NEW YORK
New York, July 21.-Woeful It'd
ings these! There's a shortage in
chorus girls.
Sixteen hundred are needed for
Broadway musical comedies now in
the making, and so far only 200 have
been located who measure up to the
standards required.
First of all, let it be explained that
the 1916 chorus girl will have to be a
beauty. Patrons of the girl shows
nowadays want more curves, more
pep, more voice and more girl than
ever before, the experts say. The
1916 type must be slender, but not

angular, must know how to dance
well and must smile. Also she must
have goOd-looking bare feet and-er
-blushing -er-skin on her limbs,
because tights are no longer au fat.
The chorus girl pickers think the
lure Of the movies, the cabaret and
the dance halls have all combined to
rob the merry, merry of its usual con-
tributiOn.

PRINCESS CHOPS DOWN TREES
Alice of Greece Does 1t to Keep Her.
self in Fit Physical Con-
dition.

Villa Mon RepOS, Corfu, Greece
The Princess Alice of Greece, who was
the English Princess Alice of Batten-
berg, has spent the past summer chop
ping down trees to keep herself fit.
The Princess Alice is thirty, cousin
of the Queen of Spain. Shortly she
will take her children back to Athens
for the winter season and give up fell
ing trees to begin again her work OF
encouraging the Greek women to earn
their own living by home sewing-the
Princess Alice's own particular hobby.
The two eldest little girls, Princess
Marguerite and Princess Theodore,
eleven and ten respectively, are as
brown as their mother and as strong,
though they have not been chOpping
down trees. They have been swimming
every day for an hour and a half in
the warm translucent water of the Cor
flu Channel. Prince Andrews wife
herself is fine, strong swimmer now,
but it has not been long time since
Sheldon Whitehouse, who was then
secretary of the American legation,
pulled her out of the water and saved
her life when she had gone down three
times.
The villa of Mon Repos, the sum-
mer place of Prince Andrew and the
Princess Alice, was the favOrite coun-
try residence of the late King George,
who left it to his third son, but I'M
fortunately he failed to leave the
means to keep it up.
Prince Andrew is a colonel of a cav
airy regiment-not a lucrative en-
ployment. Princess Alice also is not
rich, and the pair, who for royalties
are poor as church mice, have four
children, all girls, sad prospect these
days when Europe is full of royal,
girls and short of royal boys to marry
them.

Umbrella Iona in Use.

The antiquity of our old and much
loved friend, the umbrella, is beyond
dispute. The Chinese, who are never
so happy as when Juggling with groups
of centuries. date the appearance OF
the first umbrella back to four or five
thousand years before the Mosaic date
of the creation of the world. Sanscrit
poets carry many illusions to its value
as a protector Of the bare-headed. In
the Chaldaic scriptures of Nineveh we
are told that the umbrella as an en-
blem of royalty adopted by eastern
nations was generally carried over the
king in time of peace and sometimes
in war.

Nuxated Iron Will Increase Strength of
Delicate, Nervous, Rundown Peo-
pie 200 Per Cent in Ten Days
in Many Instances.

New York, N. Y.-Most people fool
ishly seem to think they are going to
get renewed health and strength from
some stimulating medicine, secret nos
trum or narcotic drug, said Dr. Sauer,
a specialist of this city, when, as a mat
ter of fact, real and true strength can
only come from the food you eat. But
people often fail to get the strength out
of their food because they haven't
enough iron in their blood to enable it
to change food into living matter. From
their weakened, nervous condition they
know something is wrong, but they
can't tell what, so they generally COM
mence doctoring for stomach, liver or
kidney trouble or symptoms of some
other ailment caused by the lack of
iron in the blood. This thing may go
on for years, while the patient suffers
untold agony. If you are not strong or
well, you owe it to yourself to make
the following test: See how long you
can work or how far you can walk
without becoming tired. Next take
two five-grain tablets of ordinary
nuxated iron three times per day after
meals for two weeks. Then test your
strength again and see for yourself
how much you have gained. l have
seen dozens of nervous, rundown peo-
pie who were ailing all the while,
double and even triple their strength

