The Charming Woman

Is not necessarily one of perfect form
and features. Many a plain woman
who could never serve as an artists
model, possesses those rare qualities
that all the world admires; neatness,
clear eyes, clean smooth skin and that
sprightliness of step and action that
accompany good health. A physically
weak woman is never attractive, not
even to herself. Electric Bitters re-
store weak women, give strong nerves,
bright eyes, smooth, velvety skin,

Lid on Tight.

Mondays Courier-Journal says: That
the lid was on in Louisville good and
proper yesterday there is no room
for doubt. 1t was plain to the most
unobservant citizen that something out
of the ordinary was being experienced
in the Kentucky metropolis. Oldest
officials in the Police Department said
that the city was closed tighter from a
liquor viewpoint yesterday than ever
before known. While there were a
few arrests for selling liquor, yet it
was conceded by almost everybody
that a successful test had been made
as to the closing of saloons on Sun
day. IN the downtown districts all
doors were closed and the blinds roll
ed up so that the stroller could get a
full view and satisfy himself that
there was nothing doing.
No man felt better over the days
work than Mayor Bingham, who
warned the saloonkeepers in a state
ment yesterday moring to the effect
that he meant business and If any
person was caught selling whisky yes
terday he would have his license re-
VOked.

The situation, hen, Is this: A city

for the combination OF knowledge and

CATCHING LITTLE FISH.

The continued story "Gambling Dens
Wide Open" is still running in the news
papers, although most readers feel that
it is dreadfully monotonous and as far
from the climax as it was when the first
instalment was published, away back in
some forgotten year. There is still the
same official theory ahoat that "the
poolroom system is smashed forever, I"
and the same open secret that any youth
who wants to can find place within
coin tossing range of his little iron saw
ings bank where he may lose his money
on any real or imaginary steed. If 1t
were not 30 venerable, the story might
be amusing. But, whether novel oil
stale, the anecdote published by the
New York Tribune Tuesday about a
Brooklyn magistrate, a pstrolmsn and
gambling house throws upon some un'
pleasant facts light too strong to excite
the readers risibilities.
To patrolmsn who had dragged into
court two ''crsp shooting youngsters

avenue court, said;
Instead of spending your time look

pants of that house for gambling
