l The graduate of a good business
college has an advantage over ordinary
competitors not so equipped. 1t would
take years to learn by experience what

Much of it would never be learned,

practical instruction which make a

which are peculiar to that institution.

Does Your Rorse Like to be Curried ?

If you want to see your horse stand
still while being curried, and purr like
kitten, use one of these Spring Curry
Combs advertised on another page.
This Comb is made of four loops of a
clock spring. The yielding loops of
the spring make the Comb soft as the
touch of a gentle hand, and yet they
allow the teeth to get down into the
hollows and folds of the skin, so that
the horse is cleaned quickly and thor
oughly. And for the horse the opera
ton is changed from one of barbarous
torture to one OF supreme delight.
This Comb is sold for only IS cents,
and is to be found in almost every
retail store in the land. 1t is made by
the Spring Curry Comb Co. of South
Bend, Ind. You will find their name
stamped on the handle.

And Notwithstanding the temporary
success of the calamity howlers the
coke workers of the Connellsville re-
glon are again on the strike.
The Mcclure company, suspecting
that strike agitators were at work
among their men, have shut down one
hundred and fifty ovens and laid the
suspected agltators off. The price of
coke has advanced from eighty.fiye
cents to prices ranging from ST. to
$3.50 and S. per ton. There has.
however, been no corresponding ad-
vance in wages as was the agreement
when the men returned to work. That
the operators are expecting conflict
is evident by the fact that they are
storing coke as rapidly as possible.

Immediately beneath. The building

directions.
The fire department was summoned
and the janitor rushed into the base
ment, where Clara Diebold, of Fort
Wayne, Edith Masters, of Auburn,
and Lille Anders, of Lego, were
found enveloped in flames. Their
strieks of agony were horrible. The
fire in the building was smoth cred
out as quickly as it came. The victims
of the explosion were hurried to St.
Joseph's hospital. Misses Diebold
and Masters are probably fatally
burned. One of the girls lighted
match in the closet, which was filled
with gas, and an explosion resulted.
The natural gas pipes leaked into a
Sc wer near the seminary and filled
the closet with the combustible fluid.
