had the decorations in charge, and
when they were not making nosegays
they were chewing the rag about the
trouble and work, and wishing that
the bride had sense enough to get up
her own wedding. The ushers wore
claw-hammer coats, parted their hair
in the middle and stepped high when
they walked down the aisle. The
coats were borrowed and their white
gloves came from an undertaker's who
keeps them for funeral occasions.

The best toilet preparation in the
world is plain hot water. Here are
some of the uses to which it may be
put:
Drink bowl of it every night if you
want good digestion, good sleep and 3

you have cold, to your back when
you have backache or at the nape OF

Soak the feet in it when they are
tired.
Soak the hands in it before manicur.

A Woman.s Complexio n

It is rank foolishness to attempt
to remove sallowness or greasiness
of the skin by the use of cosmetics,
or local treatment, as advocated
by the beauty doctors" The only
safe and sure way that woman can
improve her complexion is by purify
ing and enriching the blood, which
can only be accomplished by keeping
the liver healthy and active. The
liver is the seatof disease and blood
pollution. Green's August Flower
acts directly on the liver, cleanses
and enriches the blosd, purihes the
complexion. It also cures consti-
patton, biliousness, nervousness, and
induces refreshing sleep. A single
bottle of August Flower has been
known to cure the most pronounced
and distressing case of dyspepsia
and digestion. New trial size bottle
Is cents; regular size Is cents. At

Discontinued

In a cordance with an order
issued by the president about a
month ago, the Ashland land
office has been abolished. The
order " ent into effect on the 3Ott
Of September, and the work Of
packing the records is now pro-
eeeding as rapidly as possible.
ALI the business will be trans
ferred to the land Office at Wau-
sau. The Eau Claire Office was
also abolished. Why this was
done is beyond the mind of man
TO comprehend. Three fourths
Of the government land is located
III the Ashland and Eau Claire
districts, and to remove the land
Offices from the districts in
which the vacant land is located
is a proceeding which strikes us
as being very peculiar to say the
least. All persons are compelled
