At SIS a Week.
BY Lillian D. wald. in July Altar

BY Lillian D. Valid, In July Atlantic.
AT the hearing Of the factory investiga-
ton commission In New York during the
winter Of 19l4-15. a witness testified re-
garding the dreary and incessant econo-
mics practiced by low-paid working girls.
This stimulated discussion. and an edi-
torial in a mornin paper queried where
the girls were. pointing out that the
working girls Of New York presented not
only an attractive but often a stylish ap-t
p%earance. 1 asked a young acquaintance
whose appearance justified the newspaper
description, to give me her budget. She
lived on IS q week. Her board and
laundry cost 81. She purchased stock
tngs from OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES, seconds" of
odd colors but good quality, for 10 cents a
pair; combinations, seconds also, cost
6 cents. She bought boys blouses, as
they were better and cheaper. These cost
rs cents. Hats peanut straw cost 10
cents; tooth paste 10 cents a month Hav-
ing very small and narrow feet she was
able to take advantage OF, special sales
when she could buy a good pair of shoes
for so cents. Her coat, bought out of sea-
son for 81 was betEig worn for the third
winter. Conditions were exceptional in
her case, as she boarded with friends who
obviously charged her less than she would
otherwise have been compelled to pay:
but there was practically nothing left for
carefares, for pleasure. or for the many
demands made upon even the most meager
purse: and few people. in any circum-
stances, would be able to show such ex-
ceilent discretion in the expenditure Of
tncafns.

Because, Miss Mary" was the
rather startling rejoinder of the child,

SHELDON LEWIS

Sheldon Lewis, whose Interpretation
of Dutch Joe,' in w. A. Brady's big
production of "Life,' at the Manhat-
tan Opera House and is attracting such
favorable notice, has been signed by
Pathe to take prominent part in the
new serial "The Exploits of Elaine.n
Mr.. Lewis was born in Philadelphia,
of German American parentage and
had hardly got beyond the nursing bot
tie stage before he announced to his
parents his intention Of going upon
the stage. His father was in the whole
sale milk business in Philadelphia and
this fact was remembered by Mr..
Lewis first audience in an amusing
way. He had secured an engagement
in small role at the Girard Avenue
Theatre in Philadelphia. No sooner had
he walked upon the stage than various
of his boyhood playfellows in the atY-
dience shouted "Milk" at him and the
rest of the crowd took it up. Uproari-
Gus applause greeted every line that he
spoke and to use theatrical parlance he
took the show away from the star"
Better and better engagements fol-
lowed, among them leading roles with
such stars as Dorothy Donnelly, Fran
els Starr and Blanche Walsh, as well
az with Ada Rehan in Shakesperian
plays. When the endowed playhouse
in Chicago, the first in America, was
started he was secured to play in
dramas by Maeterlinck, Henry Arthur
Jones and other famous playwrights.
He was also with Mrs. Fske in "The
Pillars of Society," by Ibsen, as well as
Becky Sharpe and "Tess of the
d 'Urbervilles. ADV.

CATARRH GERMS
EASILY KILLED
Only Way to Cure This Disease Is to
Destroy It's Cause
By a Specialist

If YOU have catarrh and want to get
rid of it YOU must kill the germs which
cause eatarrh. Stomach dosing, oint-
ments, sprays, creams. douches, etc.,
fail because they overlook this fact.
They all help by giving temporary re-
lief but they do not reach the germ
life that has found Judgement in your
head, nose. throat, and could not de-
stroy it if they did.
The best known way of destroying
the dangerous germs of Catarrh and
consequently ending the disease itself.
is to breathe into the air passages of
your nose and throat the pleasant, pen
etrating air of Hyomei pronounced
High-o-me). Hyomei is made from
purest oil of Eucalyptus combined with
other powerful, healing, antiseptic and
germicidal ingredients. You breathe it
through little pocket inhaler which
II. c. Kennedy and other leading drug
gists in Harrisburg and vicinity are fur
nishing with every complete treatment
sold. Every time YOU inhale the sweet,
fragrant air of Hyomei through aEs3 lit
tie device you are drawi.g into your
swollen, infamed, germ laden men,
branes medicated air which will not
only reduce all the swelling and in
fiammation and open your elogged nose
and stopped-up air passages. but will
absolutely and positively destroy every
trace of Catarrh germ life it reaches.
Druggists are so sure of the blessed.
lasting relief that Hyomei brings to
catarrh sufferers that they sell it in
variably on the positive guarantee that
money paid will be refunded if success
full results are not secured from its use.
Get Hyomei outfit from your drug
gist to-day and begin at once to drive
this dangerous and disgusting disease
from your system forever.-Adv.
