retorted:

as having denied that England is
building up her great air forces with

Then Senator Phelan Of California
got into the debate with a stirring
attack on Great Britain's expendi-

"I am opposed to furnishing any

How to Keep Age-Lines
and Wrinkles Away

Don't forget that the woman who smiles
will have a skin more free from wrinkles
than the woman who frowns. When
wrinkles begin to appear it is good plan
to bathe the face once a day for awhile in
a harmless solution made by dissolvtng an
ounce Of powdered saxolite in a'half pint Of
witch hazel.
This is remar kab bly, effective IN erasing the
hateful lines. not only because Of its as
tringent action which tightens the skin. and
thus irons out the lines, but also because
of helpful tonic effect which improves
capillary circulation aud nerve tone. There
is nothing better for habby cheeks or chin.
BE sure to ask the druggist for the pow
dered saxolite. te.--Advert;scment.

Iowa had a carnival-and not only
the church bells, but the fire bells too,
and the school bells, and all other
kinds of bells, and the factory whist

fact. all kinds of noise making de-
vices. 1t is probably safe to say that
two years ago tomorrow there was
scarcely single building in Iowa
that was not deliberately draped with
the red, white and blue The air was
full of confetti and bunting. The
roads in every city, every town,
turnout the state, rumbled with con-
slant, jubilant parades. The streets
overlooked with masses Of shouting,

ended.
Nor was the merry making by any
means confined to Iowa. Here are

Kline TO PUSH LABOR COURT.

trial. Tribunal Platform.


Fort Dodge. Nov. 10.-Dr. ]. w.
Kline, tuberculosis expert, won his
campaign for state representative
from Webster county, running on the
platform OF an industrial court for
Iowa similar to that in Kansas,
Aitho Webster county Is one of the
strongholds\of labor, and altho he
was bitterly opposed by the labor
unions and the democratic candi-
date. he stood pat for his anti-strik
conviction, and carried the election
by a large majority. two other can
didates besides himself being in the
field.
The campaign was marked by STIR
ring and sensational Incidents. The
doctor started his campaign by de-
nouncing labor strikes thru the med
ium OF the local newspaper. This
was Immediately picked up by the
farmerlabor partys orators, and
Dr. Kline was personally attacked.
Letters were exchanged and the out
come was that the doctor challenged
his opponent to debate the question.
The labor party procured John T..
.Clarkson. of Abba, TO speak for their
stdegGThe debate was held in the
localaarmory, and the hall was packed
with Iaboring men. In spite OF their
jeers. and the oratory of Mr.. Clark
son. DR.. Kline made stirring speech.
DR.. Kline received many threaten
ing letters.
The Kline bill has been drawn and
uyi9l hA Mt
latnre. In its essential. parts it is
similar to the Kansas law. but there
are-fsome changes which makes 1t
more fair and practicable according
to DIR. Kline. It includes the essen
tial industries Of food and fuel and
nothing more. It provides three
judges to be appointed by the gov
ernor for six-year terms. These
judges shall have the same qualih-
cations as a Judge OF the district
court. The judges may sit together
or separately. They hear the evil
denoe and decide the case and their
verdictlis} enforceable. The case may
be appealed in the usual manner and
takes precedence over. any other mat
tiers in the supreme court. Altho this
law applies only to the essential in
dustries, nevertheless any industry
may take advantage of the court by
voluntary application.
In an interview DIR. Kline said: II
am for the working man. have
nothing to say against him. This law
is for his protection as much and
more than others. The bill has been
drawn, yet am always open to any
criticism or suggestion and the bill
may be changed. I have invited the
trades and labor assembly to meet
me. and talk the matter over. AS yet
they have not replied, but believe
that If the 1aboring man can come
to an intelligent and sane under
standing of our bill. he will not OPP
pose it,, but favor 1t"
