WRECK TO GO AT LAST

the old submerged barge that has proven
a- menace to navigation near the east
bank of the river between the steel

long time, and tow It down the river
where it will be hauled out on the bank
and destroyed.
This news will be welcome to owners
of pleasure craft In particular, for to
them the barge has been a serious
nnrrn of riiLnrer ever since It drifted
ashore. A number of launches have
had their rudders bent out or shape d
Mmlni tn ontact with the old wrec

rious accidents have resulted from Its
presence there.

Shows Women How to Keep A

Madame Tale with her 60 odd years
and her 16S pounds of avoirdupois which
she carries as .lightly and gracefully
as most' women manipulate 120, held the
boards at the Helllg yesterday after
noon. A theatre full of women In
search of beauty filled the seats and
listened attentively to the precepts of
this woman who has defied on-creep
ing age and who looked younger than
most of the women of 30 there. '
Madame Tale is the originator of a
system of remedies which she claims
will do what no other remedies .can for
restoring good looks to a person - who
has lost them through worry, over
work, dissipation or 111 health. At the
basis of her. claims are many common
sense' instructions about open' air,' pure
water, outdoor exercise, for, she says,
no one can hope to have good' looks as
long as he la In Door health. Hh
backs up tbe use of her remedies for
developing the figure Just enough with
exercises that will promote grace and
ease of movement. She also em
phasizes the part that dress plays In
beauty, and holds that harmony of

4 Hopper of TIT Nlles street.
4 Montavllla, last night, cooking a 4

kitchen.
4 It was long after midnight and.
4 Matza Is thought to have been 4

4 the occupants were aroused, as 4
4 he walked calmly around the 4
kitchen preparing a meal for

4 with his feet cocked up on the .
cooking table and smoking a big 4
Havana cigar takeja from a box 4
4 in the sitting room, y
4 At first the Hoppers were 4
4 badly frightened, and they cau-
4 ttously asked what Mr. Matsa 4
4 was doing. He could hot speak
4 their language, but It was evl- 4
dent that he meant no particular 4

4 "poker as a weapon of defense,

The perfect way Is to cure the kid

Neglect it, urinary troubles, follow.
Doan's Kidney Pills are made for

David Campbell, 170 N. Eighteenth st.
Portland, Or., says: "My faith In Doan's
Kidney Pills today is Just as great as
when I recommended them several
.years ago, the cure they performed in
my case having proven permanent I
suffered constantly from pains in my
back and. often was so lams and sore
that it was quite difficult for me to
stoop or lift. I tried various, remedies
and was treated by a physician, but the
relief I obtained' was only temporary
and I was at a loss .to know how to get
rid of my trouble. I read, so much
about Doan's Kidney Pills that I - wi
induced to try them, procured a box at
the Laue-Davls Drug Co. The contents
of this box helped me so much that I
continued taking the remedy' and 'was
soon cured."

Evening Journal wrote of her:
'"It would be no easy thing to specify
lowances ' must be made for differences
In taste. Her English songs, 'Now
Sleeps the Crimson Petal,' 'Serenade,'
'Angels Ever Bright and Fair,' and 'The
Tear's at the Spring, were absolutely
enchanting. One might have thought
they could not be surpassed had she
not also suns- "Sweetest Little Fellow'
and 'Love Go Hang,' In a style that was
inimitable. And. on. tne unspeaxaDie
tnndarnesa of "Wav Down UDon the
Suwanee River.' as Nordlca sang It, and
the lilting merriment or uixie' as it
tell from that noble woman's Hps."
Mme. Nordlca and her company will
appear here under the direction of Lois
Steers-wynn tjoman, ana tne seat saie
opens at the Helllg box office next
Tuesday morning at 40 o'clock.

Old Watch Maker Tells Interesting
A-nviB npuut now Aioaern lime

TZeA.irU.",i.th "W, tch maker.
t7 .th" cnanK a well as the times,
In my day years ago when I finished
? apprenticeship and had gotten up to
the dignity of a regular bench worker, a
minute was sometimes ss iXLZ
KJ?-"0imdJLme" ?r .Ari hour was
fli.H. Vl mo" snd got steadily
longer as the day wore on. Every tins
the -weather changed and the tempera
tura went up or down, every watch in
the country changed time likewise.
Break a hair spring and that settled it,
your watch would never keep exactly
the same time aaaln h-ana nn 4- -i.
eould replace the broken spring with ona
" mm-ttiv iciijm anu weigm ana
power.
"We were satlafleil with attli
shift timekeeping methods in those day
because we had to ba The requirements
of that day and generation Were not as
exacting as they are now-a-days. Peo
ple did not live the. rushing, hustling,
automobile lives they do now and a few
minutes more or less didn't count so
much.
m "However, there is at least one watch
factory, In this -old rush a day world
which is making watches suited to even
this exacting age. I was down In South
Bend the other day and visited the great
watch factorv there and saw ananah
marvels to keep my eyes bulged out for A
the rest of my ?aya, I saw machines so
wonoerrut mat tney automatically
measured the delicate jewels, reoorded
their every Irregularity and variation In
slse and oreoared a flttlns- tn hold thai
Jewel which matched the variations per
fectly. Girls used to do this work In
my days and went crasy from the eye
strain. I saw watches baked and
watches frosen and subjected to tests
and strains so severe that one half as
difficult tests would have sent any
watch to the Junk shop In my days.
"Most wonderful of all I think was . a
scale used to weltrh hair serine's so that
balance and spring will always be equal
no matter now many times tne spring
was replaced. This scale is graded to
record differences Of three one mll-
lionths of a pound. With It the mois
ture from your fingers found on a piece
of paper can be weighed or your name
written on paper, xney weignea my
name there. It came to Just four mll
llonths of a Dound. and with all thin
delicate adjustment they combine such '
strength as we never dreamed of In the
old daya No Jar or bang or Jolt or the
most strenuous wear and tear of modern
life will affect the watch. It's no won
der that a South Bend Watch frozen in
ice keeps satisfactory time.
