Special to Tlmes-Republican
Traer, Dec. AT conference held
between the superintendent Of the c.,
r. |. & p. Railway company and the
city officials Of Traer, it was settled
that the Rock Island street crossings
are to be, guarded by flagmen, here
after. There has been contention over
this matter for years. The railroad
cuts thru the heart Of the town, with
in half a block Of the business sec
ton. At least two street crossings are
Travelled extensively at all hours and
by large number Of school children,
who have to cross the tracks in order
to get to school. The railroad hereto
fore has paid little or no attention to
any speed limit, often running freight
trains thru the city at twenty miles or
more per hour. Complaints by var
ious citizens have been filed from time
to time, but no action was ever taken
by the company. Finally it was taken
up by the town and the city officials
gave the railroad to understand that
something would have to be done Eth
er moving gates or flagmen would
be suitable and the superintendent
agreed to place the latter at the two
principal crossings. Local employees
watched the crossings often, but could
not guard them for all trains. Two
flagmen will be employed, and will
guard the public from all trains thru
out the day, including Sunday.

From a Homemade Toni


Every woman desires beautiful hair
and good tonic is just as much a
necessary adjunct to the toilet as is
soap or tooth powder But good hair
tonics are expensive. Here is recipe
for home made preparation that will
give as good or better results than the
highest priced ready made tonics and
not cost half as much. Mix half pint
of alcohol with half a pint Of water;
add an ounce Of Beta-Quinol. Simply
shake we'll together and your tonic is
ready for use. If you prefer you can
use pint OF imported bay rum instead
of the alcohol and water. -Quinol
used daily will give vitality health
and attractiveness to the hair. Any
woman who appreciates the value of
luxuriant, soft and glossy hair can
not afford to be without this almost
magical quinine hair tonic. Any drug
gist will sell you the Beta-Quinol and
alcohol or bay rum.
