One Of the young women who was

which was given on Monday evening
at City hall. by the members of Co.
II of the Sd Regiment, evidently had
such a good time that she forgot
whether she wore hat or not when
she went to the ball. She wo,e v,,e
all right. for she had the hat check
ed. but when she left the hall for
home she didn't call for the piece Of
headgear and as result it has been
hanging on the wall in the city mar

the hat is just beyond the reach of

comes to the matter Of a description.
but the hat is Of black straw with a
high crown and wide rim, the lat
ter being turned up in front and
trimmed off to give the appearance
Of wings. the rest Of the rim being
cut off close to the crown, the trim

Of home talent. The front Of the hat,
where the rim is turned up is en-
bellished with spray Of pink and
blue flowers and few leaves. The
owner Of the hat can secure it by
calling at the police station at City

A certain unassuming gentleman In
this city who happens to be a promi-

cause Of his physical condition tells this
remarkable and most interesting tale:
''For a number Of years.. he said. Il
have been so closely connned to my
business working zealously to make my
store representative in every respect
that wear and tear finally got me, my
face became drawn and haggard and
my disposition seemed to urge people
to eyade me. 1t was then that I began
to despise my own company.
Ny bookkeeper one day suggested that
I needed rest and that my nerves re-
uuired attention. She told me that her
father had taken Phosphated Iron when
in my condition. Look at him now, she
said. He works ten hours a day and Is
the happiest man in the world.
IAN this happened less than a month
Ego. l followed the advice and look
at me now. Back in the harness with
a smile all the while I am feeling
more At than ever. When I see a tired
looking face the name OF Phosphated
Iron Immediately comes in my mind. I
am convinced that it Is converting
many a worn out body into life rich
In thought. ambition and enthusiasm. ).

Phosphated Iron we have put in cap
eules only. so do not allow dealers to

both of whom have risen to the very'
