 promise to Business Men.

'C. NJ. Scott was over from Phoenix Monday to confer with the members of the Board of Trade regarding the change in the mail schedule which went into effect yesterday. As the matter now stands, the mail leaves Phoenix on the 2:40 p. m. thereby getting in to be distributed early enough for the merchants to get it be- fore going home for the night It also is great relief to the postal em- ployes. who are not kept at work so late iu the evening On the other hand. it is serious disadvantage to the railroad. according to Mir. Scott
 He explained that the motor car ser vice was instituted as an advertise ment for the valley. and that all tour ists and visitors were informed that the motor car was one of the chief attractions for viewing the South Side. and that to make mail train or IL would necessitate a trailer and the putting on of another man at about $50 per month. The travel will he no greater and the revenues no more while the expenses would materially increase: also that the railroad com pany would in all probability demand an explanation and finally require that the motor cars be cut out
 . He also said that of the twelve days of this month only seven times had the trains made connection. SO that the outside mail would have caught the $40 had if been in force. He agreed to put on the evening train one hour earlier. thereby getting the mail to Mesa at G:15 and allowing Tor the distribution at about :: and he said that in any way that he could he would assist inc Mess people. but that. as it was now. he did not know how matters could adjust thcrselves.
 The matter of q light at the north depot was brought up and Mir. Scott said he was of the opinion that there was light there. as he had been pay ing for it for the past two years. He said, in fact there was a light there. but it was pointed out that only a fe-v times had it been in operation Thereupon Mir. Scott agreed to see that some one was made responsible to see that the light was properly maintained.
 After a discussion. the members of the Board of Trade agreed to see the business men with regard to the change of the mail and try and make arrangements which would he satis- factory to all parties concerned.

Infinite Variety of FiIIefs and Bandeaux
To Suit Classic Styles of Head Dressing

To suit the classic styles OF hair

hllets and bandeaux in soft, pliable
velvets and ribbons that follow the
shape OF the head and are most effec-
tive.

quite large In mesh. and made up over
the palest shade of mauve velvet; on
the net flowers are appliqued by hand
in silver ribbon. Here and there. very
sparsely scattered. but sufficient TO add
richness. are set amethysts and rhine
stones. The velvet is caught I'm tight
every three or four inches. thus divid-
ing it's length into four sections. This
ornament can be copied In any color.
Popular are fillets of gold or silver
braid which are very narrow. being
scarcely more than half an inch Wide.
These are TO be wound in and out Of
the hair and are studded I'm several
ways. For example, a gold braid has
gold carbochon nail heads with tiny
beads TO match around them.
Another has gold nail heads with
rhinestone beads. Colors are added TO
match gowns. pink pearls or turquoise
beads showing well on the gold back
ground. Silver ribbon Is treated IN
the same way and is equally charm
ing.

ing in its delicate sprays and foliage,

PARTICULAR ABOUT
THE PLATES

A Washingtonian, who has lived at
hotels and restaurants nearly all his
life, and who is notably absent-minded,
especially when absorbed in talking
about a subject that interests him,
went out to dinner the other night.
He had plunged into a discussion
before dinner and was continuing 1t
animatedly throughout the oyster and
soup courses. When the fish plates
were placed on the table he followed
the usual custom Of the man VINO
lives at hotels and wiped the plate off
with his napkin. Instantly, a butler
removed 1t and placed another.
Deep in his discussion, the guest
wiped that one with his napkin and
the butler replaced that. This hap
pened a third time. and then the host
ess said: please do not do that
any more assure you the plates
are perfectly clean. and, besides, l
have no more Of that pattern"

WHAT MEN PREFER.

The only tobacco pouch preferred by
men is made Of rubber, or a leather
pouch lined with soft red or black
rubber. II your friend smokes tobacco
in a pipe. buy him n tobacco jar in
which TO keep IL. These come in metal,
china and stone, and are made with a
porous bottom. under which is an
opening for a wet sponge. thus keeping
the tobacco slightly moist. Patent
cigar boxes are also on the market and
make very acceptable gifts for cigar
smokers. These are called ''huml-
dors' and are generally made Of wood,
lined with metal. with n porous slide
at one side. They can be tightly
closed and locked.
Usually n man prefers selecting his
personal finery. Few men admire a
womans choice of necktie, and the
cane his best girl picks out is seldom
the one he carries. He wants the
practical, useful gift that is going 70
bring him comfort in some form, for
most men are alike on this one point
they love their ease. and any gift
that will add to their comfort in any
way is sure OF a welcome.

