Supercedes Massage
AS Wrinkle Remover
(The Woman Beautiful

Many women regularly visit the
beauty specialist to have their wrin-
kles ironed out with the help of hot
applications, cold creams and mas
sage. Most of us realize that there
comes a time when no amount of per
suasion of this sort will avail. This
process of wrinkle removing is
wrong in principle. Both the hot wa
ter and the massaging tend to expand
and loosen the skin. besides softening
the muscular foundation.
The very opposite result should be
aimed at The tissue should be
strengthened, the skin frightened, so
therelI be no room for wrinkles. The
best known preparation for the pur-
pose can be made at home by dissolv-
ing one ounce of saxolite in one-half
pint witch hazel Use as a wash To-
ton. The effect is really marvellous.
Tell the druggist you want the pow
dered saxolite. which dissolves i'm

The mountain scenery about the
sanatOrium proves a strong attrac-
ton to the average patient from the
prairie states and he quickly resolves
to see as much of it as possible. The
first ambition that comes to the new
conner is TO climb Mount Cedar,
which lifts its peak 5000 feet above
the sanatorium two miles to the west.
As a matter of fact. however, but
few ever top that eminence. After
one lies in his chair for a month and
sizes up the difficulties of the ascent
he loses the edge of his desire to
climb and when he begins to walk
and tackles the easy grades on the
roads and paths about the grounds
he usually decides that more mod
crate form of exercise viii do for
him. His human desire TO get up
where he can look down, as a rule,
carries him no further than the top
of Mount Rose, just south of the san
atorium. which is about two hundred
feet high. The lookout from here is
fine Though few climb Mount &C.
dar. the majority find their way,
sooner or later, to all of dozen or
more interesting spots within easy
walking distance of their tents.

when Assemblyman Frye made re-

Fighting the Test.

Waukesha dairymen last week took
a stand against the tuberculin test for
cattle that may carry the question into
the supreme court of the United States.
Within the past few weeks the vol
ume of criticism on what few years
ago was accepted as sure, safe and
reliable test for tuberculosis in cattle
has increased amazingly.
Reports of an Illinois legislative COM
mittee appointed to inquire into the
dairy cattle has added to the discus
sion.
Among Waukesha dairymen the sem
timent is that the tuberculin test is UNI
reliable and that the danger from boz
vine affection is so rare that there is no
justification in forcing the farmer to go
to all the trouble and expense connect
ed in complying with this ordinance.
They claim to have positive proof that
60 per cent of the cattle condemned
and killed because the tests indicated
that the cow was infected were fala-
cious. Upon post norton examination
no infection could be found.
In a nutshell the objection to the tu-
berculin test for dairy cattle is that it
is not test. Whether the reaction
which comes to the animal after the
test is applied is due to tuberculosis or
the tuberculin is question furnishing
heated statements from both sides.
That the test is altogether too unrell-
able to be of any practical use has been
the point made by DIRECTORS from the
very start of the crusade against dl-
seased cattle.

Celebrate Golden Wedding.

The home of Mr.. and Mrs. P. S. Al
version of Indian Ford was the scene OF
a rare and happy event on Monday,
Jan. 80, when this worthy couple cele-
brated the .fiftieth anniversary of their
wedding. Surrounded by brothers, Sis
tiers, children, grandchildren and few
invited guests, the occ asiOn was made
one of great pleasure to the venerable
couple as we'll as all others participant
ing. The event was planned and sue
cessfully carried out by their daughter,
Mrs. Lyman Wood of this city. Many
were the beautiful tokens of esteem
which found their way to the home
during the day, among them being $35
in gold. :. Mr.. Fred earle of GAINESVILLE,
an old and highly esteemed friend OF
Mr. and Mrs. Alverson, in behalf OF
those present, presented the gifts,
using words so beautiful and appropri-
ate that they deeply impressed all who
heard them. Numerous cOngratulatory
messages were received from absent
friends. At / O'Clock an elaborate
three-course dinner was served. The
entire company were served at one set
ting, and when they had all gathered
around the banquet board as one large
family, Mr.. Fred Carrie implored the
divine blessing. Around the festive
board all seemed to grow young again
and those present remarked with pleas
ure how kindly Father Time had dealt
with the bride and groom who for half
century had shared joys and sorrows.
Mr.. and Mrs. Alverson are both en-
joying good health for persons who
have passed two score and ten years OF
married life and were very bright and
happy on this memorable day. In 1861
this happy couple were joined in the
holy bonds of wedlock. Their union
was blessed with four children, three
of whom are alive and are solace and
comfort in the evening of life. A fam
lily group picture was taken during the
afternoon.
Those from out of town who partici-
pated in the celebration were Mr.. and
Mrs. Henry Heacock, ,,Winthrope, Iowa;
Mrs. Emma Trainer and son John of
Manly, Iowa; Mrs. Amelia Chase, Mrs.
Lizzie Chase, Miss Alice Chase, Mr..
and Mrs. George Chase, Mr.. and Mrs.
Fred earle, Mr.. and Mrs. Stewart AL
version and son Clifford, Janesville; Mr..
and Mrs. Ruel Alverson, Ernest Alver-
son, Mr.. and Mrs. David Alverson,

Southeast Fulton; Mr.. and Mrs. Frank
Hinkle and children of Indian Ford; Mr..
Alden Alverson and daughters Hazel
and Phoebe of Madison; Mr.. and Mrs:
Lyman Wood, Mrs. Maude Lackner and
Mrs. Frank Williams of Edgerton.
The happy hours passed away all too
soon, good-byes were said and the
guests departed for their respective
homes, but Mr.. and Mrs. Alverson, as
we'll as their guests, will long remem-
Der the day as one most pleasantly
spent.
