I CIRCUS DAY I IN DECATUR Yesterday afternoon was “circus day" to the members of the Research Club, when they met with Mrs. Dan Sprang at her home on West Madison street, and listened to a most enter' gaining and instructive paper on “The Circus". Mrs. Sprang treated her subject beginning with the first circus ever shown in the United States and showing the gradual development through the years up tfhtil the present time. As an example of the modern cirucs, Mrs. Sprang used the Hegenbeck. Wallace Circus which winters at Peru. Indiana. She told of the animals in the menagerie, the acrobats, how the expenses of producing a circus in the < Iden times compared with the present daj[ overhead expense. Another interesflng feature of the paper related the manner in which the wild animals were collected and trained. The following sub-topics were given: | ‘“Origin of the Pink Lemonade”, Mrs. ; C D. Lewton; “Americanizing tile Elephant". Mrs. J. F. Fruclite; "A True stciy of the Escape of a lion in a Circus Parade", Mis. C. E. Bell; “What Becomes of the Big Tent”, Mrs. Henry Heller; and a book review of "Liti tie Texas” by Dixie Wilson, given by Mis. R. D. Myers. This review proved most interesting and was the story of the circus life of “Little Texas", a bare-back rider, and funny “Jim Teck" the clown, and Mrs. Charity Hooper,” fitting close to the entire program, Mrs. J. T. Merryman as “Jim Teck” the clown, and Mrs. Charity Tooper, at "Little Texas” the bare-back rider impelsonated the two leading character s of the book. Refreshments served by Mrs. Sprang at the close of tile meeting, tended to further the “circus spirit” of the day for they consisted of a sack of peanuts, a sack of popcorn, animal crackers and pink lemonade. The next meeting will be held with Mrs. A. R. Fledderpohann, who will have a paper on “Emerson and His Times".

I HEDDA HOYT TELLS ....about.. ' FASHIONS for WOMEN II , Paris (United Press) One can't come to Paris without purchasing some ot the latest Fashion fetishes which are brought out to amuse the feminine world from season to season. Right now, the penguin, that queer looking Arctic bird which seems to be wearing ti man's dress-suit, holds the center of the stage. Made of black velvet and turned into pocketbooks, they are carried by many fashionables. Almost everyone purchases a Penguin fetish since it is the latest good luck token in Paris. Quite as amusing as the Penguin, is tho monkey shaped vanity case. Tiny monkeys of furry material in the gayest of colors are made so that the displaying fA heads can be- taken off. The body opens displaying tiny pads of rouge, powder and a tiny lipstick. When the vanity is closed, one has a little monkey on a ribbon cord. The puppy handbags made of fur like material which have been popular with youngsters in America are so lealistic in Paris as to be almost alive. Here they aie made of real fur and one cant' tell Whether women are carrying real dogs or dog purses in many cases. In fact, many Parisians walk about the smart shopping districts with tiny breeds of French and Belgium dogs in their arms. Another proof of the Parsian's perference for imitation dogs over other fetishes, is the wearing of tiny chenille dogs upon their sports hats, Tiny airdales and wire-haired terriors of sheniile with pin backings are quite the thing in millinery accessories. o Mr. and Mrs. A. A. Kist and the ( former’s mother, Mrs. Johnson, of Portland, visited Sunday with Mr. and Mrs. Al Burdg, of Mercer avenue. HARD ARTERIES Hardening arteries indicate high blood pressure, which means that the blood in the heart and blood vessels is under too great a tension —a condition which may end life suddenly. High blood pressure, indicated by hard arteries, heart palpitation, dizziness and difficulty in breathing, is the penalty of our abnormal habits of living. We place too great a strain on the vital organs, especially tbe liver. The liver becoming “limp” or sluggish, fails to cleanse the blood of tlie toxic poisons formed in food waste. The whole system then becomes toxic, with stomach, kidneys, heart and blood vessels affected. It is generally recognized that the liver occasionally needs a little help. There is nothing better for this, as medical men know, than a little ox gall. Ox gall has been sot nd to be a great stimulant for the liver. The genuine, pure ox gall is to be had, dainty and tasteless, in the form of Dioxol tablets. Each tablet represents 10 drops of pure ox gall and costs less than 2c at good druggists. To be sure of getting the genuine, look for the name Dioxol and picture of ox’s head on the package.

Pimples, Boils, Skin Eruptions

Skilled physicians recognize the appearance of pimples, foils and other skin eruptions as being an indication of an abnormal condition of the system. This is why so many thousands have been enabled to free themselves of these unsightly blemishes and painful annoyances by taking a course of S.S3S. “I suffered from impure blood—■ was weak, and I had lost so much weight, 1 didn’t look natural. 1 had pimples and was also bothered with a breaking-out that itched terribly.
