Fred NibIo's TraveIogue.

Fred Niblo's travelOgue on France, the
second of this seasons series. was given
before a large house at the Columbia The
alter last night. France. from Paris 70
Monte Carlo" consisted of some very fine
views and motion pictures. which were
obtained during Mr.. Niblo's last summer s
trip through the republic into the princi-
pality OF Monaco. as well as some quite
interesting experiences and sidelights
a portion of the evening was devoted to
the sights TO be found in Partisan every
day life. The eXtravagantly dressed Paris
ian beauties were shown on parade at
the horse races at Longchamps, as were
also the throngs of beggars and mounte-
banks that ventured into the city's con-
fines on July a.. which. It is said. is the
only day when they are allowed freedom
in the streets Of the great French metrop-
oils. The remainder Of the time was ia
ken up with pictures Of Marseilies. Bay
onne, Bordeaux, and other French cities,
including a visit to the romantic chateau
country of TOuraine.
The talk was thoroughly enjoyable. as
were. too. the pictures. Mr.. Niblo's sub
iect for next Friday afternoon will be
the same as that of last night, while he
announces for Sunday. the 2ith. ireland,
from Barney Castle TO the Giants Cause

UROSTENTATI0US COMFORT
At The HOTEL ST. REGIS
The One Modern New York Hotel That
Satisfies the Discriminating.

A well-known Western editor said re-
Gently (edItorially) after a visit to New
York and the st. Regis Hotel: THE
instant a patron enters the st. Regis
he IS made TO feel at home. There isn't
the slightest attempt at aristocracy. IN
deed. we believe that the multitude OF
patrons whom the st. Regis has had are
among the well-to-do people or the
country, rather than from the million
aires"
This writer has struck the keynote Of
St Regis service. The great middle
class" are its constant and satisfied pa
irons. These the St Regis never fails
to attract Situated on Fifth Avenue at
Fifty-ffth Street, its location Is ideal
for visitors to New York who desire TO
combine business and pleasure. Far
enough removed from the commercial
districts to avoid the clatter and roar
OF business traffic. It Is still within five
minutes ride OF the retail shopping and
theatrical centers It's every aim is TO
retain "home-likeness" in its atmosphere
and to make every patron 50 satisfied
he will be sure TO come again-and that
as often as circumstances VIII permit.
It's restaurant charges are the same as
other frst-clsss hotels. and rooms may
be had as low as g and 81 a day for .

BRYAN IS PLEASED.

The Commoner OF July Is submits
the following excerpt from the Demo
cratic platform Of 1908 and then calls
attention to the anomaly OF Republi-
can president sending Il message to
congress proposing the submission Of
an income tax amendment, together.
with the fact that the submission prop
osition passed the senate-77 TO o.
The excerpt from the Democratic
platform and appearing in the Com
moner is as follows:
we favor an income tax as part
Of our revenue system, and we urge
the submission OF constitutional
amendment specifically authorizing
congress to levy ana collect tax upon
individual and corporate incomes. to
the end that wealth may bear its pro
portionate share Of the burdens of the
federal government"

, take verbatim paragraphs as follows:
The constitution requires the refer
endum petition to be filed with the
secretary of state. 1t does not say
anything about the committee having
lin charge matter Of referendum pre-.
senting 1t to the governor nor seeing
him at all"
Very well then Mr.. Chappell, why
have you ever criticised the governor
in any way in connection with your
attempted petition? If you claim
you did not have to present it to the
governor, then why have you ever men
toned that the governor was negli-
gent and absent from his post Of duty.
If you are correct in the above con-
tention chat the governor has nothing
to do with your referendum petition.
then why have you ever mentioned his
name in connection with it?

HOME CURE FOR ECZEMA


IL really seems strange that 50 many
people suffer year in and year out with
eczema, when it is now no longer Sc
cret that oil Of wintergreen mixed with
thymol. glycerine. etc, makes a wash
that is bound to cure.
Old. obstinate cases, it is true, can
not be cured in few days, but there
is absolutely no sufferer from eczema
who ever used this simple wash and
did not find Immediately that won
derfully soothing, calm. cool sensation
that comes when the itch is taken away.
Instantly upon applying a few drops
OF the wash the remedy takes effect.
the itch is allayed. There is no need
OF experiment-the patient knows at
once.
Instead OF trying to compound the
oil Of wintergreen, thymol, glycerine,
etc, in the right proportions ourselves
we are using prescription which is
universally found the most effective.
Il is known as the ID. ID. D. Prescrip-
tion. or Oi. Of Wintergreen Compound.
1t is made by the D. d. D. Co. of Chi
cago, and our long experience with
this remedy has given us great conf
dence in its merits.
