cannot get the good out Of the food

this results directly from a weakened
stomach. and no other treatment

weak, if there is sleeplessness, irrita-

stylish garments and economical prices
have attracted the attention of ladies
from abroad who have visited Augusta.
The automobile Siberian squirrel coat
is a beauty with its rich dark gray eff

rHt SNAKE DANGERS

In clubbing as a political snake dance" the affair at Phunix two weeks ago 'rnE OASIS has added to the gaiety of the situation, and has been the recipient of many compliments for having coined the opposite and appropriate appella. tion. It was pretty well put, and we'll understood by all who have read of the Moqui snake dance. In that there are many par ticipants, and many snakes, dur ing the ceremony all parading the pueblo in a horrible, fascinating column. Some of the participants carry in their teeth hissing, writh- ing rsttlesnakes. Alongside each snake bearer walks another Indian tickling the reptile with an eagle 1eather, 10 prevent US stlnglng the bearer. And another carries a pot of antidote to be applied immedi- ately should a sting be delivered. And there was the programme at Phoenix last Saturday week: Kibbey was to be the snakebearer, Mark Smith the snake, Frank Mur- phy was to tickle the snake with the feather, and Ellinwood was the antidote toter. But Kibbey baked and Sturges was made the snake bearer instead, while the main per formance was postponed to Sep tember 9th, at Bisbee. Sturges says he won't dance; but he will do so if Frank Murphy can have his way.
