Knitted socks are most commonly

Getting Rid of Frown

Women who frown are apt to have
the vertical lines between the eye
brows. Sometimes this is caused by
earnest thinking as well as weak eyes.
A pinching process is best to eradicate
this line using the thumb and index
finger to pinch up the line vertically.
Use a graduating rolling pinch, les
sening the pressure as the thumb APP
proaches the finger.
Transverse lines across the forehead
come from tricks of facial expression,
particularly that of elevating eyebrows.
SO that the woman who essays to fol-
low the elevated eyebrow fad, now
popular will not have long to wait be-
fore she finds a nice crop of wrinkles
scanning her forehead. To smooth
them away place the two first fingers
of the left hand on each side of the
transverse line. Now push up with
considerable force, then release. Re
peat this process first with right and
then with left several times, making
numerous starts and stops. Iron out
the wrinkles much as you would the
seam of a gown.
Standing, tight or III fitting collars
are responsible for the appearance of
tram -erse lines under the chin. I'm
evenness in the poise of the head is
also occasionally rsponsible, but the
result in any case is an unsightly neck,
showing loose, sagging muscle.

TO Remove Cheek Lines

A line most often seen is one which
extends from the nostri to the corner
of the mouth. Often this is deeply m
dented and difficult to eradicate. 1t is
caused by the activity of the mus
cles and tissues about the mouth. But
with persevering effort it can be ironed
out, leaving not seam or scar to mark
its presence.
Place the open hand vertically
against the cheek, giving an upward
pressure as the hand turns slowly
around on the cheek. The fingers will
rest under the ear in the last position.
Another benefit derived from this eX-
ercise beside smoothing out the line
at the mouth is to lift the sagging mus
,c,es.0f the cheeks and it will also draw
back the crows feet about the eyes.
One of the first lines to betoken ad-
Nancing age is that which comes just
an front of the ears. Waste of tissue
,is partly responsible for this as well as
Abe contraction of the jaw from lack
OF teeth Pinch this line horizontally,
taking up the flesh within the thumb
and first finger, letting the thumb slide
upward while the forehnger stands
guard.
Crows feet are the most dreaded OF
all marks by some women. Usually
Women who are afflicted with them
early in life are those of bright sunny
dispositions and constant laughing
leaves its trace at last. Very delicately
must this exercise be done, so as moi
to make a bad matter worse. Place
The first two fingers of the right hand
on the left cheek just under the eye
TO hold the flesh firm while with the
first two fingers of the left hand rut
away from the nose with a firm pres
sure Be very careful not to press
on the ball of the eye.

EarIy Winter Fashions

This season many new notes have been
introduced in coats and wraps. The latest
arrival is the close-htting, long-sldrted
or basqued affair the vertable tailored
coat Of old. The most noticeable of new
coats is that reaching quite TO the knee.
or even below. and showing a waist-coat.
More generally becoming than the long
skirted coat is the short, jaunty affair
fashioned after theSL and Directoire
types. Most picturesque are the separate
coats intended to be worn upon ceremo-
nious or dressy occasions and so ex-
tremely loose that they might be called
cape coats.
The newest foreign skirt model is Of
circular shaping with folds at the belt or
stitched in tucks to yoke outline. and
falls in graceful lines TO the bottom.
where it is either stitched or decorated
with alternate entre-deux and plain bands,
tucks or folds to relieve its severity.

ARBITRATION TREATY IS
DISCUSSED BY A BRITON
Sir Thomas Barclay Is Sure the Senate
Will Not Reject This One.

LONDON, Dec. 6.-In discussing the
prospects of the Anglo American arbi-
tration treaty Sir Thomas Barclay, who
has been prominently identified with
the work of promoting amity between
nations, said today:
1t Is quite possible the treaty will be
more far reaching than the Anglo French
treaty. The treaty of 1897 provided for
the settlement of all difficulties between
Great Britain and United States without
exception by arbitration. 1t need hardly
be expected that the new treaty Will be
in exactly in the same terms as that sign
ed by the late Lord Pauncefote and Sec
rotary Olney. but it is most desirable that
q treaty between peoples speaking the
same language and having practically the
same form of procedure should go a step
further than the Anglo French treaty.
The treaty Of 1897 was defeated by
twenty senators, many of whom were
influenced by Michael Davitt to believe
that such a treaty would delay the solu

