Breaking Bad Habits

ITO break up the finger-sucking
habit in infants" says the Marcn
Woman's Home Companion. "alumi-
mum mits are very useful. These are
light and have holes in them to pre-
vent the hand from becoming over
heated, and they make is absolutely
impossible for the child to suck the
fingers. They may be purchased at
almost any drug store. Sometimes it
is possible to break up the habit
without these gloves by using a
stocking, put on over the hand and
pinned to the shoulder"

State Offers to
Lay Sample Road
During Fair Week

That the Iowa state highway com
mission is anxious to interest the
people of the state in all sorts OF good
roads is evidenced by letter received
this forenoon by Secretary Sidney
Johnson. of the Marshalltown CLUB
from the chief engineer of the COM
mission at Ames. In connection with
the road exhibit which the commission
is to loan the club for fair week, the
engineer also makes an otfer to sehd
a man here to superintend the work OF
putting down stretch of road for
demonstration purposes in snort
space of time.
IF YOU would provide a heavy roller
and a sprinkl.ng wagon, and have
7,enty of gravel and clay on hand, YOU
could lay road in double quick time
which would not only prove of great
interest to fair visitors, but would
give them correct idea OF how suCh
roads could he made on large scale.
saws the letter The commission would
have a man here to take charge of the
work. and the road could be con-
structed while the visitors looked on
Such road. however. could not be
used for traffic. The directors of the
club will cor slider this offer which
would give 81 added attractiveness TO
the Marshalltown Clubs exhibit.
J. s. Dodds. who was here last WIN
ter with the good roads special train,
will be at the Marshall county fair ut
least two days to explain the road
exhibit and answer any questions con-
corning various kinds of roads. their
advantages, and methods of construc-
ton.

From the office Of the sheriff of Polk

Swanson the car, or that he ever had a
car to sell.
A warrant charging Swanson with
grand larceny Of the Nerdimer car WaI
issued by Justice Burritt late Wednes-

Scott was not fully satisfied with Yer

Don't Let Soap
Spoil Your Hair

When you wash your hair, be care
full what you use. Most soaps and pre-
pared shampoos contain too much al
kali, which is very injurious, as 1t dries
the scalp and makes the hair brittle.
The best thing to use is just plain
mulsified cocoanut oil, for this is pure
and entirely greaseless. It's very cheap.
and beats the most expensive soaps or
anything else all to pieces. You can
get this at any drug store, and a few
ounces will last the whole family for
months.
Simply moisten the hair with water
and rub it in, about a teaspoonful is
all that is required. 1t makes an abun-
dance of rich, creamy lather cleanses
thoroughly. and rinses out easily. The
hair dries quickly and evenly, and is
soft. fresh looking, bright, fluffy, wavy
and easy to handle. Besides, it loosens
and takes out every particle of dust,
dirt and dandruff.

HOW TO CREATE PERSONALITY
Practice the Real Smile, the Hearty
Handshake and Musical Voice II
You Would Succeed.

To discuss personality without men,
tioning a pleasant smile and genial
handshake would be as incomplete as
discussing good health without men,
tioning exercise. A natural smile is
readily obtained after one has acquired
a musical laugh, wholesome thoughts
and pleasant voice. A forced smile
is easily detected and usually arouses
suspicion, as it is considered a mask.
1t is the forced smile that usually re-
suits in facial contortion. The genuine
smile prompted by cheerfulness is ac-
complished by slightly parting the lips,
gently raising the corners of the
mouth and is completed by happy
expression in the. eyes. Stand before
your mirror and see how easily you
can be convinced that this is true. also
how well it will pay you to wear
genuine smile. The handshake needs
no practice, only remember that a firm
grip and hearty shake inspire conf.
dence and are token of frankness
and accord with spontaneous laughter
and a well-placed musical voice.
To prove conclusively that person.

To Protect the Birds.

There is no reason to suppose that
the president will refuse to approve
the regulations for the protection OF
migratory birds which have been is.
sued by Secretary Houston. This is
IA task which only the federal gov
ornment can perform with success.
Much useful state legislation Is less
effective than it ought to be for the
reason that it can apply only locally.
Thus the robins may be guarded
from slaughter in Pennsylvania or
Massachusetts,, but thousands of
them can still be sacrificed to the
greed of pot hunters as they fly South
Nor is It for purely sentimental rea--
sons-though these should be sufficient
that protection is demanded. Our
songbirds are treless destroyers of
noxious plant and insect life. They
are the best friends the farmers have.
Even such as now and then take toll
of fruit or grain do much more good
than harm. There is no more i'm
portant form of conservation.-Phil
delphia Ledger.
