"The beauty of the couture depends
upon several things, the first of which
Is variety. You must not always look
the same. The woman who dresses
her hair always the same way makes
a great mistake. She looks tame and
the same to you and you begin to
think she ann look any other way.
Secondly, the beauty OF the coiffure
depends upon the condition OF the
hair. Unless you know how to keep
your hair in shape. thick. glossy and
shining, you cannot hope to have q
satisfactory couture. Your hair must
be well grOomed and brushed until II

the family. Whether she is sick or
we'll, whether IL rains or shines, she
must get to her place Of employment,
perform the duties exacted Of her
smile and be agreeable.
Among this class the symptoms Of
female diseases are early manifest by
weak and aching backs, pain in the
lower limbs and lower part Of tho
stomach. In consequence Of frequent
wetting Of the feet, periods become
painful and irregular, and frequently
there are faint and dizzy spells, with
loss Of appetite, until life is "a burden.
All these symptoms point to a de-
rangement of the female organism
which can be easily and promptly
cured by Lydia l.. Pinkham's Vegeta-
BILE Compound.
Miss Abby F. Barrows, jacksonville.
Athens Co., Ohio, tells what this great
medicine did for her. She writes:

right.
II am in better health than I ever was,

1t is to such girls that Mrs. Pink.

tends a cordial invitation to correspond
with her. She is daughter-in-law Of
Lydia T.. Pinkham and for twenty-five
years has been advising sick womcn

success in treating womnn's ills makes
her letters of advice of untold value to
every ailing working girl. Address,

The state board of prison inspectors,
Gov. Folk and Warden Hall, held a
meeting recently to examine and dis
cuss plans for a new hospital for the
prison. The last general assembly
appropriated the sum Of $4,000 for
such a building and II is the war
den's intention to have It completed
by the close of the year. Plans were
drawn by Architects Miller e Opel, OF
Jefferson City. and these formed the
basis of the discussion. Warden Hall
stated that the new building would
be an enlargement and mo1ernization
OF the old hospital building. which
has done service for more than half
a century. II is now entirely out OF
date and much too small for the de-
mands of the prison. The new hos
pital will be up to date and inodcrn

PLEASURES OF A TRIP
 IN ARIZONA MOUNTAINS
The Return Yesterday of a Party of
 Delighted ExCursiOnists.

H. P. Reynolds, registry clerk at the postofice. who with his wife and son Earl and Miss Anna Stout left here on June Is for a mountain vacation trip. yesterday returned home, happy, brown and full of praise of the pleas ures to be found in the mountains of northern Arizona. All of the party en- joyed the best of health during the trip and to tell all that they saw or even half of the events of the trip would, according to MT. Reynolds, take too long a time. With the Grand Canyon as their objective point they passed through Wicllenburg. Congress. Pres colt and Flagstaf on their outbound journey.
 In all six days were spent at the Grand Canyon, at Grand View and at Hance's station. The trip down into the canyon was made down the Hance trail. The home-bound trip was made by way of the Tonto country and Roosevelt. Although the Grand Can yon naturally afforded the grandest scenery the party encountered it was continually running upon scenes and sights as attractive as one could inn agine. But the climate was the most pleasant thing of the trip. After the party got above Congress going out and UntiI it came over the rim into the Tonto basin on the journey home the men both wore their coats and the wo- men of the party heavy wraps At Flagstaff on the 7th of July a snow storm fell in the mountains which was plainly visible from where they were camped MT. Reynolds has been east and has been west, at all seasons of the year but it is his opinion that an Arizona mountain trip in June and July is about as near the vacation Of perfection as he has ever found.

 Evidently Maria thought it meant back to jail and he started off with d hang back gait. Every one noticed it and surmised correctly, so the inter- preter again explained to Maria that he was a free man. The change was wonderful. With a whoap. the good old kind, of the Indians of old. he made a bound for the door. At the thresh- old he paused and took good look at the judge to make sure there had been no mistake. A wave of the hand from that dignitary signifying to him that he could make off was all that he waited for There was a second whoop louder than the first and the Indian started for the reservation. He may not have understood the whole of the court proceedings but that last wave of the judges hand he did not fail to interpret correctly. It was to him the message he had waited for for nine long dreaTy months.

JOYFUL WHOOP
 OF JOSE MARIA
When He Was Released From Jail by
 the Pauper's Oath.

Jose Maria. PapagO Indian. was yesterday released from the county jail. where he had been serving a sen tence of eight months, given him by Judge Kent at the fall term of the fed eral court for selling liquor to an In
 dian of the Yuma tribe. It was not Maria's first offense. he having once before been before a grand jury, but he was discharged for lack of evidence Maria had served precisely nine months on the goth day of the month, the jail sentence and thirty days re quired before he could make the con vict's pauper oath by which he>soould be relieved from paying the fine of $500 part of his sentence. Finally his attorney yesterday forwarded the papers to Judge c. W. Johnstone United States court commissioner. and Maria was brought into court.
 His expression showed him to be all expectancy. He had a knowledge that the proceedings about to be gone through would secure for h.m his lib erty. The interpreter read the petition and the pauper's oath. which the attor- ney had prepared for Maria and he was sworn. Evidently misinterpreting something that was said. Maria's de- meanOr suddenly changed, his chin dropped and one would have thought had he been watching Maria's face that he was about to journey win the black angel death. He took little in

ORIGIN OF TERM FLAT"

The origin of the term flat" as ap- piled to an apartment is obscure. In recent years owners have objected to the word. A short while ago a tenant was threatened with a suit for libel because he persisted in saying that he lived in such-and-such fiat-house. The landlord declared that the structure was neither a fiathouse nor a tenement but an apartment hotel. The repeated use of "fathOuse' as a designation rendered to lower the reputation of the place, and drove away would-be Oc- cupants.
