THE ENTRANCE HALL.

Make II Suit Not Visitors, but the Oc-
oupants Of the Home.
Is anything new to be said about the
entrance hall? The smallest room in
most houses. It is usually given in the
plans an amount Of attention that
might seem out Of all proportion to the
rest Of the house. And yet the Ordi-
nary entrance. whether 1t be mere
vestibule, Il spacious hall Of the colo
NAL style or, as in our present day
fashions. a part of the living room set
of by an archway, is quite unsatisfac-
tory. 1t is unsatisfactory for this rea-
son-that the entrance way Is designed
and decorated from the standpoint of
the impression it makes on visitors,
whereas the impression we should seek
is not that made upon guests, but upon
ourselves. the occupants of the house.
Too often we give the entrance Sc
we're treatment that impresses the stu
dent OF beauty or that amazes the less
discriminating visitor by the other ex-
treme of lavish display, But how does
either of these two types of entrance
affect those who come into the house
many times every day, the good man
and his good wife and their children?
Is 1t room that by It's suggestion of
rest and repose tempts one after
hard days work at the office to drop
into the first easy chair that comes
along, or does 1t irritate the nerves and

PARADE
Is A Feature Of Bafnum And
Bailey Circus

The public halls with delight the
announcement that when the Barnum
and Bailey Greatest Show on Earth
visits Mt. Vernon on Wednesday, Sept
Is, it will present free street parade
as part of it's days entertainment.
In no particular will this new parade
be like those of the past. 1t is an al
together different idea.
Before the circus began its season
it promised surprise in the way of
street professions. 1t announced that
it would present pageant three
times the length of any other and
costing ten times as much. 1t is now
fulfilling that promise to the letter.
The open-air spectacle represents
three years work. The best artists of
Italy and France made the designs
for the various vehicles, the costumes
and fantastic trappings. The best
property and spectacle builders and
master artisans of the great theatres
of Europe put those designs into ex-
ecution. They worked night and day
for three years in the foreign work
shops of the show in England. When
the bills for all this labor were turned
in to the management they amounted
to over $1,O00,OOO. But the result of
the work is worth it, The parade
is beautiful beyond description. 1t is
a parade of ten thousand wonders and
novelties.
1t has great value as worlds ex-
position. 1t presents all types of the
human race, together with their cos
tunes, tapestries, banners, flags,
weapons, engines of warfare, statuary
and paintings, carriages Of state,
mythology and idols. A complete
street menagerie Is displayed in open
dens. There are herds of elephants
and 700 horses. The characteristic
music of the worlds peoples is rep
resented by brass bands, barbarian or
chestras, tom-tom players, weird pi-
pers, silver chimes, cathedral organs,
siren pipes, chanters, dervishes, casta-
net ballets and operate choruses.
For the children there are fete day
and kirmiss scenes, fairyland tab
leaux, depicting all the characters
from Mother Goose, Alice in Wonder
land, the Arabian Knights, the Water
Babies and Robinson Crusoe. The
tapestry and rugs are from Turkey
and Persia. The costumes are from
France. The laces are from Ireland
The scarfs, banners and flags are
from Japan. The wagons, floats, pa
lanquins, rickshaws, howdahs, palaces
and thrones are made from the fin
est woods, carved by hand and burn
ished with pure gold. he harness is
silver mounted.
There are 1880 men, women and
children in the line.
The show grounds Of this big cir
Gus are a city in themselves. Here
will be found an immense dynamo
plant, generating power for all kinds
of shops and supplying current for
5000 electric globes, arcs and bea'
cons. There is also postoffice
where mail is received every day from
all parts of the world. The show car
res it's own BARRIERS. dentists, lawyers
doctors, detectives and master me
chanics. 1t has hotel and dining
room, where 1000 meals are cooked
and eaten every day in the week. The
train that pulls the circus from city to
city is more than mile in length.

Stomach Troubles
Due to Acidity
So says New York Physician.

So-called stomach troubles, such as
indigestion, wind. stomach ache and in
ability to retain food, are In probably
nine cases out of ten simply evidence
that fermentation is taking place in the
food contents of the stomach causing
the formation of gas and acids. Wind
distends the stomach and causes that
full oppressive feeling sometimes
known as heartburn, while the acid ir-
ritates and inflames the delicate lin
ing of the stomach. The trouble lies
entirely In the excessive secretion of
acid and the fermentation OF food.
Such fermentation is unnatural, and
may involve harmful consequences if
not corrected to stop or prevent fer
mentation of food contents of the
stomach and to neutralize the acid, and
render It bland and harmless, tea

Fermentation, wind and acidity are un-

VAINLY TRY TO
STEM DEFEAT
Continued from First Pagel

over the Bulgarians in one sector of
the front in Southern Serbia is un-
officially reported through Paris. Gen
eral Sarrail's troops are said to have
driven strong Bulgarian forces to the
right bank of the Vardar river as the
result of a two-day battle.
Capture by the French of the town
of Kasturino and a defeat of the Bul-
garians by the British on the Valon-
dovo-Rabrovo front also are reported
in the advices received in Paris:
News that the Bulgarians' forward
is proceeding rapidly and has reached
point within few hours of Monastr
is said to have caused CONSERVATION
in that city, whose population is nee-
ing to Greek territory.
Judging from the size of the Bull
garian forces rushing from TetoVo
southwark and from the initial success
of their new turning movement, which
has changed entirely the military sit
uation in Southern Serbia, Monastir
is in distinct danger.
Little is known of the Serbian sit
uation in the north except that deter
mined resistance is still being offered
by the Serbians against both Germans
and Bulgarians, who have made no
fresh gains of consequence.
In Southwestern Serbia successes for
the French and British are reported.
The Bulgarians are said to have been
compelled to retreat on the Vardar
front and to have sustained a check at
the hands of the British in the Ra-
brovo section.
Both England and France have
greeted with great enthusiasm the
joint war conference held in Paris. 1t
is regarded as marking greater soli-
darity and more concerted action
among the allied armies. Although no
official information has been received
concerning the subjects discussed at
the conference, it is assumed the
principal matter under consideration
is the Balkan situation.
