Scott, paralyzed since 1912 and described by specialists to be hopelessly crippled. walked to school from her home, She expressed a desire to enter-t the gym nasium class immediately, but her par ents objected. ,4

 Her school classmates had aided in caring for her and had taken turns in wheeling her about the streets in q wheel chair her parents provided for her. Her birthday is Dec, 26, so last Christmas her parents rendered a par ty to her girl friends. She intended if on crutches. which she had learned .n use.

Purified Blood H7 SOLVES Most of Sick ness Probloms

People who have been poulticing and amounting for years and years marvel at the way Purola does the work.
 When you come to realize that the skin and flesh beneath are composed of network of tiny blood vessels you solve the mystery,
 There are wonderful medicinal properties in Purola Syrup sarsap- ariIla compound that follow the course of the blood stream just as naturally as the most nourishing food clements.
 Thousands know it to be really a remarkable remedy. It contains one ingredient, the active purpose of which is to stimulate the tissues to the healthy selection of it's own essential nutriment. And the "med- icinal clements of thia matchless blood purifier are just as essen- tial to well-balanced health as the nutritious elements of the meats, grains, fats and sugars of our daily food" said well-known physician.
 Not only this, but if from the presence of some distributing poi son there is local or general in- terference of nutrition to cause boils, carbuncles, abcesses and kin dred troubles, Purola Syrup sarsap- arilla compound, so direct the local cells that this poison is re- iected and eliminated from their presence.
 Then, too, Purola Syrup Sarsap- .arilla compound, has such specific stimulation on these local cells as to preserve their mutual welfare and a proper relative assistance to each other.
 Not one drop of minerals or drugs is used in its preparation. Ask for Purola Syrup sarsaparilla compound, and just insist upon having it.-Keller Bros. Drug Go. Sole agents for "Purola" Remedies in Skagway.

CORSET CHANGES.

NEW corsets, which will probably be
/ worn next fall, have the bust line
from four to five inches higher. with
more curve at the waist line The hip
line is still straight. Extra width is al
lowed at each side OF the bust, SO that
the diaphragm will have plenty Of room
and prevent the bust from being pushed
up when the wearer is seated. The cor
set top is wider than formerly. because
the figure has spread in way which
requires extra width in the corset be-
low the shoulders. and there is more
fullness in the back of these higher
bust corsets. The skirt part is some
what shorter
In other respects corsets are the
same, showing the large waist. the
straight hip. the fiat back and the use
of flexible boning and of soft materi-
ais. which will last through the present
season anyway. The corset of the pres
ent season laces in front, with a
straight-boned goring and soft sections
of elastic, tricot, netting, or other open
mesh material. down the center back to
a width of about two inches.
Elastic bands and gussets are used in
the back at the lower edge, SO that the
corset hugs the figure snugly in un-
broken lines, thus making the corset
edge invisible through the softest
gown. The skirt of dancing corset is
pliable material. with a free use of
elastic bands, in sections. in lacers.

itself.

cially the pattern of black silk with mar
row white stripes about an inch apart
Smart street dresses are made in black
and white checks. varying from the shep-

A prize will be offered to the

Stock Shippers
Will Be Heard
Hearing Before Interstate Com
merce Commission Oct. 81, on
Important Matter

A matter Of considerable in
terest to farmers and the smaller
stock shippers of the state, more
particularly in the western part
of it, will be the hearing before
Examiner Dow Of the Interstate
commerce commission at Bis
ma1ck, October 21. The hearing
will be- held at the Federal build
ing at 200 p. IN.
Some time since, the railroads
of the west gave notice Of an
inte ntion, on a near date, that
they would withdraw the privi-
lege heretofore granted shippers
of live stock to load and unload
at one or more places until the
shipment was complete or deliv-
cred. On representations being
made, to the state railroad COM
mission that the abrogation Of
this privilege would work a
hardship to- stock shippers, the
commission asked the interstate
commerce commission to suspend
the proposed rule until the shipp
els could be heard, and this re-
quest was granted and a. hear
ing set before the national COM
mission late in November. Other
states have also taken up this
matter and as consequence Ex-
aminer Dow has been sent out
to hold local hearings.
AS this particularly affects
the smaller shippers Of stock, it
is hoped those that will be in
juned by the proposed change
in the rules will attend the Bis
1narck hearing, as it is incumb-
ent upon them to- prove their
case.

division never was proposed until
this fall.
But the Hanna county propos-
ed division, unlike the other pro-
posed divisions, was not gotten
up by bunch of political trick
sters but as the result of COM,
promise. 1t was gotten up with
the sole object in view Of putt
ing a division before the people
which treated both the old and
the new counties alike
and one which gave no heed to,
county seat fights or the POI
litical bfutures Of some certain
politicians.
It divides the county into two
almost equal parts, geographic:
ally, and the lines were drawn,
with the object in view of Civ
ing the best possible working
county to- both the new and.
old counties. If the Hanna coun-
ty division carries itI will sett-'
lie once and for all time division
in this county and eliminate any,
chance in the future for a
division like that of the old
Stevenson roposition slipping
through.

ize that the county is too large |
at the present time and that,
the people in the north part OF
the county have good grounds
for kick. One trip to- the.
county seat from any place along
the north line Of the county costs
a farmer as much, as the taxes
on one quarter section of land,
amounts to for one year. It
seems to- be the sentiment of the
people throughout the county
that the question should be: s'ett-
led this tall and eliminate ex-
rensive campaigns and law
suits over subjects.-Max Enter

COUNTY DIVISION BEFORE
PEOPLE IN NOVEMBER

That the people of Mclean
county feel that the time has
come to divide the county, goes,
with out saying. The question has
been the bone Of contention for
a number of years and the peo-,
pie in general feel that it is
about time it is settled once and;
for all. At various times dur
ing the past eight years the;
question has been raised and di7
vision proposed and up to the
present time the voters have.
kept the county intact, due more
to the fact that the divisions
proposed were palpably so un,
fair than to any real opposition
to county division. The real
trouble, has always been that in
proposing division no thought
was ever given to the real well
fare of the resident. of the coun-
ty the only aim Of the promoters
Of county division being seeming
ly to divide the county in such
a way as to give political pres
tige to the promoters and to
build up a county about their
TOWN with the object Of getting
the county seat for their home
tbwn, no thought being given as
to what condition it would leave
the part Of the county in, which
was not included in the division.
Six years, ago a division was up
betoresthe people known as the
Stevens, n county division which
would have left bootleg in the
northeast corner Of the county
which would have been an ever
lasting disgrace. not only to-
Stevenson county but to Mclean
as we'll, had it carried, which It
very nearly did. Again this
spring a division was started
for a proposed county of Robin.
scn which would have stripped
Mclean county of practically a!1
its territory leaving them barely
enough townships to constitute
a legal county. After the Han
ma county proposition had been
circulated and it was plainly see
that the Robinson county petit
tson was dead, the Robinson
county boosters went down to
Washburn and offered to give
the old county a number of town
ships on the northeast corner
if the south end Of the county
would only stand by them in the
fight, but the people in the south
part of the county would have
nothing to do with the PROPOSE
tion, for it made a worse boot,
leg than the old Stevenson coun-
ty proposition did.
So it. can be plainly seen that
the people are anxiaus to have
the matter settled, if possible,
at the coming election. There
has been a strong sentiment IN
the north part of the county fol
county division for a long time,
as the county is too large A
large PERCENTAGE of the voters
in the north part of the county
will vote for division in any form
but the only thing that has saw
ed the county SO far was the
fact that fair and equitable
