Possibly the most radical departure
from old-fashioned ideas of dress in

made with hips.
lhe severe lines of the old evening
coat are entirely absent. They are
replaced by curves as pronounced as

There were also exhibited samples

a circus tent when it is blowing hard.
There is enough cloth in one of the
Taft" overcoats to make sail for a

the building was mass of flames be-
fore any person could be aroused and

limited to a bucket brigade, had little
chance in such conflagration as the
frame structures afforded The bank
building was rapidly consumed. with
all the fixtures, furniture. etc, and the
flames then spread to the next house.

estate office were burned in the order
mentioned, practically everything be-

office was cement stone building and
although the front of the building was
damaged, its walls checked the flames
and prevented further destruction

He served that time in full and now

one dreaded disease that science has
been able TO cure in all its stages, and
that is Catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure is
the only positive cure now known to
the medical fraternity. Catarrh being a
constitutional disease, requires a consti-
tutional treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure
is taken internally, acting directly upon
the blood and mucous surface OF the

ton Of the disease, and giving the pa
