Honest Advertising TIIS is a topic we all hear now-a-days because so many people are in clined to exaggerate. Yet has any physician told yoa that we claimed unreasonable remedial properties for Fletcher's Castoria? Just ask them. We ron't answer it ourselves, we know what the answer will be. That it has all the virtues to-day that was claimed for it in its early days is to be found in its increased use, the recommendationby prominent physicians, and our assurance that its standard will be maintained. Imitations are to be found in some stores and only because of the Cas toria that Mr. Fletcher created. But it is not the genuine Castoria that Mr. Fletcher Honestly advertised, Honestly which he Honestly expects to receive Genuine Castoria always bears the signature of Her "Meatless Day." The day after Prosecuting Attorney Horace G. Murphy and his deputies and constables made a Sunday morn ing raid on a Muncle "blind tiger" and arrested 50 persons found there, many of the men going to Jail on various charges, the wife of one of those whose fate it was to be locked up, was con fiding to Billy Blarney, the elevator man at the Wysor building, in which Murphy as his office, says the Indian apolis News. "I'm considerably worried," she told him, "about by Sunday dinner yester day and thouglft Mr. Murphy might straighten things out. You see, my hus band started away from home about te no'clock in the morning to get some meat for dinner said said he intended to stop in at the club (all "tigers" are clubs in Muncie) and get a bottle of beer' on the way, liek he always does Sundays. Well, he hasn't brought that meat home yet, and meat nowadays costs too much to i .waste." Worried. "I don't know what I'll do if my boy has to go to war." "I wouldn't worry so much if I were you. Perhaps he won't be drafted." "I know, but I just can't bear the thought of him ever having to go." "That is a fear that all mothers have to face. Has your son registered?" "Dear me, no, not yet But I'm just worried to death for fear that some day he will be called away from me." "How old is your boy?"

"My wife," said a defendant to the magistrate in the court of domestic relations in New York, "doesn't like me." "Ah, but she does," answered the magistrate. "That's the curious fact of the matter, she actually does like you." "Well, even that doesn't cheer me up any," answered the bur dened white man. "I took her for better, or for worse, and believe me, I know what I got." Off, Morally. An old Scottish woman wished to sell a hen to a neighbor.

A gallant infantry officer who had faced a hundred perils and returned home from furlough without a scratch met with misfortune the first night home, says London Tit-Bits. In the black darkness 'of a side street he col lided with a porter's barrow and sus tained a broken arm. The limb hejrled nicely, but so long as it reposed in a sling the owner was pestered with kind inquiries from admiring friends who were blissfully unaware of the real cause of the injury.' The limit was reached one day when he encountered a former ouslness rival, who at once alluded to the now hateful subject: "By Jove, old fellow, I envy you with thjit eloquent testimony of your prowess. In what action did you come by it?" - "Hang it, sir," was the testy reply, "can't you read the blessed war news for yourself?" Lost in the Shuffle. "I was just wondering." "About what?"

METROPOLIS OF THE WILDS Spokane, City of a Hundred and Fifty Thousand People, Has Good Trout Fishing Within Limits. A city of a hundred and fifty thou sand people that has good trout fishing within Its city limits and Indians liv ing in their tepees a mile and a half away is something that you cannot grasp unless you know the West. And even if you do, Spokane would strike you as something of a surprise. . It look's as though it had been built yes terday in what was a virgin wilderness the day before and yet made complete with street cars and electric lights and everything that you could find in a New England town, except, perhaps, the cultured atmosphere. The Spokaneites do not miss the cul tured atmosphere. If you asked about it they would probably 'tell you that they prefer the .smell of the pines. For they are an outdoors-living crew. A citizen of Spokane may attend a board of directors' meeting In the heart of the city at 10 am. and at 4 p. m. he may be hunting bear. The moun tains crowd right down upon the city and there are fif ty lakes within "a ra dius of a hundred miles. Spokane, like Rome, was not built in u day, but it was set up at a rate that makes all of those old saws about how long it takes to do things look. hollow and meaningless. It was only in 1858 that the Indians got their first decisive defeat In this region and the first loco motive arrived in 1881. By 1890 they had something of a town started, but It was' wiped out by fire that year. The real growth began .when the river was turned into electric power 170.000 horse. From this giant dynamo electricity reaches out through the can yons to hundreds of mines, driving the power trams Into the bowels of the mountains, bringing wealth to the city, which sits like a spider at the ecnter of Its mighty web or current.

In a letter to the British Red Cross society regarding Mrs. Wilson's handi work, Eliot Wadsworth, acting chair man central committee, wrote as fol lows : "We are sending you under separate cover a bundle containing one dozen pillowcases, three pairs of pajamas, and a half-dozen sheets.

Button holing with white cotton holds the ma terials together at the edge. This should be done first along a basting thread to show the shape of the brim and the goods cut away afterward. A very fine picot edge of pink cotton is worked into this white buttonholing. Wash Fabrics In Hats. Plaid gingham is much in vogue for hats this summer, and delightful mod els of gray-colored, ginghams are often faced with black or bright colored straw. Dimity is another fabric that has come in with gingham, and is re ceiving its share of attention. that depends for ornamentation on chenille cord sewed in a "battlement" pattern to the body of the hat, about 4he brim edge and on the crown. There are only three selected from a variety of hats of similar character. They are representative of the sea son's styles and may be depended up on for their good style. The velvet hats are in black and the velours in dark brown; the latter is made in dark shades of all the standard colors. Patriotic Handbags.
