Mud Dough

Cement and sand and stone
and water are the ingredients of
the ''dough" from which houses
are being made. When they are
properly mingled together in
proportions to suit their purpose
the mixture is really wonderful
thing. IF you were to hollow
ont house with the labor Of
years from the solid rock of the
everlasting hills, you would not
have a more substantial, and not
nearly so beautiful a home as if
you had constructed it simply
and easily from this mud.

Cured of Hard Drinking

Prof. William Lyon Phelps of
Yale recently told this story at
New Haven's chamber of COM
merce banquet: A hard orinKer
was told by his doctor he could
becured if every time he felt that
he must have drink he would
Immediately take something to
eat instead. The man followed
the advice and was cured, but
the habit of asking for food had
become so fixed with him that
once he was nearly locked up as
a lunatic. He was stopping at
hotel and hearing a great COM
motion in the room next to his,
he peeped over the transom to
see what the matter was. He
saw, and rushed madly down to-
the Office and shouted to the
clerk: "The man in 153 has shot
himself. Ham and egg sandwich,
please"

The Peril of ..Butting I'm. -

In his address before the stu
dents of McGill University Rud-
yard Kipiing told the following
story:
A certain man owned a dry
goods store, and one day, to his
great disgust, he heard a new
clerk say to woman:
mo, madam, we have not had
any for long time"
With a fierce glance at the
clerk the smart employer rushed
up to the woman and said:
"We have plenty in reserve,
a'am; plenty up stairs"
Lady and clerk looked dazed,
and afterward the smart propri
etor learned that the clerks re-
mark had been made in answer
to the woman's "We haven't had
any rain lately"

Mrs. G. w. McCulloch of Chi

of justice of the peace, told q
Chicago reporter that in the
performance of marriage ceremo-
nies she proposed to omit the
word "obey."
SIN these enlightened times"
said Mrs. McCulloch, ''the word
obey has lost it's meaning in the
marriage contract, so l think we
should drop this meaningless

The sentiment in favor of a
tariff commission is growing.
Mr.. Carnegie favors it: the Ma
tional Association of Manufac-
turers originated lit; the press
has given it publicity and popu-
larity. A tariff commission of
experts will doubt IS / e better
fitted for the handling of this
subject than heterogeneous,
unqualified mass like the house

How J Keep My Hair Young and Beau
tifuI.
(By Mable Graham. !

(By Mable Graham)
l Know that every woman desires
beautiful hair and If they will follow
my rules they will have as long. soft
and fluffy hair as l have. In the first
place wash my hea.. we'll once or
twice a month with shampoo made
as follows: Take half ten-cent cake
OF pure catsile soap, shave fine, dis
solve this in half pint of water with
aid OF gentle heat; when dissolved
beat in the yolk of one egg and Juice
OF one lemon; stir until cold. Rub a
ilttle OF this into the root of the hair.
and rince thoroughly with warm water
ana dry. also use quinine hair ton
lc freely, which keeps the scalp clean
and the hair in beautiful and healthy
condition, and is especially good for
dandruff and falling hair. find the
the best tonic can be made by mixing
half pint of alcahol with half a pint
OF water and adding one ounce of
beta quinol Qiquid), or you can use
one pint of Bay Rum in place of the
alcohol and water. This makes a aui.
nine hair tonic better than the high
priced imported makes, and a whole
pint only costs G5 to Is cents. am
sure If every lady will try this receipt
they Will always have young and beau
tiful hair, and plenty of 1t.

OTTUMWA GOES WET
BY COURT RULING
All Saloons May Now Operate, Ac
cordins to Ruling of Judge


OTTUMWA, May 12.-Judge Vermil-
lion in the district court this morning
ruled that the revocation petition, the
filing of which last December closed
all Ottumwa saloons, was insufficient,
and the saloons, wholesale houses
and brewery all opened today.
All the saloons were closed here fol-
lowing the meetings of Evangelist
Sunday and the circulation of petit
ton to revoke the petitions of consent
then in for"c This revocation petition
carried the names OF an apparent ma
iority of the voters of the city, but
was contested on the grounds that
some of the signers did not vote in
the preceding general election and 9th
ers were not registered as voters.
Police Judge Kirby first passed on
the validity of the petition holding it
insufficient and the case was appealed
to the district court and heard by
Judge Vermillion
A few saloons opened recently, af-
ter the decision by Police Judge
Kirby. anticipation of Vermillions' de-
cision, but they carried but little stock
and have been in fear of being closed
up. Vermillions' decision leaves moth
ing in the way of operating all the
saloons.
