Funeral from the late home at 1870
o'clock p. m, Tuesday, Dec. 10. In
terment in Forest cemetery.
An unusual element of sadness is
connected with the death of the young
man.. He wanted so much to live.
He had so much to live for, young
wife and two babies, the elder a tod
dler in short dresses. He had tried
so hard to make good. He had been
i'll for a long time and had been un.
der the care of physicians through
numerous courses of treatment. The
patient had developed a leaky heart
and for his trouble there is no known
cure. Still the young man worked
and struggled, sometimes better,
sometimes worse. Within anew days
!of his death he asserted that he felt
perfectly well again and he desired to
get up and out at work. Deceased
was a foster son of NJ. j. Bilbo, de-
ceased, formerly of Rose HILL and for
Ia portion of his earlier life he resided
at Rose Hill He was born at Month
cello, Iowa, and has resided in Oska
loosa several years. He has been
lyariously engaged in business here
being associated with his foster faith
Ter in the shoe business in a location
east of the Y. NJ. &. A. building. He
was employed with the J. r. McGreg
or store and has also been with the
Union Steam Laundry. With all the
handicap against him and in spite OF
the hopelessness of his effort he
fought against the inevitable, feeling
sure that some help would come to
his assistance. Nor did he give uI
the struggle until Inconsistencies
came upon him in the last hours, pre-
ceeding death.

become increasingly important and
their wider use Is timely topic in

WANT FAT REDUCING SPECIALIST
TO HEAD W0MEN'S TICKET
Marjorie Hamilton. Who Has Made Fortune as
Enemy of EmbOnpOint. offered
High Political Honors.

Denver political circles planning to
make the greatest equal suffrage demon
stration in the history of the movement
at the next presidential election. To do
this, the leaders in the movement have
NIT on What they consider to be a unique
idea They are going to offer as their
candidate the best advertised woman in
the United States. This is the famous
calendar girl and fat reducing expert,
Marjorie II. Hamilton.
Miss Hamilton has been living in Dem
yer Tor some time now and il is from here
| that she has conducted her campaisn
| against tat, using as her slogan, the line
mat faces one from every newspaper and
magazine In the country: Fat Vanfshen
a Pound a Day" The suffragists believe
that the fame that has come to Denver
through the phenomenal success of this
beauty crusade, win aid them materially
Miss Hamilton is a bright and energetic
young woman, as well as a famous beau
~, and she has a tremendous following
mere and throughout the entire world
among social leaders and actresses who
Keep down their weight with her new
drugless treatment She has built up a n
enormous business with her new treat
ment for obesity and her executive ability
is looked on as a powerful asset by the
Suffrage leaders. Miss Hamilton has Ia
ken up the question seriously and her
offices in the Central Bank Building ara
now thronged daily with an oddly assort-
ed crowd of beauty seekers and political
boomers.
Now. that 1 am thin again. III run for
any office they want me for said Miss
Hamilton, in recent interview, but II
must be on a beauty platform and our
campaigns slogan must be- Fat Van
ishes a Pound a Day. ] couldn't run for
anything, however, when 1 was a fat
joke" Then she laughed and declined to
be a candidate because her affairs are
keeping her too busy to do anything but
her own business. But the suffragettaE
still hope to bring her to accept the offer
for q political job. IT would be strange
If Miss Eamilton's great success as a fat
reducing specialist should lead her to the
White House.

Renewing Complexions
by Absorption

If your complexion is marred with
blotches, sallowness, moth patches,
pinpIes blackheads or freckles. it's
useless to putter with powders and
paints. ielIies, creams and things. In
less YOU have some ability as an ar
tisr you'll mar your appearance still
more.
The new and rational way is to take
off the complexion itself with all its
offensive marks. Just get an ounce
of pure mercolized wax at the drug
gist's and use at night same as cold
cream Remove next morning with
water and soap. The mercolized wax
absorbs the half-dead scarf skin in
fiaky particles, so gradually no one
guesses you're treating your face
unless it be by the result, which is
truly wonderful. There's nothing like
it for restoring a natural, healthy and
beautiful complexion.-Aunt Sally.

