Ten Reasons Why
You Should Send For Brooks
Rupture Appliance

1. 1t is absolutely the only Appli-
ance of the kind on the market to-day,
and in IL are embodied the principles
that inventors have sought after for
years.
rupture cannot be thrown out of posi-
3. Being an air cushion of soft rub
Der it clings closely to the body yet
4. Unlike the ordinary so-called
pads used in other trusses. it is not
cumbersome or ungainly.
o.; 1t Is small, soft and pliabie. and
positively cannot be detected through
6. The Soft. pllable bands holding
pleasant sensation of wearing har-
ness.
Z. There is nothing about it to get
foul, and when it becomes soiled it
can be washed without inJuring it in
the least.
,,S, There are no metal springs in
ting and bruising the flesh.
g.. All of the material of which the
Appliances are made is of the very
best that money can buy, making it
durable and safe Appliance to wear
10. My reputation for honesty and
fair dealing is so thoroughly estab-
years of dealing with the public, and
my prices are so reasonable, my terms
SO fair. that there certainly should be
no hesitancy in sending free coupon to-
day.

months. Yours very truly,
ANDREW EGGENBERGER.

HAUBER THEATER.

"Susan's Gentleman will be ex- hibited in Bluebird photoplays at the Hauber theater on Wednesday, with Violet Mersereau playing the prin- cipal roles-for there are two lead ing parts, both played by this dainty actress, and both requiring just tho particular skill and artistry with which she is so abundantly gifted. ''The woman scorned" plays an inn portant part in the progress of the narrative. Because Sir Bevis Neville, who was now in love with Nancy Croyden, mistress of Croyden Hall had cast aside the love of Ora Tour cite, fascinating and scheming French widow, Ora designed to be re- venged. Therefore, she aided Nancy in an adventure with her groom, re- sulting in Nancy eloplng with her servant to America, and filling her aristocratic fathers heart with bit terness. Then the real human in- terest" begins, with the arrival of a baby girl in New York tenement, Nancy Croyden4 passing away to give life to Susan Flynn, as heritage of a romantic and mad marriage. How Susan finally makes her way back to Croyden Hall and into the heart of her grandfather, through a series of sensational adventures, constitutes gripping entertainment that will be enjoyed by all classes of "fans."

MANY MEN JOIN
 MARINE CORPS

Washington, April 13.-Enlis+- ments in the Marine corps in the last few days have broken all records in the history of recruiting. These "soldiers of the sea" are making net gains daily of whole companies and battalions at their distinctive recruit ing stations from coast to coast, ac- cording to reports just made public. Recruiting officials consider these in- creases just a start, however, as knowledge of and interest in this "two-in-one" land and sea service $ rapidly growing. Present recruiting activities indicate that the Marine corps will reach it's newly authorized strength in the early summer.
 The desire of redblooded Ameri- cans to be the first to take a shot at a periscope and the realization of the fact that we need marines as well as submarines, at this time, is responsi- ble for this material increase in Ma rine corps recruiting, according to government officials here.
 "Join the Marines-tne Minute Men of today-for immediate action!" is the popular slogan.

It has been found that the metal con- struction recently used in building box cars made them unreasonably heavy. In some instances the car was three times as heavy as the contents. It has been determined that the prop CT proportion is for the car to be as heavy a sits carrying capacity. This can only be accomplished by using wood in the construction of the car.

 There is an explosion, a melodra- matic twist in the plot which intro duces the william bent on taking the life of the hero and is responsible for a number of sensational falls execut- ed by two of the actors, but when you come away, these things will not be uppermost in your minds. It will be Baby Marie Osborne, and you will

Fashions of To-Day By May Manton

CIMPLE, dainty little corset N covers such as this one
 are needed at all seasons, but perhaps are in special de- mand for the Spring and Sum- mer. You can make this one of crepe de chine or you can make it of handkerchief lawn or of fine cotton batiste or of material of such sort, or, if you want a very dainty effect, you could use an embroidered swiss muslin. :, For the medium size will be needed, I yard of material 36 or A inches wide with 312 yards of beading and 312 yards of edging.
 The pattern No. o373 is cut in sizes from 36 to 46 inches bust measure. It will be mailed to any address by the Fashion Department of this paper, on receipt of ten cents.
 MOULD any one find a pret- \ tier, daintier little frock :! than this, at the same time it is absolutely simple, the body portion and deep yoke being cut in one with the sleeves, does away with any sewing to the arm-holes and gives pretty and becoming lines. Here, the material is a dotted challis with silk bands as trimming, but this is a design that you can use for a silk frock or for a challis frock or for lawn or batiste or cotton voile with success, or, you can make the body portion of all-over embroidery, the skirt of plain material.
 For the 4-year size will be needed, o1s yards of material 36 inches wide, 1T yards A.
 The pattern No. o372 is cut in sizes from 2 to 6 years. It will be mailed to any address by the Fashion Department of this paper, on receipt of ten cents.

by members of the Illinois council of
defense and other patriotic bodies.

pose to put it to the test that those
who are not for the government are
against it," Governor Lowden said
after a conference with Attorney Gen
eral Brundage. He would not say
whether he contemplates any action
against Mayor Thompson.
Il shall employ the full power of
the state in ~suppressing the meetings

GERMAN PRESS RAILS
AT WILSON'S REPLY

Amsterdam, Holland. - President
Wilson's reference in his reply to Pope
MAI autocracy as distinct from the Ger
mar people as distinct from the Ger
mar people are commented upon I'M
favorably by the German press. The
Tageblatt of Berlin says:
president Wilson speaks of dem
ocratization of Germany, which we
also desire, but it is an internal Dues
ton and one we consider forbidden
territory for foreigners, as a condition
of peace" sat
The Lokal Anzeiger says: "The
whole fallacy of President Wilson's
argument is clear from the sentence
in regard to the freedom of nations
which are themselves to decide their
own fate. President Wilson will not
give US freedom to decide for our
selves, but would take it from u.s."
The Koelnische Volks Zeitung,
which prints a brief summary from
an Italian source of the reply accom-
panied by some English and American
comments, says:
ITO such impudent talk one does not
answer with self-defending attempts
at justification but with the sword"
