Read It in His Newspaper.

George Schaub, well known German citizen of New Lebanon, Ohio. is a con- stant reader of the Dayton Volkszeit- ung. He knows that this paper aims to advertise only the best in it's col- 'umns, and when he saw Chamberlains Pain Balm advertised therein for lame back, he did not hesitate in buying a bottle of it for his wife, who for eight weeks had suffered with the most ter rlble pains in her back and could get no relief. He says: After using the Pain Balm for a few days my wife said to me, I feel as though born anew and before using the entire contents of the bottle the unbearable pains had entire ly vanished and she could again take un her household duties" He is very thankful and hopes that all suffering likewise will hear of her wonderful re- covery.

A further evidence of the American
 ization of England is recorded in the
 dainty volume, "A Pinch of Snuff, " about to be issued by Lewis, Scrbner &5 CO, of New York, in which 1t is noted that the costly snuff boxes which are to be a feature of the coronation of King Edward will be filled with American snuff if the limited supply available is equal to the demand. It seems that the King, who is already a past master in the gentle art of snuff-taking and whose example is revivng it's use in fashionable circles, has discovered that the finest snuff in the world is produced in America. This snuff is made from a particular kind of perique tobacco which is grown only in two parishes of the state of Louisiana This perique snuff is practically unknown In Ameri- ca, all of it being taken by the fash ionable European trade. It is supplied regularly to Pope Leo, King Edward, Emperor William, the Sultan of Turkey and other crowned heads. As the mem bers of the court circles of Europe are faithful imitators of the Throne the in crease in the fashionable use of snuff will contribute directly to the prosper ity of at least one section of the United States.

FOR 4 "BRIDGE" PARTY.
HOW TO MAKE \ SPRING DIVERSION a De
IIGHTFUI. ENTERTAINMENT.

Bridge" has retired into comparative obscurity
during the crowded winter months. but as the end
of the season approaches there is little doubt that
II will emerge ready for spring diversion. So
much scandal was created last year by the heavy
losses at bridge" among men and women in pri-
vate houses that the best people are now setting
the example Of moderation.
Some hostesses have abolished money stakes en-
tirely and substitute prizes, where the same peo-
pie meet frequently play bridge These are
bought from a pool, TO which every player con-
tributes a small sum. From this fund the prizes
for the next meeting arc purchased, and furnish
the incentive that cards TO require. These
are distributed in the usual way-one TO the wom-
an and one TO the man with the highest score-and
a consolation prize TO the makers Of the lowest
score.
Where the game is not one Of a series by the
same players the hostess provides the prizes
1t is said TO be certain that gambling IN private
houses is to be longer considered permissible
There is a feeling that II is hardly "chvalrous for
