city comptroller, which trust he now
holds.
As city treasurer, Mr.. Traeger turned
over to the city without hesitation every
dollar earned as interest. This action
called forth much favorable comment
from the press and from civic societies
at that time.
As city comptroller, Mr.. Traeger in
augurated many reforms, especially the
practice of selling bonds of the city
directly to the people. More than
100000 in bonds were thus sold at
par, making a saving to the city Of
about 1000, giving the citizens q de-
sirable investment and demonstrating
what may be done when smaller de-
nominations can be offered.
Mr.. and Mrs. Traeger, with their
three children, reside in a beautiful
home of their own at 921 West 54th
Place and from October l, 1899, down
to the present time The Broad Az has
been a constant fixture in their home.

People ruled by the mood of gloom attract to them gloomy things, The hopeful, confident and cheerful attract the clements of success. A mans front or back yard will advertise that mans ruling mood in the way it is kept A woman at home shows her state of mind in her dress. X slattern advertises the ruling mood of hopeless ness, carelessness and lack of system. Rags, tatters and dirt are always in the mind before being on the body. The thought that Is most put out brings its corresponding visible element to crystalline about you as surely and literally as the visible bit of copper in solution attracts to 1t the invisible cop per in that solution. Every thought of yours has literal value to you in ev- cry possible way. In whatever mood you set your mind does your spirit re cefve of unseen substance in core spondence with that mood.-Prent1ce Mulford

Waves are used on the ocean ana fin hair. They come in crests, breakera and curling irons. They are also put up in ether when they cannot be seen, and you have to take the dealers word that you are getting your moneys worth.
 Warm waves are common to both summer and winter. Tn summer they come just when, owing to the delight. fuI weather ana a careful perusal of the old Farmers Almanac, you have made all your arrangements to stay home. In winter, when you have filed your furnace with two or three tons of coal and turned on all the drafts, until you have a bed of coals thai would take blue ribbon in hades and nobody can put it out but the fire de. partment.
