EX are generally economical lo the point of niggardliness i___j about matches, one of the ■cheapest articles of daily use. This is instinct rather than reason. Before matches came Into general use, less than u century ago. It was necessary to watch and husband every bit of fire because it was a tedious job to rekindle the spark by primitive methods. .Despite the unreasoning economy in their use, however, billions of matches are made yearly. The match manufacturer spends 37 cents out of each dollar which he recedes for materials. Seventeen cents goes to labor and 46 cents remains for profit and overhead. A wage raise of 5 per cent would add to every dollar the maker would have to ask to cover his increased expense the sum of eight-tenths of 1 cent. A 5 pel- cent increase in materials would add 1.8 cents. NEXT: Sweaters. COPY OF WASHINGTON BOOZE LIST IS HELD Customers of Bootleg Syndicate Will Be Produced at Proper Time.

WAR ABATED AS MEXICO OBSERVES CHRISTMAS DAY Rumor Current That U, S, Will Back Obregon Against Revolutionists, Bu United Dress MEXICO CITY, Dec. 26—Mexico's latest war of rebellion abated a bit while the capitol and the country generally celebrated Christmas. Government reports, published while crowds kept cabarets-merry and fire < rackers made as much noise as a Mexican battle, announced that on the various fronts the Federal troops held the insurgents in check. . Rebels taken prisoner at Puebla or driven in flight when Obregon's men captured the city, have been given fifteen days in which to turn back jto the Government. If they do so j within that time, they will be rei leased and not punished. A rumor Is growing that in some way the United States is going to aid Obregon. Many believe both Calies and de La Huerta are to be eliminated from the presidential race, after ! which the United States will back 1 Obregon "to the limit." Gen. Angelo Flores, loyal to Obregon. is considered as the strong est candidate if Calies and de La Huerta are eliminated. WORK ON PLAZA TO BEGIN SOON Tearing Down of Buildings Is First.

RHEUMATISM A Remarkable Home Treatment Given by One Who Had It. In the year of 1893 I was attacked by Muscular and Subacute Rheumatism. I suffered as only those who are thus afflicted know, for over three years. I tried remedy after remedy, but such relief as I obtained was only temporary.l Finally I found a treatment that cured me completely, and such a pitiful condition has never returned. I have given it to a number who were ten* i b 1 y afflicted, even bedridden, some of them seventy to eighty years old, and the results were the same as in my own case.

I want every sufferer from any form of muscular and sub-acute (swelling at the joints) rheumatism, to try the great value of my improved “Home Treatment” for its remarkable healing power. Don’t send a cent; simply mail your name and address and I will send it free to try. After you have used it and it has proven itself to be that long-looked-for means of getting rid of such forms of rheumatism, you may send the price of it, one dollar, but understand, I do not want your money unless you are perfectly satisfied to send it. Isn’t that fair? Why suffer any longer when relief is thus offered you free? Don’t delay. Write today. MASK H. JACKSON No. 495-K Durston Bldg. SYRACUSE, N. Y. Mr. Jackson 1b rosponßible.