MiIady's Toilet Table
Bv Mime. D'MILLE.

The electric needle can be resorted
to for the removal of superfluous
hairs, but the operation is expensive
and requires a first class operator.
Wild hairs can be quickly and easily
removed at home by the application
of delatone paste. Mix enough pow
dered delatone with water and cover
the hairy surface, apply and wipe off
after two or three minutes; then wash
the skin and the hairs will be gone.
A clear, soft and satiny complexion
can be achieved by rubbing the face,
neck and arms gently each morning
with a solution made by dissolVing an
original package of mayatone in a
half pint of witch hazel. This is a
wonderful complexion beautifier and
prevents growth of hair.
To reduce swellings, allay inflam-
nation, to stop ache in back or joints,
to relieve pain from strain, bruise,
sore muscles or any cause, apply
Mothers Salve before retiring, rub
bing in well. 1t is used for neuralgia,
headache, rheumatism, lumbago, etc
pain reliever.
Don't catch cold washing your head.
To make dry shampoo that cleans
the scalp and hair, put a cupful of
cornmeal in fruit jar, add contents
of an original package of therox, and
shake well together. Sprinkle q
spoonful on the head and brush well
through the hair. It will make the
hair light, fluffy and beautifully lus-
trous.

1.-The latter half of ST Johns Gospel,
which begins with the 18th chapter, is
the Holy of Holes of the New Testa-
ment. Nowhere else do the BLENDED
lights of our Lords superhuman dlg-
nitv and human tenderness shine with
such lambent brightness. Nowhere else
is his speech at once so simple and so
deep. Nowhere else have we the heart
of God so unveiled to us. On no other
mage. even of the Bible, have so many
eyes glistening with tears, looked anu
had the tears dried Thus Alexander
Maclaren. introduces our chapter
The reader should recall that the 12th
chaDter marks the close of Jesus pub
lie utterances. Hereafter we hear hlin
speaking more intima teIy to friends in
tho inner circle. For a few chapters
We have recorded the closing scenes OF
his earthly life. for within twenty-four
hours his body will lie in the sepulcher
In verses l to 20 is recorded the scene
of Jesus washing the apostles teet-
This necessary service had, doubtless,
been performed many times by the
APOSTLES in turn. But pride and SelflSh-
ness had crept into their lives and IN
their heated discussion as TO VINO would
be greatest among them, they forgot
or refused to render the accustomed
service But the Master who came,
not to be ministered unto, but to min
ister." quietly laid aside his garments
girded himself with a towel. and began
to wash the disciples feet Thus by
putting himself in the servants place,
our Lord has consecra ted all service
1t was gentle. but very effective re-
buke to the disciples; it was also an ex-
preston of love to the uttermost'
which now seem intensified as the
Master approached the parting from
these friends. Love knows nothing un-
usual in needed service. Thank God
the example of Jesus is slowly but
surely working like leaven till the
whole will be 1eavened! The watchword
of our age is OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
At least two things should be noted
in verses 81 to 80. First is the rapiditJ
with which a deep-seated sin will grow
and overmaster it's victim Judas well
illustrates James 1:14, Is. Each man
is tempted when he is drawn away by
his own lust, and enticed- Then the
lust when it hath conceived, beareth
sin: and the sin. when it is fullgrown,
bringeth forth DEATH Second is the
character of Jesus az it is revealed in
his frank yet sympathetic attitude
toward Judas. The spirit revealed in
this chapter is what the world most
needs today.

ments. 1t works through the pores and
removes the cause: Dissolve two table
spoonfuls of Calocide compound in
basin of warm water. Soak the feet in
this for full fifteen minutes, gently rub
bing the sore parts" The effect is magi-
cal. All soreness disappears instantly.
Corns and Callouses can be peeled right off.
1t gives instant relief for bunfons, aching
and sweaty smelly feet. Any druggist
has Calocide in stock win quickly get
it from his wholesale house. A twenty
