HE DID WHAT HE COULD.
The Early Efforts of Theatrical
Stars Fraught with Difficulties.

Wilton Lackaye in the December
Designer, tells the following story Of
his early efforts;
Lawrence Barrett had engaged me
to play another" one of his friends,

gagged to play at twenty-five dollars
a week, and provide my own cos
tunes. That seemed easy enough,
but after we had been out six weeks

other plays of his repertoire, and l
had to play several parts in each, and
that meant as many changes of cos

HAWKING MACHINES.

Is it possible that in these days
when cleanliness and sanitary re-
form is being preached in the chur-

ings, that thousands of people will
continue to suffer from catarrh,
when there is an absolutely certain
remedy always on hand.

Killebrew Defends Tax Law.

Tax Assessor Jack Killebrew was
here last week on his way to Ferris
to help Billie Bratcher collect taxes.
1t keeps one man SO busy explaining
how 1t is that the collector finds
himself overdone with work and he
must have a good talker to assist
him. Mr. Killebrew says the law is
good and will finally be satisfactory
to the people.
He says in fact the people as q
whole will pay less amount OF tax
es than formerly and the taxes of
the smaller property owners is less
this year than heretofore, but some
of the holders of larger properties
will have to pay more. 1t is not a
case OF increased burden but more
equal distribution of the taxes

GERMS IN HER SYSTEM.
Every Woman Should Read This

Every Woman Should Read This.
The number of diseases peculiar
to woman is such that we believe
this space would hardly contain a
mere mention of their names, and it
is a fact that most of these diseases
are of a catarrhal nature. A woman
cannot be we'll il there is trace of
the catarrhal germs in her system.
Some women think there is no help
for them. We positively declare this
10 be mistaken idea. We are SO
sure of this that we offer to supply
medicine absolutely free of all cost
in every instance where it fails to
give entire satisfaction or does not
|substantiate our claims. With this
understanding. no woman should
hesitate to believe our honesty of
purpose, or hesitate to put our claims
to test.
There is only one way to cure Ca
tarrh. That way Is through the
blood. You may use all the snuffs,
douches or like remedies for years
without getting more than temper
airy relief at best. Catarrh Is caus.d
by germ. That germ is carried by
the blood to the innermost part of
the system until the mucous mem
brane is broken, irritation and In
flammation produced. and flow of
mucous results, and you can prob
ably realize how silly 1t is to at
tempt to cure such an ailment unless
you take medicine that follows the
same course as the germ or parasite
Rexall MucuTone is scientifically
prepared from the prescription of an
eminent physician who for thirty
years made his speciality catarrh, and
with this medicine he averaged 90
per cent of cures where 1t was en-
ployed. No other remedy is so prop
erly designed for the ailments of
woman. II will purify and enrich the
blood, stop mucous discharges, de-
stroy all germ matter, remove all i'm
purities from the system, soothe,
heal and strengthen the mucous It's
sues, and bring about a good feeling
of health and strength.
We want you to try Rexall Mucu-
Tone on our guarantee. II you are
not benefited, or for any reason not
satisfied, simply tell us and we will
hand back your money. Rexall Mucu-
Tone comes in two sizes, soc and 81.

NEURALGIA

The real meaning Of the word Neu.
ralgia is nerve.pain, and any one who
has suffered with the malady will not
be 80 anxious to know OF its nature
as to hear Of It's antidote. Though
scarcely recognized by tho profession
and people half a century ago, 1t is
now one Of the most common and pain.
full ailments which afiiict humanity.
As now generally understood the word
signifies an affection Of the nervous
system, with pain In the course Of the
principal nerve
The two great causes of Neuralgia
are, Impoverishment OF the Blood
and Deficiency Of Nerve Force; and
the treatment Of 1t is not 80 obscure
as many would be led to suppose. The
first thing Is to relieve the pain,
which is done more quickly and salts
~factorily by ST. JACOBS OIL than by
any other remedy known; the second
object Is to remove the cause, which
Is accomplished by the abundant use
Of nourishing food, Of u nature to
strengthen and give tone to both tho
muscular and nervous systems.

The lingerie blouse Is to rule gu
preme with all the coats and skirts,
and many are the devices in neck
ties and collars.
A little tucked collar.band fitting
tightly. and shaped to a very slight
degree higher at the back than the
front, looks well with an infinitcsimal
frill at the top, the band itself being
outlined twice by a narrow black
glace ribbon tied at the base in front
into a small bow. Other pretty era
watts are also made of black glace and
tasselled with gold.
The finest of linen lawns makes the
blouse, either hand-embroidered or
with hemstitched tucks decorating It,
while most of the center pleats show
little groups OF pearl buttons.
The feature Of the blouse sketched
in our large illustration is the form
of the braces and pointed cape falling
over the shoulders and arms, which
are fashioned in filet lace, hemmed
with a fold Of satin which should
match the color of the skirt with
which the blouse Is to be worn. In
front the braces continue below the
waist, passing beneath the belt, and
finishing in mitrcd points; at the back
the cape finishes at the waist. OF
course. the braces could end at the
waist in front also, but the lines con.
tinued on 10 the skirt give greater
length to the figure. and are more be-
coming than when the belt cuts the
two portions of the dress in half. The
underneath blouse, which is quite sep
arate from the cape and braces and
a be worn apart, is of lace inser-
tions and tucked net. Tiny rcvcrs of
lace meet at the bust, and below these
he lace and tucks are carried down
wards instead of horizontally.
In the costume shown to the left Is
illustrated what use can be made of a
remnant Of figured wolfe, ninon de
sole, or any other light, semi-trans.
parent material, printed with a design
of wreaths of roses. which can be i'm
mensely enriched by introducing a
large pearl at intervals among the
rose wreaths. Diamond dewdrops
could also be scattered over the ma.
terial with excellent effect and very
little trouble. The design Is of one
of the long over-robes or coats, which
are 30 much the rage now for wearing
over an evening dress or tea.gown.
This n is cut in long points In front,
shorter ones at the sides and long
cnes again at the back, which are split
open nearly up to the waist. The
sleeves. too, which are cut in one with
the shoulders, hang In points at either
side OF the arm. leaving 1t bare. Both
coat and sleeves are edged all round
with a hand Of jewelled passementerie
and each point is weighted with q
large tassel. The fronts Of the coat
cross and are cut back Just above the
waist-line, any fulness being drawn
across the bust and caught by a bis
La France rose. Thus a delightful gar
meat thst one could slip Oh over any
