Of WORKS
IN SESSION TODAY
Takes Time by FOrelOck to At
tend Rivers and HarbOrs
Congress.

The regular meeting of the Board
of Works was held this mornin, be-
cause the c n~nissioners left today to
attend the Rivers and Harbors Con-
gress in Washington.
Meyer Zemel appearing for his
father, Nathan Zemel, objected to the
intention of the board to open Ward
street from Market 10 Cherry street,
He declared that the bridge over the
Morris canal would make the grade
too steeep and too dangerous.
Mr.. Sherrerd informed him that at
the present time the board intended
to open the street. only from Market
to South Canal street, and in the event
If the abandonment of the Morris
canal a street level bridge would be
constructed. This explanation seemed
satisfactory TO Mr. Zemel, but he de
elared he would make a written pro-
test just the same.
a communication was received from
the Central railroad stating that it in
tends raising its bridge across the Pas
sale twenty-five feet, and would, there
fore, have to raise its roadbed to that
elevation. Also. that it will be neces-
sary to build bridges over Plum Point
lane or Avenue r, or any other two
streets designated by the board. The
work will be done at the expense of
the company. The commissioners de-
cided to make an inspection of the
places mentioned.
a request to build a tunnel from the
new 10 the old building was received
from the contractors who are erect
ing Bamberser's new building.
The board declared that it could give
no permission for this and that if the
tunnel was built il would be done at
the risk of the contractors. 1T seems
that the old building viii be used by
the company after the new one is
finished.

Santa is too busy and won't be able to

But please remember that there are

PUSH MAN TRAIN.

One of the quaintest sights in
Japan is the "push man train" a
little railway which runs for 10
miles along the seacoast between
Atami and odawara, taking four
hours to complete the journey.
Each car is hauled and pushed up
hill by coolies and then allowed to
run down the next incline by its own
momentum, the coolies jumping on
behind. When striking precipices
and rounding sharp curves this be-
comes somewhat exciting, the sensa-
ton is rather like being in a run
away switchback car.

Mixed Farming.

If there is any one thing that
seems to point to a brighter fu-
ture in Kansas agriculture more
than any other, it lies in the
fact that our farmers are recover
ing from their wheat madness"
their single crop system OF
farming-and are studying and
practicing rotation more and
more each year.
The farmer who puts all OF
his eggs in one basket by con-
tinuous wheat cropping, is COM
polling himself to labor very
hard for a short period of the
year and loaf for the balance.
He is not able to occupy his full
time and energies in his business,
and this causes distinct and
heavy loss. Then, if the season
should prove unfavorable, he has
nothing to fall back upon, as he
would have in diversified farm
ing, and he suffers or gets out of
the game.
If the season is only partly
favorable and his grain sprouts
in the shock or its quality is
otherwise injured, he can, per-
haps, get a good price for the
sound wheat, but what shall he
do with that which is injured?
1t might be valuable for feed,
but to what can he feed it? He
has no live stock except his work
teams, and feeding does not en-
ter into his scheme of things.
Perhaps the worst feature OF
the whole single cropping sys-
tenn is that the grain farmers is,
each year, hauling away his
farm by the wagonload and SELL
ing it by the bushel. No soil
can stand con slant cropping with
no enrichment, and the wheat
farmer-and this applies to the
corn farmer-has nothing with

Tanning Skins.

Many a boy who has been sue
cessful with trap or gun would
be glad to save some of the fur
skins secured as a souvenir or
for some purpose, such as maxi
ing lap robes, rugs, etc. He is
quite often prevented from doing
this because of the expense when
the work is done by a skilled tan"
ner or else by the lack of know
ledge of how to do it himself,
says Kansas Farmer.
There are several processes by
which hides may be tanned with
the fur on, but the following is
about as cheap and handy as any.
Wash the hide in warm water,
remove all flesh matter from the
inner surface and loose dirt from
the hair side. Now wash in
strong, rather warm soapsuds.
The old-fashioued soft soap made
from wood ashes is best. Either

of hot water. When sufficiently

A BaId.Headed Woman.
Shorn Of Her Crown Of Beauty,
Losses in Love and Marriage.

Hair is certainly most neces-
sary to woman. Who could love
and marry a bald-headed woman?
What charms could one array to
offset such a Disagreement?
A woman's goal is usually love
and marriage. Her browning
glory is her hair. The loss of
her hair mars her beauty, hap
piness, and success. Yet, right
here in Baxter Springs, there
are thousands of women who are
neglecting or injuring their hair
to such an extent that it is only
a matter of time when it will be
utterly ruined.
Many women destroy the
beauty of their hair through
thoughtlessness or ignorance of
certain facts. They use curling
irons over-heated, or to excess,
which destroys the natural oil OF
the hair, causing it to split,
break, and come out. They do
not shampoo their hair often
enough, or too often. They use
soaps or preparations which con-
tain ingredients positively harm
full to the scalp and hair.
AS a result of such treatment,
dandruff is created, the hair
loosens, loses color, falls out, and
badness commences, unless prop
err and prompt precautions are
taken in time. Then again, nil
crobes and certain diseases bring
about unhealthy scalp and hair
conditions.
Almost any woman may rid
herself of dandruff and diseased
scalp and hair if she viii but use
the right remedy. We have that
remedy, and we will positively
guarantee that it will either cure
daudruff and badness or it will
not cost the user anything.
That's a pretty broad state
ment, but we will back it and
prove it with our own money.
We will return your money if
you do not find that Rexall "93"
Hair Tonic is an entirely satis-
factory remedy that will promote
hair growth and overcome scalp
and hair troubles; that it will
grow hair even on bald heads,
unless all life in the hair roots
has been extinguished, the folli-
cles closed, and the scalp is
glazed and shiny. 1t gets its
name from the fact that it grew
hair in SO out of 100 cases, where
it received a thoroughly hard,
impartial, and practical test.
We want you to try Rexall
''93" Hair Tonic at our risk.
You surely cannot lose anything
by doing so, while you have
everything to gain. You had
better think this over, and then
come in and see US about this
offer. You will be well repaid
for your visit to our store. Re-
member, you can get Rexall Rem
edies in this community only at