You Must Haze Plenty of Iron in Your
Blood to Be Strong, Says Doctor

and endurance and entirely get rid Of
all symptoms of dyspepsia, liver and
other troubles in from ten to fourteen
days time simply by taking iron in the
proper form, and this after they had
in some cases been doctoring for
months without obtaining any benefit.
But don't take the old forms of reduced
iron, iron acetate or tincture of iron
simply to save a few cents. You must
take iron in q form that can be easily
absorbed and assimilated like nuxated
iron if you want it to do you any good,
otherwise it may prove worse than use
less. Many an athlete or prize-fighter
has won the day simply because he
knew the secret of great strength ana
endurance and filled his blood with iron
before he went into the ARRAY, while
many another has gone down to inglori-
Gus defeat simply for the lack of iron.
NOTE-Nuxated Iron, recommended
above by DIR. Sauer, is not patent medi-
cine nor secret remedy but one when
is well known to druggists and whose IRON
constituents are widely prescribed by emil
nenC PHYSICIANS everywhere. CillihS
older Inorganic iron products, it is easily
assimilated, does not injure the teeth,
make them black. nor upset the stomach;
on the contrary 1t is a most potent rem
edy in nearly all forms of indigestion, as
we'll as for nervous, rundown conditions.
The Manufacturers have such great con-
fidence in Nuxated Iron that they offer to
forfeit $4,000 to any charitable institu-
ton if they cannot take any man or wom-
an under sixty who lacks iron and in
crease their strength 200 per cent or over
in four weeks time, provided they have
fer to refund your money If IL does not
at least double your strength and endur-
ance in ten days time. 1t is dispensed
by most druggists. If your druggist or
general store is without a supply, ask
them to get it for you.-Adv.

Don't Neglect Kidneys
Swamp-RoOt, Dr.. Kilmer's PreScrip-
ton, OvercOmeS Kidney Trouble

It is now conceded by physicians that
the kidneys should have more attention
as they control the other organs to a re-
markable degree and do a tremendous
amount of work in removing the poisons
and waste matter from the system by
fltering the blood.
The kidneys should receive some as
sistance when needed. We take less ex-
ercise, drink less water and often eat
more rich, heavy food, thereby forcing
the kidneys to do more work than nature
intended. Evidence of kidney trouble,
such as lame back, annoying bladder
troubles, smarting or burning, brick
dust or sediment, sallow complexion,
rheumatism, maybe weak or irregular
heart action, warns you that your kid
neys require help Immediately to avoid
more serious trouble.
An ideal herbal compound that has had
most remarkable success as a kidney and
bladder remedy is DR.. Kilmer's Swamp
Root. There is nothing else like it. 1t
is DR.. Kilmer's prescription used in pri-
vate practice and it is sure to benefit you.
Get a bottle from your druggist.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to Dr.
Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y, for a
sample bottle. When writing be sure and
mention this paper. Adv.

Strong Men.

In order to be a strong man one
does not have to shout or scramble or
use rough language; nor need he abuse
people, or defy them, or stand in their
way. He can be strong man by be-
ing quiet and modest and saying moth
ing. He need not make himself con-
spicuous or exploit himself in any
way. A strong man reveals himself
only when there is something to do,
when courage is needed and self-sac-
rifice is demanded. 1t is necessary to
make these distinctions in order that
the fussy fellows who want to monop-
olize everything may be properly clas-
ssfied and, If need be, ignored.

