in support of the indepehdcnt presi-

declared that "one of the funda-
mental issues in this campaign is
the high cost of living as it was in
1912. when \Voodrow \Viison clearly
defined it in understandable terms."
"Shall the people of America con-
tinue to be subjected to the control
of the special interests which crack
the whip in the corridor of the capi-
tol swagger in the \Vhitc House. dic-
tate appointments in the cabinet, and
control the markets of the country?"
asked Mr. LaFollette. "These pow-
ers have been in control. otherwise
we would not have had a Palmer or

nation.‘

IiaFollette declared there had been).
“false basis of reckoning the ad-
vance in living costs - "l the
campaign.”
"1 iv ing costs." he said "started to
mount in 1897, artificially increased
by the high tariff law and the
strangling of competition. We
should therefore compare the buying
power of the dollar today with what
it was then. If we do we find forty
coma in 1909 would buy more neces-
sities of life than :1 will purchase

PALACE.
Changing Husbands.
It is quite evident that there was
no serious intent behind the produc-
tion of “Changing Husbands,” the
new Paramount picture that opened
at the Palace Theatre last night
where it plays today and tomorrow.
It was made entirely in the comedy
vein for laughing purposes only.
And yet we have a feeling that every
girl who is married and every girl
Wants to be married is going to get
excited over this photoplay because
it deals with a fundamental feminine
problem; the question of getting the
most out of life. whether as a wife
or in pursuit of a. career. .

"Unguarded Women," which be—
gan a two days' run at. the Regent
Theatre yesterday succeesfully
proves two theories. It offers con-
clusive evidence that there are men
of honor still left in this world of
storm and strife; secondly it shows
that. certain members of the female
of the species absolutely need the.
strong will and protecting arm of an
honest. dependable man to guard
them agaist their own innate frivo-
lousness which is ever-ready to
plunge them into .the sea. of disaster.

Yes, a fourth to a third. It has the insulating value
of cork which means very little heat can pass
