Those who have on hand a Jar. of
poslam. the new skin remedy, should
try 1t for some of the little skin all
ments common to all households par
ticuIarly in the summer time Sur
prising results will be seen after a sim

for sun burn, fever blisters, MOSQUITO
bites, burns, rashes, pimples, hives. red
noses and irritated and inf1amed skin,
The complexion is cleared over night;
dandruff is dissolved: itching or chat

These uses are suggested apart from
the primary purposes of poslam, the
treatment of eczema, acne, skin scale,
all forms of itch and other serious and
virulent skin troubles. There is no skin
disorder for which poslam should not
be unhes1tatfng1y used and which it
will not benefit Whenever itching is
present, it is stopped at once.
According to the uses for which it is
employed, poslam may be purchased in
50-cent boxes or 81 Jars at all drug
stores, particularly Rosser Drug Co
and Fred A. Shows. A free sample
which will demonstrate its marvellous
work, will be sent by mail, upon re-
quest, to anyone who will write to the

the titular role. A thread of romance
runs through the bill enlivening the

Perhaps the four PLAYERS at their hest
il the bill are Misses Genevieve Rus

Ira Herring. Orval Spurrier the lead
ing man also is good though not at his
best. He was deservingly well received
but has not a part fitting him so we'll
as that of last week. Herring as Ban
mister Strange, the scheming stock
broker, is more happily cast and shows
convincingly his part. Miss Robinson
has the best chance at making good
with the audience of any one in the
bill,-and she does it. Hers is an
ingenue role bringing out some of her
best work. Miss Russell is pleasing IN
her part though there have been others
in which she has appeared to better
advantage.
In a character part Miss Clara LIE
Mar shows her adaptability as the an
tique aunt. She fits into the role with
a nicely and probably gets more laughs
than any other player. Robert Blay-

detective disguised as a minister
puts himself to the front as player.
Roy E. billiard is good as Matthew

than the ordinary with him. Perhaps
this is true because Hilliard always is

AUTO NOT POPULAR VEHICLE
Madrid One Of the Capitals of the

Vive-Consul Summers, writing
from Madrid, says concerning the
use Of automobiles and carriages in
the capital of Spain: For the last
four or five years the use of automo-
biles in Madrid has almost over
Swallowed the carriage trade. Auto
mobiles became fashionable, both for
excursion purposes and for use in
the city. 1t was argued that their
running expenses would be less than
the maintenance of horses and car
riages. This, however, has proved a
mistake, as far as Madrid is con-
cerned, as repairs and separate pieces
are very expensive, owing to high
duties, freight, commission, trans
portation, etc., very much the great
er number Of the machines being of
foreign manufacture. Then the
price of gasoline is double what it is
in France. The consequence is an
automobile crisis, and many persons
are selling their machines very
cheaply to get rid of them, while the
carriage and horse trade, on the
other hand, is looking up"

NAMES OF PRECIOUS STONES.

The romance of precious stones is
of absorbing interest, for many
world-known gems have strange his

from I. NJ. Cullinan, who was born
at Queenstown, Cape Colony. For
many years he knew that diamonds

which belonged to Boer named
Prinsloo, but he had to wait until
after the Boer war before he could
purchase the land. The premier
mine was first opened and the great
Cullinan diamond was discovered
there. 1t is three times larger than
any diamond found before, and its
subsequent presentation to King Ed
ward VII. is well known. The Or
loft diamond originally belonged to
the Empress Catherine of Russia,
and it was given to her by Count Or
loft. The diamond was stolen from
the eye of an Indian idol and an
enormous price was paid for it.
Catherine placed the 'Orloff' in the
imperial scepter of Russia, where it
still remains-a wonderful stone, as
big as walnut and perfect in purity
and color.

life was too rushed to permit wasting
time on old memories. Indeed for

Peoples

Declarens had climbed on the
street car without fully realizing
where it was going. 1t did not much
matter, for any direction leading out
from the big southern California
city was certain TO carry one to
pleasant regions.
For a time, until they had cleared
the city streets, he amused himself
wondering if he were bound for the
shore or for the mountains. At last
the car swerved and he settled back
with a sigh. 1t was the mountains,
and in his soul he preferred them.
The restless surge Of the ocean
vaguely annoyed him. 1t touched
the raw nerves in his brain that had
trembled and thrilled to the similar
tumult of business life until his in
cipient breakdown had sent him
west post haste under doctors or
ders to idle and amuse himself. He
smiled a trife sarcastically at the
thought.
The mountains, so still, SO eternal
and nontipped with their cool green
canyons and crystal-aired heights,
touched him with an actual sense OF
a quoting hand laid on his fore
head The perfume from orange
groves assaiIed his nostrils and no
rioting breeze disturbed the scenery
which he amusedly thought was like
a stage setting in its vivid coloring.
Above all it was quiet. He was
just beginning to realize how
blessed that was. a memory Of the
roar of city streets and Offices caused
his nervous face to contract as with
pain. Suddenly, as he still gazed at
the mountains steadily nearing, he
thought Of Selma.

distinctly as on that last day, Is

ROOM FOR IMPROVEMENT.

It was most satisfactory to Ameri-
cans that one Of them should sur
vive for the finals in the national
championship. But most of those
who saw the playing at Philadelphia
were inclined to think that the six
Englishwomen entered could give
them many points as to good form
in golfng. The game is, of course,
a much older one in England than
in the United States, and many of
the women playing the contest were
among the very first to take up the
game in the United States.
