DIGESTIT Is a harmless medicine

food in a natural way and tones the
digestive organs to a healthful con-

blCtches and sallowness. After TAX
ing a few doses you will note a big
improvement in the condition of your
health. 1t is a great energizer and
health restorer.
Mrs. T. A: do not think It nec-
essary for you to consult a physician
about your weight. You can easily
remove your burdensome fat at small
expense by dissolving four ounces of
parnotis in ! Y pints hot water and
taking a tablespoonful before meals.
This splendid fat reducer is very safe
to take and will not injure your
health. 1t will leave your skin free
| from wrinkles and flabbiness. No
dieting is necessary.
Ida p: You can't be too careful
about the shampoo you use. Soap
and powders should never be used on
the scalp. To properly cleanse your
hair and scalp without any danger
Of injury to the hair you will find
nothing to equal a tesspoonful of
canthrox dissolved in a cup OF hot
water. Your hair will rinse easily,
dry quickly without streaking or
brittleness and take on an added lus-
ter and nufbness that will last. No
shampoo is so effective in promoting
hair health by keeping the scalp per-
fectly clean.
Mrs. S. M: Your complexion is
shiny from the use OF greasy cold
creams. II you will mix an ounce
OF almozoin and two teaspoonfuls
glycerine in one-half pint cold water
and use this greaseless beauty cream
night and morning. you will not be
bothered with a muddy, greasy COM
plexion. 1t will make your skin ever
so soft, smooth and beautiful. II
clears and rehnes the skin as no 9TH
er cream i have ever used will, and
is a sure preventive against chapping,
blackheads and enlarged pores.
J c. W. r.: Oils, vaseline and most
OF the dope called hair tonic" will
never help your hair and scalp trou-
bles. The best remedy for Kidding
your scalp of dandruff, itching and
stopping your hair from coming out
is made by mixing together one
ounce quinzoin, one-half pint alcohol
and one-half pint cold water. This
] dependable remedy will not make
your hair oily or "stringy" but will
make It soft and glossy. Used twice
week 1t keeps the scalp in a healthy
condition and promotes q vigorous
growth OF glossy hair.

MOLINE

May Build High School.-Need of a
new and modern high school build
ing in Moline was recognized official
ly by the board of education Tues
day evening, when the matter of a
site for such building was discuss
ed. After a full canvassing of the
situation and possibilities, the board
went on record in favor Of the cree
ton of a new high school building
on the present high school lot east
of the present overcrowded building.
1t is proposed to convert the present
building into a central grammar
school.
Must Keep Streets Clean.-Deposit-
ing of paper in the alleys. except in
boxes, is prohibited by city ordi-
nance. Citizens of Moline who throw
loose paper in the alleys in the rear
of their premises do not realize how
Objectionable 1t is-how the wind
scatters the paper all over the streets
and alleys. 1t is the intention of
the city department to stop the prac-
tice r. to enforce the ordinance, and
public notice is given that those who
continue to throw paper in the al
leys will be prosecuted.

Health and Beauty Hints
BY MRS. MAE MARTIN

Rose: To rid your skin of that
shiny, greasy. sallow look and make
It appear charming and youthful, you
can use nothing better than a lotion
made by dissolving four ounces spur
max in half pint witch hazel Cor hot
water). then adding two teaspoonfuls
glycerine. This lotion will clear and
whiten your skin, make 1t smooth
and velvety and give you a beautiful
complexion. II costs very little, will
not show on the skin like powder
does and. when you wear a veil, will
not rub on so easily. This is really
a wonderful complexion beautifier,
ana one which every woman should
use.
Phoebe: II a strong light hurts
your eyes and makes you squint, you
should at once take steps to correct
this weakness. Get an ounce of
crystos and dissolve IL In a pint of
water. Put few drops of this sooth-
ing tonic in each eye daily and you
will soon find your eyes greatly
strengthened, clear and sparkling.
No remedy has 30 far been found TO
equal this excellent tonic for correct
ing weak. inhamed eyes. II makes
them healthy and strong and is used
by many actresses to make their eyes
sparkle.
NJ. w: To permanently remove
those hairs. mix a little powdered
delatone with water, then spread on
hairy surface. After two or three
minutes rub on, wash the skin and
the hairs are gone. This is a pain
less method and after using the della
tone the skin Is left soft and without
a blemish-
Ruth: For thin eyebrows, rub q
little pyroxin on each night with I'm
gertip. Short, straggly lashes can be
made TO grow in long and curly II
you apply pyroxin to lashroots with
thumb and forefnger. when using
pyToxin be careful not to get any
where no hair is wanted.
y. B. X: For your chronic condi-
ton OF III health take a tablespoon
full Of the following tonic before each
meal: Dissolve IN half pint alcohol,
half cupful sugar and one ounce kar
deDe; then add hot water to make q
full quart. This excellent system
tonic and blood purifier gives splen-
did results in toning up the body, re-

