Talking
About
CLOTHING
Do you know that there in a vat difference
in the make up, lining, sewing und general
finish of clothing.
Thcro it the "made to sell" kind, pretty
patterni, gaudy linings, but there's no iatinfac
tion in the wear; it is made in a hurry by
underpaid labor; just "made to sell."
Then there's the "made to wear" kind, pro
perly shrunk, plain but strong lining, the
"vitals," or inside paddings, properly adjusted'
sewed with silk, mudo by skilled labor and sold
on honor.
The "made to wear" kiml wts u little more
than tin "mado to sell" kind, but, drur me, it.
in ever ho much better.
We sell tho made to wear kind.

In the Cuban reciprocity bill In (the
house seems to be waning, judging
from the atitendanceon the floor today,
but earnestness of speeches on both
sides of the question Increase rather
than decrease in intensity. That the
Republican opponents of the bill are
determined to prolong the struggle as
much as possible was made manifest
today by their refusal to allow the
apeeches to be printed In record.

early in the day .after some criticism

While strongly supporting the policy
of the government to exclude the Chi
nese laborers, the Ohio senator main
tained that this could beat be accom
plished by the extension of the pres:
ent law, holding that the drastic pro
visions of pending bill would cut off
our cotton trade with China and wreck
the cotton Industry of the South.
Teller responded to Foraker, urging
that the right to abrogate treaties w

LONDON. April 14 Not for many
yean has Great Britain's fiscal pro
gram been awaited with such Inter
est aa thaj whicn attached to today"a
announcement and there is no doubt
that alt proposals, contained in the
budget given out today by Sir Mich'
ael Hicks-Beach, chancellor of the ex
chequer, will be adopted. "
More important, perhaps, than cur
ious in the forms of new taxation is
the statement made by the chancel
lor, that the government had acceded
to the Boer demand concerning the
restocking of the farms.
The Assoc!'' 'ed Press learns upon
excellent authority that the principal
provision of the budget, namely
treasury loan of 3.200,000 upon which
Sir Michael Hicks-Reach was remark
ably reticlent, has a serious bearing
upon the peace question. There appears
to be a very strong belief in the cab
inet that .owing to ihe expected early
termination of the war .the 32.000,000
will never be needed.
