One word should like TO rub out of
the vocabulary used by human beings, one
toward another. 1t is the word don't"
Looking back over somewhat full and
varied experience, | can say that in my
judgment didactic prohibition issued from
soul to soul, for every ounce of good it
has done, has made pound of harm.
Don't is the stupidest, most brainless
and LATEST of all parental terms. To tell
child what to do requires thought, inves-
tigation, interest. To tell anyone what nst
to do requires no cerebration.
'Don'f' is the language of annoyance.

The Mclean RESIGNATION.
ITO b. continual

IOWA CITY. Jan. 19.-W. r. Boyd
of Cedar Rapids. member of the
state board OF education declared that
somebody must have imagined the
resignation Of President Mclean, as
the board has given out nothing !"
Other members are reported to have
denied receiving resignation. J. H.
Trewin, president of the board, could
not be reached, as he is not In the
state. The rumor that the president
has resigned is coupled with number
of other wild reports here, and none is
to be proved or disproved. They in
clude the declaration that half of the
board will go; that w G. Raymond OF
the college Of engineering will be
made president and that Professor
Charles Nobel Gregory, dean of tue
college OF law, will resign. No author
ity can be secured for any OF these
rumors.

Have Beautiful Hair; Dry
Shampoo Method.

The beauty editors of many of the
prominent ladies' journals are advo-
eating the use of the dry shampoo"
in preference to any and all methods
for beautifying the hair. 1t is claimed
that this method is superior to wash
ing the hair and creates clean, lus-
trous, wayy head Of hair in a short
time. No matter how dull and lifeless
the hair, the following dry shampoo
will soon work wonders if regularly
used: With ounces of powdered or
ris root, mix 2 ounces OF antiseptic
yilane powder Keep in tight jar or
box at night and apply tablespoon
full distributing it through the hair
with the fingers. In the morning use
comb and brush to remove, and all ex-
cess oil, dirt, dandruff, etc, will be
removed with 1t. Men and women
both use it with the utmost satisfac-
ton Obtain the ingredients of any

There are long names and shor'
names some are longer than others
In the latter class comes properly
| the name Of woman who was ar
rested yesterday for bigamy in Day
| ton, o., on advice from Sheriff Joe
Lipps of Quincy. The handle by
which she Is entitled to go now is
Mrs. Lizzie Observation-Disclosures
Pate. Some big name, but withal not
out of proportion to the class of the
woman who bears it.
She is charged with having hus-
band for every name but Lizzie. I"
Miller is the first: he lives In Mus
catine, Ia. Maple was her second :;
he is resident of the Soldiers Home
of Quincy. Armstrong was the third,
and he also resided at that institution.
The last and most recently acquired
quarter is one Pate, resident of the
National Soldiers Home at Dayton, O.
The last three are former special
servants of Uncle Sam, but whether
Miller is just one of the many of that
name and without special distinction
remains to be seen.
Mrs. Lizzie M-N-A-P'S special weak
ness in love matters had some unus.
ual leaning toward the aged and ven
cradle war horses. The homes pro-
vided for these men furnished an es-
pecially rich field for her endeavor,
and she made the best of her oppor-
tunities.
She has welded the last three men
within the last month. Whether the
third had any visible cash is not yet
known, but Messrs. Armstrong and
Maple did have. They haven't any
now, they claim, for the missus took
what they had. they say, and it is
probably enjoying a large circulation
before this time. The class OF vet
Grams she choose was of the prosper

about as soon as the cash could be
tucked away safely in her - nit
ten.
She is said to be rather winsome
lass. not moro than 40 years old. and
OF decided tendencies toward buxom
ness. The first tip the officers got
that she had been trifiing came from
Mr.. Maple, who learned that his wife
of a few days had deserted him and
been married again to his Comrade-in-
Arms, Mr.. Armstrong. Before the
trap could be sprung, however she
had flown the coop.
Sheriff Lipps and his assistants got
busy and by little deduction decided
that Mrs. Miller was habitually on
the trai. of veterans. How we'll their
theory conformed to truth is shown
by the woman's arrest in Dayton yes

The angelic Little Eva, whose de.
