The Time to Stop Your
Ad IS the Day Your
Property is Sold !

IF every one who had property to
sell followed the plan Of advertising it
continuously and persistently UNTIL
1T is SOLD, no one would ever feel
property poor" And, while occasion
ally an ad might have to be repeated
score or more of times, the cost of it
would be but trihing compared to the
advantage of finding the buyer to whom
that particular property WOULD BE
A BARGAIN at the price asked.
All property in or near this city
is SALABLE. Thus the RULE OF
ADVERTISING YOUR PROPERTY
UNTIL 1T IS SOLD is a safe and pru-
dent one. OF course, the best time to
BEGIN is NOW-and as suggested,
the ONLY time to stop is when your
sale is made

There is a certain type of woman
to whom the eccentricities of fashion
give distinction not otherwise

scientious search for her own indiv-

then the best thing she can do is to

The girl or matron. who devotes
half a day to the selection ofa gown
seldom gives fifteen minutes to the
study of her own type of face and

She looks at herself in the glass,
of course. but that's to see whether
her hat looks as alarming and ex-

copied it, or whether her skirt is

Every Woman Has Special Charm
Nearly every woman has some
special charm which, if properly
studied and developed, will make
her attractive. Her clothes should
enhance that charm, should express
the individuality, which no other
woman possesses.
There is every reason of beauty
and common sense why she should
wear the fabrics and the models
which are becoming to her, no mat
ter what the fashions may be.
There was time when sleeves ex-
tending well over the hands were
fashionable, an excellent thing for
women with big hands and pony
knuckles. Yet all the women with
long, exquisite hands covered them
up TO be in the fashion.

Regnental Instead of Company Bar
racks to Be Constructed at Hawaii.
Plans have been approved 1T the
war department for the construction
at Fort Schofield. Hawaii of what Of
ficerS of the general staff of the army
believe will prove to be the most eco
nomical and satisfactory set of army
post buildings ever built for the Unit
ed States.
The plans embody the ideas of Gen
eral Wood and other staff officers re-
garding concentration of buildings
The number of buildings will be one
twelfth of the usual number through
the erection of regimental barracks
instead of company barracks. Each
regimental barracks will also include
storehouse space in the one building
These have usually been separate
buildings
The new barracks will be in the
form of horseshoe. with a double
line of buildings for officers quarters
extending down the center of the
horseshoe. Instead of separate houses
for each officer double houses will be
built to accommodate three or four
bachelor officers each. 1t is intended
to discourage the practice of early
marriages among the officers BIZ pro-
viding quarters adequate and comfort
able, but not so liberal as to form an
inducement to early ventures In mat
rimony with resultant expense to the
government
The construction will be of re-en-
forced concrete throughout. The cost
is expected to be about 100000. which
is said to be 30 per cent of the cost Of
constructing posts to accommodate a
like number of officers and men in
previous years.

How the STYLES Come

Imitation is the greatest sin that
can be urged against the American
woman's gowns. A costume, new,
daring, charming perhaps. is worn
at the French races by a woman for
whom it was specially designed.
Seen and copied for American buyers
and dressmakers, it reaches New
York in an exaggerated and distort-
ed form, is further adapted to the
special needs Of Chicago, is censored
by the Puritan consciousness of Bos-
ton, and eventually reaches that sad
cheapened and vulgarized condition
when it can be purchased everywhere
for $685. and has lost every vestige
of beauty or attractiyeness that it
possessed originally.
