sanitary glazed paper in the form of
a carton. with the top equipped with
folding tabs which may be snapped
shut after the bag is filled with linen

erture in the front of the bag forms a
pocket for the laundry list and the
whole is as handy as a Jpocket in a
shirt No string. paper or cloth are
necessary when the wash is to be sent
out. The mouth of the bag is opened,
the soiled linen thrown into it, the
tabs folded and then sealed. It is
then ready for the laundry without
further trouble or delay, to say moth

FRECkLES
Don't Hide Them with n Veil; Remove
Them With the New Drug.

An eminent skin specialist recently
discovered a new drug, othine-double
strength which is so uniformly sue
cessful in removing freckles and giving
a clear beautiful complexion that it is
sold by Potter Drug Co. under an alb
solute guarantee TO refund the money
if it fails.
Don't hide your fFeckles under a veil;
get an ounce of othine and remove
them. Even the first nights use will
show a wonderful Improvement, some
of the lighter freckles vanishing en-
tirely. 1t is absolutely harmless, and
cannot injure the most tender skin.
Be sure to ask Potter Drug Co. for
the double strength othine; it is this
that is sold on the money back guaran-
tee.

The End of a Boss.

Edward Butler, the boodler and political boss who died in St, Louis recently, was striking example of that kind of men ir whom is combined the good anc bad traits of human nature. He was loyal to his friends, gener- ous to the poor, and his word was always as good as his bond, On the other hand there was nothing at which he would stop to further any end he might have in view. He looked upon politics as a game in which it was proper to use any method that might be necessary to in- sure success.
 He made no deal directly with the dirty creatures who did his work but he had trusty agents who did his work for him. He would not admit that politics of that sort was disreputable and could never be made to under- stand why people should see anything disreputable in such practices. He began life as a blacksmith, working for daily wages and died worth S3,000,000 much of which was secured through deals in affairs with which politics was connected.
 Butler was caught in the net which Joe Folk threw into the foul sea of St. Louis politics, and was convicted. One of those le-
 commodities through which so many have escaped justice kept him from ending his days in the penitentiary. After the dismissal of the charge against him, he retired from public life, and was heard of no more ex- cept upon occasions when his

The County Endangered.

Mr.. Baker describes graphically
the attempts to bring about better
conditions in Ohio, and how the peo-
pie of the state finally decided to think
in county units; how 81 of the IS
counties voted dry" One of these
counties was Licking county. OF which
the city of Newark was the county
seat. Although Licking county as d
whole went dry" byI7O0 majorit:', the
city of Newark went wet" by 1900.
Newark said TO the county: What
right have you to shut our saloons: >"
and the county replied that its people
went to Newark to trade and helped
support the saloons. and that its boys
were endangered By the liquor traffic
and the vices clustered around 1t. The
county also answered that its peopl,
helped to pay for the poorhouses, asy-
lums and jails, which were being filled
BY the saloons, and therefore it was
part of it's business to close the sa
looms of Newark.
