The first end accomplished is to wash
the air clean of all dust or other par

evaporation is a cooling process 1t is in

Angry Farmer Didn't Want

Now He Is Arrested for Maim-
ing Domestic Animals.

Fort Scott, Kan, Nov. 21.-Dave Bow
ers, a farmer residing five miles south
and west of Redfeld, was taken into
custody by Sheriff George Cowan, on
d warrant sworn to by a neighbor,
who charges that Bowers shot two or
his cows, seriously wounding one OF
them and injuring the second. Mr..
Stevens charges that the shooting was
deliberate and occurred because the
two cattle had broken from their pas
ture and entered the Bowers feed lot,
where Mr. Bowers was milking. The
complaint was issued on a special
statute providing against the wound
ing or manning of any domestic ami
NAL.
MIR. Stevens alleges that his two
cattle broke from their pasture and
entered the Bowers feed lot. He was
on his way after them and was in the
road when he heard the shots fired by
Mr.. Bowers, and later heard the cat
tie running down the road. They were
not found until the morning after and
Mr.. Stevens now alleges that one of
them was seriously and probably ia
tally injured and that the other had
also been injured very painfully by
the charge of shot, one of which was
fired into each of the cattle. This is
the first prosecution to occur in Bour-
bon county on this charge for a num-
Der of years.

glycerine. Apply to the face, neck and
arms with the palm of the hand and you
need not bother again all day about your
complexion. 1t affords protection against
cold, biting winds, although it is so dainty
and delicate that its use cannot be de-
tected. 1t is especially fine for anyone
with dark or oily skin, for 1t is true
complexion-beau tifier and keeps the skin
smooth, soft and velvety.
Anyone blessed with beautiful hair
should by all means take the very best
care of it they can. Dandruf will, in

every week with canthrox. Dissolve a
teaspoonful in a cup of hot water, pour

Canthrox makes plenty of rich lather and
thoroughly cleans the scalp and hair. 1t
relieves itching and irritation of the scalp
and the hair dries quickly and evenly

About this time he was called to Wash

After completing his course at Car
