miss a great deal of very interesting

tisement is the effort of the successful
business man. 1t tells of bargains to
be had at his store, and 1t gives busi-

is back in Chicago frequenting the same
clubs that knew him of old, but in a
different capacity. He is now selling
cigarettes to the club stewards, and out
of the business he makes a living.
There have been men in Americawho
have gotten rid of larger fortunes in
less time than it took BILLY" Camp to
spend his million, but they did not spend
it all. They lost it either at stock
gambling or some other form of spec
ulation. Young Vanderbilt is credited
with disposing of nearly half million
in New York gambling den in less than
a week this winter But Camp spent
at least the greater part of his money. 1t
went for wine, for expensive dinners,
for theater parties, for clothes, and a
small part of it at cards. During the
four years of his reign he was a mem
Der of nearly all the exclusive clubs of
Chicago. At all of them, and at the
more fashionable hotels, he gave ex-
pensive dinner parties. He maintained
an elaborate home in the city, where his
first wife presided over a small regi-
ment of servants. But his wife, like his
friends, left him when the million was
gone. He married again, but he married
as a poor man, and now claims to be en-
joying his first taste of real happiness.
Camp is to-day 20 years old. He be-
gan his career of spendthrift at the
death of his father, one of the firm of
Estey & Camp, organ manufacturers
from whom he inherited an even mil
lion eight years ago. He has been sell
ing cigarettes four years, and has made
it win. AS salesman he has been sue
cessful, and he says he is getting more
enjoyment out of his present modest in
come than he did out of the 81 900 900 he
spent in four years.

this country, be-
lieves it possible to transport the pro-
duction from the Metropolitan opera
house in New York to the Auditorium.
1t is said that the great opera, the mas
terpiece which Wagner desired should
never be staged outside of Germany
could be put on at this largest of Chi
cago theaters with but few alterations
to the stage. To put the same piece on
in New York it was necessary to prac-
tically rebuild the theater at cost OF
$4,000, but the. expectations of Man
ager Conreid were fully realized, the pub
lie appreciated the production, and it
paid.
The pessimists do not believe the same
piece can be produced profitably in Chi
cago. Grau never found grand opera
in Chicago particularly profitable, and
threatened at several times to cut the
city out of his itinerary. The city's
music lovers are found among the COL
lege students, or the poorer classes, and
it is notable fact that the balconies
and galleries are more crowded at grand
opera performances than the higher
priced seats on the main floor.

RELY UPON HYOMEI
Cures Colds, Coughs, Catarrh and Grip.
Just Breathe It.

Hyomei is natures own method
for curing catarrh, colds, coughs
and diseases Of the respiratory
organs. 1t is the only natural
treatment for the cure Of these
troubles.
Breathed through the neat pocket
inhaler that comes with every
outfit, the air that passes into the
throat and lungs, is identical with
that on the mountains, where it is
laden with healing and health-giv-
ing balsams. 1t searches out and
kills disease germs in the most re-
mote and minute air cells of the
head, throat and lungs, it soothes
and heals all irritation of the
mucous membrance.
Hyomei is prescribed by physicians
generally. Many of them use it
themselves to break up cold and
prevent pneumonia.
The complete Hyomei outfit con-
sists of neat inhaler, that is so
small and convenient that it can
be carried in the pocket or purse,
a medicine dropper and a bottle of
Hyomei. This costs but ST., and
it will cure any ordinary case of
catarrh. In chronic and deep
seated conditions, longer use is
necessary and extra bottles of
Hyomei can be obtained for Soc,
making it a most economical treat
ment for this disease.
J. T. Bennett has so much con-
fidence in the power of Hyomei to
cure catarrh and other diseases OF
the throat and lungs that they sell il
under their personal guarantee to
refund the money to any purchaser
in case it fails to give satisfaction.
They take all the risk themselves,
and Hyomei costs you absolutely
nothing unless it does you good.

ognized the value OF
vested choirs as attractions. Though
aside from the Episcopalians, there are
but few of the Protestant church which
employ youthful singers as feature OF
their music, many of them have gotten
away from the idea of utilizing quar-
tette of trained voices exclusive OF all
other singing, and while the quartettes
are still utilized, they are, as rule, but
leaders for either congregational or gen.
eral choir singing.
Both the Catholic and Episcopal
churches have found the public prefer
volume to quality. 1t is the exceptional
church-goer who prefers the highly
trained soloist to the harmony produced
by a large choir, even though only fair
ly proficient The Episcopal churches
have, as rule, retained the boys in thei1
choirs, but many of the Catholic
churches, except for special church fes-
tival occasions, had instituted CIR,
choirs, but to comply with the order
from Rome the girls have now given
place to boys. The Gregorian method is
too heavy for the girls voices.
One of the most notable choirs of Chi
cago is that of Dowie's Christian Cath
Ollie church, consisting Of 1000 voices
During the months that Dowie held
services in the Auditorium theater each
Sunday afternoon, this choir was far
greater drawing card than the sermons
of the general overseer It now sings
each Sunday in the temple at Zion City.

hardly be expected that the city will
continue to maintain the percentage OF
growth it has known in the past. From
1910. when the first Chicago census was
taken, until 1890, the city more than
doubled it's population each ten years.
In the latter year it passed the 100000
mark, and in the next ten years added
more than 100000 to it's total of popula-
ton.
One evidence that the city is still
growing rapidly is the demand for
houses flats and apartments. Real es-
tate and renting agencies report such
rapid increase that they are unable to
supply the demand
The year preceding the opening OF
the worlds fair, 1902, was the banner
building year of the city, both in num-
Der of structures erected and the total
cost. During that year 1884 building
were built, costing $64,740800. Since
that time the average number OF build
ings per year has been 5000, though in
1900 the number dropped to but about
$500. For the first ten months OF, last
year there were erected 5,214 buildings
costing $29,265 900. The total for the
year fell little below that of the year
previous. The present year has started
out with greater activity in the building
trades than has been known for some
time, and as conditions in the labor field
seem to be satisfactory to the workers.
the building boom will in all probability
continue until well into the fall. at
least.

q Time lice courts during
the past three or
four weeks. One of the peculiarities of
Chicago is that, as a rule, but one ordi-
nance can be enforced at time. A year
ago it was the one relating to the dump
ing of garbage upon the streets. For
some three weeks at that time every po-
liceman was on the watch for the hap
less janitor who should thoughtlessly
sweep the dirt from the front steps of a
building into the street. To be caught
at that time in the violation of this i'm
portant ordinance meant sure trip to
the police station. To-day the ordinance
is forgotten, and but day or two ago
I saw one Of the guardians of the peace
pass a pleasant good morning with a
bartender of levee saloon as the dis
penser of drinks poured the accumulated
Stops of his bar over the sidewalk.
Nothing was thought of it, for the rea-
son that that particular ordinance was
not up for enforcement at the present
time.
Just now, in both the business and
residence districts, the refuse of the
city is being swept into the streets, and
there it is allowed to lie for the munich
pality is too poor to clean the thorough
fares. At the same time the hapless in
dividual who splits upon the sidewalks,
though they are covered with such a
mass of slush and mud that it is next to
impossible to tell where The sidewalks
end and the streets begin, is hauled be-
fore police justice and fined the Gus
tomary one dollar and costs that goes
with each offense.
