The contest over in the First dis
trict has no dull moments, Judge
Powers IN his speech at Bristol
brought up again the matter ct miles

Washington, and, turning from the
accusation that he had oyerdrawn
from the government IN settling his
expense account, he charged en-
Governor Page with receiving 10
miles when he was in the state sen
ate, while the Judge, u member OF
the house, got only thirty miles
This is important II true, but the
official records read otherwise, show
ing that the ex-governor drew only
81 miles. As to Judge Powers

the figures are quite AS interesting

cned out satisfactorily it may count

Ingredients of Toilet Soap.

The basis of the better qualities OF
toilet soap is generally curd or yellow
soap, in the making of which special
precautions are taken to insure abb
sence of free .alkali This is most i'm
portant, as otherwise the soap would
be altogether unsuitable for toilet pur-
poses,r the free alllali being injurious
to the skin. This is the reason why so
many of the cheaper laundry soaps
produce chapped hands and similar
results when used for toilet purposes.
If. on the other hand, there is an ex
cess of fat, the soap is greasy and does
not possess the cleansing properties a
good soap should. "A laundry soap may
be made without much difficulty by
an amateur. but it is better to buy
whatever toilet soap is required, for
the reasons stated, and also because
special apparatus is required to make
soap of first class quality.
The Leon reporter. (Leon, Iowa) 1887-1930, 1900-10-11

she is dead, poor soul!" said Alan.

tour years ago; and I'm to be married
again. l wish you would let me help

An evil sheer crossed Hutchinson's
face. Married again, are you? Soon?
Well, will wish you Joy, you, and
your bride. You may have an unex-
pected guest at your wedding, al
though am not quite sure. We will
see what way things will go. Good

that something untoward had hap
pened, although the young man could
not say what it had been.
