SUPERFLUOUS HAIR

There are many treatments advertised In the
newspapers for the removal OF supernuous hair
but there Is little offered by the manufacturers
OF these preparations in the way Of substantial
evidence OF their worth This IA not the case
with the well known method. DeMiracle. Or.
Starbuck. the prominent physician. says; AFTER
thoroughly testing DeSfiracle In my practice I
can say that I feel justified 10 making the asser-
tion that IL is the only successful method OF re-
moving objectionable gr0wths OF hair from any
portion Oe the body It does the work promptlY,
It is a elesnly method and does not inJure the
most delicate skin, does It the slightest
pain. even the most sensitive portions OF the
body. I can heartily indorss DeMiracle and
recommend its use"

proof

pulverize sufficient of Stuart's Char

be at all improbable that some person
had broken open the cellar door in the
hope of finding something there.
Another theory was that Lena had
unintentionally committed suicide. The
child had been in the habit of winding
shawls and handl6erchiefs around her
neck. and the presumption among some
was that finding a scarf she had tied it
around her neck and twisted it to such
an extent as TO impair her already Ia
bored breathing.
Still another story is that she had
found some poisonous substance in wan
oering around the fields and eaten it.
To determine this fact the stomach will
be anaIyzed by the city chemist either
today or tomorrow.
The child's parents do not believe that
Lena met with foul play. thinking that
she died from natural causes.
The police. while inclined to this be-
lief. think that the circumstantial evil
dence and the mystery surrounding the
death warrant a full and complete in
vestigation.
The coroner's Office has no opinion to
give, one way or the other, as to how
she came TO her death.
The girls father, Emil Muzzio, is a
vegetable gardener. The house IN which
the body was found was built about
two years ago, but was never inhabited.

PALERMO, Sicily, March pa SOL
emn public funeral was accorded to
Lieutenant Joseph Petrosino today. 1t
was held in an atmosphere vibrant
with excitement and marked by re-
markable incident.
The prefect of Palermo did not ap-
pear, and Commissioner Ceola, chief
of police, walked beside the hearse,
which was guarded by a strong con-
tingent Of carbineers. Behind the
hearse civic officials bore an enormous
wreath of laurels and artificial flowers.
The little procession moved slowly
to the Piazza Castel Naovo, where. sud-
denly the driver of the hearse lashed
his horses and, to every ones amaze
ment, galloped furiously to the water
front. The coff1ned body was placed
quickly on a mail packet.
The strange episode is explained
variously. Some insist that there was
a. plot to halt the hearse and throw
bombs In the crowd.

CARPENTERS Fight
JAPANESE LABOR
Union Adopts Resolutions
Against Orientals and Plans
Nation Wide Campaign

OAKLAND, March 20.-Aroused by
inroads which it is claimed are being
made by japanese workmen into GER
tain building trades. the district coun-
ell of carpenters of Alameda county,
representing a membership of 2SOe
men, has adopted strong anti-Japanese
resolutions.
Resentment, which has been gather
ing over the employment of Japanese
carpenters by some owners and build
ers, eliminated in an incident which
occurred February %. Two union car
penters employed on a building in
course of construction observed the
national holiday and returned to their
work the following morning to find
that the builder had employed Japanese
carpenters to dsplace them
The resolutions adopted by the dis
trict council point out several instances
Of this kind and deplore the fact that
the cheapneSS of Japanese labor as
compared to the reasonable living wage
necessary for a white workman com
mends this class of foreign labor to
some employers. The resolutions
praise certain articles concerning the
Pacific coast race question which have
appeared in eastern magazines and
casually refer to the recent controversy
between the state Legislature and the
federal government.
The object of the resolutions. as set
forth in them, is to bring the facts of
the Japanese labor situation to the at
tention of every local and affiliated
union in California, and through the
national officers of the organization to
call the matter to the attention of
every central body of organized labor
in the United States and Canada.

THE REFERENDUM.

Petitions are being circulated in the
central and northern portion of the
state, asking that the new congress
sional district law be referred to the
people at the November election in
1910, under the referendum provision
of the constitution. This will have
the effect of postponing until after the
next election any action under that
bill, leaving the state in one district
as 1t has been. 1t is possible that the
census of next year will show such an
increase in the states population as
to entitle South Dakota to three mem
bers, but this will not be known in
time for congress to make reappoint-
ment OF it's membership before l9l1.
The new state law, in case the refer
endum is appealed to and even if the
vote should favor, cannot go into eff
feet so as to be OF any practical bene-
fit, before the general election, 1912.

for new land is taking farmers away

Miller Gazette: People kiss their
dead, says an exchange, who never
kiss their living; they hovers over
open caskets with hysterical sobs but
fail to show the wealth of warm affec-
ton about those loved ones who are
fighting the stern battles of life,
writes a noted man. How unheeding-
ly we permit the opportunities for
carrying sunshine into the lives Of
those we love pass by. a word of
cheer to a struggling soul in life is
worth more than all the roses in
Christendom piled high on the casket
covers The dead cannot smell the
fragrance of the flowers but the living
can; scatter them broadcast in their
pathway, therefore, and pluck out
the thorns. A welcome smile, a
CHEEKY well done, an affectionate
look, will cause rift in the lowering
clouds and permit the glorious sun
shine to gladden. the lives of those
you love.
