BEGINNING THE
BIG SERIAL

THERE is hardly hint Of THE LOST
WORLD in the opening nstalment OF
the greatest novel OF adventure that has been
written in years, which begins in this number
OF our SUNDAY MAGAZINE 1t starts quietly.
as most big things do start; but YOU feel the
import OF thrilling events to come.
In this beginning the author, Sir Arthur
Conan Doyle. manifests his great literary
skill. He carries you along with a sense of
reality. Chiefly you become thoroughly &C
quainted with Malone, the newspaper
porter, who tells the story and IS a very i'm
portant actor in it. 1t is a wonderfully eff
fective background that the novelist gives.
There is action enough in the second in
stalment. which appears next week. Then
comes the formal introduction to Professor
Challenger As matter of fact, it isn't
formal at all: it is too extraordinary and ex-
citing even to suggest formality. You know,
perhaps, that the illustration on the cover OF
this number is a portrait of the great scientist
who is the chief character of the tale He is
even more remarkable JflaIl ne lOokS- Never
was hero presented in such amazing fashion
as is this man. There is fight between him
and Malone-a physical fight. mind you-
that is about as exciting as anything YOU ever
read If YOU are familiar with Rodney
Stone" which Conan Doyle wrote several
years ago. you know he is an authority on
physical combat.
Sherlock Holmes is no more distinctive,
more individual, no more fascinating, than
Professor Challenger. And the great de-
tective doesn't begin to be so human as the
great scientist Certainly the former never
had such thrilling adventures.
But You will have to wait until next week
really to know Challenger, and little later
before the other members Of the expedition
appear upon the scene. And, no matter how
much YOU expect OF them, you will not be dis
appointed. That's the kind OF men they are.
And YOU will have about all the excitement
YOU can stand before you through with
the tale.
OF course the great adventure serial will
dominate our next number; but you will find
in it other things you will be glad to read.
Altogether, it is pretty fine.

TO THE STAGESTRUCK is al

TRUTH TO THE STAGESTRUCK is an
unusual article by Marguerite Clarke.
who is a very successful stage lady. She
started in musical comedy. where she made
a real hit because of her cleverness. her dainty
beauty, and then made hit in Baby Mine,
one OF the funniest farces ever written. The
article is notable because OF the ideas in it. and
the understanding. 1t is very different from
the usual ones on the same subject. because it
shows an understanding of the temperament
OF the stagestruck girl. 1t has sympathy in it.
DR. EUGENE L. FISK has another OF his
- important and highly interesting arti
Giles on health. 1t is written in the same
bright, entertaining way that made its prede-
cessors 50 valuable. II shows that one can
write with scientific authority without being
dull and heavy.

Rev. Thomas Houston Will Hold
N00n=day Services.

Rev. Thomas Houston, the blind
evangelist and singer. who is conduct
ing a series of revival services in the
Union Street Methodist Church, ia at
tracing q large attendance at the
meetings.
Last evening he spoke on '"The Lost
Chord" and Iikened the wanderings of
a lost and despairing soul to the lost
chord.
He also sang THE Lost Chord very
acceptably, as he possesses a voice OF
wide range.
There is nothing spectacular about
his methods or delivery, but, instead,
he appeals to his hearers with foroeful
sincerity and pathetic candor.
The pastor of the church, Rev. Fred
erick c. Mooney, at the close Of the
service, said that a large number had
already professed conversion and that
the outlook was exceedingly hopeful.

KRAEMER is
VOTED DOWN
ON POLITICS
Board of Works Will Not Curtall
Mems Right TO Get
Votes.

The "pernieious utilization in active
politics. INDUCED in by the employees
of the Board of Works, according TO
COMMISSIONS Charles f. Kraemer, re-
ceived the Endorsement of The Repuoii-
can members of tn board at a meeting
late yesterday, and today the 600 men
on the department payroll are glad that
they may be foremen or bookkeepers
and county committeeman at the same
time.
DR.. Kraemer'a effort to emulate
Uncle am and the police and fire de-
partments by putting the ban on per
nicious political activity" was checked
by the three Republican commissioners.
Commissioner Arthur r. Denman
acted as the spokesman for his he
publican colleagues and insisted h
II was the inalienable right Of every
employee of the board to interest him-
self in municipal affairs.
DR.. Kraemer urged that the Fire
Board, the Police Board and Uncle
Sam have adopted the view he wished
tc present, and that only by its adop-
ton by the Board of Works would
the true intent of the civil service law
be carried out.
MIR. Denman, however, in a scholarly
address, said that a restriction of this
sort would be unjust, and that even
If adopted the employees would still
persist in their activity.
Commissioner Mungle spoke briefly,
supporting Mr.. Denmah. The motion
was put to a vote, Commissioners
Kraemer and Ryan voting for and
Commissioners O'Connell, Denman and
Mungle against it.

