EASY WAY TO CURE cATARRH

Since the new theater which Mir Hardwick is building near the corner of Washington street and Third ave nue, for Manager Stechan, has as- sumed it's massive proportions and beautiful outlines many of MT. Stech- ans patrons have asked what name he intends to bestow on the new house and as this is a matter of consider able public interest, he has decided to let the public, or those who take an interest in the matter give it its name. He has evolved a unique way in winch to decide this question.
 Any resident of Phoenix or its sub urbs, or any person in, Arizona who has visited Phoenix. and while here has attended the theater. may have an opportunity to take part in the honor of giving permanent name to the new theater by simply writing the name he or she desires plainly on a !. slip of paper, placing their signature and address beneath and mailing the same to Manager Stechan, clo Doris theater, Phoenix, Arizcna. Manager Stechan reserves the right to be the judge. To the one who suggests the most appropriate name, Manager Stechan will give a complimentary season pass. All other slips will be placed in a receptacle and in the pres ence of a committee to be hereafter named. To the signer of every fifth slip drawn therefrom will be mailed a single complimentary ticket. As the free list will be entirely abolished at the new theater the holders of the cnly "complimentaries,' aside from helping the naming of the new theater may consider themselves somewhat t favored.

POLLOCK STOPS 1T.
Prevents Attorneys from Com
plicating New Era Stores.

Judge Pollock of the United States

fused to permit the receiver of the

take possession of the New Era stores
in the city, because of the claim set
forth that Mr.. Spear is their possessOr-

than that Mrs. Grear claims owner
ship, and the court felt that it would
be wrong to simply take this property
away from the people who control it
at the present time, until the trustee
should make proper Investigations and
thoroughly convince himself on the
subject
William Sterne is the receiver. The
application this morning was argued
and pepared by w. S. McClintOck of
this city and James Street Of St
Joseph, as attorneys. After the case
was finished. a number of the lawyers
talked quite freely about the applica-
ton as a mean injustice to Mrs.
Grear. The facts in the case are that
Mrs Grear and her relatives were not
notified that an application would be
made to take the property from them
today. They were subpoenaed yester-
day morning to appear as witnesses
and not as defendants.
Judge Pollock stated that it was the
duty of the trustee to look into the
at the present time. For that pur-
pose, said Judge Pollock, "the trus-
tee is appointed. On next Wednesday
when the creditors nleet, he will be
chosen, and if he thinks that these
New Era stores belong to Mr.. Spear
he can bring an action. 1t is not the
thing TO do now, to order those stores
put into the hands of the receiver.
That matter must be handled in the
regular manner"
While James Street argued that the
action this morning was simply an ap-
plication for instructions, the court
OWNED the real import, that IL should
order the possession of the stores into
the hands Of the receiver and this it
denied After the case was over Mr.
Street said: This entire matter Will
have to be taken before the court any
how at a later time, and thought to
bring it up now"
The application did not only charge
that Spear owned the two New Era
stores but further said that he took

than 81, 900 for which no accounting
has been given.

I believe in specializing so far as q
girls education is concerned. It should
be the aim of the mother and of the
teacher to learn where the girls great
est talent lies and to direct it along
that channel. Every girl should be
given, first, the rudiments of educa-
ton and then taught the practical
things. such as how to cook and buy
ordinary meats and vegetables. She
should be taught all that pertains to
home, and then, to fit her for the time
when she shall meet the right man OF
supposing she does not marry at all
she should have her strongest talent
cultivated as much as possible in order
that she may have a means of Hveli-
hood.
There is a great deal, too. in the at
mosphere of a school. Give me one
where the girls are taught to concen-
trate their minds and to think for them
selves. That is the great trouble witt

The hair is dressed much smaller and
in such a way that it reveals the artis-
tic lines of the head instead of the un-
tidy and often unsightly pompadour,
which was the most conspicuous thing
about a woman, to the exclusion of her
face and her expression. There are
pompadours still. but they are modest
affairs which merely frame the face
instead of overshadowing it.

The waist wern with the black cloth
