 Why have holes in the toes of your socks? Wear socks which won't wear out! Strange, but wonderfully true, there is new hosiery for men which seems to wear for ever. This hosiery is made upon new principle and is radi- cally different from any you have worn or heard of. The difference lies in the peculiar construction of these parts of the stocking which are subjected to the greatest wear. It has the new Inter. woven Toe and Heel which gives strength and where strength is needed. No other hosiery has toe like this. Through the use of Interwoven hosiery men may avoid wearing half-hose with hole or patches at the toes and save the inconvenience of darning. Inter- woven half-hose fit perfectly, have no objectionable seams and the fabric looks just like silk. They are made in all weights and in black and fashion able colors. Hatch & Dewey sell these goods.

practicing hypnotism for about si X
 years, or since he was 2Oyears old.
 His close application to work has in- jured his heath. He is obliged to take the best care of himself. Says his
 manager, Mir Magoon: "Prescelle is al-
 ways in bed within ten minutes after
 the performance, if his hotel is near
 enough for him to make it in that time. He never sits up and dissipates,
 as some actors do. He is one of the cleanest, most agl cable and popular men have ever met" Prescelle be-
 lieves person can hypnotize himself
 "I know there is such thing as self
 induced hypnotism, just as much as there is hypnotism of other people, " he said. "Some days I feel in i'll health, but 1 make up my mind that I am going to be all right and that am
 going to perform the work that have laid out. My mind becomes fixed on that determination, and 1 forget my indisposition." Prescelle leans to-
 wards the more scientific features of hypnotism than he gives in his shows.
 But the majority of people who pa- tronize the theater want to laugh. As
 he is working for the public he gives them what they want. Prescelle esti-
 mates that 90 per cent of theater-go- CTS want to have hearty laugh. He
 certainly gives it to them. Hypnotism is nothing more or less than the law of suggestion. Only those who do not read, and are not familiar with scien- tifc literature. doubt the existence of this natural law, which has existed
 since the creation of the world. Tele- pathy. as demonstrated by Prescelle, who has no confederates,is recognized
 by the leading scientists as genuine thought transference. The reason for the great interest manifested in this youthful hypnotist and his work is not
 far to seek. He has a rare personality that attracts the most casual observer,
 a pleasing smile, and, above all, in
 spite of his great success, he is most affable and unaffected. He is the per- sonifcation of activity, and hesitates at no obstacle, be it ever so great.
 His ambition is to please his patrons.
 During his occupancy of the stage great hilarity prevails. The remarkable power exercised over his subjects borders on the marvellous. and affords food for thought as we'll as unlimited amusement. Coupled with this frivol- ity comes Prescelle's exhibition of mental telepathy, as revelation from out of the occult. Without hesitancy,