dren to be supported, or to AID nus
band who has been unfortunate and
is down and out to struggle to his feet
again.
The more incentive q woman has TO
earn money the keener her desire is
to push her way through the hardest
of obstacles to obtain the highest sal
airy the work she is engaged at has to
offer The girl or woman who has no
incentive takes only enough interest
In her work to get through with it and
draw her pay, content to scrape to-
gether enough to keep the wolf OF
want from her door and shelter over
her head. She makes no struggle for
advancement, yet wonders why others
elbow her aside, reaching the higher
salaried positions.
Two saIesgirls may enter the employ
of firm together, both being placed,
we will say, at the lace counter. One
girl will not take down heavy boxes
to show other patterns of lace unless
the flOOrwalker's eye is on her or the
customer complains. She looks de-
family at each patron as she ap-
prOacheS, making her feel that she is
going beyond her right If she fails to
be suited with the two or three selec-
tons which have been laid apparently
grudgingly for her to choose from.
The other girl feels an interest in
each customer that approaches her.
Her eyes and lips smile a welcome,
her very eagernesS to please, no mat
ter how difficult making a choice ap-
pears to be, causes that customer to
look for her when next she comes to
purchase, refusing to be waited on by
anyone else. One girl grows popular
while the value of the other girls serv-
ices decreases in accordance with the
seeming dissatisfaction of patrons and
the leSSening amount of her sales. The
obliging girl becomes in due time head
of stock, then buyer, with constant
rise of salary, every penny of which
she earns. She grows intensely inter-
ested in her work, doing it the best
way 1t can be DONE This insures COM
fort and happiness for her loved ones
no matter how hard or depressing,
should never rob q woman of her am
bitiOn to do something greater or bet
ter to increase her earning capacity.
One correspondent asks: "Should a
woman keep her thoughts continually
on work or might she be pardoned if
she looked to matrimOny to escape a
life of toil?" In reply, I would say
that those who wed simply to shift
the burden of support on a mans
shoulders are usually back at their
positions again sooner than they eX-
pected, with another to support. The
working girl, of all others, should look
well ere she leaps into matrimOny lest
she jump from the frying pan into the
fire.

COYOTE HUNTING IN AUTO
Motorists Run One Down After Chase
at Night on San Fernando BouIe-
ward in California.

Los Angeles, Cal.-Coyote hunting
by automobile at night is the latest d.
version on the San Fernando boule-
ward. Recently Deputy Sheriffs Coop
er and Sweeney saw a large coyote
dash from the roadside into the glare
of the machines headlights.
Then ensued a race between the ami
NAL and the machine.
Blinded by the glare of the lights
the coyote dashed at top speed down
the boulevard ahead of the machine
until the automobile in a sudden burst
of speed ran over and killed the
animal.

Instruments bandages, though he is
too wise to let the partner of his joys
and sorrows into the secret of that
fact. He sees in the woman who gives
her hair a hasty brush in the morning
ere she rusheS to the kitchen to pre-
pare his breakfast quite a different
person from the dainty, fluffy, dolled-
up sweetheart he lost his heart to in
the other days. When he sees her
scrubbing the floor in a ragged wrap
per, or toiling over a washtub or IRON
ing board, instead of having the desire
to fold her in his arms and kiss her, he
can scarcely refrain from the impulse
to seize his hat and fly from her as
fast and as far as he can get. Home
ly home pictures cool love in the breast
of the men who have admiration for
beauty in women.
The wife finds that life holds disil-
Instruments when her husbands atti-
tude toward her is undeniably chang
ing, when he grumbles over the mud
diness of the coffee, the toughness of
the griddle cakes and her clumsinesS
in serving them. This provOkes the
angry retort that if he was so over
particular about his meals he should
have married an experienced cook,
which he we'll knew she was not.
When he answers that every girl who
marries should be able to get up a
good meal-"if not, why not'-then
the trouble begins to brew.
The first disagreement may be
patched up, another and yet others,
but with each exchange of unpleas-
antries the gap in marital content
ment grows little wider. After each
has tossed off the mask of courtesy
all the other little trials of married
life creep in. She finds out he is not
the teetOtaler she believed him to be
and that he is close with his money as
well. He discovers she has a temper.

way of uttering eXasperating back

bout the sorriest experience a wom-
ar. can have is to gather around her a
coterie of women whom she calls
friends, knowing there is not one
among them who is or would be all
that that sacred term implies. One is
always on her guard with stranger,
but she whom she trusts can break
down the gate of reserve and in a
burst of confidence win from her most
carefully guarded secrets. 1t is al

the outside world an intimatiOn that
she could unfold a scandal were she
so inclined, and in the end betray the
confidence which has been vested in
her.
1t is q rare thing for a beautiful
woman, if she has also popularity and
wealth, to gather about her woman
comrades who honestly admire her
fairness of face, her wit and pleasing
personality, rejoicing that she has such
advantages over them. If she trusts
any one of them with the knowledge
that she dusts q little powder on her
nose to take off the shine, the men
who admire her will be informed, I'M
der the ban of strict secrecy, that her
complexion is not her own by any

fright without her makeup.

If she incautiOusly takes glass of

all who claim to be friends were true,
there would be no heartaches among
maidens because of trusted chum

Friendship is one of heavens

There never were bride and groom

love, and was there ever more fra
