Health and Beauty Helps
BY MRS. MAE MARTYR.

Miss +. r.. A lotion that will help your
red hands, dark face and neck perma-
nently can be made by dissolving four
ounces of spurmax in one-half pint of
hot water and adding two teaspoonfuls
of glycerine. This lotion will whiten and
beautify your skin and take away that
coarse, muddy look you have. This is
much better than face powder, as it does
not show on the skin. and will not rub off
easily, like the powder does when you
wear veil. SpurmaN lotion is inexpen-
sve and will give any sallow, oily skin
pinkish. youthful appearance. 1t is fine
for cold sores, tan, freckles and as a pro-
lection to the face against cold winds. |

divorces if all wives were as careful of
their good looks as are most girls before
marriage You will never improve your
complexion as long as you continue plas-
tering your face nightly with that greasy
cold cream. A good cold cream is just
what you need. but be sure it contains no

"A Little Diapepsin Will Regulate
The Digestion.
Makes 0ut.of.0rder Stomachs Feel
Fine In 5 Minutes

Take your sour, out of order stom-

of Stomach; it doesn't matter
take your stomach trouble right
ask him to open a 50-cent case Of
Pape's Diapepsin and let you eat one
22-grain Triangule and see if within
five minutes there is left any trace Of
your former misery.
The correct name for your trouble is
Food Fermentation-food souring; the
Digestive organs become weak, there
is lack Of gastric juice; your food is
only half digested, and you become af :
fected with loss Of appetite, pressure
and fullness after eating, vomiting,
nausea, heartburn, gripping in bowels,
tenderness in the pit of stomach, bad
taste in mouth, constipation, pain in
limbs, sleeplessness, belching of gas,
bliousness, sick headache, nervous
ness, dizziness or many other similar
symptoms.
If your appetite is tickle and moth
ing tempts you, or you belch gas or if
you feel bloated after eating, or your
food lies like lump of lead on your
stomach, you can make up your mind
that at the bottom of all this there is
but one cause-fermentation of undi-
gested food.
Prove to yourself in five minutes
that your stomach is as good f. as
any; that there is nothing really
wrong. Stop this fermentation and
begin eating what you want without
fear of discomfort or misery.
Almost instant relief is waiting for
you. 1t is merely matter of how
soon you take little Dapepsln.

change its lines they were unsuccess-
full, and within few months there
was nothing left of the town.
Fort Calhoun, the site of the Lewis
and Clark treaty with the Indians in
1904, was in the early sixties a town
of about 1900 persons, due in part
to the proximity to the military post
1t was then the county seat of Wash
ingtOn county and a strong contend
er for choice as the capital when the
whites decided that they would not
live in a reservation town or retain
it as a county seat.
Legislators Changed Location.
Fontenelle, another Washington
county town, now a hamlet, had a
college once, did much trading with
the Indians and freighters, and was
the seat Of Dodge county. The poll
ticians changed the county lines at
legislative session when Fonte-
nellie wasn't looking and threw it
into Washington county, which caus-
ed it to be overshadowed and speed
lily killed
Bellevue and Florence, both locat-
ed near Omaha, the one south and
the other north along the Missouri
river, were each at one time much
larger than Omaha. Florence once
had 5000 people; now it has less
than 500. 1t was the winter quar-
ters of a great number of MormOns,
who camped there while on their
way to Utah in the late forties and
early ffties. Later it was the west
ernmost point of heavy immigration.
For time it was doubtful whether
Omaha or Florence would win in the
race between the two cities, but when
the scales turned in favor Of Omaha
by favor of the Union Pacific railroad
Florence became almost a deserted
village.