home rule with the question of devising
peaceful buSineSSlike methods OF dealing

the war in the far East, and when all
realize how indispensable it is to promote

ARGUES FOR WILL
Attorney Kellogg Appears TO
Executors ofMrs. AppIeby

The jurisdiction of the Ramsey coun-
ty district court in the Appleby will
case, was brought to the attention of
Judge Bum yesterday forenoon by At
torney Frank B. Kellogg, who is rep
resenting the executors Of the estate
in the case brought by DR.. Appleby.
Attorney Kellogg argued that the pro-
bate court had exclusive Jurisdiction
in the matter of the will, but later
added that this was rather in the
nature of a suggestion than question,
and continued his argument to offset
the case as presented in DR.. Appleby's
behalf by Attorney Gregory, of Chi
cage.
Mr.. Gregory dwelt at considerable
length on the proposition that Mrs.
Appleby did not attempt to dispose
OF 1.-The residence on Summit avenue
to her husband, but that she provided,
in the event of the property passing
to her, that it should upon her death
become the property of her husband.
He contended that Mrs. Appleby never
owned the property, and cited authori-
ties to- show the correctness of his
argument.
There was no provision in her will,
said Mr.. Kellogg, for the disposal of
the property in any event except after
it had actually passed into her pos
session, therefore DR.. Appleby was liv-
ing in the house and enjoying it's
comforts in direct violation of law,
and not within the meaning of the
will. Decisions from the supreme courts
Of Minnesota and New York were cited
in support Of this contention.
The hearing was adjourned at noon,
owing to, the memorial exercises in
memory Of the late Judge Nelson 1t
will be resumed before Judge Bum this
morning.

DISCOVERS LOTS
OF TIN IN ALASKA
H. J. Dieter, After Ten Years
of Struggling, at Last
Strikes 1t Rich

Ten years OF the life of man is a
long time to give for a fortune, but that
is what Henry ]. Dieter, of ST. Paul, gave
for his, which he found in the icy noun
tains of northern Alaska, In addition to
who was Miss Blanch Krause Seepluch,
daughter of prominent Milwaukeean and
social favorite in her home city.
Mr.. Dieter. has the 'tin' both in the
figurative and the actual senses. He
brought back thirteen tons of very rich
ore with him when he came down from
Cape Prince of Wales a few days ago.
He says that the tin industry of the world
will be revolutionized when the product
of the Alaskan properties comes to mar
ket in quantities. He declares that the
Welsh tin mines, which for hundreds of
years have supplied the markets of the
world, will have to go out of business
when Alaska gets to shipping and smelt-
ing the ore from the icy hills where his
claims are located. In telling of his -ex-
periences in Alaska Mr.. Dieter said:
Discovers Tin While Placer Mining.
"In 1899 / was placer mining near Cape
Nome and, in common with many other
miners, discovered from assay tests from
the sluice boxes that there was a great
quantity of tin mixed up with the matter
recovered in the sluices. Partly from GU
riosity. 1 had several assays made of the
ordinary country rock of the locality, and
found that the returns showed one-half
per cent of pure tin generally distributed
in the granite.
'"The hills where the lead is situated
are only trif1e over thirty seven miles
from Russian territory and are only sepa-
rated from. it by the narrowest part of
the Bering sea. Before returning this fall,
my wife was rendered two very enthusias
tic receptions by the residents of the
camps and villages"
Ten years ago Mr.. Dieter went into the
Alaskan country and for six summers and
winters he fought it out with the ele
rnents and hard luck He always was
able to make some money, but never
struck it rich as his neighbors did. Then
he happened on the tin properties. Since
that time he has been spending his win
ters in the United States. Last spring,
before going TO the far north, he married
Miss Seepluch and took her with him.
Alaska the Coming Country.
Aside from the well known gold mines,
he says that Alaska is the coming coun-
try for tin, copper. oil-which, he says, are
being successfully prospected in the
Cooks inlet region-and, as paradise
for the hunter. he declares it is step
nearer heaven than Minnesota.
Mr.. Dieter says that thousand ton
smelter will probably be erected in Seattle
by next spring. He points out that there
is no institution of the kind in the coun-
try that is available for tin smelling. He
expects to go back in the spring and
may remain under the Arctic circle all
next winter Mr. and Mrs. Dieter are
staying at 1000 Lincoln avenue.

ROHLAND HAS PLAN
Would Enlarge Armory If City
May Control
lTausr n.:; M

Z Aid. Rohland. of the Fifth ward, was
the one member of the board of alder
men who last evening cared to discuss
at length the proposition of Aid. Lynch
to make the armory drill hall an audi
torium
att does not seem to me that Mr..
Lynch's proposition entirely covers the
situation" said Mr.. Rohland. There
is but one way in which to make the
armory a real auditorium. 1t will be
necessary to. purchase the lot just at
the rear of the present hall, tear out
the wall between the hall and the new
purchase and build the stage for the
new auditorium on the lot purchased. :
'If this is done an auditorium will be
created that will accommodate practi-
cally all conventions and other large
bodies that desire to meet inst. Paul.
But do not believe that the city. after
having erected the armory, should go
to this or any other expense unless it
has voice in the management of the
property. At present the city has no
control over the building, and I be-
lieve this has resulted In the action of
the conference committee refusing a
further appropriation for the compile
ton of the structure"
aid. Rohland is correct in saying
that the city should have more con-
troll over the building" said Aid
Lynch "At present the only city Off
eial having a voice in the management
of the armory is the mayor, as op-
posed to number of military officials.
The city council should have a COM
mittee equal in numbers to that of the
militia and the mayor should hold the
controlling vote. I believe that we
should go before the legislature during
the coming winter and secure an
amendment of the law that would give
the city proper voice in the control
of the building. There is but one OBJ
lection to the suggestion of Aid. Roh-

not owned by the city. The cost would
be, should estimate, in the neighbor-
hood of $4,000, and the budget is now

