Some people conversation is con-
fined to minute descriptions OF their
troubles. and still they wonder why
they are not popular. h
Comparatively few learned men
want to talk literature and science all
the time after they are married.

ENLARGED Pores.

One of the simplest and best cures
for enlarged pores is to use scrub
bling brush and pure soap. With this
treatment the pores are freed from
the clogged secretions and gradually
become normal.

How To
Gain Flesh

Persons have been known to
gain a pOunda day by takingan
ounce of Scott S Emulsion. 1t
is strange, but it often happens
Somehow the ounce produces
the pound; it seems to start
the digestive machinery going
properly, so that the patient is
able to digest and absorb his
ordinary food which he could
not do before, and that is the
way the gain is made.
A certain amount of flesh IS
necessary for health; If you
have not got it you can get It

BOOST FOR MILLER
And Take Notice

The first question the Citizens League is going to dispose
OF, is the SALOON QUESTION.
The question is: Is the open saloon a benefit, or a detri-
ment to a live progressive town like Miller. If a detriment,
shall it be permitted to fasten it's poisonous fangs upon the
young men of this town, and drag it's victims down to ruin,
while we sit supineIy by. and not lift a finger to stop the
hand of the destroyer
We intend to show you, and to prove to any fair minded
man, who is not politically, or financially interested on the
side of the saloon, or those whose sordid miserly instincts
have so saturated and permeated their souls, that no power
can awaken them to a c consciousness of the right or wrong of
a question, unless it bear the stamp of the Almighty Dollar.
These, We may not be able to convince. But this town ought
to be thankful that it has so few Of these kind of people in it.
We expect to prove to you, that the saloon is a menace to
the Health, Morals, and permanent prosperity of this town;
that the saloon as a legitimate BUSINESS, is an OUTLAW, a
relic of BARBARISM, and outside of the pale of a higher,
nobIer, and better civilization, that is fast spreading it's kind
Iy influence all over this land of ours.
The flag of Liberty, and the cepter of power embIazoned
upon the banner of the free, will not have waved so Loyalty
over our country, as when that day comes, in which the
strong arm of the people rise up in their might, and assert
the power vested in them under our splendid Constitution,
and say once for all, that this Nation shall not be HALF
FREE and HALF SLAVE, and that the power to MAKE HUI
MAN SLAVES, for a few paItry dollars, shall be WRENCHED
FROM IT'S UNLAWFUL ENTERTAINMENTS and cast from
the BattIements of our Republic, into an oblivion from which
team never rise again.
II you are open to conviction, we will convince YOU, that
it is YOUR DUTY, to help in discriminating this ubiquitous
saloon traffic.
We are living in an age, when you must either be found
on the side of RIGHT, or on the side of WRONG. Look deep
down in your heart, and ask yourself the question, which side
will line up with in this contest. Do you want to make
this a BETTER town, or a WORSE town? We earnestly ask
your help. Let's make so big a majority against this saloon
traffic, that no one will have the audacity, and temerity, to
stand up before a respectable town like this is, and ask for
the privilege of making our town into a town of drunkards,
our streets into streets of disorder, and ask of our people that
they sell the future lives of our young men for 80 pieces of
silver.
Life is too short to be all the time pulling down, let's

every barber is perfectly willing

bic TO cut the hair Of a boy With

If you get it right in one place it is
too short in another, and if you
trim it down in the first place, to
make it look like the second, in two
or three weeks the hair will grow
so unequally that the boy looks like
q scarecrow.
"What people call a oowlick is
only a set of the hair roots in a par
ticular direction, by which the hairs
are made to turn at a sharp angle to
the growth on the rest of the scalp.
Babies are often born with cow

with the little hair they have, as
though their heads were fully SOW
cred. But boys generally get them
by the way they have of wearing
their hats or caps. A boy always
sings his cap on the back Of his
head, then gives it a pull down over
his forehead. This draws the hair
or the back straight upward and
very often makes = cowlick. I re-
member one boy who had a semi
circular cowlick from one ear clear
around to the other and another on
the top of his head, where the cap
touched his crown, and when that
boys hair was cut he looked as
though he had a white stripe around
his head at the place where the hair
stood up straight and the scalp
showed through.
"Cowlicks are sometimes RENE

hair in the proper direction, so as
to turn the roots at the right angle.
Men who shave themselves very
often have cowlicks in their beard
by shaving up one side and down
the other. So long as the face is
clean shaven these are never no.
ticed, but when such men start to
grow a beard they find the hair
sticking out in all directions, and
for the first few weeks their faces
are a show, but combing and brush
ing soon turn the roots in the right
direction and the cowlick passes
away. 1t is true that there are some
natural cowlicks that cannot be
eradicated. There is a lady in the
city that has two cowlicks just over
her forehead that have worried her
more than all her sins. She has
brushed them, Strengthened the hair
with pomatum, fastened it back
with hairpins, has done everything
that anybody told her and a good

A student of the University of
Wisconsin was notably poor in his
class work and seemed to take little
interest in what he was doing.
Finally one of his professors could
stand it no longer. He called the
boy aside to give him a lecture,
which he hoped would awaken more
ambition in him.
Now he said, my boy, you
must have some goal ahead. You
must be working to accomplish
some end. What is that end? Why
are you here at the university? Is
it because you intend fitting your
self to be a statesman, a lawyer, a

Man Who Kites
Diamonds in Net
Clever Swindler Realizes $4,000 by
Buying Gems IN Credit and
Pawning Them.

WASHINGTON, Dec. &-The police esti-
mate that In the last two years the pawn
brokers in this city have been fleeced of
about $4,000, probably more, by one man.
who worked SO quietly on such a novel
scheme that he was not caught until today.
1t was the old story of the pitcher that
goes to the well too often being broken.
The man says he is Frederick r. Rice of
Chicago. He is a musician. Now he is
locked up charged with embezzlement. with
other charges pending.
Rlce's plan. the police say, was to buy
diamonds on credit and pawn them. They
say he would agree to make small pay
ments and do so for a time out of the
loans he received on the Jewels from other
pawnbrokers. The system resolved itself
into kiting diamonds, as checks are some
times kited.
In Rice's apartments the detectives say
they found enough pawn tickets TO cover
the walls of a room, and using them as
evidence, the police say Rice's operations
date back two years, his profits mount up
10 81, eOO and involved transactions ranging
from $4,000 to $5OO, 0OO.
