PULLAR & NIVEN ONEPRICETOALL CASH OR, CREDIT “Yes, it's true” sald ' Mr. Christ, 1bcal manager of The Mgnter Com- pany in an interview yesterday. “We have oun our priees plainly marked on the price tag of every gar- ment in our store and whether. you pay spot cash or buy on Menter's easy terms, the prices is exactly the same.” “As ygu probahly know, The Men- ter Company is a big concern oper- ating 87 very prosperous stores throughout the United States. The purchasing power that these stores give us is 80 great“that we\can afford to mark our garments at lleast as low as cash ‘sto “This being the case, we Jo not feel like discriminating agaihst . pgople ‘who enjoy the convenience of b \. and paying in small divided paynient ‘and we are not going to do it.” ..“Just for example, any man or wo- man who wants a Spring sult for $15 caniget it here for $1.00 down and $1:00 a week. If the ‘same " person pald.cash for the same suit it would be $15 and not a penny less.” ; “That’s the Menter idea and we know it's &’'good one for we have many cash customers who would not come to' us if they could get better values elsewhere.” The Menter Co. store is located at 316 Trumbull Street, Hartford. “We do as we advertise” is its hon- est slogan.

FORSHAW NOT T00 OLD FOR FIGHTING| Fought Under Union Jack, Now Willing to: Serve’ U. 5. Honoring Old Glory, his adopted flag, and recalling past' days under the Union Jack| days in the service of Old England on the sea, ag a member of the Royal Engineers in many a far distant clime and in restoring order in barbarian Zululand, R, H. Forshaw, familiarly known as the “Father of ‘Westwood Park,” and well known builder, is- daily preaching a sermon of patriotism and putting to shame those who are attempting to shirk military duty upon techmical pretexts and, in his opinion, fail to show proper respect to the flag that protects them and their homes. Although be- yond the ordinary military age, he expresses/ himself as more than willing to answer any call of the United States, when men of his age are needed, notwithstanding that he has already/given three sons to the colors, has already served more than a dozen Years under the flag of Old Emngland and has a family dependent upon him: In addition to this, he is to volunteer his servi to the federal authorities to speak any of the local rallies as to why men of eligible age -should enlist for'duty and not try to avold being pressed into service. Reluctant as to personal credit for any effort in the cause, he adrhits that he is willing to ald in the arranged rallles to stimulate recruiting, . whether ar- ranged for a Sunday night or some other night. In the past, he has as- sisted in somewhat similar campaign: and is known as a fluent and con- vincing speaker. Nearly fifteen years under the Unton Jack, such service as to it in his promotion t6 a ser- geancy with commendation, indicates that he is not speaking from a view- point of theory but of personal know- ledge and experience, “The minute that the United States will take or needs men of my age,” ‘he said 'last night “I will be among first to volunteer. The country’s call to the colors, as an emergency call, to defend our homes or to de- fend the cause of humanity and right in forelgn ,climes, should mnot be ignored. There should be no need of forcible methods to secure an abun- dance of recruits for all branches of the service. It s patriotism to obey the ‘eall; it is, well a harsh name, to refuse of to await the compulsory call. I am willing and anxious now, if the country needs and legalizes mq of my| &ge to defend its honor and the honor of humanity, to be among the first to respond.” Mr. Forshaw has two sons, Fred and R. H. Forshaw Jr., now in Uncle Sam’s navy ready to flght for the /breaking of the U-boat campaign and against Teuton barbarism. Another son was a membper of the crew of the Rhode Island in fts'memorable cruise around the world, a member of the same crew represented by Leon Edgar Andrews of 477 Arch street, scheduled to be omne of the speakers at the Sunday night, and other recruiting rallies. , Saw His Brother Die. Mr. Forshaw knows the horrors of war, as well as the sentimental side. In far-distant parts of the world he has been one of the representatives of | the Union, Jack to receive the ovation of the populace. On many a hard- fought battlefield he . been one of the band of brave on¢s to help in the victory or to be among the tem- porarily defeited, one of the many to hear the cries of the wounded, the agony of the dying and. to view. the sight of the dead. He is one of four brothers to fight under the Union Jack of England. In far-of Zululand