A Touch Of Winter

Nearly a score Of deaths. several
million dollars property loss and
much suffering resulted from the
violent change Of temperature, the
preceding storms and the succeed
ing cold and snow that beset the
central portion of the country Sat
urday and Sunday morning. After
an unusually warm November day,
tornado storms did much damage
In Wisconsin and Illinois, killed q
dozen persons and injured more
than score.
A cold wave almost Immediately
rolled over the wreckage Of the tor
nado and extended in a few hours to
the gulf coast and to the Atlantic
seaboard.
Rain turned to sleet, swapping
telegraph and telephone wires, and
snow followed.
Several persons were frozen to
death by the sudden cold, shipping
on the great lakes was damaged,
and boats cast adrift.
The poor in large cities suffered
severely.
But little damage, inconvenience
or suffering was caused by the
storm in San Juan county. The
wood piles are still large, and suffi-
cient to meet most any emergency
of climate. Some weather was also
experienced here Tuesday morning.
A southwest gale, veering to north
west shook things up a bit, and
made navigation disagreable. The
Islander arrived ahead of time di-
rect from Anacortes Tuesday morn
ing, being unable to make some of
her landings.

lighting Plant to be Provided.
Council Unanimously in IA
or of improvements.

The town council held real meet
ing Tuesday night. All the menu
bers were present. also quite dele
cation Of interested citizens. The
councilmen expressed themselves
unanimously in favor Of a water
supply from Sportsman's lake, and q
sewerage system adequate to the
needs of the community.
Councilman Capron introduced an
ordinance providing for a bond
election to raise the sum needed for
q water supply and sewers. The or
dinance was read and ordered print
ed. It is proposed to raise the sum
of $500, of which the sum Of
$4,000 is deemed sufficient for the
water supply. The balance will
provide the sewers.
A local man who is well able to
carry out his contracts, will guaran-
tee to supply the water for that
amount.
Twenty year bonds at AZ per cent.
are to be issued. The special elec-
tion to vote on the bonds will prob
ably be held in January.
The mayor was empowered to Sc

Gineer to report on elevations, etc.

w. Frits. judges of the town elec-
ton.
A mass meeting was appointed to
be held at the court house on Tues
day evening, Nov. II for the nomin-
alton of town officers.
For the past four months the ISL
ander has labored industriously to
arouse the community to some con-
ception of the conditions existing
here, and the necessity for doing
something toward supplying the
public utilities. without which there
can be no progress. This indiffer-
ence, it seemed impossible to over
come. But the council and citizens
now seem to be awake, and unani-
mously in favor Of a water supply,
sewers and lighting. They will un-
doubtedly succeed. It is only me-
cessary to pull; together. Friday
Harbor may be made model town.
There are plenty of undeveloped re-
sources to contribute to its growth.

How Nature Makes
New Compilations

(From The Family Physician

(From The Family Physician.)
1t is we'll known that the human
skin is constantly undergoing a tear
ing down and building up process.
With advancing years or waning
vitality this tissue-change lags; the
lifeless, soiled surface skin stays on
SO long that its owner gets a poor
complexion"
Common sense tells US this dead
skin cannot be enlivened or beautified
by any cosmetic, lotion or powder.
The natural thing to do is to remove
the offensive skin-remove the bad
complexion. It has been found that
ordinary mercolized wax completely
absorbs the devitalized skin, in
minute particles, SO gently, gradually,
as to AUS no Inconvenience. Mer-
colized wax, which any druggist ian
supply. is put on at night like cold
cream, only not rubbed in, and wash
ed of in the morning. If you would
have a brilliantly beautiful complex
ion. just use this simple treatment.

Flabbiness of cheeks. chin or neck
has been considered very difficult to
correct, until the recent discovery OF
a veritable wonder-worker for such
conditions. The preparation Is 60
simple and harmless any woman can
easily make and apply it. 1t Is all
the more remarkable in that its bene-
fetal effects are apparent even after
the first application. both as to ap-
~pearances and the feeling of comfort
produced.
The formula is: Powdered saxolite,
/ o., dissolved in 1 pit. witch hazel
Use daily as a wash lotion. The solu-
ton tends to contract and solidify
the loosened, baggy tissue, smoothing
out the folds, creases and wrinkles,
besides having a refining influence on
skin of coarse texture and large
pores. AS witch hazel and saxolite
can be had at any drugstore at little
cost, many will doubtless be glad to
have this successful recipe.
