For once I was glad to have a
nice juicy beefsteak. Even the
crusty French bread was a sweet

side than the other.
"A broad fitted band of the ma
terial finishes the bottom, and
where the skirt fastens across the
front white ivorine buttons with
white silk cord form the trim

The same bottom and cord
trimming Is used on the box coat

The white lawn blouse with its

bows of sealing wax red velvet.
This is the only touch of vivid

.BACKACHE A WARMING
YOU SHOULD HEED
II Is One of the First Signs of
Kidney Troubles, II Neglect
ed, Serious Diseases
Follow.

No one can be we'll and healthy
unless the kidneys work properly
and keep the blood pure. When
they become clogged up and in
active, nature has way of warm
ing you.
Backache is one of the first
symptoms. You may also be
troubled with disagreeable, an
noying bladder disorders; have
attacks of lumbago or rheuma-
tism; become nervous, tired, and
feel all WORKOUT; puffy swell
ings show under the eyes or In
the feet and ankles; and many
other symptoms are noticed. IL
they are neglected, dropsy, dia-
betes, or Bright's disease. which
SO often prove fatal, may result.
It is not only dangerous. but
needless for you to suffer and en-
dure the tortures Of these trou-
bles. for the new discovery, Crox-
one. quickly and surely ends all
such misery.
There is no more effective rem
edy known for the prompt cure of
all such troubles than this new,
scientific preparation, because II
removes the cause. 1t soaks right
into the kidneys, through the
walls and Innings; cleans out the
clogged up pores; neutralizes and
dissolves the poisonous uric acid
and waste matter that lodge In
the joints and muscles and cause
those terrible rheumatic pains.
and makes the kidneys filter and
sift the poison out Of the blood
and drive 1t from the system.
You will find Croxone different
from all other remedies. There il
nothing else on earth like II. X
is so prepared that 1t II practi-
cally impossible to take II into the
human system without results.
You can secure an original
package of Croxone at trifling
cost from any first-class drug
store. All druggists are authorix-
ed to personally return the pur-
chase price II Croxone should fail
In a single case. Three doses q
day for a few days Is often all
that is ever needed to cure the
worst backache, relieve rheumatic
pains. or overcome urinary dfsor-
ders.

willie managers are continually
yseeking something of the occult or
the uncanny with which to give a
new thrill to the persons who oc-
eupy their theater chairs week
after week.
But mystery" acts are the most
difficult to land" from the
managers standpoint, because the
act must be good in order to get
across"
Lora, the Girl in the Parrot,
who was recently engaged by
Manager Pantages for a tour
around his circuit, and who ar
rived In Tacoma Monday, has
probably the most unique Of the
mystery acts ever seen here.
When the act opens, the stage
Is occupied by huge parrot with
all the colors OF q chameleon In its
gaudy feathers. The bird clings
to q perch and remains there
throughout the act. With a
voice exactly initiating that of a
parrot, the person inside the
feathers begins to do mind-read-
ing, lightning calculation, and
other occult stunts that are utter
ly bewildering. The "Lora" of
the parrot has probably no more
mystery" In her repertoire than
the average vaudeville mind-read-
err. but the setting of her act,
and the great. hunched parrot on
the stage, give a distinctly unique
turn to the stunts.
