Eleven Per Cent of the Deaths

200,000 Persons were killed by the recent 
Earthquake in Italy, and the nations of the 
world are aroused to noble self- 
: sacrifice in an endeavor to allay 
the sufferings. Yet fully as many are 
‘a killed here in United States alone each 
year from Tuberculosis. Think of it!

BUYING FINE 
ORIENTAL RUGS 
right is a solved problem; proof—In March 
I sold an antique ‘‘Veritable Tekke’’ for $35; 
antique Bergama, $200; extremely rare undoctored 
Kerman, $155; antique glossy and thick Kazaks 
as low as $60; antique Belooch, $25; antique Sara- 
band, $60; fine Tabriz, $85; antique Hamadan, 
$40; and rare antique carpets also at sane prices. 
I could sell ordinary Bokharas, Kazaks, Shir- 
vans, and others, from $15 to $25, but I do not 
carry doctored, nor shoddy stuff, nor other trash 
such as modern Oriental carpets.: 
I am a rug lover working for rug lovers; my 
monograph, ‘‘Fallacy and Fact,’ shows what I am 
doing for the ‘Square Deal’? among them. To 
others it is 25c; to those in sympathy it is free.
