Gated by state biologists of Iowa.
The glacial flows coming down the

who took part in local gold craze a,

When the glacial times disappear
ed and the Mississippi river AGAR
commenced to drain large territory
of it's waters, these flowing waters
came up against glacial dam. Thu
result was that the Mississippi rive
became a lake back to the north TO
several hundred miles. AS it took blu
la short time to fill up the lake, tn
surplus waters would naturally FLOW
over the lowest place on the dam.

Health and Beauty Answers
BY MRS. MAE MARTYR

w. S. S.: Your hair will never grow
long, thick and lustrous while you use
soap for shampooing. The alkali in
soap is too strong for the delicate
hairs, causing them to become dull,
brittle and faded If you will wash
the hair about twice month with a
teaspoonful of canthrox dissolved in a
cup of hot water, rinsing thoroughly
afterwards, you will find your hair
softer, fluffier and more brilliant
than ever before. The hair dries
quickly and evenly, without streaking
or dullness. CanthroX cleanses per-
fectly removing all dirt and dandnuff,
and relieves scalp irritation instantly.
Della: Peroxide will make the hairs
less noticeable, but if you really want
to remove that growth from your
cheek, apply paste made with pow
dered delatone and water. After two
or three minutes rub it off, wash the
skin and your cheeks will be firm,
white and hairless. Druggists will
charge dollar for an original one
ounce package of delatone, but it is
worth several times its cost, as it new
