Kill More Than wIld Beasts.

The number of people killed yearly
by wild beasts don't approach the vast
number killed by disease germs. No
life is safe from their attacks. They're
in air, water. dust, even food. But
grand protection is afforded by Elec-
trio Bitters, which destroy and expel
these deadly disease germs from the
system. That's why chills, fever ami
ague, all malarial and many blood di
seases yield promptly to this wonder
full blood purifier. Try them, and en-

strength they'll give you. Money back,

Join the Funs on the Trolley

race, the three skaters to make the
distance in relays, one-third of a
mile each. The event on the chutes
will be the last thing on the program
of the evening.
MAKES TORCH OF SELF.
The skater will be covered with
gasoline and as he prepares for the
slide, the infiammable liquid will be
lighted. The sight can then be seen
plainly by all within sight Of the
chutes. 1t is the advice of the skat-
er that the spectators view the sight
from the river bank as the descent
of the chutes and the fall into the
water may then be seen to best adj
vantage. Should the program prove
worthy, there will be a weeks en-
gagement at the park and each night
the flight down the chutes will be
attempted.

herself at home in a jiffy.
She has only to get an ounce OF
pure powdered saxolite from her
nearest druggist and dissolve it in
half a pint of witch hazel. Apply
this refreshing solution to the face
every day The result is charming
marvellous. Even after the very

less plainly and the face has a nice,
firm, comfortable feeling that is
thoroughly delightful and lends self

In a recent discussion before the
British Royal society OF the phenome-
non OF "trichromic vision" the case OF
scientist known for his researches
in electrical science was described.
When looking at the bright spectrum
OF sunlight this scientist sees only
three colors-red. green and violet.
For him there IS no definite color in
the part OF the spectrum that appears
to persons with normal vision pure
blue. He can distinguish nothing OF
the nature OF pure yellow in the spec
trum. Reddish green would describe
the orange and yellow parts and
greenish violet the blue parts as he
sees them. In testing with colored
yarns the wool changed color to him
when contrasted. although a normal
sighted person saw no difference.
These facts show how different colors
may possibly appear to those about us.
