TAKING UP CLAIMS
Offers Is Cents on Dollar to
Those Holding Damage
Claims Against 1t.

The Frisco Railroads reorganization
project has been completed and it is
expected that many changes in the
service will be made within a short
time to bring the system up to a
higher standard.
John w. Taylor, the claim agent in
this city, has been authorized to COM
promise all judgments against the
road upon basis of fifteen cents on
the dollar, it became known yesterday.
Lane and Alexander, local attorneys,
who recently won a law suit against
the Frisco, getting Judgment for
$4,000, were offered a settlement yes
terday at the fifteen per cent basis,
but they declined to accept it.
1t is understood that the railroad is
going to settle all outstanding obliga-
tons within the shortest time possible
in order that the sale of the road, as
ordered by the St. Louis Federal
Court, may take place within the next
few weeks.
Il is believed that the roads officials
will recommend that the c. G.. & y.
Railway deal be consummated before
the road is advertised for sale. Prom
inent St. Louis attorneys have said
that the transfer of the Frisco to new
owners would be made troublesome
until the Houck line has been taken
ever in accordance with the agreement
made several years ago between Louis
Houck of this city and the officials of
the Frisco.
1t was recently reported that an
other railroad, anxious to obtain an
entrance to this city, was willing to
negotiate for the purchase of the
C. G. {; \. if it would ag-2c to relin-
quish its claim under its contract
This, it is said, has stimulated the
Frisco's officials in TIE deal.
Unless Mr.. Houck were to consent
70 a compromise with the Frisco,
thereby permitting the Frisco to abro-
gate It's contract, the transfer Of the
Frisco stock would be somewhat han
dicapped because of the Cape Girar-
deauans claim. But from sources that
are considered reliable. the formal
transfer OF the Houck line is expected
to be made within a short time.

CARE OF BABY's HAIR.

To be beauty doctor to your baby,
your most important equipment is
patience. -.
Results may cople surely, but they
will surely come slowly.
Suppose baby's hair is thing scrag-

treatments won't transform it into a
thatch of glossy curls, but persistent
treatment viii have effect.
Scalp massage is what the baby
with scant locks needs. Prepare q
mixture of equal parts of olive or cas-
tor oil and witch hazel and apply il
every other day to the scalp.
Use the finger tips, rubbing gently
and evenly, so as not to irritate the
delicate skin. This lubricates the
scalp and strengthens the roots OF
the hair. After the massage brush

SUMMER NORMAL SCHOOL
OPENS HERE JUNE 18TH.

The summer school for teachers
and prospective teachers which was
established here two years ago, is to
be conducted this year on a larger
scale than in the past. There will
be a larger faculty and additional
work will be offered. This is made
possible by a more liberal appropria-
ton of funds for this purpose by the
board of education. This institution
has met with such popular approval
and is filling such a long-felt need
in our educational system that it is
being developed and perfected as rap
idly as conditions will permit.
A scheme has been adopted by the
board of education whereby teachers
receive credit for attendance at the
summer school, and these credits de-
termine, in a measure, the salaries of

GOOD WORK
FOR SICK WOMEN
The Woman's Medicine Has
Proved Its Worth.

When Lydia E. Pinkham's remedies
were first introduced, their curative
powers were doubted and had to be
proved. But the proof came, and grad

whole country. Now that hundreds Of
thousands of women have experienced
the most beneficial effects from the use
of these medicines, their value has be-
come generally recognized, and Lydia

the standard medicine for women.
