THEY QUALIFIED TT.

The sensitiveness Of the families OF
distinguished men as to the early oc-
equations Of their ancestors is some
what remarkable. Recently an author
was asked to write brief history of
the life OF man who had done some
service to his State. Like Lincoln, this
man had been a wood chopper, fact
to which his historian gave prominence.
Don't say he was "a wood chopper"
said the spokesman for the family.
That will never do"

In Unison With Circular Skirt
A stylish visiting toilette for the
early days of autumn is of rich dahlia
broadcloth trimmed with braid; the
sleeves, waist and shirt express the
very latest dicta of Fashion; the hat
corresponds in tone with the toilette

Good Looks.

There are more wrinkles in the face
of baby monkey than there are in
that of an old baboon. And speaking
of wrinkles, more of them can he
wrought out in fair, young face by
neuralgia than will be found in that of
an aged person. Constant pain will
shrivel, and neuralgia neglected will
plow its burrows deep. 1t not only
wrinkles. but takes the bloom away
and gives the skin dull and yellow
look. st. Jacobs Oil is a prompt and
sure cure for neuralgia. and 1t should
be used, as while it soothes and cures
ii smoOths out the tracks Of pain and
leaves the skin healthy and fair again;
besides it ribs the sufferer of much
torment and restores happier dispO-
sltion. Good looks come only with good
health. and health is found in the alb
sence of pain.
