WORK OF BEAUTY DOCTOR
One Who Made a Good Complexion.
But It Did Not Prove
Lasting.

According to woman who has made
the rounds in search of youth and good
looks, there is as much disagreement
among beauty doctors as among doctors
of medicine. says the Philadelphia Rec
ord. What one will do to you and tell
you to do for yourself is exactly oppo-
site to the methods Of the next you
may go to. One specialist will, for In
stance, massage the face with a solu-
ton in which alcohol is the principal
Ingredient, end another will tell you
that that is all wrong, because such
treatment Is merely temporary slim
ulant to the skin and will leave Il
worse than it found it.
Il went to one man." says this ex-
perimenter, "who, talking as he
worked. found fault with all that 9TH
srs had done for me. AS he talked he
kept manipulating my faoe with vari-
GUS washes and ointments, and I did.
indeed, find, when I sat up and looked
In the glass, that I was younger and
fresher looking than any Of the others
had been able to make me. When got
home, however. and had a good, close
look discovered that I was simply
painted, nothing more nor less, and be-
Nuse the stuff had been 60 rubbed in

HOW TO RELIEVE HAY FEVER
Experiments in a Number Of Cases
That Have Had Encour-
aging Results.

A few years ago Prof. Dunbar, of Ham.
burg, found that by means of a solution
of salt it is possible to extract from the
pollen of varieties of grass held respon-
sible for the disease substance which,
through it's effects upon the mucous
membrane Of the nose or eye, has shown
itself to be the poison of hay fever.
What has heretofore been surmised
has now been demonstrated-that Pc
euliar predisposition is necessary to
contract the disease. Prof. Decker, OF
Erlangen, has made series of further
experiments and has published his con-
illusions in the Munich Medical Weekly
Journal. He first vaccinated hay fever
patients with the serum prepared by
Prof. Dunbar, and regretfully ascer.
tanned that the remedy did not always
produce the desired effect. He resorted
to another mode Of treatment, consist
ing of massage of the mucous MEM
brane Of the nose, which must first be
rendered insensible by cocaine. The
massage is made by means of a probe
covered with cotton, and is used once a
day, lasting only from two to three min
utes for each nostril; later one minute
longer.
The results so far observed in eight
cases have been very encouraging, and
the favorable effects have not only last
ed for one year, but have also been no
eiceable in the second year.

RATS SUMMER IN COUNTRY
The Rodents Seek Cool Air and Re
turn When Winter Comes
Again.

The fable of the country mouse and
TIE town mouse has foundation in
fact Mice occasionally migrate in
large numbers when food grows scarce,
and traverse considerable distances to
fresh houses. Farmers in a part Of
Perthshire, England, had a good rea.
son to become aware of this fact
when, a couple of years ago. vast
swarms of mice invaded their corn
fields at harvest time.
But the mouse only travels when it
has to. The rat, on the contrary.
seems to take yearly outing, in very
much the same fashion as human be-
ings do. Rats are the migratory
creatures of the world. Whole
troops Of rats leave the towns at the
end of summer and spend month or
two in the country, apparently in or
der to enjoy the change Of food which
the country affords at that time of the
year in the way of fresh fruit and
grain. Before the cold weather sets
in they are all back in their old quar-
tiers.
Reindeer migrate with the same
regularity as swallows. They move
south when the winter sets in, but -
soon as ever the snow begins to melt
they travel steadily north, sometimes
for as many as thousand miles.
To end holiday by deliberate sui.
eide is so strange phenomenon that
for long time naturalists looked up
On the stories of the migrations of the
Jennings as an improbable fiction.
Yet the facts are beyond dispute. At
irregular intervals these ratlike
creatures start out for their homes
In the Businesses of Northern Scandi-
navia in huge droves, numbering tens
of thousands. and travel steadily
southwark. Death pursues them in
hundred forms. Hawks and other
birds of prey hover above them.
Foxes, wolves and man decimate
them. Thousands are drowned In
rivers. Yet the rest struggle on until
they reach the sea. They do not stop.
They plunge in, swim out and strug'
gle on, until at last their strength
| fails and they drown. Not one ever
returns from this Journey OF death.

