To Improve Expression
As Well As Complexion

No face is really beautiful that
lacks expression. Do you realize that
continual use Of powders and creams
tends to spoil pliancy Of skin and elias
ITCHY of expression? Why not QUIT
cosmetics, use something better,
which won't clog the pores or make
the skin dry, pasty or oily? Ordinary
mercolized wax acts quite differently
from any cosmetic 1t wonderfully
improves any complexion, giving it
life and expression. BY gradually,
harmlessly peeling off the thin veil of
surface skin, it brings to view pure,
soft, spotless complexion, delicately
beautiful and youthful. Every drug
gist has this wax it is seldom more
than an ounce is needed 1t is spread
on nightly like cold cream and washed
off mornings. In a week or two the
transformation is complete.
Wrinkles do not of course enhance
the expression. Neither do the pasty
things many use to eradicate them. A
treatment free from all objection is
made by dissolivng / OF. powdered
saxolite III II pint witch hazel; use
as wash lotion. This soon removes
even the most obstinate wrinkles.

burg as their college home. Most col
lege boys are we'll under 81 years Of
age when they assume the rank and
responsibility Of freshman. Many
of them do not become Of voting age
until after their senior year. To these
a four-year education at Knox college
must come without side instruction in
the art of pocketing ivory spheres in
any of the several pool parlors OF the
college city.
Professor John Leonard Conger has
so ordered and Professor Conger Is
mayor of Galesburg. Last month when
DR.. Conger took the oath of Office as
the citys' executive he swore that he
would enforce the ordinances of the
municipality. One of these laws IS
that no minors shall be allowed in
pool halls. Since most college youths
are minors, this law appealed especial
ly to the college mayor. He decided
to put into practice some of the NUM-
cipal government ideas which he has
preached at Knox for eight years. Pri-
vate conferences with every pool room
keeper in town followed. Licenses
were held up until every proprietor
had agreed to behave. They are all
living up to the ordinance now.
College youths who might be at
tracted to spend idle moments in
these places of somewhat questionable
atmosphere now have more time for
college studies, amusements. activi-
ties and enterta inments.

Local Man Assists Hotel and Police
Officers in Getting Name of
Guest Who
Died.
RECOGNIZED SNAPSHOTS
Some Mystery Seems to be Connected
With History Of Man Who Dropped
Dead In Hotel Last
Week.

George E. Radasch of this city ma
terially assisted the management of a
hotel In Cedar Rapids, and the police
OF that city in identifying the body Of
a travelling man found dead in the
Magnus hotel.
The Cedar Rapids Gazette has the
following story concerning the mat
ter:
Considerable mystery has developed
concerning the personality and the
identity OF the man known as w. T..
Frohman. who died suddenly at the
Magnus hotel, Tuesday evening as a
result of stroke Of apoplexy. From
information received today from the
Fidelity and Casualty company of
New York considerable doubt has
been expressed as to whether the
mans name is Frohman or not. Iden-
LITIGATION and registration cards car
ried by the dead man and issued by
the Fidelity and Casualty company
were found among his effects and the
numbers sent to the company head
quarters. A telegram from the COM
pany to the hotel brought the rather
mystifying intelligence that no ma:
by the name Of Frohman was carriei
on the books of the company and that
the numbers forwarded were held by
H. F. Fishman and Charles Hodges.
Whether these names were aliases or
nor or whether the name "F'rohman"
was an alias cannot be determined
until the receipt Of more definite in
formation.
The facts in the case became more
involved when George e. Radasch Of
Keokuk, a travelling man who had
known the dead man for nine months.
looked over his effects. He recognized
a view OF hotel at Quincy, ILL.,,
among some kodak pictures and the
hotel was queried by the Magnus
hotel management A telegram re-
cefved this morning said that the
mans home was In New York city.
He had registered at the Magnus some
time ago from st. Louis and this later
information served only to mystify
further those who are endeavoring to
find the mans relatives. A careful
examination of his personal effects
throws no light on the situation. More
than 200 papers which he carried We're
examined but they contain no addi
tional information.
Employees of the hotel say that the
man never spoke of his personal af-
fairs to them and commercial men
who knew him say that his mail was
never received at the hotel but was
delivered to him at the general deliv-
cry window. The body still Is being
held at the Beatty undertaking par

BUY-IT-NOW
These Two Folks Bought II Now
A Story of Real Life

Listen to little story of real life.
A man and his wife had often talked
of buying home. The man has job
and ,earns steady wages. One day,
about six weeks ago, these two said to
one another:
"Let's buy it now.n
So they did. Got a bargain. Paid
some money down and let.the balance
ride on installments.
You remember that we had clear
weather for about ten days last month.
These folks newly bought house need.
ed painting and some repairs and adj.
ditions. So they said;
Let's have it sdone now And
they did.
Man drew some Of his wages in adj
vance. Whole job cost about $3.50, di-
vided between painter and carpenter.
They got Through Tuesday-and the
next day it rained. Been raining
most of the time ever since. If the job
had not been done "now," il wouldn I
be done for some time to come.
What followed? The painter took
his money and paid his overdue
butchers and groeer's bill.
stGeen' he said, al was glad to make
the rounds and square up. Now Pm
all right till dry weather comes and
there's outside work TO do
The carpenter took his money and
did the same thing. The old chap
who cleaned up the yard bought a pair
of new shoes and paid little bill al
the grocery.
And when these honest chaps had
all had their benefit from this small
sum of $780, a real estate man came
around and offered the man and wife
5000 more than they had just paid for
the property. He did thst-right in
dull times.
The moral of this little true tale
sticks out like sore thumb.

New York.-While thousands OF
men. women and children eheered him
almost continuously. President Wilson
reviewed 5000 officers and men of the
Atlantic Fleet and several hundred
naval militia men here. He was cheer,
ed again when he spoke at a luncheon
OF the Mayors Committee in the Ho,
tel Biltmore. His was the only speech
OF the day and II evidently pleased
his hearers for they expressed their
approval time and time again. In
part the President said:
"The interesting and inspiring thing

asks nothing for herself except what

must desire

ment upon which are written the
rights of liberty and Justice and strips
of blood split to vindicate those rights.
and then, in the corner, prediction of
the blue serene into which every ma
ton may swim which stands for these
great things.
"These things now brood over the
river. this spirit now moves with the
men who represent the nation in the.
navy, these things will move upon
the waters in manoeuvres; no threat
lifted against any man, against any ma
ton, against any interest. but just a
great solemn evidence that the force
of America is the force of moral prin-
eiple, that there is not anything else
that she loves and that there is not
anything else for which she will con.
tend"
After the luncheon he reviewed the
fleet from the deck of the naval yacht
Mayfiower. In the evening he dined
aboard the Flagship Wyoming and
afterward watched the water carnival
and the boat races along a course IL
lumined by the searehlights of the
