PANT or Not

Is horse worth more or less after
feed?
Hay and oats are high today shall
wait today and feed him tomorrow?
That's how men do about painting
their houses and barns and fences.
Paint has been high for several years;
and so they have waited. Some are
still waiting.
Their property drops a trifie a year
and the next job of paint creeps-up
creeps-up creeps-up; it'll take more
paint by a gallon year; they don't
save a cent, and the property goes-on
suffering. DEVOE

Cecil Tanning.

Mr.. Cecil Tanning gave the first of
two vocal recitals at the Bsehstein
Hall yesterday afternoon. 1t is not
often that one is fortunate enough to
listen to a voice so entirely sympa-
thetic in every respect. In no part
Of his register is there a trace of
hardness or wrong production, and a
baritone of this quality is as rare as
it is welcome. Such songs as Eugene
Hailes ''Teufelslied," and The Snug
gler's Song" setting by Marshall
Kernochan of a characteristic Kipling
poem, demanded considerable
amount of dramatic emphasis, and
many singers who are able to fur
nish this sacrifice at the same time
the purity of their tone. Mr.. Tanning
however, never once fell into this er-
ror, although, quite apart from its
musical value, his rendering of the
former song was a brilliant effort.
Other less disturbing songs in the pro-
gramme, the choice of which in itself
desires congratulation for its original
ity, were Hugo VOLTS Eur Ruh,"
1.-THE Lute-Player's House" (Winthop
Rogers) and THE Last Leaf" (Sidney
Homer).-Daily Graphic, London.

GAS ON THE STOMACH

Flatulence, or gas in the digestive tract, Is an annoying accompaniment of intes. tinal indigestion and constipation. As . rule it indicates that food is being retain ed in the stomach and intestines longer than nature intended.
 When colicky pains accompany tho presence of gas the need of gentle laxa- tive to clear away the offending food resi- due is imperative. If the condition of constipation is not quickly corrected . coated tongue, eruptions on the skin, headaches and backaches soon show that the posons have found their way into the circulation.
 The use of the gentle laxative pills, Pinklets, will not only banish these un- pleasant symptoms quickly but, if used regularly for reasonable time, will really correct chronic constipation.
 Pinklets are not like harsh purgatives that leave the bowels dry and in the end worse than before. Pinklets gently assist nature, never gripe and are so small and easy to take that they are known as the dainty laxative.
 Your own druggist can supply you with Pinklets or they will be sent by mail, postpaid, by the Dr. Williams Medicine Co. Schenectady, N. Y., at 25c per bottle. Send for the book ''The Dainty taxativs'' telling how to treat constipation.

CIRCUS MAN ROBINSON
 TIRED OF IDLE LIFE
Nay Go to Work AgaE- Says
 Freaks are Short Lived.

New York, July 23.-Col. John F. Robinson, the. veteran circus pro- prietor, who retired from active busi- ness two years ago, has arrived at the Martinique on his way to Atlantic City. Col. Robinson, who has just rounded out his seventieth year, said yesterday that he practically had quit work five years ago, and since then he had been absolutely miserable.
 ''Why?' he repeated. Nothing to do; nothing in the world but to have a good time. I tell you it's mis- erable existence, and I shouldn't be surprised if next year I broke over the traces and went back to work.
 How long have I been in the show business? All my life, and before. I was in the ring when I was only eighteen months old. But my mother rode a high school horse only four or five hours before I was born.
 Have there been changes in the circus business? Yes," with sigh. "The circus business was at its best before the trolley cars took to leav-

Of this amount $2,631,O85 was a loss to wage earners who were in- sured, and $334,140 was a loss for which the injured employees or their dependents received no ompensation from insurance.

OLD LADIES PLAY RACES.

Cincinnati July 23.-Two raids made today in this city by the police disclosed the fact that several women past the age of three score and ten have daily been playing the races. The raids resulted in the conviction of two women in the municipal court, both of them being charged with hav- ing race slips in their possession. Immediately following the conviction of the two women Chief Copelan issued orders to his detectives to SCOUT the city in order to put stop to the practice of gambling by women.

The boat is expected to weather any sea. Sivard says the only danger is in being run down by an ocean liner. While the lifeboat was constructed especially for this trip, she differs only in size from power lifeboats of the same type de- signed for actual use on ocean liners. She has a length of thirty-six feet and a beam of twelve feet, while the lar gest similar craft previously built is thirty feet long and ten feet wide. Her upper structure is. fitted with "a

ing the big towns and going out along the country roads. That was the time when in every medium sized town in the country folks looked upon circus day as the one big oc- casion of the year. Nowadays almost any farmer boy can do days work, hop on a trolley car, ride thirty or forty miles into town, see a good moving picture show, and be back in bed at home by midnight. The re- suit is that the day of the little circus is gone, and only the very best and biggest survive.
 "This has been a disastrous circus year. Not a show has made money. Everything connected with a circus has got too expensive. Billboards, salaries, feed, and transportation are almost fifty per cent. higher than ten years ago.
 "The day has passed when any circus can make a lot of money. l do not recall what was the best circus year I had, but the best the Barnun & Bailey circus had was the first year after they got Jumbo. MT. Bailey told me himself that they had cleared a million and a half dollars that year. I should cut that in half, for, although I who say it am snowman myself, when circus and theatrical men talk figures 1t is necessary to divide at least by two.
 "A rival of mine used to tell me of clearing $2,OO0 on a performance, and 1t used to make me blue until learned that he used to double his fig ures when speaking of his receipts So I wired my manager to quadruple his when he made his reports. One day I got a wire that receipts had been $2O,OOO, and this nobody would believe. As a mater of fact they had been only $5,00O.
 Those figures always came back to plague us in some way. They were good to feed the public on, but the towns would be sure to jump the price of the license the following year. If on fairly good day we did from $2,OOO to $3,OOO some of my agents would get to boasting that we had done $1O,OOO to $15,o0o When we went back the next year they would charge. us s400 or $500 for the license that the year before had cost us only $25 to $5O." .., a.@...
 What becomes of the freaks in circuses ?'' Col Robinson was asked.
 Now, that is question I have never really gone into. But it is an matter. Most of them are thrifty folk, and I believe they put away a comfortable sum to retire on. Still, you must remember that being they are apt to be short lived"
 Col. Robinson, who handled many was much interested in the case of Gunda. at the Geological park, whose chains lately attracted q lot of comment.
 "A bad elephant should not be al- lowed to live" said Col. Robinson. Some day he is bound to do some thing terrible. and he ought to be put to death An elephant is dangerous beast, even when he may not intend to be. scared elephant can do as
