Canton Crepe Frocks Prove There is no
Smarter Combination'than
Black and Gray
T NTERESTING because of their unusual chic and no
less because they are ideally correct for that hour when
one glibly orders, "a pot of orange pekoe and almond
torte, please" are Frocks of rich black Canton crepe.
Fabric of the same alluring pebbly weave in a delicate
dove gray tone relieves them at the neckline, waist and
forms the foundations of the smartly slashed skirts. And
further inspection these modes reveals touches of gray
embroidery employed in a decidedly "Frency" fashion.
You will enjoy trying them on and be surprised that we
are only asking

WORK IS PROGRESSING
Work at the Masonic home is pro
gressing nicely and already the en
larged grounds are beginning to take
on an improved appearance. The
cutting of trees and grubbing out
of the roots on the land purchased
of Kdward Fitzgerald is nearing com
pletion and the parties doing the
work have obtained a nice supply of
wood for their efforts. The brick
sidewalk extending along the two
block frontage facing the stret has
been taken up and in it place will be
laid a cement walk.
When the improvements are com
pleted the home will present a much
changed appearance and the posi
tion it occupies will make it notice
able to all who pass through here on
the Missouri Pacific or via auto over
the King of Trails, thus serving to
give visitors an even better impres
of I'lattsinouth than before.
Treatment of Common Colds.
"If all who catch cold could be
persuaded to remain in bed for the
first twenty-four hours of such an
attack." says a well known physi
cian, "there would be fewer cases
dragging on with distressing symp
toms for weeks and often ending in
some more serious disease." To make
sure of a prompt recovery you should
also take Chamberlain's Cough Rem
edy. Whether sick or well the bow
els should move each day.
SUIT TO QUIET TITLE
From Saturday's Dally.
This morning a suit to quiet title
was filed in the district court en
titled Earnest N. Christiansen vs
Alice M. Smith. The case involves-
several tracts of land in the west
portion of the county.

EVERYBODY'S STORE"
Yesterday afternoon the base ball
fans of the city were treated to a
real ball game at the Eagles park
when the local high school and the
team from the Creighton high school
of 'Jim's town mixed it up in the
great national pastime.
The score of 4 to 0 should have
been lessened hy three runs as three
very bad errors allowed the visit or.-
to score runs without much ett'ort
and despite the excellent, work of
McCarthy who threw a fine game anil
kept the few hits well scattered
through the nine innings. Joe was
in good form and with any kind of
an even break in his support should
have had at least one run checked
up against him.
In the fielding game for the locals
Lister in right garden made several
good catches and aided in holding
the enemy.
The visitors used Smith, their star
ball tosser in the game and he was
invincible as far as the IMattsmouth
team was concerned and was able at
all stages of the game to retire his
opponents on strike outs.
The Creighton team is one of the
fastest in the jtate and they deserve
all the credit that has been given
them as they are fast and clever ball
players and their work shews great
skill in the national pastime.
The downfall of the locals occurred
in the fourth inning of the game yes
terday when a hit through third fol
lowed by a safe drive to center scored
cue and Smith hit safe to third and
on the error of Dwyer registered
while the following 1atter reached
first safe when Gradovilie at short
became confused and was tinauL o
throw the ball to the keystone .sack
in time.
The fifth again gave the visitors
a run when Dwyer fumbled at third
and allowed the Omaha runner to
reach first from where he was sacri
ficed and pushed on into the home
station.
Frank Gradovilie was able to reach
second base twice for the locals an J
died there while Halas in the eighth
inning succeeded in traveling to the
third sack, but was unable to secure
the transportation home.

and take three of Chamberlain's
Tablets and you may be able to avoid
the attack. Persons subject to such

broke that she could not hear and .it
one time they could only communi-
ter. the play is presented by an
excellent company with Milton Sills
in the role of the healer while Miss
Ann Forrest appears in the leading
female role of the picture.
The theme of the picture is enliv
ened by a beautiful love story which
is revealed as the progress of the pic
ture takes place. ,
To see "The Faith Healer" is a
duty anyone owes to themselves and
it cannot but leave a good impression
and the foundation of a deeper faith
in the things that come from the
Fountain Head of truth. Its teach
ing is not perhaps the orthodox train
ing of the church but the lessons that
it carries with it are good for man
or woman and leaves a strong sense
of the need of more of the Divine
faith in the human heart. ,
About Digestion
It is claimed that only nan as
much food is reouired when it is
thoroughly masticated. Digestion be
gins in the mouth and a thorougn
mastication of food is of greatest im
