First Rounded Table Knives.

During the first half of the seven
teenth century Cardinal Richelieu, the
founder Of the French Academy, be-
came offended by the rude manner in
which pointed knives were used and
thereafter caused his knives to be
rounded. Before long the fashion was
generally adopted, and the pointed
blade, which, in lieu of a fork, had
been useful in picking up pieces OF
meat, was abandoned. Since the sew
enteenth century the form of table
knife has remained substantially as
We know it.

the beginning of the week. "a Life
Compass" was the theme of Mr.. Hunt
Cooks lecture, full of high thought
and suggestion. His work with the
Boy Scouts and the Campfire Girls
was again enjoyed. An observation
contest was a feature Of the morning
exercises. Forty objects were placed
on a table and so many seconds given
to guess the number Foster Geise
won the first prize, having named %
of the articles Hunter Bell named
"a and carried off the second prize,
while the third went to Homer Pat
terson for his guess of %. Mrs. w.
H. Gurr and the Campfire Girls ar
ranged the objects on the table, Civ
ing excellent opportunity for a thor
ough test of memory.
We were told time and again to
wait until the Oxford company
reached Dawson and after listening
to their artistic presentation of SPLEEN
did musical numbers we all felt glad
we had waited. These rarely gifted
musicians received nothing but the
highest praise for their skill in the
execution of difficult numbers put on
in the afternoon and evening. 'The
best for the last" is what many are
saying, but that seems hardly fair,
since every attraction has seemed the
very best of its kind, and each per-
former and artist in partiular line,
and we verify believe some of the
best work of the Alkahest lyceum hi
been done in Dawson.
Our English cousin, DR.. Robert
Parker Miles, found a mighty warm
welcome awaiting him when he
reached the city Monday and the
folks did not lose any time letting
4 him know how glad they were to
greet him. His lecture, 'Tallow
Dips differed to anything ever
heard here and made profound i'm
preston. 1t was broad in conception,
deep in the philosophy of life and
full of human interest. There has
not been a better pleased audience
during the week than the one priv
legged to listen to DR.. Miles. His trib-
ute to motherhood was well worth
the price of a season ticket. The only
quarrel we have with the distin-
guisned gentleman is the fact that he
put England just a little ahead oil
America, and he would have shown

himself a poor Englishman indeed
had he done less.
Monday night the Chautauqua
closed with brilliant entertainment,
the Oxford company presenting Mi
kado" in costumes rich and beautiful
in Oriental colors. The stage was
gorgeous in decorations of sunf1ow-
ers and japanese lanterns. The four
talented musicians who sung this
number were hailed with a storm of
applause Their voices were clear
and resonant throughout the per-
Torrance and blended perfectly, MAX
ing their work doubly impressive and
beautiful The acting showed a ia
miliarity with the parts that made
the play move with rhythm and pre-
cision. The playing of Mr.. Burch,
both as an accompanist and in piano
solos proved him master of the keys.
The coming of the Oxford company,
taking them all in all, was one of the
rare uunDSlO IlAdI nave maui Tie
Chautauqua a delight and the last
evenings performance joy forever.
The Chautauqua was given a boost
in short talks by Colonel Yeomans,
Judge Edwards, DR.. Dean and Mr.. r.
R. Jones, each speaking strongly in
favor of a permanent organization,
and sentiment is general and wide
spread that it has proven to be the
best thing in the way of entertain
ment ever brought to this section,
and it is pretty certain that Dawson
will not let it go by another year.
Mr.. R. R. Jones, local manager, de-
serves much credit for the success of
the undertaking this year and is re-
ceiving congratulations on all sides.
Mr.. Hunt Cook, the popular plat
form manager, made his farewell
talk from behind a bank of flowers,
pretty compliment showered upon
him by the Boy Scouts and the Camp
fire Girls. Mr.. Cook will always be
held in pleasant remembrance, not
so much for the nice things he has
said about US, but for what he is and
for his work, which stands for the
highest and best.

Kidney and bladder weakness re-

acid from the blood and pass it on
to the bladder, where it often re-
mains to irritate and inflame, caus-
ing burning. scalding sensation, or
setting up an irritation at the neck
of the bladder. obliging you to seek
relief two or three times during the
night. The sufferer is in constant
dread, the water passes sometimes
with a scalding sensation and is very
profuse: again, there is difficulty in
avoiding 1t.
Bladder weaknesses. most folks
call 1t, because they can't control
urination. While it is extremely pain
full, this is really one OF the most
simple ailments to overcome. Get
about four ounces of Jad Salts from
your pharmacist and take a table
spoonful in a glass of water before
breakfast, continue this for two or
three days. This will neutralize the
acids in the urine so It no longer is
the source OF irritation to the blad-
der and urinary organs which then
act normally again,
Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless
and is made from the acid of grapes
and lemons JUICE combined with
lithla, and is used by thousands 'ot
falks who are subject to urinary dis
orders caused by uric acid irritation
Jad Salts is splendid for kidneys and
causes no bad effects whatever
Here you have pleasont cfter-
vescent lithia- water drink. which
