advantages Of the best of toilet soaps.
1t is also invaluable in keeping the
hands soft and white, the hair live
and glossy, and the scalp free from
dandruff and irritation,
While its first cost Is a few cents
more than that of ordinary toilet
soaps, it is prepared with such care
and of such materials, that it wears

cakes Of other soap, and making its
use, In practice, most economical.
Cuticura Soap is sold by druggists and
dealers everywhere, but the truth of
these claims may be demonstrated
without cost by sending to "Cuticura,"

Don't Forget Date.
Saturday, May 13. Will be BOOs'
ter Day in Baxter Springs.

Saturday, May 13, will be
Booster Day in Baxter Springs,
and the way we understand the
program of events to take place
is that every up-to-date merchant
in Baxter Springs is going to
make leaders for the day. AS
we understand it, one merchant
will make a leader of some ar
ticle and some other merchant a
leader of some other article, and
so on down the line. In this
way it will be possible for the
merchants to get the business
distributed around over town,
and all do a big business, and at
the same time give genuine bar
gains. And bargains are what
the ordinary man or woman is
hunting in this day and age.
Booster Days in Baxter Springs
are good for various things. One
of the most pleasing things about
a Booster Day is that it brings
a big lot of people together, and
makes a sort of reunion for them.
They have a chance to meet new
people, renew old acquaintance,
and have a general social and
good time.
We trust there will be a big
lot of live stock and other prop
erty brought in on that day.
The crowd will be very large if
the weather 10 good, and the SER
vices OF auctioneers will be pro-
vided free of charge. 1t will not
cost the owner of the property
offered for sale anything for ad-
vertising or selling.
On the back page of this paper
will be found a list of the prizes
10 be given away, and it costs
you nothing to get a chance on
them.
Don't forget the date. Come
to Baxter Springs on Saturday, |
