BANKING HOURS
CHANGED

lnever rigidly maintained strict
adherance to this rule, but have
balanced their books as best they
could, while serving the public
at almost any hour. Owing to
the fact, and too, our work IS SO
very much heavier than ever be-
fore, we will have to, as above
stated ask our friends and pa
irons to TRANSACT their business
before the hours stated.
This does not mean that II the
occasion should arise whereby
you may need banking accommo
dation after "hours" that it will
not be possible for you to phone
us and get waited on, but it does
mean that whatever service we
may give you after closing will
be PURELY PERSONAL acco-
mediation, and we desire you to
know that each and every time
will mean an interruption to our
work, no matter how cheerfully
we may serve you.
We earnestly hope that each
and every patron and friend Of
our banks will endeavor to assist
us in this, and we assure you that
your efforts in our behalf will be
greatly appreciated.

One does not have TO assert the pop
niarity of the tailored suit when writ
ing of fashions. In America it goes
without saying, for the suit is always
the backbone Of the American wom-
ans outfit, for every season Of the
year. 1t fits in with her manner of
life. If our devotion. to the tailored
suit needed any sustaining it would
not lack it; for Paris has pronounced
its approval of our favorite and set
about to show what France can do in
the production of smart models. We
are glad to study these examples of
that, in this particular field, American
models will never suffer by eompari-
son. They are more likely to excel
over their competitors. But we can
not have all the good ideas and we
will profit by the exhaustless ingenu-
fly of the French.

hose who give the study of styles in

tailored suit more than anything else
needs to be carefully selected. There
are a few new phases of the mode to
consider. They include the promi-

Tore rose swiftly to his feet, draw

the box, which he shook slowly back

model for practical use is shown with

paneled back and between them, ar

in width, with the widest one eight
inches above the hem. Two bone but

appears on the skirt which in this suit
is considerably wider than those Of
the past season. At the front and

q handsome motif emphasizes the
prominence given to embroidery in

yellow plumes shining reflected in the
polished woodwork of the walls. Senior

upon the table top.
"Will you examine ii, senor2"

In toilet preparations our grand
mothers made many things for them
selves of the harmless and homely in
gradients they had at hand. Some of
thsse old recipes have been preserved
and have proven their worth in per-
forming the work they are intended
for Besides being less expensive than
the lotions and creams bought in the
shops one has the satisfaction of know
ing just what is in them. For the COM
plexion and for the hair these home
made preparations probably have tonic
and healing qualities as effective as
the manufactured articles. At least
women who feel that money spent for
toilet preparations is an extravaganza
for them. Here is the old fashioned
and reliable formula for treatment of
dry skin.
When the skin is dry and harsh it
should be washed only once day in
warm water, using a pure, bland soap,
and rinsed in cold water. This is done
in the morning. During the day use a
disappearing cream, rubbing it in and
then wiping it off with a piece of old
linen. At night rub in the cream but
do not rub it off but allow it to re-
main all night.
The disappearing cream Is made as
follows: White wax, l ounce; sper-
maceti, l ounce: almond oil, 4 ounces
rose water. ounces. Use as described

A well-recommended astringent

he was also bound for New Mexico to

General Barnett's errand to Chi

Tradition Upset.

Trouble with miners is almost pro-
verbal. In South Staffordshire, Eng
land, there were three big strikes in
successive decades, namely, 1864, 1874
and 1884, and on those occasions the
older men led the younger ones. In
the recent trouble il has been the 9TH
er way about. Whilst the seniors
were quite inclined TO accept what the
commission had given them, the young
men were restive, and the elder miners
had, for once in way, TO follow the
boys who were really out-after the
commissions reporter a day or
