DEATH OF MISS
|. ADA |. ROLLINS.
Resident Of keokuk for Forty-three
Years, Passed Away Saturday
Morning at Family
Home.
WAS I'LL FOR SIX MONTHS
Was Born in Frederick City, Maryland
In 1865, Coming to keo-
kuk Seven Years
Later.
WAS I'LL FOR SIX MONTHS

The many friends and acquaintances
of Miss Ada Louisa Rollins have
heard with sincere regret Of the death
Of this highly esteemed woman at the
family home, 1920 Concert street, at
3:40 o'clock Saturday morning, fol-
lowing an illness of six months. Death
was caused by complication OF dis
eases.
Miss Rollins was first taken Ill on
the th;rtieth of last May and was
shortly afterwards taken to st. Jo-
seph's hospital where she underwent
an operation on August Is. For six
weeks she remained at the hospital
most Of the time in critical condi-
ton.
Towards the latter part Of Septem-
Der she was able to be taken to her
home and her friends believed that
she had passed the crisis and was on
the way to recovery. The early part
OF last week, however, she was taken
worse and slowly sank until death
ended her months of suffering.
Through all the days Of her illness
she did not complain, but retained her,
sweet, kindly disposition and her
passing was peaceful
Miss Rollins was widely known In
the business and social life of Keo-
kuk. She was member Of st. Johns
Episcopal church, the Daughters OF
the King society, the P. e. O. chap
ter and the Y. w. c. A. Her life was
a noble, uplifting influence on her
friends and companions. and she pos
sessed a bright. sunny disposition and
had a kind word for all.
Previous to her illness she had been
in the employ of the Sullivan &
Auwerda dry goods store for period
of nine years and before that was con-
nected with several other Keokuk
business houses.
Miss Rollins was born on Nov. 5,
1865, at Frederick City, Maryland,
being fifty years old at the time OF
her death. She came to Keokuk with
her parents when she was seven
years Of age and the remainder Of her
life was spent here.
She attended the grade schools here
and was graduated from the Keokuk
high school in the class of 1886.
Her mother, Mrs. Louisa A. Rollins.
widow Of the late Captain George W.
Rollins, survives, also the following
brothers and sisters: T. Fl. r. Roll
Inns, Keokuk: Mrs. w. H. Knott, Jas
per, Mo-; George L. r. Rollins and F.
r. c. Rollins OF Kansas City. Mo.
The funeral will be held on Mon
day. Rev. John c. Sage. pastor Of st.
Johns church will conduct the SER
vices and burial will be made in Oak
land cemetery.

one ounce OF beta-quinol. This costs
less than any of the so-called tonics
sold, and it's results in making hair
grow, in stopping hair from falling
and giving beautiful head of hair
cannot be equalled. Your comb Will
never have on it tangled mass of
dead, sick hair, and your hair will
grow in great profusion II you will
make up your mind to use this for
mula and absolutely discard every
thing else you may be using as hair
treatment.
MISS PATIENT-You1 never be
able to pinch out all the blackheads
from your face. My positive method
Is to sprinkle some powdered neroxin
on hot wet sponge and rub on the
blackheads After few m oments'
rubbing, wash OF and look In the mir
ror. The difference will startle you.
You can get neroxin at any drug
store.
HANNAH NJ. B.-I am not surprised
that you have failed to remove your
superfluous hairs. The only sure,
thorough way is to dissolve them
away, instead Of burning them off. By
solution, which you can obtain at the
drug store, every hair, the heavy and
the light, simply melts away, and UNI
like other hair removers. leaves no
mark or spot, but leaves the skin soft.
smooth and clear. 1t works without
fail, no matter how sensitive the skin
or how heavy the growth.
MISS HEARTS, am sorry you
could not obtain the "Suratt Face
Powder" at your druggists, but If
Won will address Secretary to Va
Ieska Suratt. Thompson Bldg, Chi
cago," and enclose fifty cents, saying
whether you want white or flesh tint,
my secretary will see that you get it
at once.
WONDERING My following
method is the only safe one for de-
yeloping the bust. Though success in
such development can never be as
sured, the method given is we'll worth
trying. If anything can succeed, this
certainly should. Vacuum cups and
other contrivances should be avoided.
To a half pint of cold water add two
ounces OF ruetone. and half cup OF
sugar. Mix thoroughly. OF this, take
two teaspoonfuls after meals and at
bedtime. You can obtain the ruetone
at the drug store.
MRS. l.. o. R.-Quit those supposed
blood cleansers. and use my simple
formula, which Is a mixture Of twelve
ounces OF sugar dissolved In pint
of water and one ounce OF sarsene.
taken in doses OF three or four tea
spoonfuls three or four times day.
Get the sarsene in the original pack
age, by the ounce, at the drug store.
