I quite cxpect to find her better, but if she proves a gilded brick, I'll be no piker, don- nerwetter; the sacred marriage vow must. stick.” And Katie said, “No vow is greater than is the well known marriage pledge ; though Charles may prove a selling-plater, the vow must stand, I will not hedge.” And each developed tastes unpleasant that made the other sad and sore, and for a season grief was present, and trouble knocked upon the door. It secemed dissension had pre-empted the right of way, and marked their course; and. there were times when each was tempted to buy a rummage sale divorce. But each one sternly strove to smother resentment, anger and distate; they looked for good in one another—their pledges must not go to waste. And Katie’s whims were thus forgiven, and Charles’ tantrums cut no ice; dissension from their home was driven, they knew the peace beyond all price.

Pennsylvania Commission Acts ! Against Rate Increase. | CHARLESTON, W. Va, July 12.— | Higher tarift rates on steel and iron products proposed by the Baltimore and Ohio railroad and Pennsylvania | railroad were suspended in a ruling | announced yesterday by the State |public service commission. Similar | orders were ‘entered simultaneously | by utilities commissions of Ohio, | Pennsylvania, New York and Mary- land. it was announced at the com- mission offices here. This action fol- |lowed a joint hearing in Pittsburgh | with the Interstate Commerce Com- | mission. - Better Business Is not necessarily more business. A stable, con- tinuous cooperation between buyer and seller--- between the merchant and the housewife---is the true sense of Better Business. Truth in Advertising is a prerequisite to Befter Business. But to achieve the proper understanding advertising must not only be technically truthful but must inspire confidence. Confidence is the foundation of human society. Without confidence between people civilization could not last. Without the confidence of his public a merchant cannot permanently succeed. The Better Business Bureau is working for Better Business, first through technical and absolute Truth in Advertising and second by suggesting and recom- mending ways and means by which advertising may build greater public confidence. of Washington D. .
