ID ERNIT US, dear lady, to introduce
4 into your home circle at a special
sale price, a new, worthy and constant
friend-"'Pneu Form" the wonderful
Pneumatic Dress Form.
Pneu Form is unlike any other dress
form in existence. It is a non-leakable
air-chamber made of specially prepared
rubber cloth, moulded into a general
semblance of the female form, including
the hips To make it reproduce your
form perfectly, you simply place Pneu
Form inside your fitted lining, initiate it
until solid and before you stands you
with looking glass fidelity.
Until the advent of Pneu Form, dress
making days were full Of worry, fret
ting and tiresome work. To Pneu Form
belongs the credit of Transforming these
worry days into days full of pleasure
and satisfaction.
With Pneu Form at hand the making,
fitting and remodeling of waists and
dresses at home becomes a pastime in
stead of pest time. See Mesa Ave.

GENTLY ASSISTING NATURE

Those who find their breath bad in the
morning, bad taste in the mouth,
coated tongue, a mean feeling in the
lead, will do well to try Pinklets, the
new laxative.
Constipation, which these symptoms
denote, is dangerous because it means
that poisonous materials which should
have been expelled from the body are
being retained. 1t is condition which,
If not corrected, becomes chronic.
Even chronic constipation can be corr
rected by care in the diet and persistent
treatment with gentle laxative.
The use Of harsh laxatives, unfortun.
ately so common, gives temporary relief
but in the end aggravates constipation.
Pinklets are dainty, sugar-coated pills,
hardly larger than q mustard seed and
they act gently, causing no nausea OF
gripping. They aid digestion and are q
good after-dinner pill, especially when
more food has been taken than the needs
of the body require. They clear away the
waste and prevent congestion. With
little persistence, which the result is well
worth, they really correct chronic con.
stipation. :,
Your druggist sells Pinklets or they will
be sent, postpaid, on receipt OF price, "a
cents per bottle, by the DR.. Williams

! London, June 30.--Reports that the
assassination of Archduke Francis Fer

were partly confirmed here by dispatches
from Vienna, which said that the un
exploded bomb found near where the
archduke was shot was made in Ser
Wan gun factory at Kragujevac.
In the room of the assassin in Sara
ievo, the dispatches said, was found =
large sum of money. These indications
that the killings were not the act OF iso-
lated conspirators have awakened The
belief that other outrages are likely in
the near future.

tutes one of the most complete crop re-

The information gathered from these
sources shows that conditions have never
been so uniformly favorable. In the
South prospects have already material
lied. Grain is in the bin and hay is in
the stack. There has been some drought
and too heavy rainfall in some places,
but not such as will compromise the tre-

While the inquiry was not made par

appears through market reports that

and a big rise in the values of wool and
