and La Vogue Suits A Little Clothing Talk
In buying these suits any woman
will find them a short cut to econ
omy. They are dressy enough for
calling, yet quiet enough for general
wear. There is a difference in suits
—a decided one. All the salient
points of any suit are embodied in a
Wool tex or La Vogue, with the ob
jectionable features eliminated.
When we can say a suit is all wool
—shrunk, man-tailored, fit as good
as skill can make it, finished care
fully down to the smallest detail,
linings and interlinings extra good,
with shape “needled" to stay, it is
more than can be said of nine-tenths
of the ready-to-wear suits made. We
offer you a Wooltex Suit with all of
these desirable features in every
garment. They have no equal. Our
suits range m pnce from $18.00 to $45.00. The colors are
the new shades for spring. We are receiving almost daily
new suits by express. You should not buy until you have
seen them.

STINGS FROM BEE
SWINDLER SUICIDED
TO RELIEVE PAIN
WHEN ARRESTED
New York Doctor Believes He Wanted for Obtaining Large
Has Discovered a Cure
Sum Under False
for Rheumatism
Pretense?
New York, March 23. The Btiugs
front the plain or garden variety of
the honey bee are being used suc
cessfully al Roosevelt hospital for
the treatment of rheumatism. Dr.
Arthur W. Swann, graduate of the
College of Physicians and Surgeons,
and a native of Massachusetts, is
conducting the experiments.
He
started them after reading the legend
of his boyhood days that a bee sting
was a preventative of rheumatic
pains. Discussing the method of re
sults, Dr. Swann says:
"I have tried the treatment on four
obstinate cases, and at least two have
resulted in a temporary improvement
in each case. I think this is based on
the fact that the btlng causes a coun
ter irritation, or that the peculiar poi
son of the bee sting acts as an anti
dote to the uric acid which causes
rhe ii mutism.
‘Tt Is too early yet to say anything
about the ultimate results of my ex
periments. I hope to try it on some
60 or 70 patients before I come to
any definite conclusions, but so far |
us I have gone I am well satisfied
with the experiment.”

PROVES SUCCESS
Dea Moines, March 2 4.—
The first year of the commis
sion plan in municipal govern
ment was completed today
and shows a surplus of |20,-
000, whereas under the old
system the previous year
showed a deficit of 118,000.

well on Boone Poyner’s place
on the east slope of College
Hill during the past few days,
and today reached a depth of
400 feet. No water has yet

strong Indications of oil. The
Trent rock, that abounds In
the Pennsylvania oil regions,
has been encountered and
there la quite a bit of oil
brought to the surface by the

deep as he can In the belief
that a good flow of petroleum
may be found.
