ent habits that's all. Spendthrift says that

point. Thrift saved his money and when Oppor

PICKING UP SLOWLY
Chterful Reports Come From Leading
Trade Centers.
Dun's Review of Trade says this
week:
"Further strengthening of con fid
ence Is manifest as a result of the
betterment in some brandies of busi
ness. Improvement Is still slow in de
veloping and progress is not uniform,
yet rather more cheerful reports are
received from the leading centers.
"Conditions as a whole are not en
tirely satisfactory, but most advices
Indicate that the trend is in the right
direction. Perhaps the best feature is
the more hopeful feeling In Iron and
steel, and the signs of reviving activi
ty apparent both in finished lines and
In pig iron. There is also a better
sentiment in the dry goods trade."

Bringing Home tils Wounded
From Vara Cruz
I tW.JiWi.i;;i
ft 1911. br American Prau Association.
The United States hospital ship
Solace, carrying dead, wounded and ill
sailors from Vera Cruz waters, ar
rived in New York. The picture
shows Joseph W. Kwapich, who was
wounded by a sniper In Vera Cru,
being carried from the Solace.
SAILOitS SHOT IN BACK
Vera Cruz Snipers Did Most of Their
Work From Behind.
The United States hospital ship
Solace from Vera Cruz brought three
dead bodies to New York. Two of the
sailor dead died from wounds they got
in the occupation of Vera Cruz and the
third was a victim of appendicitis.
The wounded on the hospital ship
numbered thirty-one, of whom twenty
eight were what Is known as stretcher
cases in that they couldn't walk.
The dead are: Harry Pulliam, Clar
ence O. Hershberger and Hunter Dob
son. Most of the snipers' bullets, the
wounded said, came from behind. A
Mexican would hide In a doorway until
a squad of sailors had gone by and
then he would step out and shoot. So
most of the wounds are in the back.
Basil Burnett, a youthful bluejacket
from the South Carolina, told about
the capture of a one-legged veteran of
the Diaz army who carried cartridges
in the inside of the woodn part of the
leg and shot several' sailors before he
was suspected. He was marched to a
wall and killed by a firing squad.
Baby Is Badly Bitten by Rats.
Attacked by two large rats while
she was sitting iu a buggy in the
dining room of her home in Punxsu
tawney, Pa., Margaret, the four-month
old daughter of J. B. Phillips, a baker,
was bitten badly about the face and
hands before her mother rushed to
the rescue and drove the rats away.
Common Drinking Troughs Banned.
Kollowinn its ban on the common
drinking cup for human beings, the
Philadelphia board of heaJth forbade
the use of common drinking tioughs
for animals.

This Store At Present Is A Good
Deal Like A Watermelon.
You have to get inside to get its goodness.
The 'alterations to our building are nearly completed, and the
different departments are "taking on" a business like air and the
new goods are opening up beautifully.
Really the spring goods are a "riot of color" and appeal at
once to the man who' thinks enough of his personal appearance to
get the correct ideas, and won't accept anything else.
P. S. On June 1 there is going to be a new style Hat
"flashed" in all the cities of this country. If you care to you can
see it here long before it's shown elsewhere.

The Frolaset Corset
A Corset That Laces in front
This will be Frolaset week. We shall make an effort to acquaint I
women with the front-lacing principle in general women who have not un-
til now worn tront-iacing corsets: ana
X out the features of the Frolaset.
Four Distinct Models
For the tall, slender woman who, to offset the too great slenderness and
length of limb, must be corseted in a manner to give the effect of more
plumpness, we suggest the "Deauvill," a Frolaset model that is designed on
Fines to beautifully round out the figure and modify it so that every line
will appear graceful.
For the tall figure of opulent proportions, a figure which must be cor
seted in a manner to give the effect of slenderness below the waist line, we
suggest the "Regalia," a Frolaset model that will so envelop the "over
stout" hip, so that the figure will present that tall, svelt graceful effect,
lovely in line and contour.
For the short woman who is over plump, and who must be corseted in
a manner to give the effect of less flesh, and which, if attained, causes the
figure to appear taller, we suggest the "Marquise," a Frolaset model de
signed on lines to create the continuous, unbroken line from shoulder to
ankle, and to hold the flesh in a beautifully proportioned manner. Elastic
sections and scientific placing of boning make this possible.
For the very slender figure that is likewise short, and which requires a
corset to create a graceful contour, so that lines will appear more naturally
proportioned, we suggest the "Petite," a Frolaset model, the lines of which
are so scientifically correct, and which we find to accomplish its purpose so
admirably, that we use it almost exclusively for the short, slender figured
Slight Cut Ciiusea Death.
While whittling a stick a week ago,
George Robbins, seventeen years old,
of Blue Knob, near Altoona, Pa., cut
his left leg. The wound was regarded
as trifling until a case of blood poison
ing developed and caused his death.

Robert Peterson, aged fifty-five, was
struck and instantly killed by a train
