Removing Ugly Hairs
Entirely New Method

The question is often asked whether a
really permanently efficacious hair-re-
mover exists, and the answer has hereto
fore been very unsatisfactory. Fortunately.
there's a new and remarkable process that
really removes every hair-entire, root and
all! 1t is different from and far better
than electricity, depilatories, the razor, or
any other method. II you'd like to try
it, just get a stick of phelactine from your
druggist, follow the simple instructions
and with your own eyes see the hair roots
come out! Roots are removed instantly,
easily. leaving the skin perfectly smooth
and hair-free.
Phelactine is non-frritating, odorless, and
so harmless you could eat it,-Adv.

merely for an extension of this to a
statewide scope. Oliger quoted a sec
ton of the Kansas laws concerning the
passing of no fund checks in present

Badly Injured

Mr.. w. H. Gass, carrier on route
N. 5, sustained broken leg and
others injuries yesterday afternoon
about four o'clock, when his horse be-
came frightened for no apparent rea-
son, and ran away. The horse was
young and high spirited and had only
been on the route for four days.
At the time of the accident, Mr..
Gass was just coming in off his route
and had arrived at the east end of
town, near the home of Mr.. H. R.
Meade. When the horse started to
run, Mr.. Gass attempted to jump
from the small card in which he was
riding, but his feet became entangled
in the reins and he was dragged for
about 100 yards, when the jolting of
the cart freed him.
Mr.. Gass was Immediately taken
to the local hospital, where it was
found that his leg had been broken
in two places and other injuries
about the body sustained. While his
injuries are not of critical nature,
they will necessitate his remaining
in for some time.

TO THE PHYSICIANS

AS doubtless you know, the
Greene County Chapter of the Red
Cross has secured the services of a
trained nurse and instructor to give
a series of lessons to classes through
out the county. AS physicians, we
must see what great benefit this
work will be to the people and to us
who look after the sick. We realize
how often we are sadly handicapped
by lack of intelligent nursing and
the preparation of food for our pa
tients. The plan of this movement
has been fully explained.
On June 9Th, there are to be Red
Cross rallies over the entire county,
and it is hoped that the physicians
will attend these meetings (even for
brief time) and give encourage
ment to those organizing these class
es. At this time, also, the campaign
against the spread of tuberculosis
will be opened and should be of vital
interest to US.
Let us aid the work of the chap
ter in every way we can. 1T wish
es to do the greatest amount of good
possible for our county, and in no
other way can this be brought about
than to conserve the health of our
people, prevent unnecessary illness
and the spread of contagious diseases.
and to intelligently care for those of
our own household.
Respectfully,
R. o. HUFFAKER, M. d.
Sec. Board of Health.
