REAR-END COLLISION
Four Persons Hurt When Street Cars
Crash Together.

Just a few yards from the spot
where little Jesse Weaverling was run
down and killed by a racing auto two
weeks ago, four persons were injured
when a west-bound Gage Park car
crashed into a state hospital car, also
west bound, on the corner of Sixth
and Western avenues.
The injured were: John Coyne,
aged rs, sanitary policeman, back
and elbow slightly wrenched; Mrs.
Frances Thompson, eyed so, slight in
juries to her right side; Mrs. Sarah
Keller, 304 Hancock street, badly
shaken up, and Mrs. Mamie johnson,
1876 Story, neck wrenched.
The cars were running close togeth-
err and when Motorman Joe Degen-
hardt, on the state hospital car, sud-
denly slackened to pick up two pas
sengers who were running for the car,
Motorman Young of the Gage Park
car, was unable to stop in time. The
brakes refused to check the car on ac-
car smashed into the head car, break
ing it's windows and badly shaking up
the passengers.
The injured were all in the state
hospital car. Coyne who was stand
ing on the rear platform was the most
severely injured and was taken into
Fritton's grocery in a daZed condition.
He revived soon and was able to pro-
coed alone to his home, 412 Monroe
street. All of the other persons in
jured were able to go home unassisted.
Coyne found several pieces of glass
from the broken vestibule window of
the Gage park car in his overcoat

To Get Rid of Wrinkles
and Bad Compilations

1t is more important now than during
the period of profuse Precipitation. to keep
the pores clean. All cosmetics clog the
pores In cool weather this interferes
greatly with elimination of waste mate
rial, injuring instead of aiding the com
plexion. Ordinary mercolized wax serves
all the purposes of creams. powders and
rouges, giving far better results; 1t actu-
ally peels off an offensive skin, at the
same time unclogging the pores. Minute
particles of scarf skin come off day. by
day, causing not the least discomfort
Gradually the healthy, younger skin be-
meath peeps out and in less than
fortnight you have a loyelier complexion
than you ever dreamed of acquiring. Mer-
colized wax, obtainable at any drugstore,
is spread on nightly like cold cream and
washed off mornings One ounce usually
suffices.
For removing wrinkles, without stop
ping the pores with pasty stuff, here's
never-failfng formula: One ounce pow
dered saxolite. dissolved in oneEhalf pint
witch hazel. Battle the face in this daily
for awhile; every line will vanish com
pleteiy. Even the first application gives
surprising results.-Advertfsemen

LONDON IN DOUBT
Waits for Official Returns on
Election in e. S.
Britons Deeply Interested in
Outcome of Contest.

London. Nov 10.-London is in
doubt. London is still Withholding
judgment on who won the American
presidential election and is waiting
anxiously for final official returns.
London thought it knew Wednes-
day morning when Reuters flashed
unqualifiedly that Hughes had been
elected. But today Reuters flashed
unqua1ifiedly that Wilson had been
reelected. So the Evening News, to
be perfectly fair, reproduced both
Reuter- flashes. under the head "Reut-
or says both elected"
When the news that Hughes had
been elected was turned loose, Presi-
dent Wilson drew few hot editorial
shots-one was 'Spineless idealist.'
Now that things are doubtful, edito-
rial opinion is suspended. Crowds
have flocked around the bulletin
boards since Tuesday.
Before the election all England,
newspapers, officials and plain citi-
zens, were interested to an almost I'M
believable degree, but held aloof.
There seemed to be gentleman
agreement not to take sides even in
the omestic affairs of the United
States.
"It is not our affair; we have trou-
bles enough of our own without mix
ing in with Americas problem,
seemed expressive of the public state
of mind.

Superintendent's Force.

A resolution addressed to the mem
bers of the legislature was passed this
afternoon, at the agriculture round ia
BILE, asking that another inspector be
added to the force in the office of the
superintendent of public instruction.
This inspector would have charge of
the rural high schools of the state and
would be placed in special charge of
the organization and conducting of the
courses in agriculture in secondary
schools
He also would have charge, under
the direction of the state board of ed
ucation, of the certification and ap-
prova1 of the teachers of agriculture
and of the approval of high school
courses in agriculture for which state
aid shall be granted. He would have
charge of and the approval of all 9TH
.er high school courses in agriculture
The title of this officer would be in
spector of rural high schools and su-
pervisor of secondary agriculture.
1t is declared that the force at the
command of the state superintendent
Of public instruction is not sufficient
to allow any one person to give con-
siderable fraction of his time to the
inspection and supervision Of rural
high schools or to special work in ag-
ricultural and Industrial education.

