Scientific Wrinkle
Remover Easily Made

(From Ladies' Fav> rite Magazine.)
A few dermatologists have long held
the secret that certain product,
known to the drug trade as saxolite,
mad the property when used in solu-
ton, of instantly reducing wrinkles.
Any one can readily make this same
solution by dissolving an ounce Of
powdered saxolite in half pint Of
witch hazel Battle the face in this
and note the immediate TRANSFORMED
ton! The skin tightens, becomes
firmer-deepest wrinkles at once be-
gin to smooth out This action will of
course also reduce hanging cheeks OF
double chin.
When the hands show signs Of as-
ing, the skin becoming coarse, creased
or fiabby, battle them in the solution.
Since the recent publication of this
formula, men and women all over the
country have taken advantage of the
information, according to reports, with
most satisfactory results.

A special from Davenport, Iowa,
says the people of that city are wild
with excitement over number OF
wonderful cures OF certain chronic
diseases that have been treated re-
Gently with a strange new liquid, the
discovery OF an old scientist who
claims to have spent the best years
OF his life and many hundreds OF dol
lars in perfecting 1t.
A number of people who are known
to have suffered for years with
chronic ailments have been restored
to health after using the discovery
and some truly remarkable cures
have been reported from reliable
sources In fact people in every Walk
of life have become intensely inter
ested and much talk has been Gre
ated.
The new liquid is said to be com
posed chiefly of collection OF vege.
table growths such as roots and herps
soaked by a peculiar secret process
in water heated to an intense degree
and owing perhaps to the nature OF
its ingredients, is called Root JUICE.
According to some of those VINO
have used it, the action OF the medi'
cine seems almost miraculous ana
several who have been cured py II
say the energizing effects OF a single
swallow could be noticed almost In
simultaneously.
This, however, does not seem true
In every case for others VINO nave
used 1t successfully say that no i'm,
provement WAS noticed until seVeral
doses had been taken.
1t seems that the juice mas peen
used successfully in the treatment OF
almost all disorders of the stomach
liver. kidneys and bowels and 1t is
said that it's soothing and healing ac
ton upon the digestive and secretory
organs is so rap,d that even the
worst cases of Indigestion, constipa
ton. nervousness, backache and
rheumatism are perceptibly benefited
from the start.
Many persons who said they had
lost hopes of ever seeing another well
day have since reported complete
cures.
The writer has interviewed no less
than forty persons who have been
using the new treatment and in al
most every case heard of remarkable
results.

Public Safety Department of City,
Seeking to consummate Arrange
ments With Bell Phone
Company.
PRESENT SYSTEM UNFIT
Hundreds Of Calls Received Over
Wires at Exchange at Time Of
Fires, Cause Inconvenl-
ence All Around.

A combination fire and police tele-
phone system that will eliminate try
ing delays in performing important
call functions for these two depart
ments, is being contemplated by the
department of public safety and will
no doubt be practised should officials
cf the Iowa telephone company con-
sont to the arrangement in view.
The public may not generally under
stand but the simple ringing of the
fire bells in the city station necessi-
tates a furry at the switch boards in
the telephone offices that cannot be
comprehended unless seen. Hundreds
OF lights flash within a minute after
the bells have run the fire ward, and
this causes an uncomfortable delay
in calling city employees connected
with the fire and police departments.
With the view Of establishing a
"city board" in the Bell telephone
tors to handle lines paid for by the
city, exclusively, Commissioner of the
Public Safety Department T. p. GrGg
has written G. e. Hall, general com
mercial superintendent OF the Bed
system at Omaha and Jas. B. Mason,
secretary and treasurer of the COM
pany at Des Moines, asking their opin-
ions and consent to install such board
for the city employees private use.
The letters were written yesterday
and it will probably be several days
before replies are received from the
telephone authorities.

ed an invitation to all those present
at the happy event last night to be
present at the future sociable.
The program given last night was
very pleasing one, those taking part
in its rendition proving artists in
their lines and the reception Of much
encoring forced each to respond.

given consisted Of the following Sc

pleasure in this amusement, the Agne

Operators Under Bell Discipline.

If the arrangement for a private
city board can be made, the operators
employed to care for this board would
be under Bell telephone office juris
diction, the same as the operators on
the other boards of the exchange. II
is presumed that the expense incurred
bv the employment Of these several
extra operators would be borne by
both the city and the telephone of

ment will probably be made.

Would Aid Police Service.

Aside from aiding the operators en-
ployed by the city, in calling the min
ute men OF the fire department and
others who use the lines in time of
fire or other department calls, the
police phones would be connected with
the board, pursuing plans now crea-
ted. The officers have nineteen bust
ness district or beat, phones from
which they call the police station
each half hour Of the day or night.
The city commissioners realize that
this work is somewhat of an imposi-
ton on the telephone gl-is, although
faithfully performed by the young
women, since commencement OF the
service some months ago.
The employment of three operators,
to work eight hour shifts each, would
relieve the other operators both in
connecting for fire and police calls
and informing the departments en-
loyed persons of fire or officers sum-
mons.

With the present system in use for
calling firemen when general alarm
