O.
Vikings Grand Lodge to Meet Here
The grand lodge of the Independent
Order of Vikings will convene in Mo
line May 272s, and members of Fret
lodge No. Is of this city are already
busy on plans for entertainment OF the
delegates and other visitors. This will
be the second time in the history of
Illinois grand lodge that an annual
convention has been held outside the
city OF Chicago, and for this reason 1t
is proposed to provide royal enter
tainment. Sessions will be held in Tur-
ner hall, beginning at 9 a. m. Friday,
May 81. A banquet will be served as
a closing feature Saturday evening.
AS one of the features of the enter
tainment an excursion has been plan
ned and the steamer James P. Pearson
has been chartered. The majority of
the visitors will remain in the city
over Memorial Sunday, and the excur-
sion may be held on the Monday fol-
lowing. In this event trips to the ar
senal. to Carnpbell's island, the Watch
Tower and other points of interest
will be arranged. The committee of
Fret lodge in charge of grand lodge
plans: Fred Sundeen. C. w, Carlson,
John Sandholm, N. o. Anderson,
Charles Stromberg and C. NJ. Lund-
berg.
To Push Commission Plan. The
civic commission of the Moline club
and the Retail Merchants association
are to work hand in hand for adoption
here of the commission plan of mu-
nicipal government. A committee from
the civic commission was present at a
meeting of the Retail Merchants asso-
citation and it was practically decided
that Moline shall vote at the election
this fall on this special proposition:
Shall Moline adopt the commission
form of city government" If those
present at the meeting Tuesday night
had voted on the question the answer
would have been unanimously in the
affirmative. There are many citizens
who are not well informed on the new
form of government for cities; this
being the case, the two civic better
ment bodies are planning a systematic
education through the newspapers and
by other means.
Auto Wrecked.-A Velie stock car,
fresh from the factory, was put out of
commission yesterday via the skid.
ding route. The accident happened at
Fifth avenue and Seventh street, a
rear left wheel of the machine being
reduced to kindling when 1t struck a
telephone pole on the north side of
the boulevard. A Velie driver was in
the car, which was headed west. The
car was travelling at rapid clip, when
suddenly it skidded and turned COM

Spanish Girl: Yes, short sleeves
and low necks will be worn this sum-
mer-probably to a greater extent
than ever Before. But don't worry
about your red hands and dark neck;
neither pin your hopes to face or tai
cum powders. Try this recipe now
and see what it does for you: Get
from your druggist four ounces of
spurmax, dissolve it in half pint hot
water and add two teaspoonfuls of
glycerine. Apply this inexpensive To-
ton to your face, neck and forearms,
rubbing gently. You will find it does
not rub off or show and that it
whitens your skin, giving it a clear,
smooth and youthful appearance
Spurmax is the greatest complexion
beautifier 1 know.
"Saleslady:" When you consider
that most foot powders clog the
pores you can readily understand
why they fail to give relief to sore
and sweaty feet. Try bathing your
feet in a basin of hot water in which
you have dissolved two teaspoonfuls
of phrosol. That is a most refresh
ing treatment for tired and aching
feet. 1t helps the pores expel all
poisonous waste matter and has CIV
en- relief after other remedies had
failed to many who suffered from
tender feet. 1t also acts as a pre-
tentative of corns, bunions and cal
louses. If your druggist has no
phrcsol in stock he can get 1t from
his wholesaler IL he cares to be ac-
commodating.
B. L. H.: The best thing ] know to
remove superfiuous hair from the
face or forearms is a simple mixture
of delatone. Mix little of the DOW
der with enough water to make a
paste. Cover the surface from which
you wish to remove the hair with this
paste; let it remain two or three min
utes; then wipe off the paste and
wash the skin thoroughly with warm
water. Get the delatone from your
druggist in the original one-ounce
package. One application will re-
move the hair, but II may grow in
again. II it does 1t will be light and
scarcely discernible. Two or three
treatments with delatone will remove
the hair permanently.

overcharge you when she asked IS

member that rent and many other
items pile up expenses for a beauty
parlor. You can take a canthrox
shampoo at home at cost of two
or three cents. All you need do is

TACTICS AT GETTYsBURG, as De-
scribed by Participants in the Battle
Gettysburg, Pa: The Compiler Print
This latest review Of the three days
battle at Gettysburg Pa, in July Of 1858,
is compilation Of the salient criticisms
Of the tactics employed by the forces
on both sides. So much has been written
about the battle that another original
work by any one but an acknowledged
authority would be presumptuous as well
as superfuous This book aims to present
merely what has been ably said by those
whose authority has been acknowledged.
No other battle of the civil war has
caused so much controversy. Every fea-
ture has been fully covered. Held to-
gether by thin thread of story Of the
fighting. these views are given in this
book. The aims of the commanders are
shown, the means and methods they
adopted and the results they attained. 1t
is presentation designed for the student
of the battle rather than for the reader
who wants to know merely what hap
pened. This book aims to show the
why and the how" Its publication is
opportune, coming at the time of the
great military camp Of instruction at
Gettysburg, when more than ordinary at
tention Is directed toward the picturesque
county seat of Adams county. The COM
piler Of this useful work is Alex. T.
Cowell of this city, who has for a long
period been engaged in an analytical
study of the battle and is exceptionally
well qualified to present such a work.
