REMOVING WRINKLES.
(From woman's National Journal.)


Who viii blame the modern woman
for trying to look as young and at
tractive as she reasonably can? Why
should she be placed at a disadvan-
tage in numerous ways by wearing
wrinkles, if she can avoid these hate
full marks of advancing age?
Few women, however. know what TO
do to effectually rid themselves of
wrinkles or sagginess. None of the
advertised preparations is satisfactory
and most of them are very expensive.
But a very simple and harmless home
remedy, which any woman can make,
win work wonders where all the pat
cnt preparations fail

st. Louis, Mo, March 23.-With the
Mississippi river deluging the low
lands below Cairo. H., and the water
above the flood stage at that city
comes the prediction that the river
will be over the levee railroad tracks
by Monday. River men are taking eV-
cry precaution to provide against flood
conditions which they expect will pre-
vail along the water front within a
week. The river passed the 23-foot
mark late last night and was still ris-
ing rapidly this morning. A large
force of laborers started moving con-
tents of levee warehouses shortly af-
ter daybreak.
The weather bureau predicted the
river would reach 2S feet by Monday.
At that height, the tide would be far
over the levees at some points. With
the river rising an inch an hour, the
residents of McPike island, near Alton,
H., packed their goods on the remain.
ing dry land last night and moved into
Alton.
Large trees floating down the river
bear witness of ravages of the water
al points above here. Rising at the
rate of two feet every "a hours, the
Ohio river is standing at between AZ
and AZ feet at Cairo, H., this morning
The lowlands outside the drainage dis
trict are flooded and farmers living il
those sections have moved to higf
ground.

last night between Los Angeles rail

five men residents of Eagle Rock, a

The battle began when the conduc-
tor demanded an extra five-cent fare
at the old city limits. When the pas
sengers refused, the car was halted
to await the arrival of men sent oft
by the company to reinforce the car
crew When the reinforcenlentS
came, the battle began, but the car
men were worsted. Officials of tine
railway company finally ordered the
car disabled and sent wrecking crew
out to tow it in to a barn.

supposed to have fired the shot that
killed Judge Massie, and his nephews,

hundred or more searchers about the

that the officers believe the outlaws
are still secreted in that vicinity.
Sidna Edwards insists that he has
not seen his uncles or cousins since

He will be taken to Roanoke today.

Roosevelt: Induced LaFolIette to
Accept.
THE message you say you brought
from Colonel Roosevelt to Senator
LaFollette can be construed in 10
other way than as an inducement 10
Senator LaFollette to become a can
didate. You say 'he (Roosevelt -
said he would in the columns of TE~
Outlook or otherwise, do what be
could to direct attention to the work
accomplished by Senator LaFCllette
in Wisconsin,
If he had said mo more that would
justify what have said that the mes
sage brought by you to LaFoilette
from Roosevelt encouraged LaFol-
lette to become a candidate.
But you said more than this. You
said that Roosevelt declared tnat he
could be a candidate; that lis place
in history Was made; thai he could
not afford to take a defeat, and that
whoever made the fight was certain
to be defeated for nomination or fol
election if nominated; chat this was
the Democratic year; thaJ LaFollette
would not be injured Dy the defeat !;
that there should be candidate rep-
resenting the progressive movement,
| that LaFOllettee was the logical man
and that if he decided to make the
! fight he should announce his candi
dacy at once
THAT Roosevelt encouraged LaFOi
| lette to become a candidate you can
! not deny.
Mr.. Houser renwed his charge thai
| the attitude of the Roosevelt force:
toward LaFollette changed as soon as
there became evident widespread
growth of the progressive movement
and the possibility of Senator LaFol
lettes nomination.
| Then big business said Mr.
Houser, represented by Hanna, Nun
sey, Perkins and others of higher
and lesser note who have always op
posed Latollette entered the contes
and introduced Colonel Roosevelt az
a candidate and still are actively sup
porting him. The people will judge
in the light of the facts whether Roos
evelt has kept true faith with LaFol
lette or is doing so with the real pro
gressives of the country"
