evening two members Of the local
militia company doing bridge guard
duty here rescued two 16-year- OLD
bows from drowning in the Mississippi
river The boys. with a man, were in
q launch near the Illinois shore where
the soldiers have their camp. The
gasolene in the launch caught fire and
the man and boys were forced 10
lump into the river with all of their
clothing on. The man made his way
to the shore, despite the heavy cur
rent. but the boys were fast belns
swept farther from shore and tho they
could swim were seen to be losing
strength. Two soldiers swan out to
them and brought them safely 70

guardsman rescued boy from under
a freight train from which he had
fallen. dragging him out just in time
to save him. However, the boy is pc

Alkali In Soap
Bad For the Hair

Soap should be 1sed very carefully. II
YOU want to keep your hair looking its
uest. Most soaps and prepared sham
poos contain too much alkali. This
dries the scalp, makes the hair brittle,
and ruins It.
The best thing for steady use is just
ordinary mulsified cocoanut oil (Which
10 pure and greaseless), and is better
than the most expensive soap or any,
thing else you can use.
One or two teaspoonfuls will cleanse
the hair and scalp thoroughly. Simply
moisten the hair with water and rub it
in. It makes an abundance of rich,
creamy lather, which rinses out easily,
removing every particle Of dust. dirt.
dandrun and excessive oil. The hair
dries quickly and evenly. and 1t leaves
the scalp soft, and the hair fine and
silky, bright. lustrous, fluffy and easy
TO manage.
You can get mulsified cocoanut oil at
my pharmacy; it's very cheap, and
few ounces will supply every member
Of sAe family for months.

DELINQUENT TAX

MUST MAIL NOTICES

Statement of Delinquency Believed
More Satisfactory Than Advertise

Made by Assembly Without Dissent.

Special to Times Republican.
Des Moines, July 1S-The delinquent
tax payers will hereafter receive sentie
remainder thru the mail from the coun-
~ treasurer to the effect that his taxes
are overdue. This little change In the
taxing laws was adopted by unanimous
vote by both houses of the last legis-
lature and went into effect on July :.
This notice to be sent thru the mails
is in addition to the advertising OF the
tax list which has always heretofore
been considered sufficient to prod the
delinquents into paying their taxes.
But it has been discovered that such
advertisement is often overlooked by
property owners who have both the
desire and ability to pay their taxes
and occasionally some piece OF proper
ty is sold for taxes which the owner had
forgotten all about when tax paying
time came around.
Law Passed Without Dissent.
This law was introduced by Senator
Indy of Henry county, early last SEES
sion. 1t passed the senate on Feb. III q!
a vote of 81 to and the house on
March 81 by vote of IS to o. There
was no debate on the measure and It
went thru without much comment or
notice. Nevertheless, it is generally
considered good law and much more
fair to the property owners than under
the old law whose only provision to
d operty owners that their taxes were
due was by publication in the news
paper.
The new law declares in speaking OF
the work of the treasurer in collecting
taxes that "his efforts to that end shall
include the sending by mail of state
ment to each delinquent taxpayer not
later than the first day Of November Of
each year."

Most of the fall sown wheat was

The hay crop will be very light.
Farmers report that there will not be
more than one third to one-half OF u

There is a larger acreage of corn
this year than normally owing TO the
fact that farmers plowed up all clover
land, which was winter killed, and
planted corn.
Corn is looking fine. but is about

Probably three million young men
and women are subject to ridieule and
embarrassment every day of their
lives because of abnormal skinny
arms. limbs and countenances. They
wonder why they cannot become
plump. The reason is. that nutritive
processes need artificial aid until
Nature catches up. Realizing this. a
good physician obtained a salient ex-
tract from the yoliSs OF eggs, COM
bined it with hypophosphites. iron
and simple vegetable tonics, putting
all in tablet form, and this wonder

the trawlers engaged in the netting
operations carried from 1000 to 200
yards Of steel net made of wire about
like our barbless fence wire, with
meshes foot in diameter. To cover
wide area the trawlers line up
abreast, separated by regular inter-
walls. drop their weighted nets --
shooting the nets" is the British
term for it-and move steadily for
ward, combing the waters. Mr..
Noyes saw sixty trawlers thus fenc-
ing in the Irish sea all the way from
shore to shore. He said that cutting
the net was impossible, but why il
was impossible he was not permit
ted to say.
Il dare say that the inventive
genius Of America could devise
equally adequate measures" he re-
marked. An interviewer suggested
that maybe the nets were electrified
and the submarine died the death of
a murderer in Sing Sing. Mr.. Moves
laughed and again SAID that he must
be silent on this point.
