Peck, member for this district in the House of Commons, inade a short speech in the House of Commons recently on a mo- tion to amend the Pensions Act to make the allowance to soldiers’ widows stable. As ‘reported in iansard, he said:— “| rise to support the motion, as I have risen repeatedly in this House to express my sympathy with the mothers and widows of men Who served their country in the late-struggle. I shall not de- lay the House at this time with any lJengthy discussion of the question, because I think that enough has been said.

If, however, they do not grant that opportu- nily, then we shall bring the mat- ter up in some other manner.

I think the whole subject could be more ad- vantageously discussed at a later date; and, as I have I am convinced that the Govern- ment will grant an opportunity to discuss the question of pen- sions.

Miller Huggins, manager of the Boston Red Sox, had a few wretch- edinoments one day last week for “Babe” Ruth nearly sprained his ankle. The Boston husky walked in the seeond inning of a prac- Lice game and at once broke out ‘na dash for second base. He slid into the bag with a distinctly elephantine grace, but his foot got up limping and calling for time. Miller Hug- sins lost no time in dashing out iyo the players’ bench to exam- ine his prize-winner'’s ankle.

FORM OF NOTICE. THE DAILY NewS Sults that are pressed réquenily and cleaned occasionally \@ wear 25 io go per \ cent longer “It is not every man that can afford to wear a shabby coat,” Robert Colton once wrote. The words hold as true now as when first written, three-quarters of a century ago. Nevertheless it is needful today to make the old suit last—though not at the expense of becoming tattered. Between the costliness of clothing at the one extreme, and slabbiness of them at the other, there is a middle ground where economy and good appearance meet. Our modern dry cleaning estab- lishment is this middle ground. Here our experienced cleaners can tune up your old clothes and preserve your new. Every person realizes the business advantage and the sccial value of clothes well cleaned and neatly pressed, but there is more in these details than improvement of ‘‘looks”’ alone. Ask your tailor or your clothier. They will inform you that apparel frequently pressed, and cleaned at intervals of two or three months, will wear from 25 to 50 per cent longer than clothes that are not so considerately cared for, How to make your old suit last There is a sound reason for this. You wash your linen when it be- comes soiled—it is a matter of self- respect and personal hygiene, of course, but it is also true that if left unwashed your shirts would wear out much more quickly. Perspiration, oils, grease, and fruit juices have a corrosive effect; dust and dirt have a grinding action— your outer clothing needs purging of these equally as much as does your linen. The cleansing gasoline baths used in our dry cleaning process, and the pressing of the presser, with hot steam working through the fabric, have a Sterilizing action—your ap- parel is made, by our scientific treatment of each garment, as im- maculate outside as inside, it keeps its shaper better, and is saved from tell-tale shininess. Your old suit will last longer, and your new suit will do double duty if you will more frequently use our modern cleaning and pressing ser- vice, which is specially organized to meet your individual needs. Get started on the road to clothes economy. We offer you prompt de- livery and all the advantages of our up-to-the-minute dry cleaning methods. Tele- phone us today.
