How Many Women
Keep Young

"A woman may be old at Is and
young at S0,' says Mrs. Margaret
Holmes Bates, prominent Chicago
clubwoman Years don't matter.
Didn't Ninon de L'Enclos have pro-
posal at 90?"
The youth of our women is more
lasting than it was a generation ago,
because we are becoming acquainted
with simple physiological laws. When
the first aging marks appear-wrin-
kles, baggy cheeks, neck and chin
we realize that the cause Is loosen
ing of the skin and softening of the
tissue underneath We know the
cause must be removed. Instead of
laying on pastes we send to the drug
store for an ounce of saxolite and a
half pint of witch hazel, mix them and
battle face, neck and hands in the
1 solution. We know this tightens the
skin solidifies the tissue. induces a
healthy circulation. We treat causes
rather than effects. We use reason
and stay young.

1872 Cents per Mile

The Santa Fe railroad recently
printed upon its folders a statement
to the effect that the railroads of the
country are receiving, on an average
only 1872 cents per mile for transport.
ing passengers. The reports of the
Santa Fee road shows that it makes
rates which do not yield even that
much. Its report recently placed on
file at the state house shows that its
revenue from passenger business fig
ured out 1896 cents mile for each
one That was for the year ended
June 30, last. For the previous year
1T was reported as 2,007 cents and the
year before it was 1909 cents a mile
This would indicate the road is not
charging the full 2 cents, to which Il
is entitled, though UP till last year

The Chicago and Northwestern is
getting more per mile from pay pas

distribution Among Inter

ATTRACTIVE AS CAN BE
eleven Pages Devoted to Tell Of Big
Dam, keokuk's Railroad Facill-
ties and Many Other
Advantages.

"a Word About Keokuk, Iowa, the
Home of the Largest Hydro-electric
Power Plant in the World,' is con-
|tained in an advance circular which
| has been published by the Keokuk
Industrial Association to be sent broad
cast to those making inquiries about
| the city and it's advantages.
The circular contains eleven pages
and is very attractively gotten up in
what appears to be time table form.
The first four pages of the circular
are devoted to pictures and descrip-
ton of the dam, power soon available,
splendid docking facilities, the lake
to be formed and the transportation
facilities by rail. Then follows de-
scriptive matter on transportation by
river and the effect of the river on
freight rates.
A page devoted to the comparative
cost advantages in use of hydro-elec-
trio power says:
Manufacturers who might change
locations because of cheaper power
should give consideration to the exact
cost of their present steam power.
Often all the data submitted to manu-
facturers are the cost of fuel and part
wages of engineer or fireman. whereas
the following should be shown:
Investment in boilers, engines, con
denser, etc, line shafting and pulleys
and betting for same, and the interest
on this amount; also on Investment
in boiler and engine rooms.
The average annual cost for severa
years past should be computed, wages
paid for overtime, cost of work clean
ing boilers and renewing fire brick
CRATES, etc, cost of work on line shaft
ing, pulleys. belts. etc. All thi.
should be divided by actual horse
power USED, not by total "ready t
use
AS for fuel If you use any vast
. material from plant, the amount syo'
could sell it for should be charged a
cost. 1t may possibly be sold for NOR
