SOMETHING MUST BE DONE. It Is an accepted fact, recognized by practically all classes of people In the city itself, that East Chicago .is suffering from a sanitary standpoint, a business and financial standpoint; and from an industrial standpoint because cf the great lack of facilities for satisfactorily housing the 15,000 employes who find work within the corporate limits of the rapidly growing city. The great need becomes apparent when we stop to note that with a working force of 15,000 men, the city has only about 30,000 populationStatistical experts tell us that ordinarily this number of employes, taking the country over, ought to support a population of 90.000 instead of onetL.rd that number. The Chamber of Commerce has attempted to grapple with this problem, hut the task presented such extraordinary obstacles that, notwithstanding very effort, but little has been done- In March and April two pages were taken In a big Chicago daily paper and the housing needs of the city set forth to the hope that outside capital would be enlisted to provide a requisite number of homes. Thus far. however, the aim has not been realized. In a JUrther effort to get something really worth while accomplished, a housing expert a man who has assisted in many places to build industrial citie3 -was Invited to come before the directors of the Chamber of Commerce for a conference. That conference began yesterday noon and was continued np to a late hour last n'ght. As a result, It la believed that something feasible has at last been hit trjxra. The plans contemplate a detailed survey of the needs of the city, a formulated and widely adopted plan of action, followed by a campaign conducted wherever capitalists may be found.

It certainly looks as Sf we had better flguru on 'em, anyway. Nine and ten dollars for good low shoes, twelve and fifteen for high are the average prices up to date. There won't be any other figure for us. either. If the high cost of corsets keeps on ascending-. A corset that was
orig-lnally- eight dollars and a half hasj
leaped lightly from $9.50 to $11.50 since the first of May. Other price corsetj from the cheapest batlate ready-to-wear ones up to the most exquisite broche made-to-order models, have all gone up proportionately. It Indeed seems quite time that we steel ourselves against these costly corsets before they "bust" us. ' On the other hand, there are the gloves. If you want to handle Anythingwith kid gloves these days you must be prepared first to hand out at
least $2 per pair for short white ones. And they are going up! So are our hands in consternation. The worst of it is we can't challenge the point. rvVe - .i't dare tl.ro vv iuwn t.e gaunttet -they're much too expensive. The bad phase, of it Is thit you don't pet as good goods for the more money. At a reputable shop I tried on five pair of $2.50 white gloves the other day before I found a perfect pair with unripped stitehinsr. Shoes may be on a

WHOLE-WHEAT BREAD. One of the provisions of the Lever hill before 'Congress provides that this food dictatorship measure grants to the president the right to designate what percentage of flour shall be derived from various classes and grades Df wheat In milling It. This would enable the president to do arumy with some of the evils of the white flour business- White flour as we get It Is hardly a food. Millers and bakers' prefer it, the former because the "offal" produced in milling can be sold for cattle fieed- Yet what the animals get constitute the mineral matter and therefore the richest part of the grain. If whole wheat is restored or if economical mixtures are to be had not only -will grain be conserved, economy effected, but the health of all bread users will be Improved. As it is now. white flour bread, whether made in the home or at the bakers, is a'Joke as far as food value is concerned. It is a tdemineralized, poorly nourishing substance, which would bring death to any one who dieted on it for very long. Tet were one to live on graham or whole-wheat bread fbr a similar period he would still be strong.

THE hair mattress without doubt is superior to mattresses made of any other material. It is more economical, more comfortable, more sanitary. But until the introduction of SLUMBERON the better grades of hair mattresses have been a luxury. The cheaper kinds were not satisfactory because they were either not all hair or because they were made of very poor materials. Sanitary HalT MattPeSS
SLUMBERON Is made entirely of new, high grade curled hair, cleansed and purified to the greatest degree. SLUMBERON is made in a light, sanitary factory under the best conditions possible. The covering is heavy dust-proof ticking of extra quality. SLUMBERON sells for $25.00. We can only sell
this exceptionally fine mattress at this low price because of our purchasing and manufacturing facilities. This price is only slightly more than that charged for inferior cotton or fibre mattresses. The SLUMBERON is 'four feet six inches wide and weighs forty pounds.
Look for the Slumberon Label on every Mattress ' Ask your dealer to show yon a SLUMBERON. YouH recognise it by the blue and gold label on the end. If he doesn't handle them write us and we will send you the name of a SLUMBERON dealer near your home, together with our valuable booklet "Correct Sleeping."
