Despite the general depression of busi
ness throughout the country, Washing
ton merchants on the whole report fair
Christmas sales. . For the first time In
the history of local trade, none of the
larger stores will be open in the even
ings, in view of the eight-hour law for
women, affecting about 12,000 or 15,000
clerks.
Embarrassment from this law, how
ever, has been overcome partially by the
"shop early- campaign conducted by the
Retail Merchants' Association, and with
but three days left before Christmas the
association still Is advising purchasers to
buy early in the morning and afternoon
hours.
Andrews' Sales Larger.
In speaking of Christmas trade. R. P.
Andrews, president of the merchants" as
sociation, said: "Our sales already are
larger than In December, 113, due to the
shop early campaign conducted by the
"Jeetall Merchants' Association. Per
sonally, I feel , th shop early campaign
has been more heneflclv.1 this year than
In the past, and whether from the effect
of a larger circulation, owing to the war
news, or from other causes, I do not
know. But certainly we have felt th
pulling power of our advertising more
this year than in the past.
"While I cannot speak for the rank
and flle of the merchants of our associa
tion, generally. I ran say for ourselves
that our business up to the present time
not only Is as good as In 113. but is bet
ter. !:
Secretary Columbus, or the Retail UiWr
chants' Association, said: "We had one
week of bad weather, which Interfered
severely with people getting out, but dur
ing last week business has been very
good. The public seemed to start In Sat
urday to make their larger purchases.
and the big stores enjoyed a line day's
-business, although possibly some people
were detained at borne by the Inclement
weather.
Stem Well Slackest.
"Probably never before In the history
of Washington have stores been so well
stocked with holiday goods. The fact
that the war rame on in August induced
many merchants to place orders In Amer
ica for goods they previously had ordered
abroad, fearing that on account of the
war those goods would not arrive. Much
to the surprise of the merchants, these
goods have come to Washington, and so,
therefore, an unusual stock to select from
Is to be had.
The fact that President Wilson de
clined to grant the half-holiday asked for
in order to relieve the conditions brought
about by the eight-hour law for female
employes has been a keen disappointment
to the merchants of Washington. The
public generally is urged to do Its shop
ping In the morning hours, and especially
before 4:30 o'clock in the afternoon. In
order to relieve crowded conditions."

Baby of Future
is Considered
Much thought has been given in late
years to the subject of maternity. In
the cities there are
maternity hospitals
equipped with mod
em methods. But
most women prefer
their own homes and
In the towns and vil
lages must prefer
them. And since
this Is true we know
from the great many
splendid letters writ
ten on the subject that our "Mother's
Friend" Is a great help to expectant
mothers. They write of the wonderful
relief, how It seemed to allow the
muscles to expand without undue strain
and what a splendid influence It was on
the nervous system. Such helps as
'Mother's Friend" and the broader
knowledge of them should have a helpful
influence upon babies of the future.
In a little book for such women these
points are more thoroughly brought out
and a copy will be mailed to anyone who
will send us their name and address.
"Mother's Friend" Is sold In all drug
stores and highly recommended for Its
timely usefulness. Its safeness and the
real help It affords. Ask for It at the
store and write us for the book. Brad