The Yellowstone Valley, near Bill
ings is just now coming into special
prominence on account Of it's different
irrigation canals. The Billings canal
east OF that town, waters an extremely
fertile district, in which alfalfa is a
very prolific crop. East of Huntley
on the Crow Indian reservation,
which will probably be opened ia
1905, various canals are planned by
the United States government, which
will water large tract of this very
fertile country. Plans are being

FIREMEN HAVE BANQUET

The east side fire company held the
first banquet of the winter at the hose
house in the city hall Monday evening.
Nearly thirty members were present,
including honorary members, and a
social coed time resulted from the
same. These banQuetS, given the
members of the fire company, have
been a feature OF the old Grand
Rapids fire department. for nearly
twenty years. Almost ever since the
company was organized in good shape,
these dinners to the men have been
given every winter. At the last meet
ing of the fire company of the east
side, Hon. Charles NJ. Webb was
elected honorary member of the COM
pany, that he could come in and pass
away the time with his old friends at
their meetings. He was the guest of
honor Monday evening, it being the
first banquet of the fremen he had at
tended since his being made member
of that organization.
A long table was spread the length
of the engine room, and the feast took
the form of an oyster supper. Dave
Kamneron was chief cook, and with
the able assistance of E. Z. BOdette
and Frank Wagner, prepared a sup
per that could not be excelled. Good
old fashioned coffee, oysters cooked
just right, and all that properly goes
with an oyster supper were prepared
and appreciated by the tiremen.
After supper couple hours were
spent in playing cards, smoking, and
ia telling stories of the olden days,
both fire experiences and other events
called to mind for the first time in
many years. Some of the fires to
which this company have been called
out were discussed, and many laugh
able experiences were disclosed. The
fire company plan on having these
pleasant banquets to their members
every month this winter.

WIN AT FOOT BALL

The Grand Rapids High school
football team won its first game this
season at Merrill from the High
school team there. The two teams
were so evenly matched that a O to
score was predicted until the middle
of the second half when Merrill ap-
peared to be walking down the field for
touch down. There were only six
yards more between them and the
coveted goal and one yard toward the
next first down when the Rapids
braced. On their last trial for first
down Merrill fumbled. Corcoran of
Grand Rapids then saw his opportun-
ity, scooped up the bounding ball. and
made sprint of 104 yards for the
only touch down of the game. Nash
kicked goal.
Possibly the playing was slightly in
favor of the Merrill team during the
first half, but after the touch down
their fumbling and errors were even
more evident than those Of the Rapids
during the first half. Time was
called with the ball on Merrill'S 40
yard line in possession of Grand
Rapids, 6; Merrill O.
The success of the game was due
mostly to the officials, Schofield and
Bellows of Wausau, who know the
game and enforced their decisions.
The treatment accorded the Grand
Rapids team could not be excelled and
Grand Rapids desires to return the
compliment il suitable date for a
return game can be arranged.

HATTEN OR STOUT GOOD
MEN FOR GOVERNOR

The Appleton Post, in recent
issue, had the following to say of our
neighbor and friend, w. 81. Hatten, Of
New London, and James 81.
Stout, of Menomonie, Wisconsin.
The Republican party of this
state could go long way and not find
any better timber than the above
mentioned men. We append here
with the article from the Post:
In our opinion. there are two
Republicans in Wisconsin, only two,
the candidacy of either of whom for
the vernorship would serve a
"cOnsummation devoutly to be
wished, the end OF factionaliSm
among Wisconsin Republicans. One
of these Is James II. Stout, the other
w. H. Hatton. Both are high class
and first class men, whose public and
private lives are without stain and
above reproach. Both have been
staunch adherents of the state adj
ministration in most things, albeit in
ways, natural to them and hence
undersigned, that have retained for
them the respect, confidence and
esteem Of their Republican oppon.
enJs. Neither, however. would be
likely to circulate petition or cause
one to be circulated for signatures in
his behalf as a candidate for governor
or any other office. What has come
to either of them in the way OF
political hOnOrs has been unsolicited
as what comes hereafter will be un-
sought. But where so much is at
stake-the good of the state, the
efficiency of it's public service, the
future welfare of the party and the
establishment of friendly relations
between it's members and elements
it would seem that a spontaneous
movement ought to be started that
would certainly make for these ends
in the candidacy for the governorshil
of one or the other OF the aforesaid
gentlemen. Once started, we believe
such movement would prove irresis.
tible and cause all Self-made candi.
dacies to shrink into practical
nothingness. What says the Free
Press to the proposition to start the
ball a-rolling for, say, Senator Hatton!
If it's answer be yea-and how can it
be otherwise since it has declared
that he is "a man to tie to?"--the
Post hereby agrees to do it's level best
if little all, to keep it spinning
His candidacy certainly ought to com
mand generous and enthusiastic
following in the element of the party
with which he has been allied. That
it would receive surprisingly large
endorsement from t'other element we
fully believe. That the senator
would make an admirable governor
under any circumstances cannot be
doubted, That he is man answering
TO the requirements of the present
situation is equally certain. Under
his administration there would be nc
more Of factionalism in the Republi
can party, Of which there has already
been bellyfull.
