Green Still Fights Under

OF course you do not intend to be
close in providing for the proper bur
ial of the dead 1t is only human to
want the departed to have every at
tention you can bestow. But it does
not follow that you need be extrava-
CANT. On the contrary your obliga-
ton to the living should be considered
before you are wasteful in reference
to the dead.
kindly offers to make arrange
ments for cab service, thank him and
look after it yourself. He directs your
attention to this extortion first, be-
cause he knows / will be on hand at
once to offer you more reasonable
rates. By dealing directly with me,
you save the difference between un-
dertakers' prices, $500 and $500, and
my prices, $500 and $780,, for the
same service. Do not let the under
taker persuade you that my drivers
are incompetent, my vehicles and
horses of inferior quality. They are
not. They are the best to be had and
you will be convinced by asking any
one who has been prudent enough to
save the difference between my reas-
enable charges and the trust prices i'm
posed by those who pretend to be
your friends in time of bereavement.
I will refund your money if the serv-
ice render is not wholly satisfactory.

The Arcade.


The sinking of the Titanic, one of
the greatest disasters in human his
tory. Mortified the world and every
thing connected with this fated ship,
those who commanded her and those
who were either rescued or went
down with the vessel is of public mo-
ment
The pictures to be shown at the
Arcade tonight and tomorrow, will,
therefore, be viewed with interest and
Will no doubt attract many spectators.
1t must be understood, however. that
these are not pictures of the disaster
itself as no authentic ones, naturally,
exist
But series of the ship before il
left England, with Captain Smith
standing on the bridge ten minutes
before the ship sailed on its fatal
maiden trip, film pictures having been
taken by the Warner Feature Film
company at that time. 1t is the only
authentic moving picture of the Ii
tanic and is valuable for that reason
Another view shows the steamer
leaving the dock.
These pictures will only be seen
this evening and tomorrow.

Musical Sounds and Noise.

It is a curious fact that musical
sounds fly farther and are heard at a
greater distance than those which are
more loud and noisy. II we go on the
outside of town during fair at the
distance of a mile we hear the musical
instruments. but the din OF the multi
tude. which is so overpowering In the
place. can scarcely be heard. the noise
dying on the spot. To those who are
conversant with the power of musical
instruments the following observations
will be understood: The violins made
at Cremona about the year 1000 are
superior in tone to any of a later date,
age seeming to dispossess them OF
their noisy qualities and leaving moth
ing but the pure tone. Ii a modern
violin Is played by the side Of one Of
those instruments it will appear much
the louder of the two. but on receding
a hundred PAGES when compared with
the Cremona it will scarcely be heard

the mold was opened the bell was

IRENE old Accounting time in the
large way Of evolution. Lengthening
OF life has been possible only because
civilization has let up the physical
strains. SO IL we continue them we
must expect to break as of old.
Athletes stop their efforts merely be
cause they are beaten by younger
men. but the nonathletic seem to think
that 1t is necessary to keep up exces-
sive exercise. though the tissues simply
cannot stand it There is, then, no
mystery In the large number OF dam
aged hearts now being found. and they
will continue to increase in number
and severity until the medical profess
sion succeeds In impressing the lesson.
Let US repeat it over and over again
until every man over forty or forty

ease up the strains to retain his health.
There is no reason except abuse why
so many men break at ffty-fve or

seventy or seventy-fve, and it Is our

"The Hair and Its Care" Sent Free
Upon Request.
The Herpicide Company want every
one to have copy of their booklet
telling how to take care of and pos
sess nice hair. The booklet contains
much valuable information on the sub
ject of saving and cultiyating the hair.
II the present-day men and women
would begin to live up to the teach
ings of this little booklet it is doubt
full if the next generation would find
a baldheaded man or lady wearing
false hair.
1t is just as easy to have robust and
beautiful hair as to have thin, scrag-
gy hair or no hair at all. If the scalp
is kept clean and free from dandruff
the hair grows naturally and luxur-
iantly.
The booklet tells how this may be
most effectively accomplished by the
use of Newbro's Herpicide. Herpi-
eide destroys the germ which causes
dandruff, frees the head from dirt and
scarf flakes. The hair becomes light,
fluffy and beautiful.
Newbro's Herpicide is the original
remedy that kills the dandruff germ
for which there are many limitations
and substitutes said to be just as
good. Buy nothing but the original.
All reliable druggists sell and guar

eide Co., Dept. r., Detroit, Mich, and

inently mentioned in connection with

ian of Pittsburg. Rev. Matthews is pas
tor of church with membership of
more than 5000, one of the largest in

pastor of the Third Presbyterian
church in Pittsburg for nearly 20
years. Another name to be presented
is that of Rev. James G. X. Mcclure,

looked upon as receptive candidates
are Rev. Edgar P. Hill of Chicago and
Rev. Frank w. Sneed of Pittsburg.
Several very important matters will
come before the assembly this year
for consideration and acton. The COM
mittee appointed to confer with the di-
rectors and faculty of Union Theolog-
ical Seminary, New York, regarding a
possible plan of reunion, will make a
report that will be eagerly heard. The
seminary has been separated from the
jurisdiction of the assembly ever since
