to between 1 Mi to 2 cents a pound.
