"a persons were fatally injured by explo-
sives, as against IS the year previous. The
number of fatalities in 1909 was "A. The
injuries reported were sS1 in 1911, l,lSo
in 1910 and 1851 in 1909. The 1911 fire
loss was S344, $50. 1t was $591,s15 in
1910 and S724 $40 in 1909. In upwards
of so cities where fireworks were either
prohibited or allowed under restrictions
there were no deaths and accidents were
reduced to an inconsiderate number. People
have learned that the birthday OF the
nation can be observed in a rational way,
and that destruction of life and property
are not essential to display patriotism.

New Remedy That Removes Freckles
or Costs Nothing.

Here's a chance. Miss Freckle-Faeee,
to try new remedy for freckles with
the guarantee of a reliable dealer that
it win not cost you penny. unless it
removes the freckles, while if it does
give you a clear complexion, the ex-
pense is trifling.
Simply get an ounce of othine, double
strength, from Wilfred F.. Root and one
nights treatment will show you how
easy it is to rid yourself forever OF the
complexion. Rarely is more than an
ounce needed for the worst case.
Be sure to ask Wilfred F. Root for
the double strength othine, as this is
the only prescription sold under guar
antee of money back if it fails to re-
move freckles.

Some of the state papers are getting after
Senator Dillingham; because of the fact
that he is paired on every question OF
importance. The Burlington News says
that he has registered no vote in the senate
since the beginning of Senator Tillman's
illness more than two years ago, and point
edly adds that a photograph could have
done as much. The Reformer's belief in
the value of Senator Dillingham's public
service was shaken some time ago, and no
recent happening has caused us to change
our opinion. His silence on reciprocity,
however, does not mean that he attempted
