iNFANTlLE PARALYSIS AND
MAlLoRDERIsM.

A recent issue Of the Register and
Leader Of Mobile, Ala, contained the
following rather startling letter from
DR.. r. NJ. Cochran, county health Of
ficer Of Perry county, Mississippi
which constitutes a new blow at the
mail order houses:
II notice in the columns of the
Register that the two-year-old child
Of Mr.. and Mrs. David Halliwell OF
Whistler, Ala, is suffering with Q
case Of infantile paralysis, and that
the family had recently been visiting
in Richton, which makes an appear
ance that the child might have caught
the disease in Richton.
Il will say. however. for the bene'
tit Of the public, that We have no in
fantile paralysis either In Richton or
in Perry county. am Of the opinion
that the majority OF cases OF infan
tile paralysis. especially those OF
cuntry districts, come through mail
order packages from New York or
other cities by people ordering
articles from the large mail order
houses in the city where the infec
ton exists. and think Il would be a
good plan for people to abandon the
practice as long as the disease exists

TO THE sPiTTERs.

Now that all the people are enthu-
siastically interested in cleaning up
Bryan and putting the city in first
class sanitary condition, 1t is not very
encouraging to see the sidewalks and
the corners of buildings covered with
great yellow splotches resembling the
map of Europe, Asia and Africa,
where some devote of the weed has
deposited (squirted) the salivaic ac-
foundations from his soul-satisfying
cud. For the benefit Of those who
chew and who spit where they listeth,
we quote the following from State
Press for their benefit:
1T is bad enough to chew tobacco
when the chewing is done decently
and secretively, but to chew tobacco
publicly and squirt 1t openly upon
sidewalks and buildings and stair
ways and steps is to convict oneself
OF a boorishness which ought to hui
initiate ones children and one chill
dren's children to the fourth genera
ton. How can an otherwise sensible
and generous and kindly-disposed
man be possessed OF SO primitive
conception Of cleanliness as permits
him to saturate his surroundings
with expectorate tobacco Juice? Man,
II you must chew tobacco, chew It in
Extensively. Build yourself a pen.

NEW YORK TO LONDON BY LAND

The old project Of tunnel under
the Straits Of Dover, to link England
and France, has been revived. Lead
ing men in both nations see that II
such a tunnel existed British troops
munitions and military supplies could
be sent through 1t safely, and this
would release a fleet Of war vessels
and transports on duty in the channel
and let them work elsewhere. II
seems probable now that as soon as
the war is over the tunnel will be
built. II is estimated that such a
tunnel would be thirty.five miles
long and would cost s50ooo,Ooo.

To Remove Roughness,
Chaps, Freck!es, Lines

If your skin is chapped, rough or
harsh, dab q liberal amount of mer-
colized wax on the face and allow it
to remain over night. When you
wash off the wax in the morning,
fine, f1aky, almost invisible PARTICLES
Of cuticle come with it. Repeating
this daily, the entire outer film skin
is soon absorbed, but so gradually,
there's not the slightest hurt or in
convenience. Even the ugliest COM
plexion yields to this treatment. The
underlying skin which forms the new
complexion is so fresh and youthful
looking you IL marvel at the transfer
nation. It's the only reliable way to
actually discard an aged, faded, freck-
led, blotchy or weather-beaten com
plexion. One ounce of mercolized wax,
Drocurable at any drugstore, is sufi-
cient in most cases.
If wind and cold make you squint
and frown, you're bound to cultivate
wrinkles and crows feet. To over
come these, battle the face in a solu-
ton made by dissolving an ounce of
powdered ssxolite in a half pint
witch hazel.

One of the two famous violins be-
longing to John S. Moore has gone
from Keokuk to Des Moines. Mr..
Moore found a man wo-rhy OF 1t In
Arcule Sheasby, professor OF violin
in the Highland Park college OF music
and transferred the instrument to him
the other day. .
This famous instrument, described
in catalogues Of premier vfolins, Is the
handiwork of Zosimo Bergonzi, Of Gre
mona, and is dated 1856. 1t is n or
the best, If not the very best Example
of this celebrated maker. It is in a
perfect state Of preservation, with
beautiful varnish n has all the
sweet liquid quality of the Cremona
violins. AS a o instrument 1t Is
especially fine as all the notes are
perfect and the quality Is evenly di-
vided on the lour strings. 1t gives a
beautiful tone without n effort OF
the player upon the strings II has
excited the high admiration Of artists
like Ludwig. Becker, Max Bendix and
Herbert Butler, who have played up
on this instrument while it was the
property of Mr.. Moore
Fiddle Worth a House and Lot.
Mr.. Moore has had this famous VIC
lin for about forty years and bought
it from John Hornsteiner, a well
known violin maker and repairer In
Chicago in the last generation.
The violins made by the Bergonzi
family are constantly increasing in
value and this instrument is easily
worth $500 or more today; Mr..
Moore could have sold it several
times at that price, but refused.
There is a fine little story of how
this Keokuk connoisseur devoted this
old violin to the service of art and
scorned dollars in order to assist IA
real artist.
Moore Meete a Master VloIin'st.
Upon a business trip to Des Mofnes
a few months ago. Mr.. Moore carried
with him this violin n also a still
greater one, the value OF which is
over $4,000. which he has had for ten
years. He took them to the capital
city at the request Of Dean Frank
Nagel. of the Highland Park college
OF mrsic. who had heard them, in or
der that Professor Sheasby might play
, upon them. AS Sheasby lovingly drew
the bow over these wonderful instru-
ments he became very enthusiastic

MARRIAGE CENSE
ISSUED
CupId's Emissarles at Court House
Issued Three During the
Day.

Saturday is coming into Its own
again as the banner day for marriage
licenses if the record of yesterday Is
a criterion. For a time last year Sat
urday was about the only day on
which licenses were issued. Three
were issued yesterday. They were
issued to the following:
Oscar D. High. q, Hazel E. Kite,
10, Keokuk.
Mark Clark, IS; Lenora Printy, II.
Keokuk.
John w. Hughes. 81; Sarah Lisen-
bel, As, Kewanee.
Mark Clark and Lenora Printy were
united in marriage by James S. Bur
rows, justice of the peace. John W.
Hughes and Sarah Lisenbel, the Ke-
| vance couple. were united in mar
rage by J. A. Milestone, justice of
the peace. They left on the 1:55
O clock train for Kewanee, where Mr..
| Hughes is engaged in foundry work.

ton. He suggested some rather un-
usual but altogether sane ideas along
this line. For one thing he said that
a teacher had no business waiting un-
til the last month before the term
ended to know whether a pupil was
going to fail, that should have been
known earlier in the course. Another
suggestion he made was that teachers
should not tell pupils they could not
do this subject or that, such state
ments tending to break their ambi-
tton.
Serious Thing to Retard Child.
1t Is a serious thing to have a child
retarded in the elementary courses,
as it lessons the chance that he will
want to continue in the high school
and perhaps college, DIR. Colegrcve
pointed out.
DR.. Colegroye spoke of the advan-
tage Of the motion pictures in school
work. and declared that the next step
would be to open our high schools to
night classes for men and women In
the factory and shop who were not
able to complete their courses.
The speaker prophesied that the
advancement in arts and trades VIII
be as rapid and as constructive fol
lowing the war as was the advance
ment in the engines of destruction
which we are witnessing in the pres
ent great European struggle.
DR.. Colegrove lectured in h after
loon to teachers and patrons and his
talk Friday night followed the motion
picture entertainment at the high
school. He was introduced by q. 5
Patterson at both lectures.
