breaches AGAINST
Collar BUTTONS

WASHINGTON, Dec. 28-Dr. Mary
Walker is in his city preaching cru
SADIE against collar buttons. She
traces numerous cases of insanity
among men to the pressure Of collar
buttons upon their necks.
She says the pressure is conducive

if men will wear more comfortable
neckwear insanity will be materially
reduced. It is the only thing in mas
culine attire that DR.. Walker taboos.

erly under his care. Last summer she

she has been growing worse. Her land

Plan your advertising for the entire year NOW:
Make your appropriation, divide it into months plan
schedule and Stay with it regularly the entire year.
It doesn't cost much to advertise in the Tribune.
Even S. month will small ad three times each
week for month. Think of it, tell IS 600 people
about your goods for the money otherwise spent for
triaes.
For 500 year, or 3per cent of your gross sales

you dandy space every other day, with untold pos
slbilities for getting trade. (New copy and

Don't be spasmodic. Don't advertise by spurts
Don't splurge Man was never known to accomplish
ures laws and cant be done It's the steady, regular
pace the everlasting keeping at it that wins in every
thing because that's good common sense; it the way

Business advertising is just good
Only requires little money. but spend that with

just how little it costs by taking ADVANTAGE of asched

MAINE IS DAMAGED MORE THAN EXPECTED

Havana, June 15.-That the shatter- ing of the hull of the battleship Maine is evidently far greater than supposed was revealed this afternoon as result of a superficial observation made pos sible by the lowering of the water level in the cofferdam a total depth of seven feet.
 On account of this revelation all plans for dealing with the ultimate removal of the hulk have become merely con jectural until more water has been pumped out. As the water receded to- day every successive foot revealed worse and worse conditions forward of
 pidships. That part was subjected to the main force of the explosion.
 The bow section is still nearly 2C feet below the surface and here it is believed the destruction will be found to have been even more complete. Colonel Black of the engineer corps said this evening he expected to lower the water a total of IS or 20 feet within three or four days. This would render possible fairly complete exploration of all portions of the ship where mer were likely to have been on the nigh of the disaster, except the bow.

TEXAS RAIN WAS
 VERY MEAGER ONE

Dallas, Tex, June 15.-The first rain drops in nearly a month, falling last night in numerous sections of north central Texas, where corn is burning and cotton must soon have moisture, gave rise to re- ports last night that the drouth had been broken.
 Todays report show that the rain was not general, that it consisted of hundreds of light showers which did some good though as rule the moisture was hardly more than enough to lay the dust. A few points, however, reported a good drenching.
 Dallas and Fort Worth appear to have been nearest the center of the storm area, which extended 75 to 100 miles in every direction from these cities. Here the pre- cipitation was .22 of an inch. A few miles north of this city the rain was heavy but the heavy precipitation bene- flted only a few eauare miles Paris was the only north Texas town reporting rain today, light drizzle fall ing there this afternoon. A score of north Texas towns reported light rains, but with scarcely an excep- tion the moisture was declared to be too light to affect corn, though of some bene- lit to cotton
