REMOVE OLD CAPITOL BUILDING
Replace 1t With Modern Office
Building, Is the Suggestion.

Building, Is the Suggestion.
st. Paul, March l6.-ln connection
with the request before the legisla-
tive finance committee concerning the
appropriation of $4,000 for the repair
of the old capitol, Senator J. NJ. Hack
ney of st. Paul has suggested that the
old capitol be removed and modern
office building be constructed on that
site or on ground near the capitol.
The old capitol has been condemned
for large gatherings, the number in
each room of the old structure being
carefully limited. The support of the
tower is not as strong as it should be
and extensive repairs would be needed
to place it in condition. 1t has been
estimated that the amount would be
$4,000
Senator Hackney suggests that the
old building be torn down rather than
spend such large amount of money
on it. To care for the offices sheltered
there, a modern office building near the
capitol can be built which will accom-
modate the offices which will overflow
from the capitol in few years.
The present site of the old capitol
could be sold for 100000 or more
which might be used to purchase more
land near the new capitol or to build
the office building. 1t is probable that
a proposal of this sort will be made
to the legislature in a week or so.

locked him up.
Warrant Gotten Out
Mr. Lobdell got out a warrant charg-
ing Boetsch with petit larceny, and
the man was arraigned before Judge
Comstock this forenoon and entered Il
plea of guilty. He was unable to eX.
plain how he happened To take the
ham, simply saying that he bought
some meat at the store and picked the
ham up as he went out. The court
sentenced him to pay fine of $40
and costs, or to go to Jail for twenty
days, and he paid the fine. As the
ham was valued at only a dollar, it
would have been much cheaper for the
man to have bought it.

Health and Beauty Hints
BY MRS. MAE MARTIN.

full quart of tonic. Take tablespoon
full before each meal and before retir-
ing. This tonic will restore lost appe-
tite, purify the blood, give you a
healthy body and put life and color
into your face. I find this tonic very
efficient in arousing the liver to normal
action, removing liver blotches, PIN
pies, and other skin eruptions
Mrs. E. J.: I receive a great many
letters just like yours from people who
are troubled with dandruff, itching
scalp and falling hair. 1t is certainly
not a pleasant thing to feel that you
are losing your once beautiful tresses.
1 invariably recommend the use of a
hair tonic made by dissolving an ounce
of quinzoin in half pint of alcohol and
then adding a half pint of cold water.
Try this tonic and it will stop all irri-
tation and your hair from coming out,
remove the dandruff and restore your
scalp to a healthy condition.
A. V. w: To make a greeseIess COM
plexion cream that will be entirely
beneficial and not encourage growth of
hair on the face, mix 1 ounce of almo-
zoin with half pint of cold water and
all 2 teaspoonfuls glycerine. Stir and
let stand for an hour or so. In all my
Experience 1 have never found any
thing to equal almozoin jelly as an
aid to beauty. It is excellent for chap
ped hands and face, massaging, remov-
ing freckles, tan, wrinkles, blackheads
and dirt from the pores of the skin. 1t
leaves the skin in excellent condition.
It is also the only really dependable
remedy l have ever found for making
smaller those large, unsightly pores
below the eyes, which are troublesome
to so many ladies. You can get almo-
zoin at any drug store.
r. o. X: A fat woman is certainly
deserving of pity, either in society or
business. She can't help but feel mis-
cradle and out of place The best rem
edy l know of to reduce your flesh I
without dieting is made by dissolving |
4 ounces of parnotis in a pint of hot I
water. Take a tablespoonful three |
times a day before meals. This prep |
aration is harmless. A friend Of mine |
who used it reduced her weight II /
pounds in two weeks.
Mrs. c. ": You can stop that terri |
bic itching from your eczema by using |
a lotion made by mixing 4 ounces of
luxor, tablespoonfuls of alcohol and
a half pint of water. Apply this three
or four times day and allow to dry. /
Repeat until skin is restored to a
healthy condition. This remedy is
splendid for salt rheum, rash and other
skin eruptions. 1 have seen this rem
edy tried numerous times with surpris-
nGly satisfactory results
