Policemen Stop Wagons From Pass.

Policemen stationed at every cross
street within block of st. Barnabas'
Protestant Episcopal church attracted
considerable attention. They were
stationed there 10 prevent milk wagons
from passing the church during serv-
ices, and their presence was the result
of u request made to Director Ritter
by Pastor James II. l.. Nesbitt. 1t was
found that law of 1904 prohibits
milkmen from distributing milk on
Sunday between the hours of Ga. IN.
and 5 p. m., and it was this law that
was enforced.
For some time past the congregation
of ST. Barnabas' has been greatly an
noycd by the noise of passing vehicles
during church hours, especially when
the weather is warm enough to have
the windows open. The streets at this
point are badly paved, both Oriana and
Dauphin streets still being cncum
bered with cobblestones of unique pat
tern, and tho noise made by passing
vehicles is very great. The law OF
1894 will be enforced strictly during
the summer months. - Philadelphia

The Ai.Pervndlns shirt waist.

There is a law Of compensation, and
1t will he fulfilled some day to the man
who hates the sight Of woman in a
shirt waist, if the thing that is always
promised comes to pass ut last, and
her skirt and shirt waist actually part
company. 1t is true that shirt waists
are not par:i .ularly pretty except cn
pretty girls, hut there is really no
sense in their r:aking every woman q
scarecrow. Here is an invar!able ru;e
for adjusting shirt waist suit, and
neatness will :e the actual result.
Draw the waist down in front to u
comfortable tigltness, and pm to the
corset with Jelt pin. Draw it down
the same way in the back and fasten
at the belt line to the corset string with
a tiny safety pin. Put Oh the skirt
having a band that Is tight tit. No
other band ought to be put ON dress.
Put the land under the skirt and pull
the waist down evenly all around, then
lift the band in the back little, and
with u long belt pin fasten to the cor
set string and the waist as we'll.
Stick belt pin through skirt and
waist on each side, then put on your

For your frotection.-Catarrh "Cures" or
TONES for Catarrh in liquid form to be taken
internally, usually contain either Mercury or
Iodide Of Potassa, or both, which are injur-
ious if too long taken. Catarrh is a local, not
blood disease, caused by sudden change to
cold or damp weather. 1t starts in the nasal
passages, affecting eyes, ears and throat.
Cold in the head causes excessive flow of
mucus, and, if repeatedly neglected, the re-
suits of catarrh will follow; severe pain in
the head, a roaring sound in the ears, bad
breath, and oftentimes an offensive dis
charge. Theremedy should be quick to allay
inflammation and heal the membrane. Ely's
Cream Balm is the acknowledged cure for
these troubles and contains no mercury
nor any injurious drug. Price, sc cents.
