Wrinkleless Skin
Now Easy to Have
(From Family Physician.o

There's no excuse for any woman
having wrinkles now. 1t has been
found that simple mixture of saxo-
lite and witch hazel has remarkable
action upon the deepest wrinkles, no
matter what their nature, whether
caused by worry, habitual frowning,
a debilitated condition or the ravages
Of Father Time. This harmless rem
edy, which anyone can easily make
and use at home, acts both as an as
tringent and tonic. The combined
effect of tightening the skin and
heightening its vitality is to imme-
diately affect every line and wrinkle,
keeping the cuticle smooth and firm
as in youth.
The proportions are one ounce sax.
olite (powdered) to one-half pint of
witch hazel. The solution should be
used as wash lotion. 1t is equally eff.
fective in disposing of flabbiness of
cheek and neck, as well as sagging
below the eyes.

WILL GET ANOTHER
FACTORY LOCATION
Ohio Paper Takes Notice of the Con-
troversy Between Local Plant
and Water Power Co.

The Mills Ellsworth Co. and the
Water Power Co. have not reached an
understanding in regard to the dispo-
sition to be made of the factory build
ing located along the canal, SO far as
local information is concerned. Wheth-
er it is to be moved or raised or pro-
tected by sea wall, is not known, but
the following from the Mansfield, (Oo
News of July 81, which paper is pub
lished in the home city of the con-
trolling stockholders, indicates that
the factory will secure another loca-
ton in a different part of the city.
The Mansfield News says:
Henry Krause, w. L. Leonard and
Fred Bushnell have returned from
Keokuk, Ia, where they have been to
confer with the manager of the Mills
Ellsworth company in which they are
interested, in regard to new loca,
ton. The moving of the plant is ne
cessitated by the building of huge
dam across the Mississippi river at
1 that point. When the dam is compile
ted the ground on which the Mills
Ellsworth company's plant is situated
will be flooded as the water in the
river will be raised several feet by
the dam. The company will locate its
plant in another part of the city OF
Keokuk The dam Is being construct
ed for furnishing power for electric
power to several cities. When com
pleted it will be the second largest
! dam in the world.

Improved River Front.

Keokuk citizens may be asked in
the near future to vote for $4,000
bond issue to finance the building of
a retaining wall along the river front
and other improvements for the gem
eral Identification of Keokuk's har-
Dor. The city commission has been
discussing the matter of late and
tentative plans have been worked
out. The idea is to establish a har-
Dor line for quite distance along the
mississippi and to carry out extensive
improvements suggested. The matter
of a roadway leading to the govern
ment lock, which will likely be built
on the river side of the Chicago, Bur-
lington and Quincy tracks is also be-
ing included in the general plans.

for beautifed river front for many
years and it is likely that the dream
will soon be realized

NEWS FROM THE LA PLATAs.

1t is common talk around the camp
that the Cumberland mine will soon
start working with big force of men.
Messrs. Clark and Rogers, two of the
lessees, are expected TO reahc Du-
range some time this week on their
way to the mine.
James Doyle expects to open up the
Columbus mine, which he owns on
Lewis mountain, not far from the
Cumberland, this season. Mr. Doyle
says he is finishing up certain matters
so as to get away long enough from
East Mancos to get things started at
the Columbus. This property has not
been worked for several seasons and it
is gratifying to see so many of the
mines that have been idle opened up
again.
l., P, Rudolph is still pounding away
steadily Mt the Delta-Ncwcastle and
Lucky Four groups. In the latter he
is driving an upraise, and has en-
countered some very nice ore, which
locks good and promises some pretty
fine returns in the near future.
Bob Watkins has taken bond and
lease on the Williams claims in Big
Deadwood gulch and has already made
his camp at the mine, and commenced
work. Mr.. Watkins says that sam
pies taken from the surface in the
ole workings, run from Sc to $40 per
ten. That being the case the PROPOSE
ton should be fine one.
The Omaha Copper Mining company
are doing considerable work on their
properties. 1t is said they are ask
ing for bids for the construction of
tram from the mine to the wagon
road. They will put in treatment
mill to handle their ores, and may
decide to commence building right
away.
The hills are covered with pros
pectors, and this season is expected
to be one of the best in the history
of the camp.

IN THE SAN JUAN.

Colorado is big state. 1t is 451
miles by rail from Denver % Durango.
That is almost as far as 1t is from
Chicago TO Omaha.
It is a rare event when large
number of Chicago business men trav-
cling together get as far west as
Omaha. That city seems 10 them
long way off, and so it is, The faoi
li1at Durango and Denver belong t.
the same state makes a difference.
But still, when the distance to he
covered is considered, it Is rot 50 very
surprising that as rule Denver bust
ness men do not visit Durango and
the wonderful San Juan reei,'n, upon
the edge of which it stands, as often
as they would like.
1t would, however, be good for Den
yer people if they went to Durango
more frequently. 1t is said that he
who has never been in Che San Juan
does not know what Colorado scenery
is. of course, this way of putting it
is little extravagant, for several
other parts Of the state have scenic
wonders not to be treated with indif-
ference. Nevertheless, i! is in the San
Juan country especially that the
mountains seem not at all afraid to
hold up their heads, They do it, any
how, and they are wondrous tall.
1t is by no means scenery alone of
which the San Juan can boast. Its
mineral wealth commands admiration
with no less force and power, and
the chamber Of commerce men now
making n delightful tour through that
art of the state are opening their
eyes at the evidence of agricultural
development. They are finding that
within itself the San Juan has nearly
everything to make it self-supporting
as well as prosperous. 1t makes a
Colorado man proud to think that this
rich country is part of his state. 1t
first attracted attention by its great
wealth in silver and gold 1t has prof
tied much by the visits of tourists
drawn to it by its scenic attractions.
But it's real strength is in its coal
and in the agriculture Of the larger

In recent editorial on the dog, the
Topeka Capital has the following salu-
tary suggestions: Our notion is that
the best way to prevent rabies in n
dog is not to have dog, Few people
in towns and cities have any business
keeping a dog. If you are fair to the
dog you are not fair to your neigh
bors, and if you are fair to your neigh
hors you are not fair to the dog. We
have strong liking for "A fine dog,
but the fact remains almost any dog
in town is considerable Of n nuisance.
If you keep him shut up all the time
he naturally gets sore on the world,
and in time gets to the point whore
in order to avenge himself for the
wrongs done him by society he tries
to bite a chunk out of the limb of the
stranger within your gates. If you
turn him loose he is apt TO become a
town loafer, just like man who is
turned loose without any useful work
10 do. Out in the country n good
dog more than earns his keep. He
is the guardian of the premises and
of great assistance in caring for the
stock. The country is the dogs proper