.F|REMEN RESCUE
SLEEPING GUESTS
Garry Unconscious Men and a
Woman From windows of
Burning Structure

One woman was rescued from the
third story and four men were carried
from the windows Of the second floor
of the lodging house conducted by Ed
ward Granna, 525 Jackson street, about
5 o'clock yesterday morning. A fire
broke out in the basement and heavy
smoke filed the house before the lodg-
ers were aroused.
The escape of those on the upper
floors was then cut off by a blaze on
the front stairs, the fire having burned
up through the floor from the base
ment. All those on the first floor es-
capped through the doors; most Of the
guests on the second floor succeeded in
getting down the back stairs, while
some climbed out of the windows to
the roof Of a one-story addition to the
building.
The fremen assisted those on the
roof to the ground and carried four
men from their rooms. All on the third
floor made their escape except Mrs.
Della Carter, who was saved by Capt.
James Ferguson and Truckman Pat
rick Murray.
Guest Discovers Fire
Mr. Granna was awakened by one Of
his guests who came into the house
shortly before o'clock and noticed
smoke. The landlord then rushed to
the basement, where he saw the fire
b1Rzing. He then ran about the house
alarming the dodgers, all of whom were
asleep.
Not stopping to take clothing, men
and women fastened to get out Of the
house, and when the firemen arrived
they found the house surrounded by
white clothed, sllivering figures. A
group was seen on the rear one-story
wing, and Chief Jackson ordered his
men to place ladders there. The fire.

from different windows. Chief jack
son was then informed that a woman
was still on the third floor.
Woman Nearly Dead
A ladder was Immediately run up to
her window and Capt. Ferguson, with
Truckman Murray, went up. Capt.
Ferguson went into the room and was
nearly overcome before he found Mrs.
Carter. She was handed to Truckman
Murray who carried her to the ground.
Mr. Granna then recollected that
Martin Costello, on the second floor,
had not been warned and ladder was
put up to his window. He was found
unconscious and was carried to the
ground. He was soon revived. The
women were given shelter in a neigh
boring house.
Chief Jackson made an investigation
of the basement and found that the fire
had spread from the furnace to a pile
of refuse and wood, which created the
dense smoke that filed the house. The
smoke was so heavy that several of the
firemen were nearly prostrated while
searching the second-story rooms.
The fire burned up through the front
stairs and through the floors of two
rooms. The loss to the building and
contents from fire, smoke and water
is estimated at $500. Mr.. Granna had
no insurance on his furniture.

COUNTY BOARD CAN
FILL A VACANCY
Attorney General Holds It May
Name Successor to County
-s OffIcial-elect,W Dies

Attorney General w. J. Donahower
has given an opinion that where
county official elect dies before ac-
cepting the Office to which he was
elected q vacancy has occurred and is
to be filled by the county commission
ers. Should the commissioners not
act, the attorney general rules, the
present incumbent viii continue to act
on the theory that his successor has
not been elected and qualified.
The, interesting point was raised by
an inquiry from r. P. Glover, county
auditor of Wiikin county. There D.
D. Waite, elected county treasurer,
has died since his election, Nov. s.
The county auditor wrote to ask
whether Peter Hanson, the present
treasurer, would continue to hold the
Office on the theory that his successor
had failed to qualify, or whether the
county commissioners were empowered
to elect his successor.
Under the laws of 1894 an office be-
comes vacant, the attorney general
rules, by the death of the person
elected or appointed to fill vacancy
or for a full term, before he qualities,
or by death before the time when by
the Office to which he has been elected
or appointed. In the latter case the
vacancy shall be deemed to take place
at the time when the term of Office OF
the predecessor of such deceased per-
son would have expired if such death
had not happened. And while the law
provides that a person elected to fill
an Office shall hold office until his sue
cessor is elected and qualified, the
section Of the law defining when the
Office shall become vacant operates to
close the term of the incumbent when
the county commissioners appoint his
successor. The attorney general holds.
however, that the present incumbent
would hold Office until the county COM
missioners select his successor to fill
the vacancy.
1t is a new question in this state.
Copies of the attorney generals opin-
ion have been sent to the offices Of
the state auditor and public exam
liner.

The only way to mend 1t is to take

This has been practically and scientif-

These methods are all unscientifc-
therefore false.

Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are a posi-
tive cure for just this one disease.
They are a scientific combination of in
gradients which search out the weak
spots in all the digestive organs and make
them strong and well.
They have an immediate digestive ac-
tion on undigested food, and thus, while
curing weak organs, they at the same
time help them to do their work
s They thus stand for all that it good in
the medical treatment of Dyspepsia, and
for nothing that is bad.
They are not fad but a fact
They are safe, pleasant. certain and
permanent, and can be taken by the most
delicate invalids without fear of harmful
results.
