No Need to Have
SuperAuous Hairs
CThe Modern Beauty.)

In delatone a simply way has been
found to remove hairy growths from the
face, neck, or arms, and one application
usually is sufficient to permanently Danish
every trace of hair or fuzz.
This treatment consists In the applica-
tion of a paste made with water and a
little of the powdered delatone. After re-
naming on two or three minutes, rub II
on and wash the skin, and II will be
white, firm, and hairless. Druggists win
charge a dollar for an original ounce

cheaper than the electric needle ana no

Assumption Greys overwhelm Bur-
ton-SWartz

The speedy Assumption Greys, OF
Belle Alliance, administered a crush
ing defeat to the chesty Burton
Swartz aggregation at Cleveland
Park last Sunday afternoon, pillng
up runs to their opponents z
and playing rings around the lum-
bermen in every department OF the
pastime. The spicy contest was wit
messed by a crowd of from $50 to
500 enthusiastic fans and the root
ing throughout was extremely lively
The rivalry existing between the
two teams, while altogether friendly,
is very intense, and this spirit had
the effect of injecting added ginger
into the contest and making 1t one
of the best-played and most inter-
esting which has been pulled off on
the local diamond in many day
Estopinal, slab artist for the Greys,
as well as Boote, the Burton rifle
man, pitched effective ball and used
considerable judgment at critical
stages of the game. Vegas, who Of
ficiated behind the bat for the AS
symphonies, is splendid catcher.
He is quick in his movements, &C
curate in his throwing to bases, and
knows how to connect with the
sphere Wallace Prejean, the old re-
liable, held down second base for
the Greys in great style, while
Robert, his brother, who performed
at short, covered that position in
most creditable manner.
The Burton team put up good
game, but was unsteady in the
pinches, at least three of the Greys'
runs being directly due to unpardon-
able hobbies perpetrated by the
umbermen at crucial moments.
Tomorrow afternoon the Greys
will line up against the Whitecastle
team at Cleveland Park, and in view
of the fine exhibition offered the
fans at last Sundays matinee it is
anticipated that an even larger
crowd will be out to witness tomor-
rows contest, which promises to be-
every bit as spicy and interesting.
In the early part of the season the
Greys were defeated by the White
castilians, but the down-the- bayou
boys have rounded into form since
that engagement and expect to re-
trieve their lost laurels in tomor-
rows mix-up. Roberts and Rybiski
will constitute the battery for the
while Estopinal, Vegas
and Dugas will officiate for the
Greys.

Sewerage Proposition Discussed.

A joint meeting of the city coun-
Gill; Woman's Civic League and board
of directors of the Progressive Union
was held at Red Men Hall at 8
o'clock Tuesday night, for the pur-
pose Of discussing the proposition to
construct a modern sewerage sys-
tenn. Mayor Charles Maurin pre-
sided, and quite a number of influ-
entail and progressive citizens were
present. The urgent need of a sew
erage system was pointed out and
it was the consensus of opinion that
the proposed improvement is a most
important one and should be Sc
cured at the earliest possible mo-
ment, but the question of providing
the necessary funds to undertake the
work is one which is not easy of
solution. After full and free dis
cussion of the subject, Mayor Maui
rim appointed Messrs. Adolphe Net
ter, Alex. Bloomenstiel, w. y. Lee
Blanc and Walter Lemann as
committee to look into the matter
and devise ways and means to
bring about the accomplishment of
the project.

ASs 7.I7 -
New School District Projected

The patrons of the Dutchtown high
school have drawn up petition to
be presented to the police jury at
its next meeting, asking that a school
district be created to comprise the
territory contiguous to that institu-
ton within a radius of approximately
three and a half miles on all sides,
and also that special election be
called for the purpose Of ascertain
ing the sense of the property owners
OF the district relative to a PROPOSE
ton to vote a special tax for school
purposes. It. is proposed to levy a
special ten-mil1 tax for five years
and five-mill tax for ten years.
the proceeds of the first levy,
amounting to approximately $4,000.
to be used in erecting new school
house at DutchtoWn, and the revenue
derived from the five-mill tax to- be
expended for general school pur
poses.
Assessor A. Killing, who is a.
resident of DugstssHI tteWn, is one of the
most enthusiastic advocates of the
tax project and has taken a leading
part in the movement looking to the
adoption of the proposition. Mr..
king has prepared a map showing
succinctly the territory it is pro-
posed to incorporate within the
school district together with the
names of the individual property
owners residing therein, the amounts
of their assessments and other data,
all of which will be submitted to
the police jury at its next meeting.

RECIPROCITY NOW DEPENDS ON
GAMBIA.

Whether the reciprocity pact be
tween the United States and Can
ada becomes a finality Or not is
a question that is now ''up to- the
latter country. The congress of the
United States has approved the
measure and President Taft has
signed it, hence there is nothing
else required to be done on this
side of the line to make the agree
ment for freer trade effective.
Although popular sentiment in
Canada is believed to be very large
ly in favor of reciprocity, an OBJ
structive element in the Canadian
parliament manifested a disposition
to fight the measure and either
to defeat it or delay its final
consideration as long as possible.
Prime Minister Laurier, who is as
warmly in favor OF the pact as is
President Taft, promptly dissolved
parliament when this disposition be-
came manifest, and elections for a
new body are to be held within the
next sixty days.
Reciprocity will be the issue in
these elections and Prime Minister
Laurier and his associates in the
Canadian cabinet are confident that
the results will show the return OF
a decisive majority Of members fay
orable to the speedy ratification Of
the agreement negotiated by the
heads of the two governments and
formally enacted by the
United States.
