FINDS FALSE NAMES
ON LIQUOR PETITION
CITY CLERK BELIEVES FRAUD
PERFORATED
Seven Sections Signed and Sworn to
by Non-Voters--Fifteen Sig
natures Appear In Same
Handwriting

Unmistakable evidence of fraud in
connection with the petition asking for
an extension of the wholesale liquor
zone has been found by City Clerk Lee
lande, and he will certify the petition is
insufficient to force the council to call
a special election.
The city clerks department has had
more trouble with this petition than
any other similar one that has been
presented. When the petition was first
filed it was found that seven sections
had been signed and sworn to by per-
sons who were not themselves qualified
voters. Later fifteen signatures APP
peared, all in the same handwriting,
and many names appeared on the petit
ton which the real owners declared
were forgeries.
Mr. Lelande has asked the city attor-
ney to decide certain matters in con-
nection with the petition. One is the
advisability of beginning criminal pro-
ceedings against those who took false
oaths and who perpetrated forgeries.
But whether or not criminal proceed
ings are Instituted no election will be
called for the purpose of securing votes
on an extension of the liquor zone.

MAN CONVICTED OF TRYING
TO ENTICE SCHOOL GIRL
Prisoner Is Forced to Pay Fine of
500, Which Sum He Put
Up for Ball

Police Justice Frederickson yester-
day sentenced Thomas Melones to pay
a fine of 500 for battery on Tillie Po-
lonsky, a 13-year-old schoolgirl. Me-
lones wished to serve the alternative
of 100 days in jail, but as the amount
of his fine was up for bail and In the
possession of the court he was not
allowed to do so and was compelled
to part with his money If the bail
had been drawn down before sentence
was passed Melones would have been
allowed to serve the jail sentence, but
according to law when bail money is
in possession of the court 1t Is COM
pulsory to apply 1t on the fine.
Melones was found guilty of having
threatened with revolver and a knife
a young schoolgirl near the Amelia
Street school several days ago. He is
alleged to have demanded that she ac-
company him and to have seized her

HAIR REMOvERS
 ARE DANGEROUS
pr. Wertenbaker says:-"Don't Use
 Poisonous DepiIatories."

In treating superhuous hair, it is of vital importance that the agent to be employed should be absolutely non . poisonous, antiseptic and germicidai, because if it is not so with frequent use 1t will produce eczema or blood poisoning. The trouble with the ma 1ority Of ladies Is that they don't do little thinking for themselves. When an assertion Is made by some unre- ble concern they take it as gospel truth. They never consider the relia- bllity, neither do they question or ask for any substantiating proof that a preparation is non-poisonous They seem to think that the bare word of the manufacturer Is sufficient. To the contrary, ladies should be most par ticular in choosing a hair remover and learn first what reputable authorities s know about 1t,
 Dr. Wertenhalser the prominent phy- siclan, says: For several years I said to my patients, Don't use poisonous depilatories, because they are bound to do harW. l have found De Mira cle to be absolutely non poisonous, anti septic and gernicidal: therefore, on account of these qualities, it Is dis tinctly beneficial to the skin and un- der no circumstances can 1t produce eczema or blood poisoning. I have used the preparation tn my practice for a number of years and find that the prin- ciple of it's chemical and physiolog- teal action Is correct l consider 1t th e only satisfactory method for the re- ihoNal or supefliuous haif.
 Better take a doctors advice. Don't be deceived with the fake free treat ments which are advertised SO exten- sively In the newspapers. Remember. after you have used worthless con coctions it will be harder to remove the hair; therefore, isn't it better to in- vestigate all hair removers first be- fore you try any of them?
 We will send you absolutely free booklet. containing full information concerning the remarkable treat ment. as well as testimonials of prom inent physicians, surgeons, dermatol- : ogists. medical journals and the prin : cipal magazines. You should read this booklet before you try anything. Ii treats the subject exhaustiveIy. Write to the DE MIRACLE CHEMICAL co. simply saying you want this book : let, and it will bs mailed sealed at once.

 He has, it developed, a great dread of being interviewed. This is because, as he explained there are usually a number of questions propounded to which his answers appear in print not at all as they are given. They are frequently, too, questions that have no bearing upon his work and quite misrepresentative.
 Away from the lecture platform the personality of Dr. Griggs is even more interesting and magnetic. He is always essentially graceful and his manner ex- ausitely unassuming.

Though I have been told to avoid the suggestion of the word interview when making an appointment for that very pur- pose, it was what I called it in my brief telephone conversation with the lecturer, Dr Edward Howard Grigsg. a few morn- ings ago. This was probably due to my agitation at interviewing for the first time "a man. I found that he, too, was rather different and not at all anxious to be interviewed, so I hastened to assume him that it was not an interview at all, but simply a friendly chat that I desired, upon which he was most gracious in his protestations that this would be very pleasant. It was later and during my charming little visit to him that he said: sIndeed, if l had known that you were

It is more constant, more daily conservation that we must have. The world draws us away, immediate necessities paralyze our vision and destroy our perspective; we must retire into the soul and listen to the quiet voice that forever speaks the eternal lessons. To come back to the great realities of life and live in their constant presence-this is genius.
