COMMITTEES REPORT

Chamber of Commerce Members Hold Interesting Meeting In Opening Winter's Activities.

The first membership meeting of the winter season was held Tuesday evening by the Chamber of Commerce, at the rooms in the Tribune building.1 The work accomplished by the organization during the summer was shown by the reports of the chairman of the virions committees and it wais agreed that all of them made an excellent showing.

The steps taken to do away with the street blockades by the railroads and to relieve traffic congestion were explained by George Nattkemper. The need of this was shown when the committee secured evidence that at one time the Poplar street crossing was held for one hour and thirty minutes and that in numerous instances crossings were held from thirty minutes to one hour. Mr. Nattkemper explained how the Chamber of Commerce had sold 73 acres, northeast of the city, to the Chicago and Eastern Illinois, for yards and that this road had agreed to run their through freight trains around the city. This, he said, will greatly relieve the crossing blockades and will also do away\with the Locust and Poplar street yards. He said that the Big Four was considering building a "cut off" from Dewey to St. Marys arjfl that the Vandalia could also use Ujjs' line for its through freight train*. He also hopes to be able to effect plans for the interchange of freight between the different roads, on the belt line. Mr. Na.ttkemper said that his committee had met with the engineers of the different roads and decided how the crossings were to be planked and that 90 percent of this. .. work had been done. I

The report of the educational com- °f

mittee was given by Prof. T. W. Rec

to be held at that time.

Severe

Troubles Vanish

With Magic Effect, Great Remedy Makes Disease Disappear.

At almost any drag store you may obtain S. S. S., the famous blood purifier, and you then have the veritable wizard that makes all blood troubles vanish. Tour stomach takes kindly to S. S. S., it rushes Into your blood, is a purifying wave, makes the liver, kidneys, bladder and skin work In harmony stops accumulations that have caused rheumatism, catarrh, swollen glands, sore throat and skin eruptions.

Just as food makes blood, so does S. S. S. follow the process of digestion tc stimulate natural secretions to protect us against the ravages of disease germs. We are well aware of the fact that these germs are apt to be latent within us to break forth in violent eruptions of the skin whenever the system is ln a low state of resistance. And is to both prevent these eruptions or to get rid of them that Nature gave us such an ally as S. S. S. It is purely vegetable, contains no mercury, and yet it overcomes those serious troubles for which mercury has been employed for ages. In every community are people who know this to be true. They owe to S. 8. 8. their recovery. Get a bottle today. Refuse al! substitutes. Read the folder around the bottle that tells of the wonderful work being done by the medical department in assisting users of S. S. S.

LESSONS OF THE TIME.

Evangelist Serns Speaks on Great Crises in the World. "The Ark in the Coming Storm." This was the subject of Evangelist Serns' sermon at the "Washington Avenue Chautauqua last evening. Some of tue points made by Mr. Serns were: "As the days of Noah were so i!so shall the coming of the b'on of Mar. He.' We are to study the events thu.r clustered about the Hood, and from them to gain precious lessons for this time. "In' every age, in every crimes, Goii provides a way of deliverance for His people. At the Hood, the ark from Sodom and Gomorrah, angels led the righteous at the Red sea, the waves parted in the fiery furnace, and the lion's den, Daniel and his fellows found deliverance the. hour of man's extremity is the hour of God's opportunity.

Developments

—As the season advances the style situation is becoming more and more settled. There will be no such thing as "THE" style, but many different ones to suit all tastes, figures and complexions.

SUITS will show many very long coats and waists. Some have lengthwise plaits. Many have deep yokes. Others haive bayadere tucks. There are numerous flounce effects, and some will have an actual crino-line-like spread at the feet. As to colors, the tendency is toward dark shades. Navy blue and brown being particularly desirable. There has also been more interest shown in black than for a number of yfars. Then there are dark shades of green and when light shades are employed, sand and putty colors are being taken.

GOWNS somewhat recall the dress of crusaders. Some of these garments fall loose, touching the figure only at the hip line. Other garments are fitted in moderately at the waistline.

FOOTWEAR. A late wrinkle in footwear for forenoon suits is to wear black shoes with silver buckles and stockings of silk that exactly match the silver of the buckles.

You will find the store very interesting with its array of such new fashions as these. Come in and look around. (To be continued.)
