Special Ballot IlIegaI.-That the
special ballot cast at the recent cleo
ton for establishment of tubercu-
losis hospital in Scott county is il
legal, was the declaration made be-
fore the board of supervisors by one
member of that body, Julius San
ders. The law requires that to is
sue bonds for establishment of tub
erculosis hospital and have it voted
on at an election, the proposition
must be submitted to the voters and
notices thereof must be published in
the papers at least 90 days before
the election. 1t also provides the
signatures of 200 or more resident
voters of the county must be secured.
Promoters of the movement failed to
perform either of the above duties.
County Attorney Fred VOllmer
states that he was not consulted on
the matter and that no one in par
ticular was to blame for the mis-
take. 1t was merely an oversight
on the part of those interested in
the movement. The proposition for
establishment Of the hospital was
sent to the court house from the city
hall a month before election and or
dered placed on the ballot. Some
days before election it was discover
ed that the proposition, If passed.

TO allow it to remain on the ballot
in order to obtain an expression of
opinion from the voters. The meas

ton, two years distant. In the mean
time. however, it is hoped to arrange
for some temporary measures by
which these patients may be properly

Health and Beauty Helps
BY MRS. NAE MARTYR

Hester: You say that you are TAX
ing on flesh at rate that dismays
you, and will faithfully follow my
advice if I tell you how to secure
stylish slenderness. I am glad to
say you will not find my directions
difficult to follow, for l do not be-
neve in starving or violent excise
to avoid obesity. Just get four
ounces of parnotis from your drug
gist, dissolve it in Il pints hot wat
er, and take a tablespoonful of this
Harmless fat DISCOVER before each
meal. Weigh yourself at the end of
each week for four weeks and you
will be lighter in spirit as well as

Mrs. r: To alIay and soothe the
irratation and roughness of your
complexion caused by hard water,
sun or winds apply lotion made as
follows: Dissolve four ounces of
spormax in a half-pint of hot wat
er and add two teaspOonfuls of gly-
cerine Apply with the palm of the
hand and gently rub until dry. Use
wash daily instead of powder or cos
metic. Spurmax preserves the skin
and beauties the complexion, max
ing it soft, smooth and white.
". s.: I do not think brunettes
are afflicted with superfluous hairs
on the face any more than blondes.
OF course. black or dark hairs are
more noticeable. You can easily get
rid of them if you will use delatone.
Make a paste by mixing a little of
the powder with a little water, cover
the skin from which you wish to re-
move the disfiguring hairs, let re-
main two or three minutes, then wipe
off the paste and wash the skin
thoroughly with warm water. Della
tone is pretty expensive. Druggists
charge one dollar an ounce, but 1t
is worth it. If the hairs should re-
turn they will be thin and almost
colorless and another application Of
delatone will permanently rid you
of them.
w. J. G.: Especially at this
season of the year you should be
feeling energetic, full of life and
have a good appetite Even though
you do not feel really sick, you
should take a good tonic to rid your
blood of its impurities and build up
your health and strength generally.

Councilmen Pay $3.50
For Pretty Plans Of
Impossible Fire Tug

Here is the way the city council does business:
Fred Balm and Mccoy & Spear last year got into
fight over making plans for fire tug for Tacoma.
Each said the other was incompetent. So anxious
was the council to rush through fire tug scheme,
however that despite the charges against all the
chitects, the council got them together and gave
them the job jointly.
The plans were finished couple of weeks ago. The
council took them looked at the pictures few min
utes, then accepted them and ordered the money
paid, amounting to &c. $50.
Later some members looked at the specifications
and found they would not do.
Then they began trying to save something out of
the wreck. In the meantime the architects rushed
to the treasurer and got their money.
Now the council has lot of pretty plans.

three sisters piled the voyagers
with all the goodies in the house.
Paul ate enough for both, but the
little lame angel wouldn't eat
anything. Fruit, pie, candied
sweet potatoes, ice cream, dough

with the ice cream Mrs. Hyupp
served some angel food and the
little lame angel nibbled some of
that and declared she had had an
ample supper.

were tucked in with much gig

After a while the three sisters
dropped off to sleep and the little
angel took the covers and made
them into a round nest, in which
she snuggled down quite comfort
ably. She had no idea the sisters
would be cold, and when they
awoke and felt around for the COW
ers and were cross about it, the
little lame angel fluttered out of
her nest and famed them with
her well wing, until the hot, angry
feelings were famed away. Then
she gave them the covers and sang
them to sleep in the sweetest
voiced song you ever dreamed OF,

morning they found the little an
