New Suit Fashions

We have just counted 50 styles Of spring
suits between $3.50 to $25,00, and 20 styles
from $3.50 to $500 and they are every one
the sort OF thing women want to put on right
now, because they are getting tired Of their
winter clothes.
Nothing quite takes the place Of a blue
serge suit in woman's wardrobe. Blue is
always good looking. 1t is becoming, tire
mendously practical. They are mostly me
dium weight serges, Gaberdines and Poplins.
Those that don't come under the mostly
are country suits and are in light colors,
quaint and pretty taffeta. Plenty in Gabar-
dine and light or soft shades, like tans, aand
blues and greens-these last with Powered
Innings,
Also, there are few with braided bind
ings and some Of soft check velours and
knitted fabrics

Hints Worth Trying.

Wash hair brush and combs In
warm water to which borax has been
added. Borax removes the dirt and
acts as a disinfectant.
When food has been scorched re-
move the kettle from the stove and
put into pan Of cold water. In af-

A Delicious
Breakfast Food
That Regulates
the Bowels

Most people eat some sort Of cooked OF
ready to serve cereal In the morning for
breakfast. Many business men in the large
cities eat cereals Tor lunch and the best
hotels and dining cars now include the
cereals served With sugar and cream or
1ruit on their menus every meal. There are
good Physiological reasons back Of this new
tendency to avoid the heavier foods espe-
cdally TOR the morning ana noon meal. As
. usual thing heavy breakfast or lunch
leaves one logy, a heavy, tired feeling-not
30 bright and energetic as II lighter food
10 eaten. One always feels a certain lassi-
who have indoor Occupations. And indoor
occupations, too, tend greatly to constipa-
ton, go when one finds cereal food that
combines high food value with positive
regulating eject ON the bowels and at the
any breakfast food or ready to serve cereal
it seems the ideal food.
4 well known Kansas City physician has
this to say For constipation Uncle Sans
Health Food Is the best thing for two rea-
sons-First the rough coarse cereal slim
ulates the peristaltic wave: second, the
natural oil Of the fax seed supplies lubrica-
ton to keep the bowels from becoming dry.
A dry bowel retains the feces and the
are absorbed. This causes liver spots, and
erupt1ons on the face. Uncle Sans Health
Food will remove all these conditions, rem
der the skin healthy and overcome that So
called tired feeling! caused by constipa ton.
This is my experience with Uncle Sans
Health Food CLEANED after constantly pre-
scribing 1t for three years."
Most grocers sell 1t at 25 cents per pack
age, and 1t contains about twice as much
II your grocer doesn't have 1t, write to
Uncle Sans Breakfast Food Co. and they
will tell, you a grocer in your neighborhood
who always keeps 1t crisp and fresh.

The Good Bad-Man" is not all
comedy. The setting is the west in
semi-primitive days and the hero Is
named "Passin' Through" AS his
name implies, he is a wanderer, but
he is quite different from the ord1-
nary type Of wanderer who is usually
very serious. Mr.. Fairbanks pres
ence does away with any possibility
of an entirely serious hero, for his
humor is such that it cannot be sup
pressed no matter what role he as
sumes. He does many heroic things
and by the force of his characterize
ton holds the audience in serious
mood while doing them; he also does
many humorous things and with the
performance of each of these the
audience laughs. In short, he again
proves himself to be one of the
cleverest actors who has ever appear
ed before a motion picture camera

Universal Unrest

We are very dissatisfied people. The
farmer is looking forward to the day
when he can make enough to move to
town and live at ease, or to engage in
mercantile pursuits. The merchant Is
looking forward to the day when he
can move out on little farm and
raise chickens. pigs and calves. The
laborer in the streets is looking for
ward to the time when he can quit a
Job he cordially hates. and so it goes,
We are a dissatisfied race of people.
If we have a lot of money We are IN
happy in its possession. and if we
have none at all we are wishing we
had. If we are welded we wish we
were single, and If we are single we
wish we were married.

GOOD SEASON
FOR THE BOATS
Captain Wisherd Looks for Ending
About September II, This
Year.

Climatic conditions which have
been favorable are said to have had
much to do with the business success
Of the General Excursion Agency dur
ing this summer and Capt. D. Walter
Wisherd who has been in complete
charge OF booking the excursions said
that the season will end about Sep
TENDER II.
Though the Sunday business might
be good after that date. the weather
is generally too cool for moonlight
trips and the business does not pay
after that date. The trade this sea-
son has been what river men term a
ripper" up the river. Many small
towns, no more than 1000 and $500
lave supported excursions better
than some Of the cities.
Farmers for miles have attended
