Change In The Waistcoat
The stern tailored costume OF war

means OF a waistcoat. Last year waist
coats gave gaiety 10 plain suits and
This year suits lend gaiety 10 waist

not been in vain. The sudden drying

MARVELLOUS CURE
BY BROTHER ISAIAH

For months little Edith Pitre, eleven
year old daughter of Clarphy Pitre,
clerk Of court of Jefferson DGvis Par

and useless at her side, with fingers
clutched tight, and neither doctors or
the most renowned of LOuisiana's
Medical institutions have been able to
restore its usefulness or even to dis
cover the cause for the failure of the
arm to function. After many entrea-
ties she was taken to New Orleans to
visit Brother Isiah on the bank of the
river, but was unable to see him, so
great was the crowd of sufferers.
Leaving her handkerchief as directed
by one of the assistants on the stand
she returned home, sad and disap.
pointed.
81 believed he could help me-" she
said, "and was happy when the hand
kerchief was returned by mail with
the instructions to rub it on the arm
because l felt sure it would help me,
and it did"
After rubbing the arm with the an
,nointed cloth, the fingers straighten-
ed and the arm moved from the ell
bow and then from the S boulder,
and when her daddy came home a
few hours later, she extended the once
stiff and useless arm to shake hands.
