Special to Times Republican.
Ida Grove. March Ii.-Surrounded by
poverty. desti.ution and want in a
community that has donated thousands
OF dollars 10 the poverty stricken
countries OF Europe, Mrs. c. Kurchner
Was found dead yesterday morning by
neighbor in her home in this city.
The kurchners, consisting OF father,
mother and Ave small children ranging
from eleven years down to six years,
came to Ida Grove from Correction
Vile about three years ago. The father
had team and wagon at that time and
worked on the paving then going on
in the city. Shiftless habits of the
father brought no sustenancs to the
family and for a time they we're housed
in the county buildings Just at the cor
porate limits, Lut the commissioners
ordered them Gu, several months ago
and they moved into residence in
town. Last week one OF the neighbors
discovered that one OF the five children
was dead and notified the authorities
and il was then that their actual want
and restitution was discovered. Pro-
visions were supplied by neighbors and
citizens whose attention was called to
their want, but the mothers condition
had become 80 serious that she could
not rally although medical attention
was given. The Kurchners left Cor
rectionville because the authorities had
threatened to take their children away
from them ana send them to home.
When the mother was discovered the
four children were the only inmates
Of the home and were assembled
around the dead body crying piteous-
~ for their mother TO awaken. The
Philathean society has taken the chill
dren and will furnish them with wear
ing apparel and, despite the protests
OF the father, intend TO see that they
are placed in some home where they
will be taken care OF.

Washing Won't Rid
Head Of Dandruff

The only sure way to get rid of
dandruff is to dissolve it, then you
destroy it entirely. To do this, get
about four ounces of ordinary liquid
arvon; apr'v it at night when retir-
ing; use enough to moisten the scalp
and rub it in gently with the finger
tips.
Do this tonight, and by morning,
most if not all, of your dandruff will
be gone, and three or four more ap-
plications will completely dissolve
and entirely destroy every single
sign and trace of it, no matter how
much dandruff you may have.
You will find, too, that all itching
and digging of the scalp will stop at
once, and your hair will be fluffy,
lustrous, glossy, silky and soft, and
look and feel hundred times better.
You can get liquid arvon at any
drug store. It is inexpensive and
never fails to do the work.

Customs in Scotland.
Apple ducking is a universal Gus

an apple to make the reward greater.
The contestants must keep their

Nuts are put before the f1re in

a long, happy married life is destined

Three bowls are used, one filled

When grandmother
Was sweet sixteen
And wore a natural blush
A few girl cheaters
Who were not over-nice
Took from their noses
(Bold hussies)
The shine
With a wee bit OF -four
Or starch
Though not one of them
Would admit it.
Grandmother's daughter
Was our mother of course
Time and space
Had rushed in between
A bit of powder
A tint of rouge
Was applied to her cheeks
1t became her.
But when mothers daughter
Grew boldly up
Her hand bags contained
An equipment
Of powder
And rouge
Brow pencils
Lip sticks
Nothing was missing
/ assure you.
Mirrors she found
In stores downtown
In elevators
Street cars and churches.
Conceal it!
Why, no
Every one of her set
Had the habit
And thought nothing of it.
One gay night last week
A young bride-to-be
With her blonde hance
Sat two rows ahead
In the theater.
Two girls sat between US
Who earnestly said:
"The bold little thing
Right out in the light
Before God and everybody
With that shiny face
And pale looking lips
She has no delicacy
She has no modesty-
Where is her powder
We'd like to know?"

How times do change

A Velvet Scarf.

A Reader-It is quite likely that
the store where you made your
purchase will exchange your velvet
fer longer piece. No doubt you
intend to split the material, so If
you keep the 40 inches you will have
an S0-inch scarf. If you line your
scarf with georgette, you could ex-
tend the lining a few inches and
thus give more length. 1 would
not advise a black lining, but taupe
or brown, and underneath the geor-
gette you could use a bright and
inexpensive material in jewel COL
ors. The satin or fringe which you
suggest would answer the purpose,
but would be older and heavier in
effect than the georgette.
