A theatrical manager had stock
company at Los Angeles. Business
was bad and no money coming in. He
hadn't paid salary for months, and
had managed to keep his company to-
gether by advertising in San Francis
co and elsewhere holding out all sorts
Of promises.
The actors came, stayed until all
their money was gone, and then left
The manager made shift to keep his
thespians contented by taking them
on little excursions about the city
when they were not working. One
day he announced: This afternoon,
ladies' and gentlemen, we shalls visit
the insane asylum, most interesting

Strange case" said the attendant
Found him in the street few weeks
ago. He sits there all day and does
that. Harmless. but apparently insane.
We are giving him the best of atten-
ton In the hope that his reason may
be restored"
The manager looked at the count
er closely: "Bless my soul" said the
manager. ut resembles my former
leading man, Simpson"
The man kept counting his fingers
Really" said the manager, ut is
a most extraordinary resemblance"
Meantime the other actors and ac-
tresses and the attendant had gone on

manager. ARE you not Simpson, the
actor?"

counting his fingers. 'Tf they don't

Gilt on NecEwear.
With Midas-like perseverance fash
ion has invaded the realm of neck
wear and placed upon dainty white
lace and linen a golden touch. And
1t is lovely! The gold lace used In
combination with valenciennes or fine
tulle and net is cobwebby, and gives
its metallic contrast without any
weight. Gold medallions are let in
along the edges or frills or on pointed
tabs. Embroidery is worked with gold
thread outlining, and here and there
are solid patches which fash out In
jewel form.
Neckwear can hereafter be made a
part of the costume. The same golden
thread or cord used on the blouse IL
woven into the stock and jabot.

About Oil of Wintergreen

For several years we have an

that we had found a positive cure
for eczema; a simple skin wash, oil
of wintergreen compounded with
other healing ingredients.
Yet we know there are people
right in this town who have eczema,
and still have never tried this REM

We have, therefore, arranged with
the ID. y. D. Laboratories of Chi

A STARTLING
STATEMENT
New York Medical Authorities Claim
Dyspepsia to be Pre-disposing
Cause of Consumption

The post-mortem statistics OF the
big New York hospitals show that
some cases of consumption are due,
at least indirectly, 10 unchecked dys-
pepsia, especially when the victim
was predisposed TO tuberculosis.
Dyspepsia wears out the body and
brain. The weakened, irritable stom-
ach being unable TO digest food, the
body does not receive the required
nourishment, and the victim becomes
thin, weak and haggard. As result,
the body becomes fertile field in
which the germs of disease may lodge
and flourish.
Therefore, the person who permits
dyspepsia To progress unhindered is
guilty of contributing towards the
development of one of the most in
sidious and fatal disease known to
mankind.
Dyspepsia may be completely era
dictated if properly treated. We sell
a remedy that we positively guarantee
will completely relieve Indigestion or
dyspepsia, or the medicine used during
the trial will cost the user nothing.
This remedy has been named ReXall
Dyspepsia Tablets. Certainly no offer
could be more fair, and our offer should
be proof positive that ReXall Dyspep-
STA Tablets are dependable remedy.
Inasmuch as the medicine will cost
you nothing if it does not benefit you,
we urge you who are suffering with
indigestion or dyspepsia TO TO try Rex
all Dyspepsia Tablets. A 25-cent box
contains enough medicine for fifteen
days treatment For chronic cases
we have two larger sizes, SOC and 81.
Remember you can obtain ReXall
Remedies in Bedding only at our
