sible for you to catch cold, for it eff
fectually closes the pores of the skin
without clogging them as soap and
water does.
Il must admit, however, that have
not yet reached the stage where
can get along without the old-fashion-
ed water bath. But in Paris, where
sand baths are most popular. there
are a great many who have found
water no longer necessary to cleanli-
ness. Indeed, really feel cleaner
and look cleaner after my sand bath
than I do after the water bath.
How to Treat Face.
For the face, special paper and
Especial sand should be used. And It
is not wise to attempt to use the blast
on the face until one is fairly ex-
pert, for there is the great danger of
getting the sand in ones eyes. The
sand paper should be used vigorously
on the cheeks and nose and the sand
rub should be equally as hearty. 1t
gives a complexion such as no
amount of lotions or cosmetics could
ever produce.
The Countess Won Hatzfeldt's fad
for sand bathing is rapidly spreading
among the chorus members of "a Girl
at the Helm" company. Already a
half dozen girls have taken 1t up. and
the pictures produced herewith are
of Miss Edith Gilbert who is an ar
dent devotee of the new cult and who
posed especially for them.

concerning the benefits that had ac-.
crued to the social and business life
of Mitchell by means of the club, and
that it's headquarters had been used
with freedom by both. While he re-
gretted very much to see the club
go out Of existence after life of
about eight years, yet he felt that
with it's affairs passing into the hands
of the Elks none of the features of
the club would be lost, and that it
would prove a benefit to the social
and business life of the city. Exalted
Ruler Herbert of the Elks, made a
brief speech to thank the club mem
bers for the uniform courtesy that
had been extended the organization
in it's desire to purchase the clubs
property, and he spoke the apprecia-
Elks. In closing he extended a very
cordial invitation to all the members
Of the the club to join the Elks. 1t IL
understood that the greater proper

come Elks in the very near future.

MAY PASS THROUGH HERE
Rumors That the Milwaukee's Trans
continental "White Flyer" Go
Through Mitchell.

1t begins to look like the Chicago
Milwaukee & st. Paul railroad con-
templates running it's coast trains
through from Chicago via Mason
City or Sioux City and Mitchell to
Aberdeen and thence west Rumors
OF very strong nature have come
out from the official headquarters of
the company in Chicago to the effect
that this new plan may be put into
operation. The supposition was that
when the new train was put on that
1T would be sent out through st.
Paul and Minneapolis and to Aber-
deen, thence west. The opposition
to this plan arose over the possible
killing of the business that has been
done by the Milwaukee's Pioneer
Limited train that operates between
the twin cities and Chicago, and that
with the establishment of train
that was even finer than the Limited
that either one or both would suffer.
1t has not been decided as yet that
this train will be sent around this
way but the indications point quite
strongly to it.
This new train equipment is said
to be one of the finest in the north
west, that all the cars will be painted
white and the interior furnishings of
a most beautiful character.
Should the train be sent around
it will have very large territory to
draw from and not encroach on the
Pioneer Limited territory, and which
train, the officials figure, could easily
twin cities.
What makes the proposition look
unusually favorable is the great
amount of work that is being arrang-
ed for on the James River and the
Iowa and Dakota divisions of the
company. Between Mitchell and Abb
erdeen the work has already laid out
to gravel the roadbed and to replace
the rails with 80 pound rails, which
will accommodate the traffic of the
compound engines which are used on
the coast trains. The road bed east
of here will also be graveled from
Mitchell to Sanborn, and heavier
rails laid. Graveling the roadbed is a
very expensive proposition, and it
is not thought the company would go
to all that expense unless it was the
policy to make that line the main one
to the coast country. 1t is expected
that this new train service will be
installed by the company about July
1. 1t would make fine passenger
service into and out of Mitchell.

MERGER WENT THROUGH
The Mitchell Club and the Elks
Reached an Agreement on the
Merger of Interests.

A meeting of the Mitchell Club was
held Friday evening at which was
presented the proposition of merging
the club interests into the Elks or
ganization. A joint meeting of the
committee from each organization
had been previously held and propo.
sition was arranged to be submitted
to the membership of the club.
The agreement called for the sell
ing of the clubs entire outfit in their
rooms to the Elks, and then prorating
the proceeds to the. members of the
club, according to the length of time
they have been members of the club
There was very general discussion
of the proposition and much explain
ing was done to thoroughly acquaint
the members with the procedure.
Inasmuch as the Elks were build
ing a new home, and which they ex-
pect to complete this year, it seemed
to be only matter Of time when the
Elks, who We're also members of the
club, would withdraw from the or
ganlzation and attend their own club
in their home. With this being done,
it seemed to be but matter of time
until the Mitchell Club would cease
to exist through lack of support.
The proposition went through by a
unanimous vote. President Silsby
was authorized to appoint commit
tie OF three members of the club, who
are not Elks, and the latter organiza-
tion also appoint committee of
three, which would act in conjunction
IL the appraisal Of the property own
ed by the club. In case Of dispute
should arise and which they could
not agree upon it was decided to call
in third party not belonging to
either organization When the agree
ment is reached it is left with the
club committee when to turn over
the rooms to the Elks, who will use
the rooms for lodge purposes and
club life until their new building is
completed.

IN SERVICE LONG TIME
Thirty-five Years With the Milwas-
kee Company is the Record OF
Ben Olson.