PUTS AN END TO
STOMACH MISERY
Indigestion, Gas, Heartburn
or Dyspepsia Vanish in
Five Minutes

Every family here ought 70 keep
some Diapepsin in the house, as any
one Of you may have an attack Of In
digestion or Stomach trouble at any
time, day or night.
This harmless preparation will di-
gest anything you eat and overcome a
distressed, out-of-order stomach hve
minutes afterwards.
If your meals don't tempt yOS. or
what little you do eat seems to fill you,
or lays like a lump of lead in your
stomach, or IL you have heartburn, that
is a sign Of Indigestion.
Ask your Pharmacist for a 50-cent
case of Pape's Diapepsin and take
a little just as soon as you can.
There will be no sour risings, no belch-
ing of undigested food mixed with acid,
no stomach gas or heartburn, fullness
or heavy feeling in the stomach, Nau-
sea, Debilitating Headaches. Dizziness
or intestinal gripping. This will all go,
and besides. there will be no sour food
left over in the stomach to poison your
breath with nauseous odors.
Pape's Diapepsin is a cetrain cure
for out-of- order stomachs, because it
prevents fermentation and takes hold
of your food and digests 1t just the
same as If your stomach wasn't there.
Relief in five minutes from all stom-
ach misery is at any drug store, wait
ing for you.
These large 50-cent cases contain
more than sufficient to cure almost any
chronic case of Dyspepsia Indigestion
or any other Stomach trouble.

FIND SKELETON

MORE LIGHTS
FOR THE RIVER
Prairie Grounding to be Urg-
ed as Reason for Better
Channel Guides

As a direct outcome OF the recent
grounding OF the Prairie in the Delaware
river. near Reedy Island, after the yes
sci, loaded with marines. had left the
Navy Yard for Panama, renewed efforts
will be made to compel the more
thorough marking OF the channel from
Philadelphia to the capes.
Entirely apart from the question as to
the precise location Of the Prairie
whether inside or outside OF the channel
the accident has focused attention on the
question Of aids to navigation as nothing
else could have done.
As the first direct result, Captain John
p Virden, president OF the Pilots Asso-
citation, will bring to the attention OF
Commander Bispham, lighthouse inspect
or of the district. what is in his mind.
an imperative need of a change in the
marking system near the very spot where
the Prairie went into the mud. Especially.
Captain Virden will point out the situation
in the vicinity Of the fiashlight. or "oc-
cutting" buoy at Goose island bar. It is the
belief of Captain Virden that the char
acter OF this light may have had some
thingthing TO do with the accident to the
Prairie.
NEARLY all hlashlight buoys." said Cap
tain Virden yesterday. ARE dark for only
few seconds. and then fash for the bet
ter part Of minute With this buoy it is
just the other way 1t flashes for very
few seconds and then is dark for the bet
ter part Of a minute"
Another danger point in the river Of
which pilots complain, is at Schooner
Ledge, near Chester. For years the gov
ernment has been at work in this stretch
Of $500 feet, cutting out the ledge from
twenty-six down to thirty feet depth at
mean low tide. The work was to have
been completed by the end of 1908.
But the months have gone on, and the
Schooner Ledge work is uncompleted
While it is progressing vessels must run
70 the westward of the old range, and OF
the ledge itself.
While the course they must run is mark
ed by line Of buoys, the instructions to
navigators are that vessels must be run
200 feet to the westward Of the range line.
Pilots therefore. must dargely depend on
their individual judgment.
It Is accepted that there is no important
channel on the Atlantic seaboard so
sparsely marked as the Delaware river
channel, It Is true that there has been
an improvement lately as the result of
the protest Of the shipping interests.
Above Wilmington, in what is known
as the 'hazy" district, the channel has
been buoyed on both sides. The Samuel j.
Creswen Iron Works is about TO place in
position at Reedy Island, a cast-iron
lighthouse 40 feet high. This will be
known as the Reedy Island Range Rear
Light Station.
But that the system is far from ade-
ouate and still will be so, even when con-
templated improvements are made, is fully
realized by mariners.
