New Nome Treatment
For Banishing Hairs
(BeautY Tonicsl

With the aiu of delatone paste, it
is an easy matter for any woman to
remove every trace of hair or fuzZ
from face, neck amd arms. Enough
of the powdered delatone and water
is mixed into a thick paste and spread
on the hairy surface for about 2
minutes, then rubbed off and the skin
washed. This completely removes the
hair, but to avoid disappointment, get
the delatone in an original package.

A battle occurred not long ago between
the hated enemies, Captain Dog and Cen
eral Mouse. The battle was one of the
worst ever fought II happened this way
General Mouse was proceeding leisurelS
along Stove mountain. unarmed and un.
guarded when all at once he heard a
noise like someone stealthily creeping
toward him. Immediately out from the
bushes sprang Captain Dog, and almost
as soon pounced upon his prey. But
General Mouse was crafty and wise, and
by being unusually witty escaped.
AS you know, most great army officers
by the name of Dog usually examine
their captives before killing or capturing
them. This great captain instead OF taxi
ing General Mouse prisoner began to look
at him and flatter himself for getting so
good captive, General Mousse then
slipped out of Captain Dogs grasp and
sped away over Floor plain.
1t was a dreadful face that Captain
Dog made when he saw that his pris-
oner had gotten away. or course he fol-
lowed, but II was OF no use for General

Matty.

A century or more ago. in a small,
settlement on the banks of the Missis-
sippi, there lived a little girl called
Mstty Kilburn. On a hill stood the fort
where the people ran for protection In
any danger, for the country was new and
wild, and more than once the Indians
had come down the river in their canoes
and burned the houses, killed men and
carried away women and children. Matty
lived alone with her father and felt quite
safe In the log house, for he was never
far away, One afternoon as the farmers
were all busy in their fields the bell rang
suddenly, sign that there was danger
near, and, dropping their rakes or axes
the men hurried 20 their houses to save
wives and babies and such few treasures
as they could, Mr.. Kilburn caught up lhis
gun with one hand and his little girl With
the other and ran as fast as he coAld
toward the fort. But before he co,tld

redmen coming up from the river ThA.n
