The Lee-Collier Reception.

The Lee.COllier Reception.
 Last Thursday afternoon the beautiful Lee home on West Sec ond Avenue was the scene of brilliant assemblage, the occasion being d reception given by Mrs. R. B. Lee and Mrs. Thomas II. Col lier, to which severa! hundred in- vitations were issued.
 The interior of this home both as to architecture and appointment lends itself charmingly as back ground for artistic effects, and in its floral garb Thursday it's beauty was dream-like.
 The beautiful Southern smilax was used in profusion throughout the house, flu, nishing tEe basis for an exquisite scheme of decoration in Grecian design, the study being carried throughout the hall, li- brary, parlor and dining room. Gar lands of this beautiful vine were festooned along the walls, caught up at intervals by ribbons in shades corresponding to the c"lor motif in each room, the ribbons holding suspended M'y-fair baskets filled with rarest flowers. Wherever the smilax could add beauty it vas found. It draped doorways, chan deliers and stairway, impari tally l adding charm to all.
 In the hall the color moti- was red, profusion of the choicest red carnations being used. Baskets SIS pended from the cables of smi'ax were held by graceful loops of red ribbon, and were filled with thu fragrant, glowing carnations. The chandelier was covered with red tulle and smilaX, and from it hung also a basket of the beautiful car nations and the whole effect was of such warmth and richness of color that on entering from the gray mists and cold winds of a
 midwinter afternoon, the guests felt themselves in Fairyland.
 The library. in which the receiv- ing party stood. was in American Beauty roses, the hangings, lights, and other appointments being in the hue of these flowers. The blos- 1 sons wreathed the chandeliers. ] filled the dainty baskets, ladened the tables, and banked the mantles of the room. the effect being the very acme of artistic beauty.
 l The crowning beauty of this room was the receiving line of hand somely-gowned ladies. A notable

FOR THE KIDNEYS
AND BLADDER
MIX THIS AT HOME IF you HAVE
KIDNEY OR BLADDER TRoU-
BILE OR RHEUMATISM.

Recent hospital reports show that
the dread disease, rheumatism, is
steadily increasing throughout the
country. All known means of relief
are being suggested to save the great
amount Of suffering among those who
are not in a position to pack up and
visit the noted health resorts to be
treated. Recent tests prove rheu-
matism not exactly a disease in itself.
but a severe symptom of kidney trou-
BILE. condition caused by clogged up
pores of the eliminative tissues in the
kidneys which fail to filter the pois-
onous waste matter and uric acid
from the blood. permitting these sub
stances to remain in the veins and
decompose, usually settling about the
joints and muscles, causing the in
tense pain, swelling and stiffness of
rheumatism.
A well-known specialist, who has
probably treated more cases of rheu-
matism than anyone else, and who is
also the most successful, gives the
following simple treatment, which is
harmless and inexpensive. and so
simple that anybody can mix it at
home.
The ingredients are: FLUID Extract
Dandelion, one-half ounce; Compound
Kargon, one ounce: Compound Sarsa-
parilla, three ounces. Go to any
good prescription pharmacy and get
these three vegetable ingredients and
mix them by shaking in bottle, TAX
ing as dose a teaspoonful after each
meal and again at bedtime.
There is nothing better in the
world for backache, kidney and blad-
der trouble. too. Such symptoms as
frequent and painful urination. sore
ness. weakness, general and nervous
debility are caused by certain acids
and poisonous waste matter, decayed
tissue. etc, in the blood, which the
kidneys will clear and purify after
lew doses Of this prescription.

Mr.. YoAKUM TALKS.

b F. Yoakum, chairman of the
Rock Island-Frisco board, just re-
turned to New York from a trip over
the Chicago and Eastern Illinois and
a conference with officials in St.
Louis, and whose opinions are highly
valued by the business world, says:
81 am not feeling at all discoVrag-
ed over general conditions. For ten
years we have been drifting toward
this monetary situation, and it cannot
be cured in ten days. But have the
strongest faith in the future, and in
the ability of the American people
to hold together and surmount this f.
nancial trouble. There are hopeful
signs on every hand of restoring con-
fidence and we shall soon build our
tracks around this big depression and
resume the run of prosperity"
THE storm might come upon us at
a worse time. The crops are bounti-
full and the country is developing rap
idly in all sections, West. Southwest,
North and South. General business
has not been affected by the depres-
sion as much as one would naturally
suppose. Our earnings for November
only show a decrease of 3 per cent
OF course, we are pursuing a policy of
retrenchment and shall go slow on
all improvement work At this sea-
son of the year it is always customary
to curtail the outside work and to re-
duce the shop forces, but we shall not
permit the property to suffer. The
necessary repairs will go on, and we
shall maintain our through passeng@
service. All business men with whom
l talked in St Louis share my views
of the general outlook and in the East
there is a growing feeling that the
clouds are surely lifting"
