HOW TO CLEAR
AWAY P|MPLES

Battle your face for several minutes
with resinol soap and hot water, then
apply little resinol ointment very
gently. Let this stay on ten minutes,
and wash of with resinol soap and
more hot water, finishing with a dash
of cold water to close the pores. Do
this once or twice 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

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 80,
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.

OFFICERS CAPTURE MAN
AFTER A LONG CHASE

John Warthen was arrested yester-
day morning by Constable D. NJ.
Scivally and Deputy Sheriff George
Summers, after an exciting chase
from the Hely Rock Crusher across
the fields toward the river
Warthen was wanted for having
struck Miss Herzinger, a relative of
his wife who was demonstrating with
him for some of his alleged miscon-
duct toward his family. Complaint
was filed in Judge Willer's court yes
terday morning, and when it was
learned that Warthen was seeking to
make his escape, and had gone TO the
rock crusher to wait for a passing
freight train, the officers starred in
pursuit in an automobile.
When they approached TIE plant
Warthen and John Neal, companion
dashed out from ti:a shelter of the
building and attempted to conceal
themselves behind an old boiler.
When Officer Summers left the car
and started towards them Warther
ran away. The officer pursued him,
and when he refused to obey the
command to stop, fired two shots to
brighten him into obedience. He ran
until he reached the protection OF an
old house near the river, and tiIen re-
alizing that escape was impossible,
waited for the officer to come up,
when he surrendered.
He seemed anxious to have the mat
ter ended, and expressed Il desire tc
enter a plea of guilty and pay his
fine. Judge Willer was called over the
telephone, the plea accepted and upon
payment of 81 the prisoner was re-
leased. He stated that he intended to
board the first train south and leave
the town.

"WAMPUS" NEISWONGER IS
SURPRISED ON BIRTHDAY
HOuseful Of Women Invade His Home
Armed With Food For Him.

A pleasant surprise party was CIV
en- Tuesday evening at the home of
Cornelius Ambrose Neiswonger, in
commemoration of his 41st birthday.
The affair was arranged carefully
by Mrs. Neiswonger, assisted by a
number of neighbors, and was carried
out in such a manner as to work
complete surprise.
Mrs. Neiswonger had advised her
husband that she intended to give
rag lacking on Tuesday afternoon and
expected a large number of neighbor-
hood friends to attend. In order that
they might be properly entertained
she prepared big ham and busted
herself in various ways making ready
for the reception.
Tuesday afternoon when Mr.. Neis-
wonger phoned from work and asked
if any guests had arrived, he was in
formed that there were Is women
present and that the rag lacking was
going on merrily. That evening
when his daily labors were finished,
he repaired to his home, thinking that
the party was all over. After eating
his supper some neighbors dropped
in and asked Mrs. Neiswonger to go
with them to the show. She declined
the offer, and the visitors remained. A
short time later another small rum
Der appeared under similar pretext,
and when they remained, Mr.. Ambrose
was still unsuspecting, but when Mr..
and Mrs. j. H. Price arrived, Mr..
Price exposed the secret when he ask
ed "Wampus" his age.
About that time the orchestra that
had been waiting with some 40 guests
at Anthony Brennecke's, nearby
neighbor, started to serenade. Mr.
Neiswonger was no longer deceived.
He selected an imposing position from
which he delivered a speech Of well
come.
When the many choice edibles that
had been prepared for the occasion
and brought in by the neighbors, had
been consigned to place of security
to await final disposition at the mid
night feast, everyone got busy and
cleared the rooms of very obstacle
that could interfere with the dancing
which started with energy and con-
tinued for hours.
Almost 100 people were present,
and the event proved delight to all
who participated.

DALTON'S STORE IS
THREATENED BY fire
Firemen Chop Hole in Floor and
Then Squirt Water on
Small Blaze.

Fire was discovered in the rear of
DaltOn's Drug Store, at the corner of
Broadway and Main streets yesterday
afternoon at about l o'clock, and be-
fore its location could be ascertained
it reached such proportions that for 4
short time the entire building was
threatened with destruction.
c. N. Freeman, while passing the
premises, was attracted by the I'M
mense volume of smoke that was
pouring out of the rear windows, and
at about the same time, Will Wash
ington, porter in the Eagles Club
rooms on the second floor, was also
attracted by the smoke. Mr. freeman
hurried into the drug store and adj
vised DR.. Dalton that his store was
burning. He then hurried to the rear
of the building and when he opened
door to a small room which was
used for general storage purposes, the
flames burst through the aperture.
He Immediately closed the door in or
der that the flames might be held in
closer confinement awaiting the ar
rival of the fire department.
The firemen experienced consider
able difficulty in bringing the hose in
to direct play on the flames on ac-
count of the obscure location of the
room in which the blaze was confined,
and some time was required to chop
holes through the floor to permit the
use of the hose in eTtinguishing the
fire.
The fire did but little damage, but
the first and second floors were flood
ed, and great damage resulted from
that cause.
The water stood for q depth Of six
inches on the floor of the Eagles
Club, destroying valuable rugs and
fixtures. 1t lacked through and did
considerable damage to the Dalton
stock of drugs on the floor below.
The total damage is estimated at
about $1,000, with insurance to cover.