All but 80 OF
Shuberf Seats
Sold First Day

That the new Shubert Theatre will
have a crowded house at the opening
night next Monday was assured yes
terday, when only thirty-two tickets
were left after the first days sale. A
good deal of excitement Is visible
around the new playhouse, as the real
ization of Lee O~ttolengui's dream of
another first-class playhouse in this
city is drawing near. THE Henpecks, -
with Lew Fields. will be the offering at
the opening night.
Many persons are doomed TO disap-
pointment at not getting the tickets
they asked for. \ flood of checks and
money order poured in for seats, but
Mr.. Ottolengut decided to make no
reservations for this night and serve
those Who come in the order of their
coming.
All the modern Improvements looking
toward the safety and comfort of both
players and audience re in evidence
at the new playhouse. Both in front
of and behind the footlights nothing
has peer spared TO make this a place
that the audience will be loath to leave
when the curtain rings down on each
performance. 1t looks and is small, but
this only adds to Its coziness and feel
ing of snugness that is so dear to the
theatre-goer's heart.
Everything is in readiness, except the
box office. The pigeon-holes holdins
the tickets and some other Furnishings
are still lacking, but that will not make
any difference to the audience. The
tickets which were sold out of an open
valise will be just as good for Monday
night.

A GREAT DISCOVERY.
Certain Ingredients That Really Pro-
mote Hair Growth When
Properly Applied.

ResOrcin Is one of the most effect
i've germ destroyers ever discovered
by science, and in connection with
Beta Napthol, which is both germi-
cidal and antiseptic, a combination
is formed which destroys the germs
which rob the hair of it's natural
nourishment, and also creates
clean healthy condition of the scalp,
which prevents the Development OF
new germs.
Pilocarpin, although not color
ing matter or dye, is we'll known
ingredient for restoring the hair to
its natural color, when the loss of
hair has been caused by disease OF
the scalp.
These ingredients in proper COM
bination, with alcohol added as a
stimulant and for it's well-defined
nourishing properties, perfect per-
haps the most effective remedy that
is known for scalp and hair troubles.
We have a remedy which is chiefly
composed of these ingredients, in
combination with other extremely
invaluable medical agents. We guar
antee it to positively cure dandruff
and to grow hair, even though the
scalp in spots is bare of hair. IT
there is any vitality left in the roots,
it will positively cure badness, or We
will refund your money. If the scalp
has a glazed, shiny appearance, it's
an indication that badness is perma-
nent, but in other instances we be-
lieve badness is durable.
We want every one troubled with
scalp disease or loss of hair to try
Rexall "93" Hair Tonic. If it does
not cure dandruff and grow hair to
the satisfaction of the user, we will
without question or bubble return
every cent paid us for it. We print
this guarantee on every bottle. 1t
has effected a positive cure in SO per
cent of cases where put to practical
test.
Rexall "93" Hair Tonic is entirely
unlike, and we think, in every partic-
ular, better than anything else we
know of for the purpose for which it
is prescribed. We urge you to try
this preparation at our entire risk.
Certainly we know of no better guar
antee to give you. Remember, you
can obtain Rexall Remedies in Leon
only at our store-The Rexall Store.

Chas. II. Chapman was born Dec.

at Grand River, Iowa, Feb. 16, 1912,
aged "A years, 1 month and 20 days.
At the beginning of the rebellion

Cavalry and served faithfully and
we'll until March 9th, 1868, he was
honorably discharged at Georgetown,

to Jerusha Cudworth, at Armada,
Michigan. To this union five children
were born, three sons and two daugh-
tiers, two sons and one daughter,
Willie, James and Maud, having pre-
ceded him to the great beyond. He
leaves to mourn his death a devoted
wife, a son, Verne, of Creed, Colo,
and one daughter, Mrs. J. w: Beck,
of Grand River.
They came to Iowa in 1881, en-
barking in the hotel business at this
place, and after an uninterrupted and
successful career of almost thirty
years, last fall he had to turn the
business over to others on account
of failing health.
To Charles Chapman was accorded
the privilege of giving name to
this town and the time never was in
it's history that Charley was not
eady to do anything within his
means to advance the interests and
improvement of the town, and his
true worth was always appreciated
by the business population. In fact
those closely allied with him during
the upbuilding of the town have in
formed us that had his counsel been
taken in many moves the old town
would today be far ahead of its pres
ent standing. No man could be TAX

more. uncle Charley" as every
body knew him was ever on the
streets to greet men, women and
children alike, as he was true,
kind hearted friend to them all. Such
men are always missed, and sorely
missed by any community and it will
be many long years before the place
of Charles Chapman will be filled in
Grand River.
Funeral services were held at the
