They have the trade of great

STARS OF THE ARENA.
"A Constellation of Aerial Satellites
With the Hagenbeck- Wallace Shows.

-
! "A genuine surprise is in store for
those who profess to have knowledge
OF who is who in the circus world
when the Hagenbeck- Wallace shows,
which will exhibit here August 3rd,
erect their enormous tents. Thev
VIII find this wonderful moving CITY
OF enchantment a big factor to be
reckoned within all future deductions
ana by process of elimination I'M
doubtedly place them in the first
ranking position among the big ones
IN the tented field. From combined
circus and trained wild animal show
they have become a manufactured
gigantic amusement enterprise which
in breadth of scope and from the
standpoint of originality of concep-
ton, is without counterpart in the
world to-day.
In the first place there is circus
a large, modern, three-ring circus
equally as large without its auxiliary
as any other show of SIM
liar character and with the ADVANTAGE
OF presenting new faces and new acts
that have never been seen before.
The circus performances are as COM
'lete and perfect as brains, capital,
ingenuity and talent can make them.
hree hundred artists of both sexes
ma with international regulations
epresent every known class of are
nc performers, and each and every
ne ls0 star in his or her respective
ne. There are companies and troupes
aerlalists and acrobats; equestrians
no equIllbrists. There are premicrs
nd coryphccs in dancing divertise-
tents and artistic ensembles; inspir-
y and beautiful tournaments and
lrllllng races. A constant quest for
'velty has been prodgiously fruitful
results, with the consequence that -
ere are presented more startling
-called feature performances than
we ever been seen before.
An interesting adjunct is the won
rful trained wild beast exhibition
hch forms an important part of this
enterprise. Hereto
e. without alluring aids, this
med Wild animal organization has
'lded attention with the largest
Yelling tented amusement enter
SEES and ndclibly impressed itself
the public mind as the most re-
rkable exhibition of the character

aled for daring and eriginalitv
ong the many actors Of the animal

HAD BEEN DOC :
I 0[RDM(G A YEAR
FOR ECZEMA
A Remarkable and Convincing
Statement of the Success of
Cuticura Soap and Ointment in
the Treatment of the Pain,
Itching and Burning of Eczema.

Il the undersigned. cannot give enough praise
to the Cuticura Remedies. I had been doctortng
for at least a year for eczema on my foot had
tried doctor after doctor all to no avail. When
young girl sprained my ankle three different
times paying little attention to it. when
five years ago a small spot showed upon my left
ankle was worried and sent for q doctor He
said 1t was eczema. He drew small bone from
the ankle about the size of a match and about
an inch long. The small hole grew to about the
size of an apple. and the eczema spread to the
knee The doctors never could heal the hole In
the ankle. The whole foot ran water all the
time.
MY husband and my were up night and
day wheeling me from room to another in
the hope Of giving me some relief. I would sit
for hours at a time in front of the fireplace
hoping for daybreak. The pain intense l
was almost crazy; in fact. would lose my rea-
son for hours at time. One day friend of
mine dropped in to see me. No had she
glanced at my foot than she exclaimed. Mrs.
Finnegan why in the world don't you try the
Cuticura Remedies Being Disguised with the
doctors and their medicines, and not being able
to sleep at all. l decided to give the Cuticura
Soap and Cuticura Oinim q trial. After using
them three days. that night l slept as sound as
a silver dollar for eight long hours. l awoke in
the morning with but very little pain; In fact I
thought ] was in heaven. After using the Cuti-
cura Remedies for three mon his was perfectly
restored to health. thanks to the Cuticura Soap
and Ointment. l will be sxty-four years Of age
nv next birthday. hale and hearty at present.
