INTERESTING FACTS!
Mime. Japrose Talks on
Personal Cleanliness

The daily bathing habit is more than
Q desire to appear clean and bright.
It is a positive necessity for complete
health. The pores of the skin are
nature g breath ducts and to clog them
up is to invite i'll health. The happiest
men and women and children on earth
are those who are perfectly clean, and
perfect cleanliness comes from the use,
in the bath, of Jap Rose, the bubble
bath soap. The delicate odor of this
delightful toilet requisite gives one that
sense of perfect cleanliness; free from
the ,odors Of perspiration. Sold at

Upper Mississippi River Improvement
Association Speaks out Strong
~ to Improve
Channel.
BETTER DOCK FACILITIES
TWO Things Necessary to Revive
Traffic on River in View Of
the Association
Officials.

The Upper Mississippi River I'm.
provement association, of which L. A.
Hamill OF this city is vice presi-
dent, has issued its June bulletin of
the work done and recommendations.
There are two propositions now be-
ing pushed by the association: six
foot permanent channel and terminal
facilities at the various cities. Re
garding these two propositions the
bulletin says:
The Improvement Of the channel or
the river is being urged by this ASSOC
citation that it may be made perma-
lently navigableafor the carriage Of
the commerce of the peop,e.
In order to obtain full benefit of wa
ter carriage and to promote the
growth of river transportation, it is
absolutely essential that each towL
and city provides municipality owned
and controlled pert terminals, ade-
quately equipped with modern meth
DDS for the expeditions and economi-
cal handling of all classes of freight
and physically connected with all rail-
roads entering the port.
Present methods with their old
fashioned mud landings are archaic.
They are completely out of date and
in NJ manner suited to present and
future requirements.

Terry's Show Band the Best.

Terry's Uncle Toms Cabin Co.
gave a highly satisfactory rendition of
that old drama in this city Tuesday
night. Their tent was pitched on the
east end of Whiteside park, and the
crowd that gathered is estimated at
1900. The parade in the afternoon
was exceedingly creditable, attracting
a large number of admiring people to
the streets, but the striking feature
with Terrys visit so far as their free
attractions are concerned was the
band concert on Main street in the
evening. The Terry show band is the
best that has visited this city since
the days Of LaPearl.--Evening Re

High School Concert.


Tomorrow evening the high school
chorus of 135 voices assisted by Mrs.
Schouten, Mr.. Fuller and Mr. UT will
produce Neils Gade's high class can.
tata "The Crusaders" In this work
Mr.. Gade has shown himself com.
poser Of rare discrimination, and
keenest musical instinct. The scene
of the story is laid in the middle ages
and is told of toiling through the des-
erts, or being scorched by the heat
and shivering with the cold, of being
frightened by phantoms and discour,
aged by difficulties. In contrast to
this is the triumphant confidence of
the knights and soldiers in the just
ness Of their cause and the certainty
Of their victory. The music is writ
ten to picture these sentiments in a
most wonderful way. The voices of
the soloists are splendidly adopted to
these parts in the cantata, and their
rendition of the solo parts will be
most satisfactory The chorus has
been working a number of months

Port Terminals Essential.

Port terminals are as essential to
the successful use OF a river, as sta
tons are to railroad. Properly con-
structed and economically managed,
they can be made self-sustaining un-
der moderate charges without being a
burden upon the people, and at the
same time be a saving to both the
carrier and the shipper.
In keeping with its purpose, this
association undertook to obtain neces.
sary legislation by the different states
bordering on the upper river. where
by municipalities situated on naviga-
'ble waterways would be empowered
through board of dock commission
ers, to be appointed by the mayor, to
acquire river frontage, to construct
terminals, and to manage and control
the same. Such an act has been pass
ed by the legislatures OF Minnesota
and Iowa, and it is hoped that a slmi-
lar act will be passed by ..,e legisla-
