Stomach trouble, lazy liver and
deranged kidneys are the cause
of rheumatism. Get your stom-

healthy condition by taking Elec-

of the Russian blouse styles.

Spring Styles in New

The penitential season came in
betimes this year and Easter is
likely to arrive in blustery wea-
ther, but nobody knows about
that, and preparations are un-
derway on all sides for an unus-
ually long spring season. when
all ones new clothes will get
plenty of service.
Hats Already Worn.
Straw hats are already much
worn though they have topped
fur enveloped costume lately,
when the thermometer has done
its best to fall to real winter
depths. Shapes are small. The
little Oriental cap styles of the
winter are reproduced in softly
draped straw, and silk crowns
and straw brims are a veritable
fad just now. AS always at this |
transition period flower hats are
much in evidence. A little round
crowned shape covered all in deep
purple violets, has an aigrette of
small half opened deep pink ros-
IS and a strap of velvet at one
ide by way of relief. Another
lower hat with a higher crown
'uilt all of deep wine colored
rush roses, has a narrow velvet
rim, and a full flaring bow of
vine colored tulle wired to pre-
erve its outline.

Prey ON POSTMASTERS
Coaching Schools Get Money Through
Examinations.

washington, July 1910 many
misleading communications have been
sent out by correspondence and other
coaching schools to coax money from
the 10000 fourth class postma sters
who eventually will be required to
take the civil examinations that the
civil service commission has made
complaint to the postal authorities 1t
IS expected that prosecutions will fol-
low and that orders will be issued
against the publications of several of
these "educationaI' institutions.
one coaching school went so far as
TO send out notices to postmasters in
imitation of civil service publications
in which it was stated that examina-
tons would soon be held and directing
them to inquire at once for institu-
lions. Another concern offered for 81
to send postmasters sample examina-
ton questions and other informa ton,
all of which can be obtained from the
civil service commission free.
So many inquiries have been re-
ceived from postmaSters concerning
these schools that circular letter has
been prepared by the commission to
answer them.
