know how, and the nttractiveness OF
the inscription Is limited only by the
artistic ability OF the individual.
Cover the place where you wish TO
write with a thin coating OF melted
beeswax. When the wax is cold write
plainly with any pointed instrument.

Then mix one ounce OF muriatic acid

acids nre deadly poisons). and apply

OUR SHRINKING SUN.
Ms Diameter Becomes About Four
Miles Less Each Century.

Miles Less EACH lehtury.
There arc various theories to account
for the enormous store of heat and
light In the sun. The theory now gen.
orally accepted by physicists is that
the gradual contraction of the sun in
cooling is the chief source of apparent
inexhaustible energy. 1t has been cal
culated that at the present rate Of ex-
penditure of heat the suns diameter
would contract four miles In a century,
and in few millions of years 1t may
become as dense as the earth.
The sun is supposed to be composed
of much the same materials as the
earth, except that they are at a much
higher temperature. About forty OF
the seventy terrestrial elements have
been identified by the spectroscope as
existing in the vapors around the sun
Astronomers think that they find traces
there of very few substances not al
ready known. Even these may be dis
covered on the earth some day.
II has been calculated that the heat
thrown on q square mile exposed at
hpon uuuci tps equotot Mouiu hicis AZ
an hour $4,000 tons of ice. This amount
has to be multiplied fifty million times
to arrive at the quantity of heat re-
ceived by the earth's surface during a
single hour. Yet this enormous supply
Is even less than one two-thousand-
millionth part Of what the sun pours
forth in all directions in space. IL
stands to reason that this mconceiva-
Bile outgiving of beat must be accom-
panied by gradual though impercepti-
bic diminution in the size OF the SUM-
Press.

HOW TO CLEAR
away PIMPLES

Battle your face for several minutes
with resinol soap and hot water, then
apply a little resinol ointment very
gently. Let this stay on ten minutes,
and wash off with resinol soap and
more hot water, finishing with dash
of cold water to close the pores. DO
this once or twice a day, and you will
be astonished to find how quickly the
healing resinol medication soothes and
cleanses the pores, removes pimples and
blackheads, and leaves the complexion
clear and velvety.
Resinol ointment and resinol soap
stop itching instantly and speedily
heal skin humors, sores, burns, wounds
and chatting. Sold by all druggists.

SOAP FOR BABY,s TENDER SKIN

The regular use Of resinol soap is
usually enough to prevent those dis
tressing rashes and chafngs to which
most babies are subject. This is SO,
first, because resinol soap is absolutely
pure and free from harsh alkali, and
second, because it contains the resinol
medication, on which so many physi.
clans rely for skin troubles.

Main street at about 1890 Tuesday,
April 6, 1915, after a two weeks ILL

When first taken ill the parents and
friends of little Joe had no thought
whatever of his ailments becoming
serious The gastritis developed in a
few days and then only did it become
apparent that the little sufferer was in
a precarious condition. Every effort
known to medical skill was made IN
his behalf but all to no purpose. The
end came at the hour above mentioned.
Joe was one of the brightest little
fellows in the city. known and beloved
by all There is general sorrow at
his sad and sudden death.
Funeral services were held at the
home at 10 o'clock yesterday forenoon
under direction of Rev. Cramps of the
Presbyterian church and Rev. obert
of the Christian church. and inter
ment was in Delta cemetery. Inde-

City Asks Annual Tax
Of The State Arn0ry

The city authorities have recently
demanded a yearly license fee of $50
from the Delta National Guard COM
pany now occupying the opera house
as an armory and thus has come a
controversy Of much more than aver
age moment The city authorities
insist that this sum must be paid or
there shall be no more shows OF en-
tertainments of any kind presented
in the armory opera house.
Captain Charlesworth, of the Delta
company. is also insistant in his con
tention that the state and union
cannot be assessed a tax in such
manner by local town authorities.
The captain took the matter up with
Attorney General FarTar and other
authorities in Denver with the result
that ruling is soon TO be submitted.
He was asked to forward a copy of
the Delta city ordinance relating to
such licenses and since this ordinance
has been looked into the Denver off
GERS have wired the information that
Delta cannot impose such tax on army
quarters and thus the matter rests
until the written decision has been
forwarded.
