[EW MORE DAYS AND STRAW
HAT DIES NATURAL DEATH;
NEW BEANIES COMING HIGH
THE ADVENT OF FALL SPELLS
pOOM OF LIGHTER COVERING.
DERBIES AND VELOURS MEET
| FASHION’S TASTE.
The old headpiece’ v
| Its service must cease,
For the summer season 1s o'er;
Its crown is yellow,
Jts brim is mellow,
We cannot wear it any more.
Goodbye old straw hat, your days
of usefulness are over and style for
pids you being worn any more this
geason for the advent of fall
has caused the merchants to put
vou away and decorate their win
dows with a large and varied stock
of winter headwear.
While there are yet many straw
lids being worn, the majority of
them show from their color that they
have been good and faithful servants
for many months. They are yellow;
some of them not so much from age
as from the hard wear in sunshine
and rain. v .
There are many men who, while
financially able to purchase as many
hats as they wish, put off buying a
new one as long as possible. Unlike
the fairer sex, who have been accus
ed of being very anxious to don new
millinery, the longer a man wears a
hat the better it feels to his head
and in giving it up is like losing an
old friend.
One must have a-new hat, though,
for the season is over and style for
bids wearing a straw any longer this
summer and in changing back to the
felt hat there is some consolation,
for the change is much easier than
in the spring, when the wearer fears
he will be too conspicuous in a brand
new straw “lid:”
The show windows are full of new
hats in all shapes, styles and colors,
which will be worn this year. At
first glance one will think they are
hich, but in comparison with every
thing else this day and time which
mortal man must pay for the price
i< no higher than other articles of
merchandise. Prices run from $5 to
¢3O. including war tax, but mer
chants say the $5 hat is a very cheap |
piece of goods and some of the lead
ine stores are not handling anything
for less than $6.00.
There is no very great change in
the stvles of men’s hats this season.
but of course there are certain |
shapes or colors, which, it i% said,
will predominate. Something nobby
in a derby for the college boys or
vounger men will be very popular
this vear. This is a stiff hat, low in

Beaver and velour finish will also
be popular, merchants say, and the
Scratch or rough finish in felt hats
with plain and fancy colors are be
ing shown extensively. Men will wear
their hats this year, ‘“fashion ex
perts” say, with the crowns creased,
with a fancy crease having been
worked out to perfection for the col
lege students. Both wide and low
bands will be‘worn.
Usually very little thought is given
by the public to style in men’s hats,
but a few minutes’ conversation with
some of the leading merchants as to
“what the men will wear’” proves
that even man must bow to fashion.
WELL BE ABANDONED?
MERCHANTS AND CITIZENS PRO
TEST VIGOROUSLY TO COUN
CIL AGAINST SUCH ACTION.
Much interest is being shown by
citizens generally in what is about
to happen to the old artesian well
at the intersection of Lee and Main
streets. Removal of the pump to ex
pedite the work of paving has already
been accomplished, but the possible
abandonment of the well is being
vigorously opposed by many of the
business interests of the town. :
A few days ago the report gained
currency that the well would be dis
mantled and no longer used, where
upon a petition was circulated.pro
testing against such a change. This
petition was signed by scores of citi
zens, and was presented to the city
council. It is understood that a na
jority of that body are opvosed to
doing away with the well. Present
indications are, it is said, that a
more modern lifting apparatus will
be installed and the well continued
in use. .
The well was drilled at a cost of
severa] thousand dollars many years
ago, and has long furnished the
greatest source of drinking water to
merchants and visitors in Dawson.
It has been pointed out that its
abandonment would work a great
hardship, particularly on the hun
dreds of visitors who ceme to Daw
son from the country each Saturday.

aittions of folks bathe 4 internally

ou say. Well, it is guaranteed to per
‘orni miracles if you could believe
‘lese hot water enthusiasts.
There are vast numbers of men ana
~omen who, immediately upon arising
in the morning, drink a glass of reai
hot water with a teaspoonful of lime
stone phosphate in it. This is a very
excellent health measure. 1t is in
tended to flush the stomach, liver, kid
neys and the thirty feet of intestines
of the previous day’s waste, sour bile
and indigestible material left over in
the body which if not eliminated every
day, become food for the milliors of
bacteria which infest the bowels, the
quick result is poisons and toxins
which are then absorbed into the blood
causing headache, bilious attacks, foui
breath, bad taste, colds, stomach trou
ble, kidney misery, gleeplessness, im
pure blood and all sorts of ailments.
People who feel good one day and
badly the next, but who simply can
not get feeling right are urged to
obtain a quarter pound of limestone
phosphate at the drug store. This
will cost very little but -is sufiicient
to make anynne a real crank on the
subject of internal sanitation.
Just as soap and hot water act on
the skin, cleansing, gweetening and
sreshening, so limestone phosphate and
hot water act on the stomach, liver,
kidneys and bowels. It is vastly more
important to bathe on the inside than
on the outside, because the skin pores
do not absorb impurities into the
blood, while the bowel pores do.’ o

First Step in Treatment Is a Brisk
Purgative With Calotabs, the
Purified and Refined Calomel
Tablets that are Nausea
less, Safe eand Sure.
Doctors have found by experience
that no medicine for colds and influ
enza can be depended upon for full ef
fectiveness until the liver is made thor
oughly active. That is why the first
step in the treatment is the new, nausea
less colomel tablets called Calotabs,
which are free from the sickening and
weakening effects of the old style calo
mel. ¢ Doctors also point out the fact
that an active liver may go a long way
towards preventing infiuenza and is one
of the most important factors in en
abling the patient to successfully with
stand an attack and ward off pneu
monia.
One Calotab on the tongue at bed
time with a swallow of water—that’s
all. No salts, no nausea nor the slight
est interference with your eating, pleas
ure or work. Next morning your cold
has vanished, your liver is active, your
system is purified, and you are feeling
fine, with a hearty appetite for break
fast. - Druggists sell Calotabs only in
original sealed packages, price thirty
five cents. Your money will be cheer
fully refunded if you do not find them
delightful.—(Adv.) :
