A S44. 900 FIRE IN FRANKFORT.
Store of the Frankfort Supply Co. and Res
idence of E. P. Treat, ESQ.,, Burned.


Fire broke out about 1.30 a. M, May 22d, in
the large frame building in Frankfort owned
by the Frankfort Supply Co., and heavily
stocked with merchandise The building was
a mass of flames in few minutes. The in
tense heat set fire to the residence of Edward
Parker Treat across the street and the finest
residence in the village was soon blazing furi-
ously. Some of the furniture was saved in
damaged condition. The fire spread to Mr..
Treats office, which was partially burned and
the contents badly damaged.
Very fortunately there was no wind and a
spread which might have wiped out the entire
village was escaped Everything is very dry
and the town without fire protection except
bucket brigades. The townspeople worked like
beavers with the means at hand and were able
to confine the fire to the buildings mentioned.
The loss on the Supply Company's store is
set at $4,000, and on the stock at SIC, 1000, said
to be well covered by insurance. The princi-
pal owners are Hayward Pierce, Albert Pierce
and Noah Blethen. 1t is understood that they
will rebuild. Mr.. Treat estimates his loss at
$4,000, with an insurance of $4,000 The orr
gin of the fire is unknown. 1t appeared to
have started in the basement of the supply
store.

We We're glad to see that one of the
out -of-town correspondents made use of
the facts in the editorial and local col,
umns of The Journal last week concern
ing the present prosperity and promising
future of Belfast. 1t is good news to send
abr DAD and the more people it reaches
the better. Advertising pays-the city
as well as the corporation and the indi-
vidual-when the goods are behind it;
and Belfast, despite the efforts of a local
publication to bring discredit upon her
business and professional men and her
banking institutions, is Furnishing and
will continue to flourish.
A writer in the New York Tribune
Farmer sees in present low prices for
sheep opportunities for Eastern farmers
He says: The Eastern farmer need not
fear the reduction of wool tariff as much
as the Western sheep man. This re-
duction will drive out of business vast
droves Of sheep in the dry sections Of
the West, for there wool is the principal
source Of profit and cheap wool means
failure. This depletion of the focks of
the West would materially reduce the
amount of fat mutton which reaches the
market, and therefore farmers would re-
ceive more for the mutton they have"
The small farmer is said to be just the
farmer who is in a position to handle the
small fiocks most successfully, for he
can give it his personal attention, and as
the population increases there are more
mouths to buy for and more mutton will
be consumed. These suggestions are in
line with the practice in Great Britain,
where small focks are the rule, and NUT
tor staple article of food. Land not
otherwise utilized is devoted to pastur-
age for sheep, in numbers from half a
dozen up, and the aggregate contributes
very materially to the nation meat sup

FAN INvENTs 'RAGTIME DROP,
Mike Donlin Strikes Out -Four Times
at 1t.

New York, kDril 20-For once In the
history of baseball, a fan has come to
the front with a suggestion which Man
ager John ]. McGraw, of the New York
Nationals, believes will be of practical
use. A man named Wayburn, after
watching the game for many years, has
invented the ''rag-time drop" which he
maintains is virtually impossible to hit
except by mere chance.
Wayburn went up to the Polo grounds
for the practice period yesterday morn
ing and putting on glove and mask, in
structed "Rube" Vanguard in its use.
Mike Donlin, the .once-hard hitter, was
on hand also and Marquard using the
"rag-time' struck out the former cap
tain of the Giants four times.
According to Manager McGraw, Mar
guard is the only pitcher who will be
invested with the syncopated secret for
the present, and he is expecting to win
many a game with it before it becomes
common property.

Health and Beauty Notes
BY MRS. MAE MARTIN.

Mrs. Ruth O.: There can be no DOS
sible excuse for a woman of your age
neglecting her complexion. 1t is a duty
you owe yourself to look as youthful and
charming as possible. 1 would not en-
courage you to use face powder; it rubs
off too easily, shows too readily and does
no permanent good. The use of a good
lotion made by dissolving four ounces of
spurmax in half pint of hot water and
adding two teaspoonfu1s of glycerine will
take away that coarse, sallow, oily look
to your skin and make it soft, pink and
youthful. This lotion is an excellent
beautifier and whitener and will last
longer than powder. 1t is splendid for
cold sores, freckles, pimples and pre-
venting chapping in the winds.
Virginia: Lack of exercise and eating
too much solid food during the winter
months account for your sallow, pimply
complexion and loss of energy. What you
need is reliable system tonic and blood
purifier. Try this: Dissolve an ounce of
kardene in a half pint alcohol, adding
one-half cup sugar and hot water to make
a full quart. Take tablespoonful before
each meal and in short time you will
feel like new person. 1t will give you
rich, red blood, fill you with energy and
put the color and look of health into your
face.
Sibyl H: 1t is a shame for a girl of
your age to have wrinkles. Try this COM
plexion jelly and you will be surprised
how it will clear your skin and smooth
out those horrid wrinkles This grease
less cream jelly can be made by mixing
one ounce of almozoin with half pint cold
water and two teaspoonfuls of glycerine.
Stir and let stand over night. This makes
a splendid and inexpensive cream jelly.
1t will clean the pores, keep the skin free
from blackheads, and is splendid for
chapped hands and face. 1 find it excel
lent for reducing the size of large pores
in the skin, and for removing tan, freckles
and certain types of pimples. 1 recon-
mend it for massage purposes; it leaves
the skin soft and smooth and contains no
grease oil to cause hair to grow on
the face
Isabel R.: Don't be discouraged be-
cause your hair is dull, faded and streaky,
as you can restore it's youthful, glossy
blonde tint if you steep an ounce of mar
lax in pint of water. You should first
wash your head with canthrox, rince and
dry, then wash with the marlax tea,
rinse again and dry carefully. Do this
and at little cost and effort your hair can
be kept light, golden shade without the
least possible danger to hair or scalp.
Mrs. Edith: You can rid the chin OF
that fuzzy growth without resorting tC
the painful electric needle if you get from
your druggist an ounce of powdered della
tone and with a little water mix into a
stiff paste enough to cover the offending
hairs Spread on thickly and let remain
two or three minutes, then rub off and
wash the skin and you will find the hairs
are gone. While delatone is a trifle ex-

indeed, the store OF
daylight. No other
store in Topeka-and few
others in all the West-can
lay claim to having as many
large windows or as great
a window area as has the
Greater Mills Store, There
are more than 100 windows
admitting a veritable flood
of daylight to the five great
selling floors of this store.
The advantage of shopping
in such a well-lighted estab-

the opportunity of making
their selections under such
favorable conditions.
