HOMEMADE CATARRH CURE

Any one can mix right at home the
best remedy of its kind known The
name Cyclone, is given to the follow
ing prescription. 1t is supposed, because
of its promptness in driving from the
blood and system every vestige of
catarrhal poison, relieving this foul and
dread disease, no matter where located.
To prepare the mixture: Get from any
good pharmacy one-half ounce Fluid
Extract Dandelion, one ounce Compound
Kargon and three ounces Compound
Syrup Sarasparilla. Shake we'll and use
in teaspoonful doses after each meal and
at bed time
This is harmless, inexpensive mix
ture, which has a peculiar action upon
the eliminative tissues of. the Kidneys
assisting them to filter and strain from
the blood and system all catarrhal
poisons, which, if not eradicated, are
absorbed by the mucous membrane and
an open sore or.catarrh is the result.
Prepare some and try it. as it is the
prescription of an eminent catarrh spe.
cialist of national reputation.

Arabian Hypocrisy.

Writes a traveller: "The noblest and the basest Arabs are agreed that to obtain as quickly as possible all the available cash they can lay their hands on is by no means degrading. But even here subtle dIalectlc comes into play. The Arab must always have right on his side, for in studied and complex hypocrisy he has nothing to learn from us. If an Arab would rob his guest-I am speaking from per- sOnal experience-he will first talk at length on the subject of honor. hospi- tality, and so forth. He will gradually work the matter round as to why you are travelling. throw out suggestions that spies, enemies and intruders ean- not claim hospitality, suggest that be himself is poor, question himself as to whether he ought not to detain you as a prisoner. again state that he is in want. and thus shift from bIackmaiI to caJolery and from gentle requests to threats. nntIl he has extorted a sum of money which in his curious brain he might describe as She least he could accept with honor CT the most be could eKrract without danger to hinseIf.s

erican play Glorious Betsy" by Rida Johnson Young, author of Brown of Harvard" Boys of Company B" etc. She will be seen at Polls tomorrow evening. Glorious Betsy" has for its central figure that radiant belle of yesterday Betsy Patterson, who made for herself one of the most re- markable careers ever maintained by an American woman. From the posi- tion of Baltimore belle, whose wit, pride and rather daring independence made her the admiring comment of all fashionable society in America, she sprang suddenly into international notice by her marriage with Jerome Bonaparte, the brother of Napoleon, just at the time when he was pro- claimed emperor of the French. In arranging this interesting story for the stage, its author does not go into the darker side of Betsy's life, but deals with those days when her name was the toast of every gathering of note from Baltimore to New Orleans. It takes us back to the old Sweet Springs of Virginia, when that resort was the gathering place of the best in wealth and culture of which Am erica could boast Prices 25c to S1.50.

for modern long coats, such as women wear, only that there was row of bright buttons down the front and huge ruffle around the neck. While the bill boards and the press notices prepared the reader to expect an empty, barnlike stage, with exposed rafters and Northampton flappers for footlights, a contrary picture was pre- sented. The curtain did not close out the stage from the time it went up on the first act. There was stage within a stage and the exits and en- frances of the players were open to the audience all the time. The gown ed scene shifters merely drew aside curtain to permit the actor to re- tire or appear. and there he was. Without question, everything was open and above board in the days of that virago.
