upon neighbors or sending for medi-

think of the suffering that must be
endured until medicine can be OBJ

In the first place. never come to table

when very fatigued Both these states
tend to diminish the blood supply to

hinder digestion. Do not read or study
when eating. but also do not sit glumly
silent. A little pleasant conversation
is helpful and prevents one getting int"

Dress Trousers.

Wise men make point of having
two pairs of trousers to each evening
coat, and one pair of trousers is of
heavy cloth Trousers of this kind are
probably of the same thickness as
those worn in the day. They last longer
than trousers of thin cloth and look
better all the time, because they are
not easily knocked out Of shape with
continuous hard wear every evening
Knowing this. some men make point
of always having the trousers of their
evening suit made of cloth a little
thicker than that of the coat-London

KnpPrNe COOL AT Y. M c. A,

Every one is trying to solve the problem of how to keep cool these days. A great many men have suc- cessfulIy found the solution in the r. M. c. A. shower baths and swimming pool. There is nothing better than 8 Iukewarmi shower, gradually toning it down to cold. water and then a plunge into the clear hltered water of the pool
 This water is refi1tered every day and is a clear blue color. The people he installed this filter claim that the s'one dime on the back of a ten cent piece can be easily distinguished while it is lying on the bottom of the pool and this guarantee is easily lived up to.
 The attendance at these baths dur ing the past months has compared favorabIy with the winter and spring months when the classes are running their best. An invitation is extended to all young men to call and inspect this pool any week day between g a. m. and 10 p. m. The secretaries are always glad to explain how one may secure the use of the showers and pool at a cost of less than two and one-half cents day.

wer Lytton's masterpiece, staged at Pompeii This production is without
 question the most sensational film
 ever conceived, costing hundreds of
 thousands Of dollars. The condagra-
 ton was staged during one of the most violent erl1ptions Of Mt Vesuvius, and the burning of the city of Pom peii in connection with the flaming volcano presents an awe-inspiring spectacle And this is merely an in cident in the film, in which are shown 100 lions and tigers. 5000 people and 50 g1adfators The story is charming and the gorgeous spectacle of the beautiful city of Pompeii its magnif- cent Sanphitheatre, it's luxurious and classical buildings, it's baths and ar cnitecture presents a picture of an cient grandeur never before produced in like manner The insane multitude at the time of the volcanic eruption brings a feeling of terror and awe a. sensation that can always be re- membered and which no adequate words describe Tn brief, it is a photo drama never to be forgotten when once seen. In add1t1o1 to this great fea- ture, the regular show of four reels, including the feature pictures, iwI1 be shown.
