You know most people under­ stand better about buying Shoes and Stockings that are suitable for their feek A Shoe is se­ lected primarily for its appearance and tried on with the hope that it will fit. Sometimes it does fit, but rpore often it "is absolutely unsuited to the foot. This is in no way the fault of the person who sells it, but rather due to inability., on the part of the purchaser to know his or her particular need. The shape of the foot should be studied carefully and attention given to the sort of Shoe that is found to be most comfort­ able. While it is true that every one's feet are different from everyone's else, there is e) lough general resemblance in feet to make it possible to find ready-made Shoes which are both com­ fortable and smart looking. We have them. $2.50 for men's patent leathers just now, regu­ lar price $3:50.' But we must sell. Will tell you more about this when you come.

SSflViiiker's "Houie Folks," the new melodrama by C. Dazey, will inaugurate the spring season at McVicker's theater, and will mark the return to the Litt policy of big productions at moderate prices. The new play has a number of scenes in which an army of supernumeraries is used, notably the scene ot the picnic on the banki? of the noble Mississippi. In this picture of merrymaking a great (•addle-wheeled steamboat is nsed with fine effect. The boat, crowded to the guards with men, women and children, aud the big country band, comes up to the landing place and its load of pic nickers get off and prepare to enjoy their day in the woods. There are po­ tato races, sack races, a greased pole climbing and all of the other features of a real picnic such as used to be given forty years ago when people lived more for the joy of life tfiau in these com tuercial days. Another of the scenes wherein a crowd is handled with all the naturalness of real life is that of the country dance and the apple-parin' at the Selby farm, a big place on the bluffs overlooking the. broad river, the "Fa­ ther of Waters." Here the young peo­ ple, dressed in their best "bib and tuck­ et-," dance, shout, make love and gener­ ally enjoy life, and at the same time they are helping a neighbor get ready for the realties of living by faring ap­ ples for the apple butter which formed, then, as now, one of the staples, of? life. Mr. Joseph Brooks, who made the won­ derful production of "Ben/Hur," is the director and producer of "Home Folks," a fuct which alone makes for the whole someness and the gre itness of the new melodrama's presentation. Mr. Dazey, who is an Illinois man, writes in the new play pf the people whom he knows and loves, and his characterization is said to be splendid. Mr. Dazey is the author of "In Old Kentucky" and "The Suburban A Chicago Alderuiaii Owes Hla Klection to Chamberlain's Cough Keniedy. "I can heartily and conscientiously recommend Chamberlain's Cough Reme­ dy for affections of the throat and lungs. " says Hon. John Shenick, 220 So. Peoria St., Chicago. "Two years ago during a politicol campaign, I caught cold after being overheated, which ir­ ritated my throat and I was finally compelled to stop, as I could not speak aloud. In my extremity a friend ad­ vised me to use Chain berlaid'e Cough Remedy. I took two doses that after­ noon and could not believe my senses when I fonnd the next morning the inflammation had largely subsided. I took several doses that day, kept right on talking through the Campaign, and I thank this medicine that I won my seat in the Qouncil." This remedy is for sale by all druggists. l»owle to Evacuate Zlon Glty, John Alexandar Dowie has left Zion City never to return. He will establish his headquarters in old Mexico, and there, surrounded by his chief advisers, will plan a general exodus of his follow­ ers from the United State. This report startled Zion City Monday. At every corner stood groups of followers of the "First Apostle" of the "Christian Cath­ olic Church" eagerly discussing the new move that their leader is about to make. It is not likely that Zion will be dismantled at once. The investment of capital there is too great, but it is prac­ tically settled that a large contingent will go south as soon as the site in Mex­ ico is definitely decided upon, and that all expansion at the Illinois plant will be stopped. Later on, when the indus­ tries at the new capital are in running order and the colony is on a firm basis, other drafts will be made from time to time until it will be possible for Dowie to withdraw entirely from the United States with a minimum financial loss. Rumors were current in the colony Monday that Dowie is himself not far f' om death, and that to prolong his life he will have to remain in the southland The reassuring statements of the dea­ cons did not allay the fears of the fol­ lowers of John Alexander, v< ho openly ( A pressed the fear t hat they had looked i ifir last upon their leader. There wan even speculation as to who will be his successor, and sentiment was divided between the son, Gladstone, and Oyer- seer Speicher. DEPARTMENT .

" Champion Liniment for Rhvumatf»m. Chas. Drake, a mail carrier at fir - pin.ville, Conn., says: "CliHmberlain's Pain Balm is the champion of. all lini- , inents. The past year 1 was troubled a j great deal with rheumatism in my ! shoulder. After trying several' cures the storekeeper here recommended this remedy and it completely cured me." There is no use of anyone suffering from that painful ailment when this liniment can be obtained for a small sum. One application gives prompt relief and its continued use for a-short time will produce a permanent cure. For sale by all druggists. Carp Catching. Wilmot Agitator: A company from Janesville has placed nets under the ice at different places in the river for the purpose of catching carp. The nets, which reach across the ri ver, are al­ lowed to remain in position a week or ten days between the times when they are taken up and examined. When they are .taken up a representative of the game warden is presentJto» ^ee that no unlawful fish are taken from the rive^;. The net is BO devised that the fish follow along trying to get past until they come to one end where there is a tra.p. that lets them into an enclosed portion from which they can not escape until the nets are taken up. Local fishermen claim thpt game fish caught in this trap and retained for any leugtb of time will kill themselves and that the nets will thus be their destruction. . Incredible Brutality.
