How 10 Lock Years
Less Than Your Age
(From the Dermatologist.)

The most aged face will look years
younger after the use of ordinary mer-
coIzed wax for from ten days to two
weeks. This remarkable substance, be-
cause of its peculiar absorptive power,
actually removes the thin veil of faded
or withered outer cuticIe, little at a
time Gradually the fresher, more youth
ful skin underneath is revealed. This
absorption process being a purely hygienic
one, an entirely natural complexion is
acquired-quite different from the arti-
fetal complexion, which appears any
thing but girlish, though often bearing
painful evidence of ehildishness- An
ounce of mercolized wax, obtainable at
any drug store, is sufficient to rejuvenate
any complexion 1t is put on like cold
cream at bedtime, and removed mornings
with warm, sUdsy water.
To eradicate such age marks as wrinkles
and burrows, make a wash lotion by dis
solving an ounce of powdered Saxolite
in half pint witch hazel. This has won
derful astringent and tonic properties. 1t
quickly effaces all kinds of wrinkles, no
matter how caused, making the skin
firm, smooth and young looking.-Adv.

whose hair has been neglected or is
scraggy, faded, dry, brittle or thin.
Besides identifying the hair, Dander-
inc dissolves every particles of dan1-
ruff; cleanses, Purifies and invigoratas
the scalp, forever stopping itching and
falling hair, but what will please you
most will be after a few weeks use Of
Danderine, when you will actually see
new hair-fine and downy at first
yes-but really new hair growing all
over the scalp. If you care for pretty
soft hair, and lots of it; surely get a
70 cent bottle of Knowlton's Dander-
inc from any drug store or toilet coun-
ter and Just try it. ADV

Former Kansan Avoids Being
Held Up by Teacher.
EsBlack Hand1 Comes to Grief
When Inskeep Shoots.

Manhattan, Kan, Dec. 4.-Lee IN
skeep, formerly of this city but now
of Romney, West Virginia, had most
thrilling experience according to news
which has just reached here. He was
out at the barn working when a cou-
pie of masked men appeared and with
revolvers pointing at him, command
ed him to throw up his hands. They
claimed that they were sent by the
master of the Black Hand and then
demanded that he write check for
$500.
He discovered they were negroes and
argued the matter with them. They
reduced the demand to $500, then 5000.
then $3.50. He offered to write one for
500, saying that he was in poor health
and that was enough. They told him
to make it $3.50 or they would shoot
him. He finally agreed. The negroes
wanted him to write the check then
but he said that he would have to
go to the house after his check book.
The blacks became suspicious and in
quired who was there. He told them
his wife and two other women. They
tied his hands behind him and went
with him to the house. When they
got there the robbers were kept busy
by the women. One went after the
cook and beat her quite badly. This
gave Inskeep an opportunity to free
himself and grab his rifle.
The robber near him started to run
and Inskeep fired several times, but
does not think he hit him. Inskeep
returned to the house and got his
shotgun and just about that time the
other fellow who had been engaged in
subduing the cook, opened the door
into the room, with revolvers in hand.
Inskeep fired and the negro evidently
fired at the same time. The negro fell
riddled with shot and never spoke
again.
After the fight was over Lee found
that he had a slight scalp wound, but
does not know when, nor how he re-
ceived it. The countryside was
aroused and the one who escaped was
pursued but he was not captured. The
coroner's jury that sat on the case
commended Inskeep for defending
himself and family.
The negroes proved to be a teacher
in a local colored school and his
brother a reward of 5000 is offered
for the one who escaped.
Lee Inskeep is a brother of VIII
liam Inskeep and has numerous other
relatives here.

have enabled the university to estab-

medicine at Urbana. Having discon-
ttnued its old medical school in Chi
cago, the university now will be with
out a medical department.
The senate passed bill appropriat-

ment station at the university. An
appropriation for this purpose was in
validated by the same decision which
affected the medical school bill.
APPROPRIATION GOES THROUGH.
Bills passed at the midnight session
included the 100000 omnibus appro-
priatiOn bill of the regular session,
with amendments, and a bill appropri-
ating s3,700 for the payment of en-

The omnibus bill was reenacted to
avoid its inyalidation in proceedings
similar to those brought against the
university medical school item.
Included in the amendments to the
appropriation bill was an appropria-
tion for the state factory inspection de.

appropriation pf $4,000 was mI1e, to-

down. Edgar T. Davies, state factory
