"Aber don't people get no good idees

Well Zapp said, Il myself got a

of clothes that some magazine artists
thinks plenty sufficient for their pict-
ures. and if she would wear such clothes
on Fifth Avenue, Zapp, before the pa
troll wagon arrives, she would attract
crowd of twenty thousand people"
"But there wouldn't be no magazine
readers among them" Zapp retorted.
"The magazines has given people very
liberal idees in the matter of dress and
etiquette, Birsky. Yes, Birsky, lot of
people has changed their way of living
from reading magazine stories. Some
of EN- moves into other neighborhoods
on account of it. Take for instance Sam
Zarodnik, of Zarodnik & Karpas, in the
fur business and Sam tells me he is go

Birsky said. "Ten years ago when Ia

such a rotten state of affairs in any big
industrial community was tiger in
human form and made a memorandum
of the bull-ring idee, the shutting off of
supplies to the strikers, including milk
for their babies, and one or two other
pointers about strikes, and then he
passed it on to the Head Actuary and
says to him that no wonder people hated
the trusts when such lies were allowed
to be printed about them, and that he
should look over the story and report to-

it was as much as Sam could do to write

reading magazines yet"
What are you talking nonsense
Sam Zarodnik reading magazines?'
Zapp exclaimed. Sam couldn't even
read electric signs in words of one
syllable, like Lunch and Cafe said
he was moving away from 9Th Street
on account of other people reading
magazine stories, Birsky, which if you
read anything from magazines, Birsky,

children in cold blood, Birsky. The
magazine owner also says to the author
that he should ought to be ashamed to
write story where an American mine
owner paid foreign mine workers such
miserable wages, understand, and
that for writing such an exaggerated
and untrue story he couldn't give the
author the regular amount for the story,
but paid him $35 for it, which the au-
thor figured was at the rate of &c. an
hour for his work. Later the magazine
owner got to like the story better, so

her uncle was in the second mortgage
business and could be persuaded to once
in q while accept a bonus over six per

foreclosed for non-payment Of principal

mortgages in and out of magazine

in stories, Zapp, all property under

small children, while in real life nine

example the Klotzpick Construction
Company; Harris Klotz, president
Jacob Pick, vice-president and treas
urer, and if they decide to let the fore
closure suit go to sale, all them two

million dollars worth of improved prop

refused to take the money, Zapp, be-
cause she read the magazines so long
that she didn't believe in real life no

newspaper editor has got an idea that

KIDNEY DISORDERS

Hundreds of people have been re- Heved of the agonies caused by weak, diseased or clogged-up kidneys by using Solvax. the now remedy that quickly reaches the source of all kid ney complaints.
 If you suffer with pains in your back and sides or have any signs of kidney or bladder trouble such as rheumatic pains, puffy Swellings under the eyes or in the feet and ankles, if you are nervous, tired and rundown, or both cred with urinary disorders, Solvax will quickly and surely relieve you of your
 misery.
 Solvax is the most potent remedy
 yet devised for ridding the system o1
 uric acid and driving out all the pois-
 onous impurities which cause such troubles. It neutralizes, dissolves and
 makes the kidneys sift out all the uric
 acid and poisons left by the blood, and renders the kidneys and urinary organs clean, vigorous and healthy.
 Lee &5 Osgood, the popular druggists say that no medicine ought to be paid for unless 1t does the user some good They therefore sell Solvax under a pos itive guarantee to quickly relieve tn, worst cases of kidney troubles or re fund the money. Try Solvax todaysan( if you cannot see and feel a decided change for the better, just go to Lee S Osgood and tell them you want your money back and they will return Il without question. This Is the strong est argument that can be offered In be. half of any medicine.

Throw Away Your
 Eyeglasses!
A Free Prescription You Gan Have Filled and Use at Home

Do you wear glasses? Arc you a victim of eye-strain or other eye-weak- nesSes? If so, you will be glad to know that there is real hope for you. Many whose eyes were failing say they have had their eyes restored through the principle of this wonderful free pre- scription. One man says. after trying it: T was almost blind; could not see to read at all Now I can read every thing without any glasses and my eyes do not water any more. At night they would pain dreadfully; now they feel inc all the time. It was like a miracle to me" A lady who used it says: The atmosphere seemed hazy with or without glasses, but after using this prescription for fifteen days everything without glasses" It Is believed that thousands who wear glasses can now discard them in 8 reasonable time, and multitudes more will be able to strengthen their eyes so as to be spared the trouble and expense of ever getting glasses. Eye troubles of many deScrip- lions may be wonderfully benefited by following the simple rules. Here is the prescription: Go to Lee 6 Osgood or to any active drug store and get a bot tie of Optona. Fill a two ounce bottle with warm water, drop in one Optona tablet and allow to dissolve. With this lidufd, bathe the eyes two to four times daily. You should notice your eyes clear up perceptibly right from the start and inflammation will quickly dis appear. If your eyes arc bothering you, even a little. take steps to save them now before 1t is too late. Many hope. IessIy blind might have been saved II they had cared for their eyes in time.

 Ferrara repeated his confession to District Attorney Swann, who will place the case before the grand jury on Monday. Some of the money was used, Ferrara said, to pay other gum men for the murder of two of the prin- cipals in the plot, Greco, a saloon keeper and alleged stake holder" and Gastano Lamonte. both of whom met death.
 Two attempts were made to kill Baff. according to Farrara's confession, before the successful attempt of No- vember 19, 1914. They failed, Terra ra said, because of the police guard placed over Baff after he had receiv- ed threats on account of his activities against the so-called poultry trust.