Thirty-five years is quite a long
time to remain in the employ Of q
railroad company. This record was
made by Ben Olson, Of McGregor,
Iowa. and the occasion was duly
celebrated at his home recently. Mr..
Olson was former resident of Mitch
ell and used to run in and out on the
Milwaukee road, running west and
then being transferred to the east
end of the road. Out this way Ben
was always pol ular with the travel
ing public and with the people of this
city, and his old friends will be glad
to know that he is still able to punch
tickets and yell 'all aboard" with
the same vim of earlier days. A Nc
Gregor paper has the following item
thirty-five years of service:
Last Sunday evening Mr.. Ben
Oleson celebrated two important
events, his 53rd birthday and the
35th anniversary Of his service for

Conductor oleson started in at
North McGregor as a brakeman 35
years ago, having run from North
McGregor to Austin, Mimi This was
before the pontoon bridge spanned
the Mississippi and the coaches were
transferred in barges in summer, and
In winter, piling was driven in and
rails laid to run the trains over the
ice. Those were interesting exper-
fences for railroad men. This long
service for the company nas not been
without its reward, and Conductor
Oleson stands in the highest repute
not only with his employees, but also
with the vast number of travellers.
"The evenings enjoyment was en-
hanced by banquet which was up
to Mrs. Oleson's usual style, and we
all did ample Justice. The evening
was one Of pleasure long to be re-
membered by the participants. Here's

days, all happier than the last"

Court Heeds Women.

In an exhaustive opinion refusing
the application of Samuel w. Lilley
to keep an inn where liquor may be
sold, Judge Royal P. fuller, at
Bridgeton, lays stress upon the pro-
test of 1877 women of Greenwich
Township against the license. The
opinion has been the subject of wide
spread comment in this section of the
State, which, though it includes the
cities of Bridgeton and Millville and
the Borough of Vineland, has but
four licensed drinking places. After
reviewing the testimony adduced,
Judge fuller says in his opinion:
There is n phase of this question
which seems to have been ignored by
counsel, the protest of 1877 adult
women of this township. They, in
deed, are the chief sufferers, and have
no other method of defense against
the liquor evil than their protest to
the court. l see no reason why their
testimony should not be accepted by
me as the actual conditions existing
in the township. Their protest,
therefore, must be combined with
that of s~eyenty-fve worthy citizens
resident of the township and must be
controlling with the court"

manfully made his way through the
courses of an old-fashioned Inde-
pendence Day dinner, he felt it was
most fortunate the event was annual.
When 1872 came we celebrated In

When peace was declared, or rather
as late as 1913, the Nation really be-
gan to celebrate its birthday in some
thing the same fashion as to-day, al
though the methods have altered with
conditions.
All this time the Stars and Stripes
had played a growing part in indie
pendence Day events. They were
first hoisted in the form of a flag
made of scraps of a blue jacket, a
white shirt and red flannel, during
the siege of the American garrison of
Fort Stanwix, afterward Rome, New
York, August 6, 1777. The first dis
play meant that the flag designed by
General Washington and made by
Mrs. Betsy Ross in her little Philadel-
phia home signalized the humbling
of one great nation and the birth of
another destined to become great.

What ar amazing difference there
is between Jul home Independence
Day celebrations this year and that
never to be forgotten day 1873 a
ago. Now we are comfortable, at
peace with the world, with no danger
of a foreign soldiery driving us from
home and destroying all we have.
Those who, waiting in their homes
July a, 1875, heard the triumphant
boom of independence Bell, knew the
signal of approaching homelessness
and %privation for many of them was
sounding. They had comfortable
homes in what many persons were
pleased to call "the struggling colo
nfes," just as comfortable to their
occupants as our are to us. 1t was
harder to make a home then than
now, and to be obliged to give one
up was, therefore, the greater sac
rifice.
From the very beginning of things
In these United States the home has
been the bulwark of the Nation. 9th
er things have been called by that
name, but the home is really the bull
wark that has kept overwhelming
waves of disaster from coming
aboard the good Ship of State. His
torians only tell of formal actions and
incidents, and other matters connect
ing them. If, however, we lift the
curtain and look at the many facts
all unwittingly hidden, then we be-
gin to appreciate the American home,
to understand why it is an integral
feature of independence Day.

of the little company that met in In
dependence Hall, just 1873 years ago.
Great changes have taken place,
while all the events noted were hap
pening, in the American home. These
may be largely attributed to altered
methods Of living. While from the
first settlement up to 1800~there was
a considerable difference, it is since
1900 that the homes nave changed
most.
At that time there were no large
cities. : Philadelphia had a popula-
ton of $4,000. Next came New York
with $4,000. Then Boston with 49,
600, and Baltimore with 1900. The
places named had not lost a rural
appearance. In Boston, for example,
the streets were u%npaved, and the
sidewalks unfagged. The better
houses were usually built of brick,
with little flower gardens in front,
or lawns dotted with shrubbery. Fur
niture, silver and china were mostly
imported from England, although we
bore small love for the mother coun-
try.
There was no heating by furnaces
or steam pipes, but there were large
fireplaces with brass andirons holding
stout logs of wood. A tall clock US
ually stood in the corner, and fairly
good pictures, including portraits by
Copley and historic scenes by Trum-
bull, hung upon the walls. OF books
there were very few by American
authors. Milton and Bunyan, Pope
and Young, the Spectator, the Letters
of Junius and Rollins Ancient His
tory were the books most often seen
lying about.
Most everyone dressed exactly as
did the men and women of England,
If they sought to be fashionable, a
fashion that has not altogether died
out in some American homes of to-
day. Social life consisted largely in
dinners and teas and churchgoing.
Instead of the modern piano there
were spinets and harpsichords-small
