vertising procured.
Did the newspapers tell the
truth then or are they telling it
now?
You know the extent of their
prosperity dope as to the past
year and their prophesy for the
present year.
This is what they say now.

streets in vain for work, no man

HELPS TO SATISFY THIRST
A Little Acid In Cool Water Has
Most Beneficial Effect on tho
Whole System.

Thirst Is the cry of the entire sys-
tenn for water. It is referred to the
throat. very naturally. and for the
same reason that hunger is referred
to the stomach. This Is especially
noticeable II the mouth has been kept
open, as in fear or excitement, or In
walking or working In this very I'm
proper way, simply because the rapid
breathing has dried the throat By
evaporation. The same effect Is seen
when the throat has been irritated by
drinking ice-water, or holding Ice In
the mouth, either OF which increases
the sensation OF thirst.
What Is most needed is good drink
OF cool water. If the water be slightly
acidulated the dryness of the throat is
relieved, probably because the acic
starts the dow Of the saliva. Lemon
Juice, or little citric or tartaric acid.
or few drops OF cider vinegar added
to the glass Of water Is SUFFICIENT.
sweetening does not interfere with
this effect.
Perth Amboy evening news., 1912-11-08

must be placed within, the cover
closed, and the cabinet tied with
heavy cord. Upon the tying OF tffs
cord much of the success of the trick
depends, for with cord passed around
the box both lengthwise and cross
wise, It will appear to the audience
impossible for any portion OF the box
to open. However, you will see by
Fig. 1 that the pivoted end opens very
easily when the cord tied lengthwise
Of the cabinet comes just to one side
Of the center Of that end.
While passing the twine around the
sides and ends, tho cabinet should be
kept near the center Of the table. IL
a cloth has been spread over the ta-
ble the audience can plainly see that
there is no possibility Of the doll dis
appearing through trap door In the
table. When the ends Of the cord
have been brought around to the top,
the cabinet can be rested upon the
edge OF the table without arousing the
suspicious of the audience, for they
have seen the cord passed around all
sides; this Is the time for the assist
ant to act quickly. He must reach
out from his position under the table
Gig. y, withdraw the locking pin f
Gig. ~, turn the pivoted end of the
cabinet, pull out the doll, and then
close and lock the pivoted end. In the
professional trick. the occupant Of tho
cabinet escapes similarly through q
trap-door In the stage floor, after the
cabinet has been tied up and stood up
on the floor. The cabinet should now
be placed inside of small bag, q
wand passed around 1t and few
magic words spoken; then 1t should be
taken from the bag, united, and the
empty interior exposed to the view
Of the audience After making the doll
disappear, you can bring 1t back into
the cabinet by having the assistant re-
place 1t In the same way that he re-
moved it. while the magician Is tying
the cord around 1t; and by preparing
two cabinets, 1t is a simple trick to
make the doll pass from one cabinet
to the other, and back again.

For The Boys
By Orville @. Victor

put out great number of double
breasted overcoats, with convertible
collars and all-around belts, for boys.
The demand for belted coats OF various
models will be big this fall, and chin
cbillas seem to head the list for prefer
ence.
Many mackinaw coats will be offered
for boys wear this fall, ranging In
sizes from 10 years up. Most of these
will be In color combinations, In
Guiding red-and-black, green-and-black,
shaded greys and browns. 1t looks as
though these coats will, to q consider
able extent, take the place of the
sweater coats that were 80 popular
during the last two seasons.
For the bigger boy, from ~ to 1S
years Of age, the Guard" coat prom
ises to be very popular during the COM
ing fall and winter. This coat also
has belt, but only IN the back, e1-
tending from each side seam to the
centre. The collar Is soft roll, or
convertible collar-the latter is gain
Ing fast in popularity. This coat has
a pleat In the centre OF the back, ex-
tending to the bottom from a point an
inch or two above the waist line. It
is made from chinchillas and soft
English cassimeres and woods. 1t IL
extremely attractive In appearance,
has a semi-military effect, and usually
Perth Amboy evening news., 1912-11-08

pleases thA wearer greatly. Another
coat, somewhat like the Guard, Is q
little more elaborate as to trimming
and costs a little more than the frst
Fall school suits for boys Of all
ages will be found for the most part
In grey and tan cassimeres. These
are very nifty" and are made up
with double,breasted jackets and a
plentitude Of pockets. The more pock.
cts to a boys suit, the better he likes
it. There is no doubt that these suits
will meet with great favor from the
average boy Of fourteen years or there
abouts.
The coat has three buttons and Is
finished with a si1-inch vent In the
rear and simulated cuffs on the sleeves.
Some Of the more high-prlced garments
carry real cuffs. The incest of these
are made from soft imported goods, in
woolens rather than worsteds.
The boys Russian REFER seems to
have dropped out or sight. Dealers
assure me that 1t Is dead proposition,
or will be by the time that snow ar
rives, except when made Of chin
chilla. These will be shown in tang,
greys and navy blue.
Boys blouses and Russian suits,
which have been so much in evidence
throughout the summer. will likewise
be out Of favor when the frost arrives.

THE DISAPPEARING DOLL TRICK
FOR THE BOY MAGICIAN.

Every boy Is greatly interested IN
conjuring, but today thers II such =
variety Of things to keep him busy
that he hasn't tho time to give UP to
this subject that he would have had
few years ago when there were few.
Or pastlmss for boys. In the same way
that newer pastimes are occupyins
the attention Of boys. later novelties
In entertainment are crowding out
stage magic. But magical stunts are
about the simplest acts to prepare for
4 boys show. and they are always
greatly appreciated by an audience, 80
they should occupy . prominent place
upon tho program.
1t is not my intention at present to
30 into the subject Of con1urinS be-
yond the point Of describing how to
make and operate tho apparatus for q
very unique stunt THE Disappearing
DOLL" This trick II a modification Of
one OF the so-callsd cabinet" tricks,
which Is extremely simple to carry out
and always mystifying to an audi.
encS.
In the professional act, the magician
places woman inside OF cabinet
that stands upon 3 table, after hay.
Ing exposed ali sides OF tho cabinet to
view OF the audience, then he closes
the front. binds tho cabinet length.
wise with heavy rope, sets It down UP.
on the floor. and places 1t inside OF 4
sack which he ties. Then after the
use Of his wand and the utterance OF
some words Of magic, the operations
are reversed. the cabinet is removed
from the sack, the ropes are cut. the
front Is opened, and behold the lady
occupant has vanished.
You will understand this trick when
explain our disappearing doll stunt,
which IL carried out In the Same way
but on small scale, Fig. 3 shows the
completed cabinet. This should be
