CENTENARY OF WAR GOyFRN0H

Springfield. Ill.,. Jan. 17.-Thn Hajo and local historical societies oi H.
 nois have prepared for suitable u - servance tomorrow of the ccI,l4j.i anniversary of the birth ot Richard Yates, governor of Illinois dur n@ jjl- Civil war ana one of the out ,jtI ,.a figures in the history of the -larc. More especially will the centenary nc observed in Jacksonville, where he
 made his home during the greater
 part of his life. and in Springfield which was the scene of his greatest public activities.
 His was history making character, and in the preservation of the in- tegrity of Illinois during the days of the Civil war his name ranked With those of Lincoln, Grant, Logan and other leaders of that tlme. He gave Grant his first position in army serv ice after secession was declared, first making him an assistant to the ad- jutant general in Springfield and then raising him to the roloneloy of the Twenty-first Illinois Volunteers
 Governor Yates Was q Kentuckian by birth. His family removed 10 Springfield when he was l3 years old. He was graduated from Illinois College at Jacksonville in 1S2S, studied
 law and practiced his profession in
 Springfield. From lS42 to 1S49 he
 was a member of the Illinois le2isla
 ture, and in 1850 he was elected to congress. He was the youngest mem
 ber of the Thirty-second congress, and
 was reelected in 1852.
 ln 1Jnv 1894 cayon 1oVa before Lincoln was nominated for the presi- dency. Mir. Yates was nominated for governor of Illinois and subsequently,
 elected In 1862 he was nominated and elected governor second time.
 It was Governor Yates who convened the Illinois legislature the day after Fort Sumter fell, and, with it's sup port, took military possession of Cairo and gallisoned it with regular troops.
 When sectional feeling ran high in
 the state i'll 1863 he prOrOgued the legislature and prevented it's sessions
 until 1865. He was the governor who vetoed the ninety-nine-year franchise bill for the Chicago street railways, and which was passed over his veto.
 After leaving the governorship, Mir. Yates was elected to the United States senate as Union Republican, serv- ing from 1865 to 1871, and officiat- ing as chairman of the committees on revolutionary claims and territories, He died in St. Louis in 1873 while re- turning from visit to Arkansas, where he had been examining a rail- road as United States commissioner. Governor Yates was the father of Richard D. Yates, who filled the Illi- nois goyernorship from 1901 to 1905.

Don't Let Soap
 Spoil Your Hair

When you wash your hair, be careful what you use. Most soaps and prepared shampoos contain too much alkali, which is very injurious, as it dries the scalp and makes the hair brittle.
 The,best thing to use is just plain mul- si6ed cocoanut oil, for this is pure and entirely greaseless. It's very cheap, and beats the most expensive soaps or any, thing else all to pieces. You can get this at any drug store, and few ounces will last the whole family for months.
 Simply moisten the hair with water and rub it in, about teaspoonful is all that is required. It makes an abundance of rich, creamy father, cleanses thor oughly, 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.

DISCUSS NEEDS OF
 TIE DAVIS HOSPITAL
Rotar! and Hospital Boards Confer Over Plan to Raise
 &9O.OOO.

Members of the board of directors Of the Rotary club and of the board of trustees of the Davis hospital met eestereav afternoon in the directors room of the Merchants and Planters bank 10 discuss proposal that the Rotary club undertake to raise q fund Of S20,0O0, badly needed by the hos- pital. The Rotary board will make its report to the club at the meeting Tuesday, when decision as to the clubs course will be made.
 The discussion brought out that bonds of $12,000 issued by the hos pltal will become due next year, and that the remainder of the fund Ge- sired is needed to take care of neces- sary repairs and small obligations of the institution. Unless the money is raised it will be impossible for the hospital to continue, despite the pros pect that there will be greater need for hospitals, as result of the war, than ever before
 It was also recalled that the Davis hospital is public institution, with none of those giving their time and attention to it's operation receiving any compensation, save only the nurses and others employed in the institution, and that whatever profit is derived from its operation is to be used solely for the maintenance of the hospital and for the extension of it's charity work. It was shown, too, that many charity patients have been given treat ment at the Davis hospital, none ever being turned away because of lack of money, though the hospital has col lected from all who have been able to pay-and who would pay. It has been compelled to do this because of limited funds. The point was made that the existence here of such an in- stitution as the Davis hospital has brought many people to Pine Bluff, and that this has not been without its effect in strictly business way.
 F. M Rosenberg, one of the trustees of the hospital, called attention, in the course of the conference, to the pro- visions of the income and excess prof it's tax acts, permitting contributions to an institution like the Davis hos pital to be deducted from the amount liable for taxes.

Conserylno Tin Cam.

AN over the world many uses are found for used 6ve-gallon tin cans. In the Orient, Africa, Latin-America, the West and East Indies, the natives pur- chase them for innumerable purposes, There are men engaged solely in buy ing and selling these containers. The tinsmith coverts the containers into all kinds of household utensils-lamps, cook stoves, pots, baking pans, sprink- lers. small pumps, plates, measures drinking cups, rat-traps and buckets. With one face removed and glass sub- stituted therefor the can becomes dis. play box for grocery stores, or a rice container. Cut diagopally in two 1t serves as dust pan. In Latin-Amer. ican cities 1t is used by peons to cut grass in parks, being formed into a sort of knife. Used entire 1t is good for shipping canphor, lime, alcohol and molasses. It makes an excellen. dower-pot.
 Hot Water Drinking.
 A stomach cleansing treatment is often just as important us a rest for the organ, says WlE.

Just hot enough SO that you can drink it with fair ra- pidity and take a considerable amount into the stomach in short time. If you will drink cup of hot water ev- cry five minutes until two quarts or more have been consumed, the result will be unfalling.
