WOMEN SHAVE
UNKNOWINGLY

When women are so unwise as TO use
so-called hair remoVers, they actually
shave unknowingly because such prepare
lions stimulate hair growth after each re-
moval.
The proper way to remove hair is 10
devitaliZe IL. II Is impossible to accom-
plish this result with pastes and rub-on
preparations because they only remove
hair from the surface of the skin. De-
Miracle. the original li1uid depilatory, de
vitalizes hair by attacking Il under the
skin as well as on the skin.
limitations Of DeMiracle are as worthless
o pastes and rub-on preparations because
they lack certain ingredients that DeMIr-
acle alone contains which give IL the
power 20 rob hair of its vitality-its life
sustaining force.

TODAY and YOU will get the ORIGINAL linuid
ha'r remover. Others are worthless INF
tations-refuse them. Remember. you are

promise of your money being refunded.
DeMracle is the only depilatory that has
a binding guarantee in each package

Nebraska. To help build the road the
United States gave each alternate section
of land for twenty miles on each side of
the track, and besides this loaned the
company $4,000 for each mile across the
prairie and $4,000 for each mile In the
mountains. The road was called the
Union Pacific and the first shovel OF dirt
for its track was thrown in Omaha on
December 2. 1863
There were very great hindrances to be
overcome in building the road. A great
war was going on and It was hard 20
get men. All the iron and most OF the
other material had to be shipped long
distances. The Indians on the plains
killed many OF the workmen, drove off
the horses and cattle and burned the sta
tons. 1t was July Is. 1855. before the
first rails were laid at Omaha. On March
10. 1866. the first sixty miles as far as
North Bend were completed. During that
year the first trains began running TO
Kearney. 1t took nineteen hours to go
from Omaha TO Kearney. II took nine
teen hours TO go from Omaha TO Kearney,
now Buda, and the fare was $40. BY June,
1861. the track had been laid as far as
the west line OF Nebraska, and on May
10, 1862 the builders OF the Union Pacific
from Nebraska met the builders OF the
Central Pacific from California at Prom
ontory Point on the shore of the Great
Salt Lake. Utah. and drove a golden
spike, which completed the railroad and
made a continuous line from the Atlantic
10 the Pacific ocean.
Since that time seven other lines have
been built across the mountains to the
western coast. but 20 Nebraska belongs
the honor Of determining the route for
the first Pacific railroad
Every night and every day great trains
fly along the Platte valley crowded with
passengers for the mountains. the Pacific
coast and the world which lies beyond,
passing on their way the trains loaded
with the teas. the silks, and the woIider-
full handiwork Of Japan. India and China,
the fruit OF California and Oregon. and
the cattle. sheep and minerals from the
mountains. Never a pause In this won

First Thanksgiving Day.
BY Grace L. Moore, Aged 10, Years,
silver Creek Neb Blue Side.

Silver Creek. Neb. Blue Side.
Many. many years ago, when the PHI
grims and the Indians lived IN this eoun-
try, the Indians showed the white men
how to plant and raise corn.
Although the Pilgrims winter was very
cold and damp the summer proved to be
very dry, and the Pilgrims and Indians
corn suffered for want Of rain. SO they
set apart day of prayer and fasting.
Even the Indians hearing that the white
men were going TO pray for rain, watched
the sky anxiously. Soon a gentle rain
came and then the Indians said that the
white mems God had heard their prayers,
too.
Then there followed ten days moisture,
and it looked as though there would be
plentiful harvest crop for the fii-
grims And in November this harvest
was safely gathered.
The Pilgrims felt so grateful for this
that they set a day to give thanks to
God, which they called Thanksgiving day.
After a solemn service they had a great
feast, which ninety Indians attended AT
this dinner they ate wild turkey, which
the colonists shot; pumpkin pie and boiled
potatoes, which the colonlsts raised.
And ever after they kept this day and
called it Thanksgiving day."

The First Railroad

After'Lewis and Clark had found a way
to the Pacific ocean and the early emf
grants to Oregon. California and Utah
had made the great overland wagon
roads across Nebraska and on TO the
western coast, the people began to want
a railroad to the Pacific. The first rail-
road in the United States was built in
1929 at Baltimore. Soon after that a few
people began to talk about a railroad to
the Pacific ocean. 1t was a far-off
dream at first. Nowhere in the world
had a railroad ever been built for so
great a distance or over such high noun
tains. Then there were no white people
living along the way. but instead there
were tribes OF wild Indians. So those
who spoke of building a railroad to the
Pacific were called dreamers. Very few
thought It was possible to build such a
road and still fewer believed that they
would ever live TO see it built
In 1850 Senator Benton Of Missouri in
troduced bill in congress to build a
Pacific railroad BY It the United States
was to give a strip Of land a mile wide
from the Mississippi river TO the Pacific
ocean and the railroad was to be built
in the center Of the mile strip. More peo-
pie began 10 DelleNe IL was possible 10
build railroad to the Pacific. They
began to dispute where II should be
built. Some wanted IL built in the south
and some in the north and some in the
central part Of the United States. The
dispute was so fierce 1t seemed that no
road would be built because the people
would never agree upon its route.
War broke out between the south and
the north in 1851. There vas more need
than ever for a railroad 10 unite the east
with the west. Many surveys had been
made 10 find the best route across the
mountains. The Nebraska way. up the
broad. level valley Of the Platte, was
chosen as the best approach to them. on
the first day Of July. 1852. President
Abraham Lincoln signed the bill which
provided for building the first railroad "a
