Rupture Appliance.
l.. II Is absolutely the only Appliance
of the kind on the market today and in 1t
are embodied the principles that inventors
have sought after for years
= The Appliance for retaining the rup-
ture can not be thrown out of position.
g. Being an air cushion of soft rubber
1t Cings closely to the body, yet never
blsters or causes irritation.
4. Unlike the ordinary so-called pads,
used In other trusses, 1t is not cumber-
some or ungainly.
8. 1t is small, soft and pliable, and
positively can not be detected through the
clothing.
G. The soft, pliable bands holding the
Appliance do not give one the unpleasant
sensation OF wearing harness.
T. There is nothing about II to get
be washed without injuring 1t in the
least
s. There are no metal springs in the
Appliance to torture one by cutting and
bruising the flesh.
g. All of the material of which the APP
pliances are made Is of the very best
that money can buy, making II a durable
and safe Appliance to wear

WC0ING HER HUSBAND
By J. S. coYNE.

Mrs. Swandown-I hope. now. you have come to spend long day with me-we shall have such a delightful chat about old times-brt where Is your husband? I'm dying to see him. Why d,i you not bring him with you?
 Mrs. Featherley-Oh, he was en- gaged-he generally is engaged
 Mrs. S.-Come, sit down. Tell me what is he like--is he good looking. kind, affectionate, domestic-does he, in short. resemble the fancy portrait you used to draw of the man whom you would select as your life partner? I remember how you painted this i'm eginary paragon of yours-youthfol as loye-handsome aJ Adonis-brave as q lion-gay as . summer bird-witty. without malice, and learned. without dlsplay-kind and affable to all, but tender, loving and constant only to ycu.
 Mrs. r. (sighs)-Ah, fiat was a schoolgirls idea; reality paints with very different colors
 Mrs. S.-Ah, then you have discov- cred the delusions we practice on our selves and fancy that the. idol you fancicd was pure gold has proved to be an image of common clay.
 Mrs. F.-'Tis too true. We have only been married twelve months and already my husband treats me with a coldness that his politeness cannot conceal.
 Mrs. S.--Impossible. my dear Flu genia. impossible! if he ever loved you.
 Mrs. File did love me-oh most devotedly!
 Mrs. S.-And how have you let his heart escape!
 Mrs. F.-I know not-I am sure, to please him, have neglected the world his interests have engrossed all my thoughts: the hours which q woman of my age usually spends at her toilet. have given to regulating his house hold.
 Mrs. S.--Hem! Intereste-house. holld--go on. my dear
 Mrs. F.-No wife ever attended moro closely to her domestic duties--to de vote myself to them I have given up my music, drawing and accomplish ments--as for my economy, have car ried it even to my own dress. which you see is of the plainest description.
The Prescott daily news., 1913-04-14

Mrs. S.-Plain indeed-and men, un- fortunately. are too apt to confound a woman with her dress. MT. Feather. ley is doubtless a man of taste.
 Mrs. F-Exquisite. And you think, then
 Mrs. S-I think you have neglected the very means by which you could have retained his affections. Instead of worrying him with details of housv keeping and monotonous lectures on domestic economy you should endeav- or to charm him as you used to do, by your wit, your gayety and your ac- omplishments-sing to him. play to him, dance with him, if he will; fas- cinate him by your graces-even pique him by your coquetry, for these are the cages in which we keep mems hearts our prisoners.
 Mrs. F.-How. Julia do you recom- mend me to employ such frivolous arts with a sensible man?
 Mrs. S.-Ah, my dear, the most sen. sible men are fools where our sex is concerned. As to those arts you call frivolous, they are the only weapons nature has given us; and if we en- ploy them to gain a victory why should we neglect them to secure a conquest?
 Mrs. F.-Perhaps you are right; but is wife's truth, her affection, her virtue, to go for nothing?
 Mrs. S.-Oh, no; they will always command the respect and esteem of husband; but if you want to fix his love you must employ little artifice, little delicate management. Be yourself the center of those pleasures which attract him; surround yourself with all that he admires, all that can please him, and never neglect those accomplishments which first charmed him in you.
 Mrs. F-And then?
 Mrs. S.-Then, my dear, the neglect ed wife will become the enthroned mistress of his heart.
 Mrs. F.-But if Featherley, as dread, has formed an attachment else where?
 Mrs. S-Ah, that would be serious. Still, I see no occasion to despair of bringing back the wanderer I will lay my life that your rival, if you have one. cannot boast the graces of mind and person which you possess but want confidence to you.

CONFEDERATE
 RE UNION.

Chattanooga, Tenn, April IA The actual work of preparing to entertain the reunion of the United Confederate Veteran s and Sons of Confederate Veter. ans has been going on for six weeks, and the results are grati, lying to the local committees ana reassuring to the veterans and their friends. That Chatta- nooga will be ready is no longer a question. It is an assured fact
 The largest undertaking, as already explained in this cor respondence, is that of building a town of tents to accommodate the veterans. Chattanooga is ex. pectlng a population of from ten to fifteen thousand for Camp A. r. stewart, composed entirely of veterans of the Civil war. Cots and tents have been secured from the government at Washington to accommodate that number.
 It is no small job to set up l,5OO tents of capacity sufficient to comfortably house 12,000 men. The committee in charge of this task was fortunate in securing the aid of troop of the Eleventh h cavalry, stationed at Ft. Og e. thorpe, under Capt. Gillem, of the regular army, to erect the tents. This means that the camp will be laid out under approved regular army plans, with every consideration for the comfort and health of the veterans. It will be in all respects the best camp that the veterans ever occu- pied.
 Reports from all departments of the work show that satisfac- tory progress has been made, and give assurance that Chatta- nooga will be ready to entertain it's guests on May ?, 28 and 29 The people of the Southern States who may desire to attend this reunion are assured of every com fort that a progressive city of 10) 900 population can supply.
