Relief for Rupture
Without Operation
No Big Expense-NO Time Lost From Work
No Misery-Causing Belts or Leg-Straps.
60 Days Trial to Prove Ii

Operation for rupture would hardly
ever be heard of il it weren't for the
mischief done by elastic and spring
trusses.
Mighty few people ever have to. be
operated on when first ruptured.
But wearing makeshift trusses year
after year is sooner or later almost
sure to make work for the surgeon.
You know that from your own ex-
perience-you know you're worse now
than a year ago-probably getting
worse all the tine.
If you keep on that way, how long
will it be before you'll have to I'M
dergo a dangerous and expensive
operation?
Aren't you wiling to let us prove
by a sixty-day ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
you can save yourself from all that?
Especially when you can make this
sixty-day test without having to risk
penny?
Won't Cost You A Cent
II IL Doesn't Stand the Test.
Here is something's guaranteed
rupture holder-which has saved
thousands of people from ever having
to be operated on.
IL mas SO thoroughly proven It's IHeT-
it's that we are willing to send II on 60
days trial.
Well make it especially for your
case-make 1t to your measure-and
practically lend 1t to you just for a
test.
II 1t doesn't keep your rupture from
coming out or bothering you In any
way, no matter how hard you work or
strain-if it doesn't prove every claim
we make-then you can send 1t back
and 1t won't cost you single penny.
VIII You Spend TWO Cents
To Find Out?
We don't want you to send any
money. All we ask you is to spend is
the price of a two-cent stamp in writ
ing for our big free book-that will
tell you everything you want TO know
II shows how our guaranteed rupture
holder-the famous Cluthe Automatic
Massaging TRUSTS so utterly differ
ent from anything else for rupture that

ents. How it is made on an absolutely
new principle. How il is self-resuiat-
ing, seIf-adj usting. How 1t instantly
and automatically protects you against
every strain so your rupture can't pos
sibly be forced out. And how in adj
dition il provides the only way ever
discovered for overcoming the weak
ness which is the real cause of rup-
ture-and how 1t does all that entirely
automatically.

1t seems quite safe to predict that the
Atlantic ocean will not be crossed this
year by an airship of any description.
The one unsuccessful and the one
tragic attempt which have been made,

will prevent another effort in the present

Mr.. Baker is carrying out the idea OF
his predecessor, Tom johnson, to its
logical conclusion. Mayor Johnson as
is remembered, fought long and well and
successfully to free the city of Cleve-
land from the dominion of the state of
Ohio. Mayor Baker is endeavoring to
combine the municipal and the county
governments.
This action on the part Of the Cleveland
executive is not due to the fact that
the officials of the county have been
tardy in making progress. Cuyahoga has
recently constructed $4,000 courthouse
and 400 miles of magnificent road paw
ing. But Baker is of the opinion that
for economy's sake the two governments
should be made one, ana the one nearer
to the people, retained.
Captain Boyd, who issthe city attorney
of Birmingham, has still another and
perhaps a better. reason for desiring the
combination Of the governments of Bir-
mingham and jefferson county He ar
guest from the standpoint of economy
for the people, as does the mayor OF
Cleveland, and he argues also, from the
standpoint of Birmingham and the city of
Birmingham
tits pointed out that Birmingham turns
into the treasury Of Jefferson county
each year moro than half and nearly
two-thirds the total amount OF money
collected by the county from taxation;
and whereas this is true, the city re-
ceives In turn from the county less
than $4,000 annually for the upkeep of
bridges roads and certain institutions
In which the governments have a common
and fundamental interest.
This matter in the future, will re-
ceive the attention OF members of the
legislature, and though the fight prom
ises to be a bitter one, those who viii
wage it in behalf of united govern

early future Birmingham and Jefferson
county will pay but one set OF officials.

Thackeray's "FoISer''

A novelist must create his charactei
from his observation of men. but he blum

human ng-particuarly an acquain-
e-directly from life to the pages OF
his story. Thackeray made this mistake
when he put Harry Foker into ''Penden-

the writer, who signs himself Lewis Mel

Tnackeray's other characters because he
was an accurate portrait of certain

probably this breach OF etiquette that was
the cause of Thackeray being blackballed

playgoers should have an opportunity of

Beerbohm Tree, also, is off again on
his wanderings. This time his goal is
Russia, as he wants TO study some of tho

Tree, in short, is having a thoroughly
good time of it during his enforced period
of leisure, and as Drake is still doing
splendid business, he can we'll afford to
be idle He has quite made up his mind
to do Louis n. Parker's new play, 10
seph and His Brethren at His Majes-

agrees to license it, With this purpose
a copy of the piece was sent to that high
official two days ago. Anxious to mako
quite sure of his ground, Tree has laid
his case before several well known digni-
taries of the church-the bishop of Lon
don in the number-and their replies so
far have been encouraging. On a ques-
ton of policy he, manifestly, would not
care to offend the suseeptibillties of the

possess the gift of invisibility, in order TO
accompany them unnotieed and hear
their talk. On former similar occasion

had been drowned while out swimming.

she produced a three act comedy from

| to be licensed the lord chamberlain has

Dorothy Jardine is to play the important

Pressure ON space in my last letter pre-
vented me from referring TO the produc-
ton OF ''Get-Rich-Q Quick Wallingford" at
the Queens. The lapse of week has
served to reveal that George Cohan's
farce hardly seems destined to repeat in
London the emphatic success it achieved
in New York. For this several reasons
may be advanced., First of all Arthur.
Collins has committed the mistake of en-
trusting it to a composite company of
American and English artists and the two
elements do not blend well. Hale Hamil-
ton is most amusing. breezy and de-
lightful comedian. but 1t is just because
he is so good that many of his companions
suffer by comparison. And, OF course,
there is a terrible loss of atmosphere.
Madeleine Lucette Ryley. who was pres
ent at the first performance, told me
she had also seen the piece In New York
and that the difference between the two
performances was as that of wine and
water, or chalk and cheese. Collins would
have acted far more wisely had he
