When you have one of those violent,
herve-racking headaches, from inor-

reliable, pleasant-to-take remedy,
"B. c." is prepared by registered

agencies in that it contains several in
gradients so blended and proportioned
as to accomplish in few minutes
what we believe no one drug formula
can do in so short a time. "B. c."
should also be used for the relief of
muscular aches and pains, common
colds and neuralgia; for reducing fever
and quieting a distressed nervous sys-

A decrease in foreclosures of 61 per
cent in August of this year as COM
pared with August, 1882, was announc-
ed today by the division of research
and statistics of the Federal Home
Loan Bank Board and the Home Own
ers' Loan Corporation, which made
public an analysis of reports from 1114
communities that includel SO per cent
of the population of the United States.
The analysis also reported "a no
ticeable strengthening in the real es-
tate market as indicated by reports on
both rental and sales of properties in
many sections of the country
%4 For ;thEg 60 day period of July and
August, 1 a, decrease of 16 per cent
was reported over the immediately
preceding sixty-day, period in May
and June although comparison with
the corresponding periods of 1892 in
dicated a decrease of only O.6 per
cent.
In August, 1888, the number of FORE
closures was 18,O15, while for August
1882, it was 1916. In 1888 the COM
bined July and August figure was 35-
773, while the combined May and June
figure was 40,455. In 1882 the cores
ponding figures were 1920 and 37,-
440 respectively.
Decreases We're noted in August of
this year in % States as compared
with July, and 6 of the II Federal
Home Lean Bank Districts showed
decreases in August in August as COM
pareld with July of this year These
were reported in the Districts served
by the Federal Home Loan Bank of
Boston, ewark, Pittsburgh, Topeka,
Portland and Los Angeles.
The figures reported cover forecloses
on all types Of properties including
farms and commercial properties as
well as homes. An analysis of the re-
ports submitted to the Board indicates
that some thing over half of the total
number of foreclosures represent
homes.
Since the survey covers 55.3 per
cent of the population of the United
States" tne report states, "it is reason
able to assume, therefore, that in May
and and June of this year, foreclosures
on homes We're taking place at the
rate OF 5000 Fer month. That there
there has been marked decrease in
the number of foreclosures on homes
DOUBTLESS reflects a growing measure
CT influence on the part OF teh reme-
dial acts that have been devised by
the Federal Governnent. Evidently,
there is a growing inclination on the
part of Mortgages not to force fore
closures and to work out their pro-
blems with mortgagors in such man
ner that the mortgage either continues
to carry the mortgage or else is will
ing to echange it for bonds issued by

Performance Afternoon and
Evening Draw Good At
tendance Here

The Gentry Brothers circus, which
showed in this city twice, afternoon
and evening, on Tuesday, played to
large audiences at both occasions. It
had program that was very enter
taining and amusing, and something
that gave the audience a show to
marvel at the the way Of tricks and
stunts done by dogs and horses.
These animals made up the entire
performance, with few monkeys
thrown in for good measure.
The degree to which the dogs and
ponies had been trained was reallv
astonishing, and included some stunts
that had rarely ever, if at all, been
seen in this city before.
The circus had one big tent and
this was devoted exclusively to the
dog and pony show One of the at
fractions was the display of Kapitan
e dog from the Hollywood motion pic
ture center, and said to be son of
the famous movie dog Rim Tin Tin.
He did nothing except in the after
show, however, except that he was dis
played before the end of the main pro
