today looking for them, says that he
knows of no reason for his boys act,
save that the younger one was un-
able to keep up in his studies, and
was keenly disappointed when re-

Now, as matter of fact, more wo-

prove them with cosmetics, The
practice certainly is unnecessary,
now that the virtues Of ordinary
mercolized wax as a beautifier have
become known, 1t has been found
that the mercolide in the wax has
wonderful absorbent powers. 1t
causes the faded or discolored scarf
skin to flake OF in minute, almost
impereeptible particles, so gently,
gradually, as to cause no inconven-
ience at all In this way the old
complexion is actually removed
likewise all fine lines, pimples
blotches, moth patches and other
surface defects. A new complexion
appears-a clear, smooth, youthful,
healthy-hued skin such as no paint,
powder or lotion can produce. Mer-
colized wax, to be had at any drug
store, is applied like cold cream.

AUTOMATIC
SPRINKLER
is DELAYED

After waiting for four months, and
during that time being led to believe
that an automatic sprinkler system
ordered for the asylum was en- route
here, DR.. Steiner, superintendent OF
the institution yesterday was advised
by the head Office Of the Automatic
sprinkling company, at New York,
that the order had been received, and
that 1t would be given attention.
The system was purchased for fire
protection for the asylum and the
asylum farm, and involves an expen-
dlture of some $4,000. The COM
pany gave a bond to deliver the sys-
tenn at once, and yesterday is the first
time the board has succeeded in
learning the true status of the affair;
the branch Office of the company, at
Konsas City, representing hret0Role
that the system wac en- route.
The state board at its next meet
ing, will take action with relation to
the matter, and may declare the bond
forfeited, and proceed to collect it.

to st. Paul, Travelled 1900 miles and
nearly million persons entered them to
behold the wonderful things grown in
the Northwest and listen to the lecturer

The Great Northern Ry., following the
leadership of Jas. j. Hill, who is deeply
interested in the agricultural develop
ment of the Northwest, now is conduct
ing experimental farms, where their ex-
perts teach the settlers the best and most
scientific methods of farming.
Pupils of public schools, throughout the
eastern states especially, were daily
visitors in the exhibition cars and the
children learned much from the lectures
on the science of tilling the soil to bring
forth natures best efforts.