he was by the side of his brother, Thomas, when the latter received a fatal wound, dying far away from his loved ones among strange faces, with the roar of battle in his ears and the strange sights of forelgn settings before him as he started out om the last long journey. Mr. Forshaw makes one emphatic' objection to the present system and believes that it is s .great drawback to recruiting. That is the procedure whereby . those supported by volun- teers have to apply, and unwind or cause the unwinding of much red tape, for the state aild supplied by the lexlsht\lre “The same as any pauper,” he says, “the dependant of a soldier, one who should be most highly honored during these days, one who is making a supreme sacrifice and risking life and loved ones, has to apply to a public charfties depart- ment, the same as a pauper, to se- cure the necessities of life, prevent eviction from rent and to secure med- ical aid. 'No won there are not more enlistments, no wonder many a man thinks long before he will give up a good-paying position to answer to the call to the colors. He may be patriotic, he may want to rectify the wrongs of his country and humanity but he: remembers the wife, perhaps .an aggd mother, and kiddies at home- If théy were provided for, he would feel content, he would give his serv- ices gladly and be one whom. the country needs. But he glances at the paper providing that the one depend- ant on a soldier must make applica- tion to the public charities depart- ment as a preliminary unwinding of the red tape necessary to secure money needed to provide the necessi- ties of life. He halts, he ponders and, it is only natural decides that others can make the sacrifice before his loved ones will be subjected to applying for aid at a public charitles department. In’ . England he. explains, the ment peys military ald direct without & great display of red tape, without any indignity being thrust on worthy ones and makes it an honor instead of charity, when the bread winner of the country is undergoing hardships In camp or on battlefleld. He ‘believes that the soldier, unaware as to how his loved ones are going to get along, suffers as much as the ones Hope Almost Abandoned When She Dr Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin Relieves Chronic Case of Long Standing. After a long period of suffering with liver and bowel trouble that brought on piles, during which she had tried many remedies without obtaining re- liet, Mrs. Mary J. Jewell, of Berrien Springs, Mich., heard of Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin and obtained a bottle from her druggist. This simple, inex- pensive laxative compound brought almost immediate relief and Mrs. Jewell wrote to Dr. Caldwell about her case. In her letter Mrs. Jewell says, I had tried so many things for the piles, without being helped at ‘all, I had about given up hope of ever being any better. I knew it was the condition of my bowels that caused them, and after I had taken a bottle of your Syrup Pepsin I knew it was justithe melti- cine I needed. I am very grateful to you for sending me the little book— the advice and instructions it gives would teach anyone how to get well’ and how to keep well.” Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is a combination of simple laxative herbs with pepsin, free from opiate or'nar- cotic drugs, and is mild and gentle in its action, bringing relief in an easy, Found Remedy natural way, without griping, or other pain or discorfifort. + Drugsgists everywhere sell Dr. Cald- well’'s Syrup Pepsin for fifty cents a bottle. To avoid imitations and ine: fective substitutes be sure you get Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. See that a facsimile of Dr. Caldwell’s signature and his portrait appear on the yellow carton in which the bottle is packed. A trial bottle, free of charge, can be obtained by writing to Dr. W. B.

Sending an army across to help, he believes, is not the only thing to be considered. ‘“‘Consider the mes left at home without ‘the bread- er,” he says, “and make pro- visions so that they will not have to Ipply to a public charities depurt ment.” FIRE IN OIL VAT. Fire in a vat of oil'in the Skinner Chuck company’s building on Church street resulted ih a still alarm for En- gine Co. No. 2 at 6:08 last night, The automatic sprinkler. system. had flooded the vat and partially checked the flames prior to the arrival of the firemen. There was little ' damage.

Women Steady Workess. It used to be said ‘that womien could not be; depunded upon like men to work ' steadily,’ and, consequently, ought not to expect so much pay‘as men employed at-similar work.
