on girl about three times a week and
then she wouldn't let me come any
more. I asked her what was wrong
and she said that there was nothing
wrong, she was only busy. That is not
true, because I asked to call or invited
her to go somewhere 10 times and she
refused each time without making an
excuse What shall do? BERT.
Find another girl. Probably she
grew tired of you because you called
so often.

WILLIAMS GREAT HARPIST.

No instrument, in a modern sym
phony orchestra, attracts more atten-
ton than the harp. First the beauty
of its form, second the divine quality
Of its tone. But, when watching the
hands of the performer sweeping
gracefully across the broad eXpanse of
strings, it is difficult to realize the ire
mendous difficulties encountered in
playing this beautiful instrument. 1t
is, in fact. one of the most difficult
and complicated of musical instru-
ments TO play on, and while there are
many harpists, there are few good
ones. One of the very best in this
country is Henry James Williams, the
harpist of the Minneapolis Symphony
orchestra which is to appear under
Mr.. Oberhoffer's direction on. May II

TELL OF LOAN SHARK CRUSADE.

K. T. Anderson, cashier of the State
bank, addressed the Tri-City Social
Service club last evening on the cru
SADIE against the loan shark, speak
ing at the April meeting in the tea
room in the Putnam building, Daven-
port. Mr.. Anderson confined his talk
to conditions as he knows they exist
in Rock Island, saying that $500 per-
sons in this city are in the risky and
doubtful responsibility classes of the
business mems rating. These are
largely the people who look to the
loan sharks for help and who are
charged from 6 to II per cent per
month interest He said there is no
excuse for this carelessness in the es-
tablishing of personal credit People
whose credit is not good are that way
because they do not follow the little
simple rules of business. Many a
shark because he feels it is private
and that no one will be the wiser. He
does not know that the lender has no
standing in court, but would forfeit
all interest had he charged an Excess
sive rate of interest. In most states
the loan shark has no real form Of
security. He makes his victims sign
papers, gives them the money and
then attempts to bluff, browbeat or
shame all who do not meet his de-
mands promptly.
AS remedy, he suggested the or
ganization of legal aid society which
seeks to obtain from its clients only
that which is Justly their due. 1t Is
not a charitable organization; ii seeks
only to obtain for the client Justice
Mr.. Anderson said it would not be
difficult in Rock Island to interest say
a dozen reputable attorneys to handle
cases without charge for services
through legal aid society. Through
such an organization many legal en-
tanglements would be avoided and it
would also be a warning to those who
might be inclined to take advantage
of the poor and the one ignorant of
his rights He spoke also of num-
Der Of organizations scattered about
the country that make loans on good

Dear Mrs. Thompson: % My hands
and arms are always red and / have
tried many different lotions and creams
and nothing seems to help When my
hands are little cold they get a blue
black and blue. Will you please tell
me something that | can do-some-
thing that is harmless?
ca My face is some days Just COW
cred with funny brown spots Then
they disappear in a very short time.
l do not think they are freckles be-
cause they do not look like them.
What can / do for my skin?
80 Is the recipe all right for the
eyelashes which you gave recently for
eyebrows?
A FOREIGN BLOND.
ID Your circulation is bad Get a
complexion brush and scrub your
hands and arms with it night and
morning. A good lotion for softening
and whitening the hands and arms is
made from one ounce of glycerine, two
of bay rum, 20 drops of carbolic acid
and enough perfume to make it smell
agreeable. l have found this lotion
better than anything I have ever used.
90 The brown spots are caused from
your liver or stomach. A cathartic
should be resorted to if the liver has
been inactive and some kind of blood
purifier should be taken. Many per-
sons like sassafras tea as a purifier.
1t is made by sleeping two tablespoon
fuls of the dried root, broken fine, in
three pints of boiling water for 20
minutes. 1t should be drunk freely
through the day. Eating pineapples is
also recommended, for their juice has
beneficial effect upon the blood and
SKIN, and some people find that if it is
rubbed on discolored skin it will re-
move the blemish.
60 Yes.
Dear Mrs. thompson: "a We are
two girls Of IS and IS years. One of
us has boy friend in a distant town
who wishes to introduce one of his
| friends to us. Would it be proper to
do it by mail?

year-old girl to wear blue-black crepe
de chine dress for her best wear?

the Progressives met in Dover also,
and endorsed the ticket named by the
lanti-Organization forces, and the en-
tire Republican tickets as named in

ty organization candidates; Fisher, Of
Wyoming. for lieutenant governor;
Charles j. Luff, of West Dover, for
State Auditor, and A. A. Watson. of
Dover, for Insurance Commissioner,
all of whom the Independents declare
