J5- H Your boy will need a new Easter Suit Select your Easter suit at our store and you'll be faultlessly attired Easter morn Perhaps to you it seems a trifle early to be choosing Easter garments. Or perhaps you've not decided just what you want nor how much you can afford to pay. To all of these we say come in now, try on a few of the new Spring models, Inspect the great variety of fabrics, look over pattern after pattern, everyone of which is brand new and nobby; decide if you can which suit you really like best, which one becomes you most and fits you best. Then look at the price tag. It's almost a certainty that the price will be less than you've expected to pay. Those are pretty good arguments, aren't they? But here's more: Each of these new fabrics have been selected from amongst scores of others woven by the greatest woolen mills of the East. So each fabric is the best of its kind. Each of these new Spring models has been designed by one of THE FIVE GREATEST DESIGNERS OF THE EAST. Each of these garments has been tail ored by workmen whose years of experience have taught them how to make tho most of the designers' art as well as their own skill. Yet, after all this has been done, the price you pay is less than is asked elsewjiere for gannents of similar quality, and far less than you'd be asked for garments of equal quality. If you're not ready to buy, come in anyway and look around. An inspection of our new spring garments will give you a standard of value by which to judge others.

The arouBtlo properties of the large hall are excellent, adding much to the enjoy ment of the program. Applause was liberal and a number of encores were re sponded to. The chorus and oratorio work of the choir was nearly beyond description, so harmoni ously did the voices of the splendid and well trained chorus respond to the con ductor's baton. The vocal portion of the concert embraced a wide range, all show ing the results of hard and careful training and study. The group of Russian and Ser vian songs were exceptionally well sung and highly appreciated, especially the "Sun and Moon," a translation of a Russian poem by J. Polonsky, as well as the Ser vian number, "Evening on the Kava." The audience waa so delighted with Its rendi tion that It was repeated as an encore. A selection that was a favorite with all. judging from the close attention accorded It, waa "By Babylon's Wave," which was sung by the chorus last year and repeated last evening by request It Is along the lines of oratorio work and was sung by the chorus In Its most Impressive style. Latia Ilrsasi to Opea. The opening number, an ancient Latin hymn, "Alia Trlnlta Beata," waa sung in that tongue.

"The Bubble," a short selection on the humorous order, waa repeated aa an encore. Perhaps thj most effective bit of work of the shorter selections of the choir waa the clos ing number. "The Bells of St. Michael's Tower," mhlch proved very entertaining. The strokes of a bell In the distance added much to the effects of this selection. Mr. Kelly has shown again that hs Is an accomplished director, and at all times the singers In the large chorus showed the thoroughness of his training. Miss Grace Hancock acted aa accompanist for the choir. Mr. Max Ijindow. pianist, appeared twice on the program and responded to two encores.

REMOVES BLOOD HULIOilS The intimate relation of the skin to the blood is shown by the fact that impurities or poisons of any character are usually manifested in some form on the outer cuticle. Humors in the blood produce what we term in general, Skin Diseases. These are divided into several classes known as Eczema, Acne, Tetter, Salt Rheum, Psoriasis, Pimples, Rashes, etc., and each of these troubles indicate the presence of humors or acids in the circulation. The humors and acids by their irritating nature, cause the delicate flesh just beneath the outer skin to ulcerate and discharge, and soon the body is dis figured with eruptions which often are torturing to the sufferer because of Eoreness or intense itching. Salves, washes, lotions, etc., can have no curative effect on skin diseases. Such treatment can perhaps soothe the irritated flesh, ut the real cure must be accomplished by purifying the blood. S. S. S. cures Skin Diseases of every kind by purifying the blood and removing the humors from the circulation. It neutralizes all impure acids, cools the over heated blood, and builds it up to normal strength. Then the skin instead of being irritated by acrid impurities and humors, is nourished, soothed and softened by pure, rich blood. Book on Skin Diseases and medical advice free. S. S. S. is for sale at drug stores. T SWIFT SPECIFIC CO, A TLA NT A, CA. O !sVUe(s(...VlV(VVrffi 4 3 r filltf nmo hnitcoo nut nf a MT UIUV UWUJVt) UUl VJ.
