EVERY woman wants a good COM

physical culture teacher. Like
everything else worth having, this has
its place. The present prevalence,
even among very young women, OF the
use of makeup not only the time
honored powder puff but paint, paste,
enamel and innumerable cosmetics, is
directly traceable to the increasing APP

gences of which our grandmothers
never dreamed There are few things,
except deadly poisons, which cannot
be partaken Of advantageously. if in
moderation. But there is nothing, not

of the skin resultant from continued
imbibing. One would think that vanity

that it is smart to order drinks in
public places seems to have created
almost a fad to be seen in the act.
Not only on this side of the water, but
in London, is the unfeminine and I'M

that city, so famous for it's beautiful
compilations, is said to be in some

New Fall Waists.

Pretty things in fall shirtwaists are
out, and many of those in flannel will
wash One attractive variety is strip
ed Saxony flannel finishing with two
instead of one plat at the opening in
front. These plaits are comparatively
narrow, the two inside edges meeting
in the center of the front. Down each
of the plaits is row of smart buttons.
Another attractive waist that will
also wash without doubt is a black and
white check of. medium weight. This
waist also has two rows of buttons
down the front, most attractive ones,
too, fancy buttons in delicate French
portraits, a row of powdered haired
maidens in one side and row of be-
wigged and powdered youths on the
other. The coloring of these is so deli
cate that the buttons are not unduly
conspicuous.

The first part of each session was taken
up with class exercises in dumbbelIs and
Indian clubs and the latter half was given
up to individual work on the various ma

girls from the grammar and high schoo

INTERESTING ANNOUNCEMENT
TO OUR MANY FRIENDS AND
PATRONS.

Fully realizing the fact that our
city is rapidly growing and our popu-
lation constantly increasing, 1t be-
comes nece ssary to introduce new
metho DDS to meet the demands that
must necessarily be made upon us to
meet this changed condition.
Beginning at the bottom about
twenty years ago, we have seen ou'
city grow and our business increase tc
such an extent that 1t is no longer pos
sible to cater to the wants Of our many
patrons living in different parts of the
city without increasing our facilities.
We have not found it necessary to
create trust or combine Of any kind,
but simply to purchase several stores
located in different parts of the city,
stock them with high grade and up
to-date groceries that can be pur-
chased for cash at a saving of at
least 20 per Otut.
You can readily understand that ii
would be utterly impossible for us
to make this concession to the con-
sumner IL we were not enabled to
purchase our goods in large quanti-
ties direct from the manufacturer for
cash, thereby giving the purchaser the
benefit of the middleman's profit.
Our delivery system will be thor
ough, and we guarantee prompt de-
livery in every instance. All of our
stores will be opened to the public be-
tween the LIST and 18th day of Janu-
airy, 1908, under the new system, and
q cordial invitation will be extended
to the public to call and afford us the
opportunity to demonstrate the truth
of every statement made in this an
nouncement.
We can scarcely express our graft
tude to the people of Paducah for the
liberal patronage extended us for the
past twenty years, and shall use our
utmost endeavor by fair dealing and
strict compliance With every promise
to merit continuance in the future.
We would respectfully ask our pat.
rons and the public generally to give
our cash system . fair trial, feeling
certain that = saving of at least %
per cent will be the result
Wishing all q Merry Christmas and
a Happy New Year. we remain,
Yours truly,

perennial condition of Yeiser park,
which is the court house yard. 1t is
regretted that this step became neces-
sary, for it does not speak we'll for the

that it Will probably do no good, and

that result in the grass being trsmped
