ed in their efforts to recapture the
cup which the Americans have held
for so many years. To this end a new
challenger has been sent over and the

medicine in the world for curing all
stomach, bowel and kidney disorders
is the famous Hostetter's Stomach

found very beneficial as tonic. also
to keep the bowels regular, without
which you cannot enjoy good health.

store the appetite, purify the blood,
promote sound sleep. and positively
cure fiatulency, nausea, heada che,

An Ala TO Grace.

Every woman would like to be grace
full, but very few woman are by ma
ture as graceful as they might be If
they would take a little trouble in the
matter. English women, as a rule, are
far behind French and Italian ladies
in grace of bearing, and the reason
probably is that their bodies are not
so carefully trained.
In Spain and Italy women of the
higher class are generally expert
swordswOmen, for they esteem fencing
as one of the best possible athletic ex-
ercises, valuable alike for giving
strength and grace to the body and
alertness to the mind. Young girls,
therefore. are taught to fence as care
fully as their brothers and as accurate
~, and there are many schools where
ladies practice not only with the foils,
but with the broadsword.
In America a few women of the
Smart set" and q number of the
younger actresses delight in fencing,
but this form of athletics is by no
means as popular as 1t deserves to be
among the girls. and yet those few who
take it up not only derive great phys
ical benefit from it, but find 1t a most
fascinating and exhilarating exercise.

matchless means which the master
physician has brought to the aid of
science; that the attention of the
whole civilized world is now drawn to
the unceasing wonder of results, in
wolves no mystery.
To the rare gift of healing has been
added the rarest opportunities and
training, and the cures of the great "
Ray doctors are but the natural tri-
umphs of their lives.
DIR. Horne wishes to emphasize the
fact that during the summer months
chronic diseases of whatever nature
are cured in one-half the time that
would be required during the inclem-
ent winter weather. Nature lends her
aid to the physician and cures are
accomplished at this season of the
year in n comparatively short time.
DR.HORNE CURING THE SICK.
Each week, standing boldly out
from amidst the failures of others,
DR.. Horne publishes the names and
addresses of people cured, people well
known in the community, people
whose standing forbids the thought
of their lending their names to any
but an honest statement. The people
ask themselves, what does this mean,
and the answer impresses itself up
on them with a force that compels
conviction. Nothing but merit and
real conscientious work could pro-
duce such results and make such a
record as this.
FREE X-RAY EXAMINATION
DR.. Horne never accepts a case
unless he knows to a certainty the
cause of the trouble, and this can only
be determined by a scientific eXamin-
alton. His X-Ray outfit is the most
elaborate and complete in this coun-
try. By his special microscopic at
tachment he is able to examine all
parts of the body and find out to an
absolute certainty the cause of the
patients affection. Come and be eX-
amined; it is absolutely free. He will
not charge you one cent. Come and
| find out what your trouble is and he
will advise you in reference to cure.
1t is all free. He asks no compensa-
! ton.

Rubh1e Rlowing For Benuty.

Physical culturists say that blow
ing bubbles is the most entertaining
way of doing the deep breathing exer-
else now so widely recommended to
improve health and figure, and also
that the practice, If adhered to, will
round out followed cheeks and i'm
prove the contour of the scrawny or
too chubby throat. To blow bubbles
seriously take clay pipe, dip il in
soapy water and blow as large IA bub-
bic as you can while seated. This
must be done slowly and gradually or
the bubble will burst. Then stand and
do the same exercise when 1t has be-
come quite easy. Now lie fiat on your
back on the floor, with shoulders well
back and chin as high as possible, and
blow your bubbles in this position.
Another exercise Is to lie fiat on your
face on a small square table, with feet
extended and head and shoulders well
back, then blow your bubbles. In
both the last exercises it is well to first
blow the bubble slowly and then bub-
BILE after bubble as quickly as possible.

Hnrv To Boil Ham.

1t is not nearly so easy as 1t looks to
boil ham in such manner as to retain
its juiciness and good flavor, and yet
there are few things more delicious
than plain boiled ham when properly
cooked. After selecting a ham, we
will say, in the case of a small family,
one weighing seven pounds, it should
be soaked in cold water for twenty
four hours. This will reduce the ex-
IRENE saltiness disagreeable to some
palates. Next dry with a towel, put
it in a pot, cover with cold water and
boil steadily for three hours. Remove,
take off the upper skin and dredge
while hot with sifted bread crumbs,
decorating the shank, If you choose,
with paper ruffle. Then lay the ham
In a roasting pan and brown in slow
oven, which should take about twenty
minutes. Garnish with parsley and
serve.

better, but they also state that these

MOLINE MENTION

With $50 in cash stolen in the sa-
loon of John a. Carlson, at 1912 Third
avenue, two burglars experienced
very narrow escape from capture by
Officers Lee and Clair Tuesday night.
The policemen fired three shots and
gave them chase for several blocks,
but the darkness and the shade trees
along the street assisted them in their
escape. Officer Lee, in company with
Officer Clair, went past Manufactur-
ers' hotel at 1890 o'clock and Lee
went back in the alley to try all the
doors of the stores on Third avenue.
When walking towards the rear door
of Carlson's saloon two men met him
and spoke to him, but he paid no at
tention to them and tried the door.
When the door opened he suspected
something wrong and Immediately
doubled back to where Officer Clair
was standing and they gave chase to
the strangers. The chase led along
Sixteenth street to Railroad avenue
and east to Seventeenth street. Here
Officer Lee called to them to halt, but
they only ran faster and then the Off
GERS fired. They were running along
together, and near Fifth avenue one
of the fugitives lodged in yard and
disappeared. The other man kept
straight ahead and the officers lost
track of him at Eighth avenue.