NURSE HAS SMALLPOX
Miss Lois Brewer of st. Francis Hos
pital Removed to Brothers Home.

The second case of smallpox in st.
Francis hospital was discovered Thurs
day by DIR. Herbert L. Clark, city
physician, who diagnosed the illness
of Miss Lois Brewer, nurse, as small
pox This is the second case to be
discovered in the hospital in two
weeks.
Miss Brewer was removed immedi-
ately to the home of brother living
at 1919 Polk street, and the house
there was placed under quarantine.
Fear of contagion was expressed by
people in the vicinity of Miss Brewers
home but DIR. Clark strongly denies
any possibility of an epidemic.
Miss Brewer is thought to have con-
tracted smallpox while attending the
case of George E. Kimmerie, an adj

& Pacific railway, who was taken to
the city detention hospital She has
been closely watched for signs of the
disease and four days ago when she

The Easiest Way
To End Dandruff

There is one sure way that never
fails to remove dandruff completely
and that is to dissolve it. This de-
stroys it entirely. To do this, just get
about four ounces of plain, ordinary
liquid arvon; apply it at night when
retiring; use enough to moisten the
scalp and rub it in gently with the
finger tips.
BY morning, most if not all, of your
dandruff will be gone, and three or
four more applications will complete
ly dissolve and entirely destroy every
single sign and trace of it, no matter
how much dandruff you may have.
You will find, too, that all itching
and digging of the scalp will stop in
stantly and your hair will be fluffy,
lustrous, glossy, silky and soft, and
look and feel a hundred times better.
You can get liquid arvon at any
drug store. 1t is inexpensive, and
four ounces is all you will need. This
simple remedy has never been known
to fail.-Advertisem

advice as to whether the Adamson s.

that he had been advised by counsel
that the law was unconstitutional and
that the law deprives the defendant
and other railroads of the right and
liberty of contract, without due
process of law, and that the Adam

BETTER THAN CALOMEL
Thousands Have Discovered DIR.
Edwards Olive Tablets are
Harmless Substitute

DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets-the sub
stitute for calomel-are mild but sure
laxative, and their effect on the liver is
almost instantaneous. They are the re-
suit of DR.. Edwards determination not
to treat liver and bowel complaints with
calomel. His efforts to Danish it brought
out these little olive-colored tablets.
These pleasant little tablets do the
good that ca1ome1 does, but have no bad
after effects. They don't iniure the
teeth like strong liquids or calome1.
They take hold of the trouble and
quickly correct it. Why cure the liver
at the expense of the teeth? Calomel
sometimes plays havoc with the gums.
So do strong liquids. 1t is best not to
take calomel but to let DIR. Edwards

Await Official Count.
Chairman Wilcox Issues State
ment This Afternoon.

New York, Nov. 10.-Chairman
WILCOX, refusing to concede the cleo
ton of President Wilson, said today
in formal statement issued after a
conference with other Republican
campaign managers, that the result
still depends upon the vote of few
close states and that the returns thus
far announced are in most states un-
official and may be changed by the
official count.
1.-The result still depends upon the
votes of few close states,'' Mr.. Will
cox's statement read. TT must be
borne in mind that the returns thus
far announced are in most states un-
official and may be changed by the
official count required by the laws of
those states. Twice during the unoffi-
cial computation yesterday in Califor-
MIA mistakes in addition were an
nounced from the state substantially
changing figures previously given.
Where the vote is as close as that
reported in several states it may well
be that material changes will result
from the official count. We owe it to
the country to take all necessary steps
to see that an exact and honest count
of the votes is made. When the cur
rent seemed to be running against Mr..
Wilson on Wednesday, the Democrat
managers their lnlSIltiOIl

state.

on the range, the charge was made
that st. Louis county, in which the
