NUMBER "sxrEEN.s


In his history of New York, one OF
the classics of American authorship,
Diedrick Knickerbocker washington
Irving) wrote lovingly, yet with unc-
tuous sarcasm, of the beauties and
traditions Of his loved "Nieu Neither
lands,' the peaceful valley Of the
Hudson from Albany to Manhattan,
the many legends with which the en-
tire region abounds-notably that Of
Rip Van Wrinkle and his long sleep
and of the ancient names and families
whose descendants are still power in
that locality. So far reaching were
the effects of the History" that in
time the name "Knickerbocker" be-
came the popular one for the patron
saint of New York City, he usually be-
ing represented as a benignant old
German of ample girth, clutching
firmly the long stemmed clay pipe
which Irving immortalized and gazing
over his beloved city.
Recognizing the vein Of sentiment
in the American people long ago a
train service was inaugurated to New
York from st. Louis to which Father
KnicHerbocker lent his name and
through the efforts Of the line which
introduced the service, the "Knicker-
booker Special has become as famiI-
lar to the average Travelled American
as to residents OF his own City. Leav-
ing st. Louis at noon the traveller is
borne swiftly and safely to Father
Knickerbocker' abode, traversing by
daylight those scenes with which he
was so familiar, arriving at New York
the next day in time for a leisurely
preparation for evening.
So popular has the service proven
that the Big Four has started a new
train as a companion, it leaving st.
Louis at 500 a. m, receiving all West
ern and Southwestern connections and
arriving In New York at z:55 the
next day. This train is known as the
New York and Boston Limited but

The Best Prescription Is Grove
TasteIess Chill Tonic.
The Formula Is Plainly Printed on Every Bottle
So That the People May Know Just
What They Are Taking.

Imitators do not advertise their formula
knowing that you would not buy their medi-
cine if you knew what it contained. Groves
contains Iron and Quinine put up in correct
proportions and is in Tasteless form. The
Iron acts as a tonic while the Quinine drives
the malaria out of the system. Any reliable
druggist will tell you that Groves is the
Original and that all other so-called esTaste-
less" chill tonics are limitations. An analysis
of other chill tonics shows that Groves is
superior to all others in every respect. You are
not experimenting when you take Grove's-its
superiority and excellence having long been
established. Groves is the only Chill Cure sold
throughout the entire malarial sections of the
United States. No Cure, No Pay. Price, soc.

IN Paris, France, beautiful fine hui
man hair of fashionable color is sold
for as much as $3.50 pound by dealers
who cater to the aristocracy. Most OF
this hair comes from Brittany, where
peasant women and girls annually
have their hair cut on and sold to trav-

very little in return, the merchant
usually paying in kind-exchanging a
gaudy shawl, hashy shirt or bodice, a
bright ornament, for the heavy tresses.
