Marcus Gale, bead of the mercan tile firm of Gale & Co., returned Fri day evening after an extended tour 4-rontn the east, during which toe enjoyed hlmM-lf eseeedlnrlr. having met old friends he had not seen for 40 yeara. Hi travels Included the city of St. Louis. Chicago and New ork and be bad for an- especial ob ject the. observation of bnsiness con ditions In the big commercial cen ters and tbe prospects for the future. Mr. Gale talked with many whole salers and Inquire as to the cause of continued high prices of goods, also tbe prospect as to prices In the near future. They Invariably gave tbe labor condition as the cause o! the high prices. They claimed that not only are the wages and salaries, of labor at a very blgb point, but at the same time the relative amount of production in tbe factories has been reduced' thus giving an added cost to the output. They said the eost of tbe raw materials Is bot to blame for high prices., but the heavy item of production Is labor, and this affecta all stages of hand ling tbe product. In the farming regions visited by Mr. Gale there was great complaint of shortage of farm help. It is rare to find a man under 4 5 years of age employed on farms. Tbe youngtr men who have a smattering of tech nical knowledge of mechanics or machinery can obtain such high wages ia tbe cities that they tuin their backs upon agriculture.

Political Platforms Are Set Oat in New Books Several new books have been re ceived at the public library during the pant week, some of which have been sought by Salem readers for some time and are intensely Inter esting. Planks In our political platforms re discussed at some length in these works, as are other topics f current interest. They follow: The IrUh question "Ireland In the last Fifty Years" by Barker. "Ireland and England Past and Pres ent." by Turner. Chinese immigration: "Selected Articles on Immigration" by Reeley. Railway control: "Government Ownership of Rsilroads" or Phelps.

Helpful Health Hints I The story of some dyspeptics lis tens like a last year's almanac. Health Is a condition to be envied, but only the sick are aware of tbe fact. . . . It ia fine to be one hundred years old and respected. It Is also pret tr good to be twenty-five and heal thy. . v Your'boy may be "the Tillage cut up" but that is no indication that he will turn out to be a great surgeon. It Is amazing bow few doctors care to leave "foot- prints on , the sands of time" It is so much more pleasant to ride In an auto. The moral tragedy of human life comes almost wholly from the fact that we have not disciplined our selves to do that which we know should be done. The pallid, anemic school girl needs something more than regula tion of studies, fresh air, and nour ishing, easily, digested food. For such patients osteopathy Is tbe all es sential remedy.-It is especially bene ficial because )t promptly overcomes me existing dioou impoverisnment. "Son la Married" by Stephen Mc Kenna.

Wffl M' They . Give Lasting Comfort Are You A Careful Dresser ? If yon have not yet done to, Just casually notice those men who seem to yon to be "well dressed." Notice every line in the suit how it fits, how it keeps its shape, how it always looks aa if it was jnst bought. Then ask the man where he trays his suits. He will usually say, "I have Mother make them for mc" Yes, that is true because men who always want to look right hav-j leaned by experience thut our suits have that quality of service whic h makes them look' as good as rew after months of wear. ; . . . I . The secret to all this is the individuality of every suit. It is made to look well on yon. and: yon only. No suit can become any and every man. It must be made for; him That is the reason wearers of "Mother" suitj are alwayi well dressed. . ' Only High Grade Woolens Used D .H.
