TaE members of the Fort Henry are be-

"at the club Here they find congenial

the members. well, principally on ac-
count Of the difference in cost. AT the
cIup get everything at almost cost price,
very little if any profit being charged. II
cigars are $l4 per hundred, pay Ii cents
apiece for them, and not 20 or ID cents
as elsewhere. And So it is with otner
! things the club doesn't strive to

aches like You had been drunk on cham
pague for . week; eli your bones ache as
though YOU had severe spell OF tue
"break bone fever" You are un-
able TO see, and your oIiactOry
arrangements are OF so little use 10 YOU

distinguish cologne from aSafCtida. / GU"
ears are stopped up 80 that sounds near oy
seem mile away. and all the while there
is monster roaming IN your hedc thaI
gives the impression that the next door
6onse is a flcur mill with capacity OF TO-
600 barrels day, and in full blast Your
eyes water. your nose is working full time,
and your mouth is sometimes as dry as a
powder horn"
