Holu to Look Years
Less Than Your Age

The most aged face will look years
younger after the use Of ordinary mer-
colized wax for from ten days to two
weeks. This remarkable substance,
because of it's peculiar absorptiye pow
er, actually removes the thin veil OF
faded or withered outer cuticle, little
at a time. Gradually the fresher.
more youthful skin underneath is re-
vealed. This absorption process being
purely hygienic one, an entirely nat
ural complexion is acquired-quite diff.
ferent from the artificial complexion,
which appears anything but girlish,
though often bearing painful evidence
of childishness. An ounce of mercol-
ICED wax, obtainable at any drug store,
is sufficient to rejuvenate any COM
plexion. It is put on like cold cream
at bedtime. and removed mornings
with warm water.
To eradicate such age marks as
wrinkles and burrows. make wash To-
ton by aissolving / OF. powdered saxol
lite in " pit witch hazel. This has
wonderful astringent and tonic proper
| ties. 1t quickly effaces all kinds OF
wrinkles, no matter how caused, maxi
ing the skin firm, smooth and young
looking.

Trip Of Former Court Clerk Was
Made by Consent Of Governor
Clarke and Warden Of

LOOKING OVER BOOKS
Case Of Hart Against Lake and the
Bonding Company to
Come up To-
morrow.

! Bruce Lake, former clerk Of the dis

| terday, assisting the representatives
of the Bankers Surety company OF
Baltimore in looking over the books,
which will figure in the trial Of the
case Of Hart, clerk against Lake and
the bonding company. Lakes trip
from the state prison at Fort Madison
was made by the consent of Governor
Clarke and Warden Sanders, and he
came here under the special guard of
the Rev. Lloyd Tenant, chaplain of
the prison. Mr.. Lake was given his
special guard knew his whereabouts
during the entire day.
The former clerk maintains that the
books will show no padding. He is sill
ent on the subject for the most part,
however, and will not talk until the
proper time comes. He is looking fit,
although a bit thinner tlan when he
left here. His occupation which at the
present time is clerk to the deputy
warden is combining, and this is the
reason for his loss of flesh
According to the chaplain. Lake has
good place. and is model man in
the institution. He is quick and apt,
and is considered good accountant
by the officials. 1t is his duty to keep
the time of all the men who are work
ing for the state in certain depart
ments, as they are required to put In
a certain number Of hours.
Whether the case which will be
called up Monday will go ahead for
trial is matter of conjecture. There
may be settlement, and there may
not be one, 1t all depends on the atti-
tude of the bonding company, the
board of supervisors feels. The board
| is suing for s7.47S. The intent Of the
county, evidently is to recover the en-
tire amount of the alleged shortage or
to lose it all in the suit which is set
for Monday afternoon.

of the day at the court house, and in
the Keokuk National bank, where
there is sum Of money on deposit in
his name as clerk of the court. He re-
turned to Fort Madison last night with

Cooperation is Bio Help.

the truths could be impaired to each
child alone and under favorable con-
ditions, many of the mothers in keo-
kuk believe.
One very logical argument against
these things being taught in classes
is that all children do no: .'equire the
same knowledge at the same age.
One boy is wiser and needs more
careful watching and teaching at the
age of eight than another does at the
age Of twelve. It Is an Individual
problem and not class question. A
parent-teacher's association in every
district would in the imnds OF many
thoughtful people be the best way to
get at the question.

Step In Right Direction.

The teachers and mothers in the
Wells district have made long stride
in the right direction. The facts Of
the existing conditions ana the tend
encies are being clearly stated to
them When the mothers and teach
ers understand the dangers which
come to the child through ignorance,
both physical and moral dangers,
then they can study the best way to
impart this knowledge. The argu-
ment in favor of this teaching being
done in the schools Is that some
mothers will not or cannot teach
truths as they should be taught. This
argument will be true in very few
cases if the mothers study the ques-
ton seriously in parent-teachers
association. If there should be . rare
case where a mother felt she could
not talk to her child, in that instance
the teacher could in tactful way,
talk to that one child.

HOME TEACHING IS
METHOD DESIRED
Several Women in City Want Mother
and Not Schools to Discuss
Social Hygiene
Questions.
COOPERATION IS BEST
Plan Of Parent-Teacher Associations
is Considered One Which
Gives the Best Il
Results. "a

The question of the teaching of
been discussed throughout this coun-
try and Europe for the past five or
seven years. In this country it is
taught in the grades in very few
schools if any. In few cities 1t is
taught in the upper grades but the
idea has not been adopted to any de-
gree. The fact that young people
should be told some of the truths of
social hygiene is conceded almost
universally. but the time and place
is the mooted question. Its teaching
in the public schools has been OPP
posed very generally by the Roman
Catholic clergy and this no doubt has
it's effect all over the cc>.,irry.
Since the question has been brought
forward in Keokuk within the last
few weeks it is interesting to note
what the general sentiment is here.
"A representative of this paper has
taken pains to ascertain the senti-
Iment among some of the parents and
teachers locally. Everyone wishes of
course to do that which is best for
the moral and physical safety of the
child and through him sameguard the
race, but if the question were to be put
to vote today as to whether this
teaching shoul be done in our public
schools, it would be lost by an over
whelming majority, the women who
have been interviewed, say.
Mrs. B. F. Carroll, the wife of ex-
Governor Carroll. was the first to dis
cuss this question here in semi
public way and she without hesitency,
said the teaching should be done by
the mother.

Gives Birth to Quadruplets.

Westminster, May 14.-The wife
Of Sam Wood, a negro near West.
minister, gave birth last Tuesday to
four babies, which averaged sever
pounds each. One was still born.
two others died after birth and the
other is alive. This is the first time
that four babies have been born at
one time in this section, say some of
the older citizens.
Three OF the babies we're girls and
the fourth a boy, which is still liv-
ing and apparently healthy. Sam
certainly does not believe in race
suicide, and as one negro expressed
it, Sam sure would have had an
armful if all those babies had lived"
DR.. w. A. Strickland was called in
on the case, and after the babies
were born, knowing that four at one
time was an unusual amount. came
back to town and carried another
eye witness to see the quartette.
