Do Modern Dances
Make Wrinkles?

II is strictly a newspaper notion
that because the dances of the day are
strenuous they develop signs OF age.
Worry and carelessness may make
wrinkles, but the activity Of clean
dancing, never, Wrinkles are due
more to improper care of the skin,
neglect and too strenuous mental &C
tivity. They may be avoided or cured
by using a simple protective and
stimul1tive vegetable cream jelly be-
fore retiring. Just get on. ounce OF
almozoin from your uggist-dissolve

Hereafter Numbers on Checks Must
be Verified Before Same Can
Be Delivered to Old
Soldiers.
NO MORE FORWARDING
If Temporarily Absent, Vouchers Can
Be Held But They Can't Be
Sent to Other
Points.

A new mode Of proced-.e in the
matter OF getting pension checks is
being adopted by the bureau and the
rostottice department. The new sys-
TEN Is In force now and the first of
the vouchers to be delivered under
this system will be taken out this
week, from the local office.
The pension vouchers are placed in
official envelopes which contain
window for the address and the pen
eiol number. Before this envelope
can be delivered to the person to
whom it is addressed that person must
number on his pens ion which should
correspond to the number displayed
in the envelope window. He can then
claim the check, otherwise not.
This is in accordance with the new
ruling which is plainly printed on the
envelope in which the check is con-
tanned. 1t practically means that
persons who are expecting pension
papers should stay at home at the
time the pension checks should come.
The department suggests that those
who a:e expecting pension envelopes
should remain at home in order that
they may declare the number of their
pension to the carrier that he may
compare 1t with the number in the
window.
Another ruling which must be OBJ
served Is that the pension vouchers
cannot be forwarded now. This is
something that the local postofilce Of
fcials wish to call attention to. In
case of temporary absence from the
city the pension money can be held
but it cannot be forwarded under
the new rulings.
Old soldiers and soldiers widows
who are expecting their pension
checks this month, and from now on
stould bear in mind these changes in
the method of receiving their money

HOG CHOLERA SERUM
IS ABOUT USED UP
State Laboratory at Ames Is Elk
hausted and Outside Firms
Are Relied on.

Fresh outbreaks of cholera, expect
ed at this time of the year, have de-
pleted the serum supply at the state
laboratory at Anes and M. L. Mosher,
county agriculturist, sent lists of
private plants that are licensed, to the
veterinarians of the county The cost
of the serum is slightly higher than
that supplied by the state.
The outbreak in Clinton county is
in the center of the county. Some Of
it Is caused by infection from other
cases. One case that was not believ.
cd to have been cholera at first is be.
lieved to have been the source Of
rnrch of it. The cholera is prevalent
at this time in the summer. The
young pigs have jus. been weaned and
are more susceptible while the thresh-
ing season gives more opportunity for
the disease to spread. 1t Is hot
weather disease and the warm wealth
err assists in it's spread.
Determined efforts are being made
to stop its spread. The situation now
is about as it was last year with the
exception that the losses have not
teen as heavy, due to more VAGINA
ton. The effects of the campaign
this summer will be felt next year,
provided the farmers continue their
efforts The quarantine Is doing
good work in stopping the spread Of
the disease from one farm to another
but the determination Of the plague
must be accomplished in the fall when
the disease has run its course. Thor
ough disinfeclion and cleaning up
will preevnt the temperance of the
disease next year.

HENRY COUNTY FAIR
AUGUST 10 TO 81
Interesting Race Events Promised and
Preparations Being Made to
Care for Big Crowds.

The Henry county fair for 1914
bids fair to be the greatest Of its en-
tire history. The society is getting
ready for just such an event. Ample
accommodations are being provided
for all stock entries, new pens and
stalls for hogs and cattle are being
built and the live stock entries are
already greater than ever before.
The race events are always the best
in Iowa and this year will be no ex-
ceution The track record Is unchal-
lenged by any track in the state
this means track events that are sure
to please. The great and unusual at
traction, two automobiles plung1ng IN
to the air high over the heads OF the
neople and turning summersaults
above the sky line, passing each other
in the trackless air and coming down
TO earth again, alighting and driving
away in safety by their daring drivers.
This unusual attraction is worth the
nrice of admission and will draw an
immense crowd each day. The music
will be better than ever before. The
Orchard City band, Fairfield crack X.
NJ p band and the Mt. Pleasant band
will all be on the grounds. Three
such bands will surely keep the muss-
cal interest up to concert pitch Don't
forget the dates, August IS, 10, 20
and 81.
The Henry county fair is always
advertised-every day a big day, and
they make it that way. Last year
many who missed the Wednesdays
program. regretted 1t exceedingly as
It was fully as good as any day dur
ing the week. Three harness and one
running race will be pulled off each
cay and every day will be big day,
sure enough. The way to see 1t all
is to buy a season ticket and go to
the fair. August 1921.

debt of $14,774 to the Concordia Fire

A verdict for this amount was re-
turned against Major Funkhouser

partnership firm of Montgomery and
Funkhouser in favor of the insurance
company by Judge Martin in the Mu-

EXTREME COLD WEATHER Is

where the temperature has lowered
in the neighborhood Of 10 degrees be-
low zero for the past three days, and
the fact that the mine owners have
taken advantage of the increased
suffering of the striking miners to
make several new evictions, has
broken the spirit and increased the
feeling of despair in the strikers
hearts. One hundred Finnish and
Hungarian strikers at Wolverine and
North and South Kearsage joined the
back-to-work movement and a sim
liar number applied to the mining
companies for employment.
The mine operators openly boast
that in two weeks they will have
broken the spirit of every striking
miner and that they will be glad to
come back to work.
Thousands of the strikers are seek

BRITISH PRIVATE WRITES
ABOUT FRENCH BATTLES

When the Germans made their stand
east of the Disc and along the Aisne,
the three British corps were concen-
trated against the German right. The
Third army corps took up it's position
near Scissors; east of them the Sec
ond British corps was stationed, and
on it's eastern bank lies the First
corps.
The positions of these troops makes
them the real defenders of Paris, for
the British army of Paris, which was
sent out under General D'Tmade at
the time the offensive campaign was
begun, has moved far to the north.
The report shows that the Germans
fell back across four French rivers
without serious resistance against the
pursuing allies. 1t also shows that the
flight Of the Germans was rapid, for
at some points they had made inef-
fectual efforts to destroy large quanti-
ties of ammunition which they could
not carry with them. Many ammuni-
ton wagons and automobile vans,
which had been used for the trans
portation of supplies, were destroyed
to prevent their falling into the hands
