His sincerity made him trusted; his

The fair will start on Wednesday evening February ! in city hall and will continue for the next three nights The committees which are arranging for the event meet weekly and are making q strenuous effort to make the fair one of the biggest in years. The money made on the fair is divid- ed among the various courts and usu- ally the treasury of each court is sub Stantially increased after fair. More over the annual fair serves to bring the different courts more closely to- gcther and tends to get the members better acquainted.

II is q great laugh show at the Jacques this week. There is comedy from beginning to end and the au- dienceS thus far this week have laugh ed heartily at nearly every act. The headline feature. the ZaZell X Vernon company in The El0pement," is one of the funniest of pantomimes. The humorous adventures of Pierre and his repeaSed efforts to run away with sweet Marie, without letting Mamma Bertam know, furnish no end of fun. The act is well staged and many of the acrobatic stunts are marvellous. The Marco twins, the long and short of comedy, keep the audience in rOars. The Searl and Violet Allen company in The Travel ing Man." has a novel and entertain ing offering which is handsomely staged. Miss Ann Hamilton X Co in "Beggars" plays an exquisite little tragedy with feeling and grace. i he other acts are excellent and include a dancing novelty by Knight Brothers and Marion Sawtelle, Banks and and the DeNoie trio Polls popular prices.

The red corpuscles in the blood are its element of vrility On the same date under hypnosis a blood test was made, and 1t indicated an increase of 100000 red corpuscles Thereafter the increase was steady Blood tests were made from time to time until by repeated hypnotic sug gestion in line with the result an aver. age of 5.0O00OO red corpuscles was reached, condition maintained for several months preceding the birth Of the boy
