THE WEATHER.

The weather during the past few
days has been clear and uuseasomabIY
mild, notwithstanding forecasts 10 the
effect that cooler conditions were TO
prevail. Indications OF severe ssorm,
which may strike the South Atlantic
States, has been reported to the
Weather Bureau from Turks Island,
one Of the Leewari Islands, about fOo
miles distant from Miami, Fla. They
were of such a character that the otii-
Gals of the Bureau deemed it advisable
to issue cautionary adyices to points on
the South Atlantic. The observer at
Turks Island yesterday gave the ba-
rnmeter reading as 9.G3 inches aud
practically no wind. which, weather
experts declare, is evidence that the
storm was close ut hand. The belief is
that one OF the storms Of the West Iu-
dian hurricane season is on its way.

If you want to stay in business
stay in the advertising field.
No matter how much business YOU

You might as we'll cut off your leg

The only man who doesn't need to
