Special to Times Republican.
Grundy Center, March 1.-Schoo
election brought out the largest vote
ever polled in our town at such an

lows:
G. s. Swartz, 1906; II. NJ. Finlayson

Sc; John w. Lamar IS; W. G. Kerr, 81:
thus electing Swartz and Finlayson to
membership on the board.
Tuesday night was the time set for
opening the bids for the building of
the four miles of sewer which we are
to have this summer. There We're over
thirty contractors present. and twenty
three bids were submitted.

Construction Company. Davenport,
$17,232.01, and NJ. Ford, Cedar Rapids,
$17,2S3.25, was held. the balance re-
jected. and the certified checks re-
turned to the bidders. The bid of NJ.
Tschirgi & Sons. of Dubuque, was
digger for the trenches. and
claim to dig as high as 900 to 1000 feet
per day. The bid was nearly $4,000
lower than the estimate placed on the
job by the engineer. MIR. Chase, and
was very satisfactory to both the coun
Gil and the citizens who were present.

SUPERFLOUS HAIR
DOCTORS SAY THERE Is A HARM
LESS, SAFE AMID SURE WAY
TO REMOVE IT.
Or. starbuok Says: II Feel Justified in
Making the Assertion That II 10 Tho
Only Successful Method Of
Removing Hair.

Every woman who Is afflicted with
superfuous hair will undoubtedly be
glad TO know that there Is but one
proper and logical method of getting
rid OF this most annoying and embar-
RAISING Disagreement.
The best authorities in the medical
profession agree that DE Miracle will
destroy hair successfully, altho there
are many other unreliable things which
claim to do 1t. The SUCCESS which has
attended the preparation as q means Of
removing hair Is based upon the meth
cd by which it works. it is a purely
scientific principle and totally differ
ant from the pastes and powders and
other remedies which simply break off
the hair In the same way that the razor
does, making the hair when 1t grows
out again heavier than before,
: Az far as the electric needle or X-ray
is concerned, both are not only unsatis-
factory, but dangerous us well. The
scars and burns Of the electric needle
last for time and the dangers Of
the X-ray are indeed serious.
De Miracle may be used without any
Inconvenience or danger OF any kind.
The method by which It removes hair
should not be Dassed or compared
with that of tho fake free treatments
which are advertised so extensively in
the newspapers.
Remember De Miracle is the only
method for removing hair which is en-
dorsed by physicians, surgeons, der
matologists. medical journals and pro-
minent magazines.
We. shall be pleased indeed to send
you absolutely free in plain sealed
envelope a 54-page booklet containing
full Information concerning this re-
markable treatment as well as testi-
monials Of prominent physicians, sur
geons, dermatologists. medical journals
and the principal magazines. You
should read this booklet before you try
anything. 1t treats the subject ex-
haustivsiy. Write to the De Miracle
Chemical Company department F. C.,
1903 Park avenue, New York. simply
saying you want this booklet, and 1t
will be mailed sealed at once.
