tor of the First Presbyterian church.
MIR. Watt is well known to all the
members of the pharmaceutical fra

cense from Judge Hanson without LETT
ting any of the druggists in on the
matter, however, m no one suspect
ed the happy event was going to take
place.
The bridge is one of the most pop
ular young women of Hunter and has
many friends in this city who will

Mrs. Harry; Impure blood is the
cause OF much sickness, and j would
advise you to begin at once a kardene
treatment. lis an old-fashtoned
blood-cleanser and body-buiider, and liz
made by putting / ounce kardene into
sugar n hot water to make a quart.
Take / tablespoonful before each meal
and II will gently expel poisons from
the blood n tone up the entire sys-
tenn. This will give you renewed
strength and energy and make D feel
good. It is especially good as q SUM
mer tonic, and Its use frequently pre-
vents serious sickness.
Mrs. Tim: Unhealthy scalps cause
profuse dandrum, excess oiliness and
other upsets, and these in turn cause
fall out. Try the ~quinzoin tonic ! FREE
quently mention and you can correct
all this. Just add / ounce quinzotn to
Y pint alcohol then Pour IN v Plnt
quent applications of this hair-touic
will Danish all scalp afflictions, keep IL
healthy and induce an abundance OF
soft, brilliant hair, rich in its natural
color. -
Alma NJ: You need have no fear OF
tan or freckles IL you apply daily a
plain spurmax lotion, made by stirring
hazel (or hot waterl TO which has been
added Q teaspoonfuls glycerine. This
lotion is superior to powder, because IL
does not clog the pores, and 1t imparts
an exquisite tint and velvety smooth
ness to rough, oily, blotchy or "mud-
dy" kin The regular use of the
spurmax lotion insures a youthful com
plexion not possible by any other
method. The Bpurmax lotion also is
invisible when on and Is not affected
by wind or Precipitation.
Mona: Your dull, expressionless
eyes. when treated with a simple crys-
tos tonic, will soon regain their former
briIliancy and expressiveness. To make
the tonic, dissolve / ounce crystos in
a pint cold water, then put 2 or 3 drops
crystos eye-tontc for removing foreign

Mrs. ]. L.: Frequent shampoos with
canthrox during the summer months
insure a fine growth of brilliant, fiuffy
hair, rich in It's natural color n so
ing 1t up is genuine pleasure. "A tea
spoonful canthrox dissolved in a cup
hot water Is enough mixture, and when
this is rubbed up IL creates an abund-
ance OF white, thick lathe. thai quickly
dissolves all dust, dandruff and excess
oil. Rinsing leaves hair and scalp inn
m~aculately clean, and the hair will dry
quickly and evenly. The regular use Of
canthrox gives to the hair that exs
quisite iuff and massy softness and
will insure a lovely growth.
u. A. H.: A delatone paste will re-
move the hairy growth. Mix enough
powdered delHtone with water to
the hairy surface, apply and after 2 or
9 minutes remove wash the skin and
the hairs are gone. This treatment is
harmless and doe MOI discolor the skin.
Anxious: Cutting the Iashes is dan
gerous. Apply a little pyroxin each
night at lash roots with the thumb and

Of Fargo-or outside Of the club mem
bership in order to get a good secre-
tary; / believe We should elect n
OF our own members-that little old
man who is nearly always here, but
who is not present this afternoon; he
is always decidedly interested in every
thing that will build up the city, and
always willing to help; he does not
seem to have much to do, but appears
to like to be active; l believe too that
he would appreciate the salary OF $40
or $50 per month, and 1 believe we
should select this man, and see IL he
will not gladly devote all his time TO
the work of the club" The gentlemen
| present were in doubt as to what
member of the club the speaker refer
red 10, and it was some time before
his Identity could be discovered, as
the proposer could not think Of the
mans name, and he had to be dis
covered by the description given Of
him. The man turned out 10 be the
late ]. B. Folsom, and the speaker had
paid one Of the highest tributes pos
sible to his interests In Fargo and her
upbuilding, but he was not aware that
Mr.. Folsom had a very real
estate and loan business, n was n
of the wealthiest citizens of Fargo.
Mr.. Folsom thoroughly enjoyed the in
cident when it was related to him
some time later.

Whereas, Mr.. Folsom was a warm
friend Of Fargo College, especially dur
ing it's early years. when his foresight
and councils had more to do than that
Of any other mar in leading the
founders to select the splendid site
where the college now stands, there
Resolved. hrst, that we feel as OFF,
GERS and trustees Of Fargo college,
that the college, as well as the entire
city of Fargo, and community at large,
has lost a friend and highly honored
citizen;
resolved, second, that we join with
many others in expressing our high
! appreciation OF Mr.. Folsom's devo-
ton to the city and commonwealth. his
| high character as q man, n the keen
| sense of loss that we all feel, that one
| whom we have known long and high
ly honored has been taken SO sudden
Iy from our midst.
Resolved, third. that we express to
his widow, daughter, and other men-
berg of his family, our deep sympathy
In this time of their great sorrow,

Lord and Master, who is the only
source OF strength and comfort TO