expense and much labor secured.
The state does not need the dollar
while the man in many cases needs
the meat. 1t must also be remem-
bered that only one deer and one
moose is the portion of each license
and this is not too much meat for a
man of family and saves him con-
siderable in the course of the
winter. The 81 law for retaining
tags has a tendency to make law
breakers of people and does not
help the morals nor the exchequor
of the state to very noticeable ex-
tent. This act is on a par with the
corrupt practices act as applied to
elections.
Another feature of the gamelaws
that seems to be'a thorn in the sides
of the outside hunters is the in
ability to take out of the state the
moose carcass for which you came
from many states in the Union to
secure. The state collects the fee
of $25 for nonresident license
and then compels the man to leave
the carcass of the moose he has
killed in the woods to rot. The
law should be changed to allow the
hunter to take his meat with him.
Many thousands of dollars are lost
to the state by this law. Hunters,
who formerly came here in great
numbers and spent much money
for the sole purpose of getting
moose, now do not come. There
is altogether to much red tape to
bother with and the hunter goes to a
state where he is not all wound up
in a net work of red tape and hunt
ing dont's after he has invested his
money for sport.
Usually laws are enacted to
benefit the state and its people but
these two sections of the game laws
do not seem to benefit either state
or people. They are a hardship
and should have no place on the
books.

In the Courts

Sam POlauS, arrested Tor transient
trading, was brought up from
Tower Saturday and lodged in Jail
until Sunday when bail was secur-
ed for his appearance the following
morning and he was released. At
a hearing in Municipal Court Mon
day Polaus was bound over to the
District Court OIL the charge of sell
ing without a county license. As
he did not furnish the $3.50 bonds
demanded, Officer Labeau took him
to the county Jail in Duluth We'd
nesday. Polaus is facing charges
from both Tower and Ely. He
pleaded his own case before the
court and the old saying of having
a fool for an attorney was en-
phasized. He was one of these
bright youths who imagine all the
knowledge of this sphere is encom-
passed within his individual era
MUM and that people here were
devoid of human intillect. Sammy
was from New York so he stated
and what he didn't know was nil.
Rude Papish and Frank Slobar
two noisy ones were gathered in by
Officer Labeau. They forfeited
bail of IS in each case when they
did not appear for the hearing.
Geo. Harder paid fine of $15
and costs for the privilege of order
ing an officer out of his saloon.
Harder claims he was in the act of
trying to induce some noisy Gus
toners to get out when the officer
arrived on the scene. This enrag-
ed Harder and the officer was also
ordered out.
Maria Skrinfor had JOS. Poglain
before the court Tuesday on a
statutory charge. He was bound
over to the District Court under a
5000 bond. The bond was fur
nished and the prisoner allowed to
60.
A party composed of Alderman
Harri, John Gouze, E. E. Lind
blad and John Seiberlich went out
to the White Iron bridge Sunday
afternoon for an outing. They
took with them fishing tackle and
a 22 calibre rifle for target practice.
Warden James brought in the
whole party. AT a hearing before
Justice Pickavance at Section
Thirty Tuesday, Harri was finec
1910 and costs and the cases of the
others was continued until mex
| Tuesday. The fine was RENTED
and Harri assessed only the cost
which he refused to pay and fur
nished a bond for a district cour
trial. The men claim they,wer'
not even fishing when taken in TOW
: by the warden who confscatet
their paraphernalia including tn
Igun. James however says the,
were Violating the fish laws. TIL
outcome of the case is being await
ed with interest.

Township Officers in Error

Many township officers through
out the state seems to be under a
misrepresentation as to the Forest
Law now in effect. A number
evidently still believe themselves
authorized fire wardens, as under
the old forest law. Accordingly
they have this spring signed claims
for fire fighting and sent them to
the State Forester. Under the new
law this is no longer a part of a
township oficers's duty. For the
benefit of any who are still misin-
formed, the following explanation
is made of the true situation.
The new forest law made effec-
tive in 1911, repealed the former
law under which township super
visors had been fire wardens. Soon
after the new law went into effect
all township supervisors who for
merly had been fire wardens were
notified by mail that they were no
longer authorized to expend state
money in fire protection work.
Under the new law, that area of
the state where dangerous fires are
most apt to occur has been divided
into several large districts. A
district forest ranger has been
placed in charge of each district.
Under each district ranger, during
the fire season, are several patrol
men. District rangers and patrol
men, paid through the State Forest
Service, are the only men with
direct authority to expend state
funds in fire protection work.
However, under the new law it
is the duty of all township and city
officers to cooperate with the offic-
ers of the state forest service. The
former are required to look to it
that conditions under their juris-
diction are such as to reduce the
fire danger. They will be assisted
by the forest officers in securing
safer conditions. Local town and
city officials should inform them of
any condition which constitutes a
serious fire danger, when they will
take the necessary steps to remove
the danger.
