The hydraci yeti is native of South
Africa, and, taken all around, he Is q
curiosity In the reptile line. Unlike the
regulation snake, he has no teeth In his
mouth. but has a full set Of grinders
In his stomach. These dental wonders
grow from the center Of each vertebra
They pass through the walls Of the
stomach, and are each crowned with
enamel. Hydraci Is the champion egg
sucker. and the teeth In the stomach
appear to be natures provision for
breaking the shell of the egg without
running the risk Of losing the precious
contents When the egg lands In the
stomach and the serpent's instinct tells
1t that everything Is all right, the ad.
domlnal walls contract, and the egg Is
crushed against the long row Of verte-
brnl teeth.

Notice the men you
meet on the street
today.

See how many of them look as X
tehir clothes are a help to them; a
source Of satisfaction; men who are
conscious of being we'll dressed, with
out thinking too much of their clothes
See how many are either ashamed
of their clothes, or Indifferent to
them. You'll see men of both kinds,
and we venture to say this:
Most of the second type will be
wearing "mercerized cotton" or cheap
shoddy clothes; and most of the first
type will have Hart schaffner & Marx
label in their coats.
No man can respect clothes that
are made to cheat in looks; not even
when he wears them himself And no
man can fail to be helped, in business
or social affairs by the Strengthening
sense that his clothes are right.
We sell Hart Schaffner e Marx
clothes because they're all-wool and
all right.

PUT IN NEW PLUMBING.
Says B. +. Rem, Chairman Of the
Street Committee OF Council.
+. ID. hADhH,
Secretary


Street Committee OF Council.
"Those who have old connections
with the water mains on the streets
that are to be paved, and especially
ir cases where iron pipe is in use,
should put in new plumbing at once
so as to avoid tearing up the pave
ment after It has been laid" says B..
F. Rem, chairman of the street COM
mittee of the council.
At the present time Councilman
Rem is devoting the most Of his time
70 matters that arise daily In connec-
ton with the street work that Is now
under way. There are many things
to be looked after while the work is
on and as the paving work is to be
permanent 1t is necessary to look into
the future considerable. AS an In
stance of this may be cited the laying
Of the drainage sewer connections to
the property lines on Alta, Water and
Webb streets. This was done at the
instance Of the street committee and
will doubtless prove a wise fore
thought.
As grading work will be started
soon by the Warren company Mr..
Rem is now anxious to have property
owners hurry up and replace the old
black iron connections with galvan-
lied pipe. According t. W. G. Suth-
erland, water superintendent, there
are a number of cases on Main and
Court street property where the
plumbing connections are so old that
new work is needed. AS the property
owner Is required to maintain the
connection the entire distance from
the main to his property it will be tc
his interest to make the change now
before the paving is placed. Should
he wait until after the paving !:
down and then be forced to replace
the plumbing the work will be ex
pensive as the cost of replacing thu
pavement will fall upon the propert!

was stopped 1t has been tagged by
express agents and others who have
seen 1t, many of the number being
young ladies who have attached call

clever and some otherwise, have been
written on cards attached. one of
these is written on a strip of leather
and was attached by an enthusiastic
boomer at Roseburg. 1t is as follows.
