That the Boers Don't Use It Doesn't
 Prove They're Dirty.
 Surely too much importance is at- tached to the scarcity Of soap in the Boers' farm houses, says the Lc don Truth. People may be very clean and nse very little soap. The Russians and Japanese cleanse themselves with va- DOT baths, rarely using soap when they uo so. really healthy skin eleensas itssH. Rough inside clothing, which. presume, the Boers wear, is a great 1K1n cleanser. have known of doctors curing skin diseases by insisting on lingerie de luxe being east aside and coarse undergarments worn instead. The late emperor of the French hard " ever saaped his hands until he went 70 England. I have come across a pa- per found in his desk at the Tuileries, 1t contained the instructions of the King of Holland to the governor of his two elder sons. Among the things for oldden was for the young princes hands to be washed with soap. They were to use bran and a slice of lemon. The lemon was to remove ink stains. and In summer to keep off gnats and mosquitoes. Napoleon, whose hands were good to model and beautifully white, also 3sed bran and no soap, unless to shave. never use soap of any kind without sense of skin dis comfort which not even a deiuge Of quite pure water will wholly remove. In England, on account Of coal smoke, soap is more needed than in countries with clear air. The Boers enjoy, per- haps, the purest atmosphere in the world, except when there are dust storms. I know French ladies who have discarded soap for vaseline. They smear themselves. with the latter and then rub 1t off well with a soft cotton towel. X doctor tells me that nothing is more cleansing, but that he prefors, as more tonic, plain cold water, fol- lowed by the same sort of rubbing. pr.

Two Reasons my Ioopho o
 to Service.
 The pulpit used to be the ehieI means of instruction and of intellectual and moral S mutation for the people The pulpit orator was the peoples or ator. The pulpit has in great measure lost it's attractive power in this re- gard, says Popular Science. The daliy and weekly press have greater lnnu- ence in public instruction. The multi plication of cheap books also taxes from the pulpit large share or US ln- duenee in this regard. Oratory ln legls- lative bodies has to q grest extent lost it's influence. It's place has been taken by simple, compact, time-saving state ments, often printed but not delivered. Committees do the work which used to be done after discussion before the public. So the people will not listen now to the pulpit orator of former gen. erations. They demand short, crisp ser mons that bristle with points and are practical and helpful. In other Words. the oratorical and highly intellectual character of the pulpit, which used eo attract worshipers, no longer attracts them. They feel that they can get more benefit in this regard by reading in the comfort of the home. Multl- tudes of people can nc longer De ln' duced to attend church to be instructed by the minister or to get his Judgment on topics of the time. or to be stirred by his eloquence; they can get all these things cheaper and easier by reading at home. When, now, this IS ve-enforced by the fact that multitudes dislike the doctrines of the church and resent them when they are preached, we can easily understand that cnurch attendance should decline very greatly from this reason.

Wednesday afternoon from Belle

refused TO go. however. when it was
learned that they We're to be taken out

The building Of the double track thru

OF which are employed immediately east

The ELECTRIC ADDITION.
Prominent Citi zen. say Il 10 the De
sirable Residence District.

Now that 1t is an assured fact that
the fremont is to open soon, interest in
the electric addition as residence site
is naturally on the increase. Below are
given the views of prominent citizens
who are in position to know whereof
they speak:
F. r. Benedict talked OF the Electric
addition and the west end in general.
II like the Electric addition as we'll as
any part OF the west end, said he.
The west end Is the only place where
We can build any fine residences from
this time on. Every one who wants to
build nice home will go there. all
ways thought it the best part Of town.
No other part Of the city equals it for
a home. There is also money in those.
lots. They will double in value and
aside from the desirable location for a
home the investor will gain rapidly in
the transaction. It seems to me that
the street car company would consult
their interests by a loop from the ter
minus on Jerome street to the Third
street line"
Charles Gustafson who was in the
group. said: In two years my lot on
State street has gained 5000 in value
can sell today for an advance of 5000
over the price paid two years ago.
NJ. F. Andrews. the we'll known dry
goods dealer, in conversation this
morning, was overheard to say: Il
have my eye on lot on West Main
that I'm going to buy and then I'm go
ing to build and make my home. for /
think West Main street far the best
residence portion of the city. ! think
the Electric addition is going to be a
good thing for the investor. for lots
Will double in value within a few
years there
Said the gentleman with whom he
was holding the conversations: 1T
seems to me that the future growth OF
the city must be westward.
BE west. Of course" returned Mr..
Andrews. 1t cant be any other direc-
lztion. All those lots west and adjacent
to Main street and the car line are very
desira BILE, and think the company
will soon make a loop thru Jerome
street and possibly one south. The
man who buys in the Electric addition
will make no mistake. He will double
his money in a very short time. -
j. NJ. Holt, attorney, thought the
whole northwestern part of the city the
only opportunity left for fine resi-
dences. He said it was growing fast
and rapidly developing. One Of the
I.excellent features of that part of town
| is. in Mr.. Hollis opinion. the fact that
the population is not floating, nearly
every one owning his own home there.
He thought the Electric addition most

The officials OF the company say that
more money Is being spent on the line In
this state for Improvement than in any
other state that the line enters. Among
the other improvements that the CONF
pany ID making is new passenger de-.
pot at Ames and another at Webster
iCty.
The one spot dreaded by the train
men more than any other along the
whole line is what Is known as the
Moningona hill, and 1t was here that
the terrible wreck occurred last fall,
which cost the company vast amount
OF money. The hill is now cut down
until it is no longer dangerous place
and the sharp curve has been heightened.
till there is now no danger of serious
wrecks.
