The old fashioned barber shop, known to our faith
es as a place where whiskers were amputated once a
week and hair was shorn maybe twice a year; where
the boys Of the family were sent when spring was we'll
advanced and barefoot time had come, to get Is cents
worth Of hair cut and a dose of very smelly hair oil
that was entirely ruined in the old swimmin' hole the
same afternoon, has disappeared.
Just as the old time barber shop was cvoluted from
a sort of a one horse doctors office where the profess
SCR in charge applied the leech to people who needed
bleeding" so has the barber shop of our fathers
graduated into a modern Apollo factory equipped with
all the machinery and appliances ingenuity can de-
wise for making rought-necks look like human beings.
The barber is no longer a barber-he is a ton.orial
artist. In his repertoire, reposing on a long shelf at
his back, is a wealth of face powder, rouge. cosmet-
les, vanishing creams, tonics, perfumes, toilet waters,
dopes to grow h1i- on bald heads. dopes to remove
surplus hair where it is not desirable to have it. Ma
chinery for cutting hair, machinery for giving vari-
Gus messages, shnmpoos and other operations, known
to the artist and demanded by the customer who hopes
to enhance his personal appearance.
The ''tonsorial specialist rather disdains the hair
sanitation to apply his magical art in "A job of facial

spicuous place in his studio.

ment eradicated.
The fountain of youth is certainly there or there

The DEAD.

Religion, older and deeper than all religions, says
the Independent, finds expression in the homage that
Europe and America pay to the soldier dead whose
individual identities remain unknown. The tributes
OF governments and of commanders, of private citi-
zens and of public throngs, the pomp of professions,
the burial in national shrines and cemeteries, and the
generation that will continue are ceremonial in part,
but also in part they are spontaneous and profoundly
real Before men had gods they bowed before the
fatefulness of luck. Before they built affairs they re-
membered their dead. Before Buddha and Christ they
revered such as efaccd themselves that their tribes
might live.
"of all the tragedies of war the fate of the missing
is most poignant to those who survive. To the an
euish of uncertainty succeeds the bitterness of a sec
ond obliteration. Individually the unknown dead are
Plotted from the book of local remembrance. Stranger
hands, if any, lay wreaths upon THAR graves.
But, though all but one in each land are publicly
remembered only as men who were comrades of men,
yet when the drums tap at the burial of the one un-
known, in the heart of every sorrowing mother, of
every grieving wife, will spring the hidden thought 4
cannot know, l never shall know, but he may be my
hoy, he may be my lover
And when those drums tap shall there not be, in
the hearts of US who live in peace and liberty because
these unknown dead gave all, that conservation which
Lincoln adjured at Gettysburg?"

THIRTY BILLIONS OF DOLLARS.

Whatever the Washington parley may accomplish to-
ward reducing the great burden upon the people for
military and naval preparedness. it will be a stride in
the direction of a better civilization.
National honor and safety may be preserved with
out the tremendous outlays of the peoples money in
senseless rivalry in construction and equipment.
Counting the cost in money only, the European war
cost the United States more than thirty billions of dol
lars-a hundred times as much as the cost of building
the Panama canal, considered in its time one of the
greatest undertakings the United States might as
sumo.
What would not thirty billion dollars do?
Thirty billion dollars would buy all the railroads of
the United States, free from debt, and leave ten bill
lion dollars for betterments.
Thirty billion dollars would build 500, 900 miles of
the best highway, at a cost of $50, 900 per mile-high-
way enough to lay so national highways across the
country east and west, and so similar highways across
the country north and south.
Thirty billion dollars would build and equip a col,
lege in each of the states and in Hawaii and the Phil
ippines at a cost of 5000, 600, 600 each and leave 90
billions with which to erect and equip 100, 900 high
schools at $500, 900 each.
Thirty billion dollars would accomplish anything
that could be devised by the most ardent advocate of
public improvements, SO far as money could attain
the end.

MAYOR BLAcKMoRE.

The battle of Casper is over and Mr.. Blackmore is
the mayor by a comfortable majority. All things con-
sidered it was an unusual vote, coming within about
two hundred of the total registration 1t was a hand
to-hand fight to the hour Of the closing of the polls
None of the candidates need be ashamed of the sup
port he received, for in each case it was cordial and
loyal and altogether to be admired.
The will of the people is made clear in the result
and all good citizens will endorse it. Campaign ami
mosities will not long survive in the more important
work of placing Casper upon a frmer business foun-
dation and relieving the people, insofar as is possible,

ordinances, faithfully and reasonably, to the end that
good order and public safety may be re-established in
the community.
We will find ourselves in accord on many other
points Of contact, because the people, in the aggre-
gate, always desire what is right and for the best and
in Mayor Blackmore, we are certain the people will
find a leader who will serve the public interest faith
fully and well, and in his efforts he will be supported
by a council equally loyal to the public good.
The new administration has its mandate from the
people and the matters which formed the basis of con
tention in the campaign and settled by the election
may be summarized brihy as follows:
Strict economy and elimination of all waste and ex
travagance.
A business administration on purely busi7ess prin.
ciples, free from secrets and mysteries and star cham
Der proceedings, with full information upon all mat
tiers belonging to the people, through the widest pub
LEFTY.
An intelligent enforcement of the laws and ordin-
ances in the spirit Of reasonableness in which they
were made. Eliminating the gross evils Haunted in
the public face to the humiliation of a Christian com.
muRity.
All good citizens will unite under the leadership Of
Mayor Blackmore in securing the best and most pro
gressive government Casper has ever had. The con.
trary minded will be few and of slight consequence.

quarter of the globe, at the next step,
will call attention to its costumes.
Just around the corner of the show
case in which some graceful, and per-
haps daring, bit of French finery has

upon a dazzling creation from the Far
East. 1t may call up pictures of old

sleeves, and a panel down the front,
finished, as everything Chinese seems

II You Need a Medicine
You Should Have the Best

Have you ever stopped to reason why
it is that so many products that are ex-
tensively advertised, all at once drop out
of sight and are soon forgotten? The
reason is plain-the article did not fulfill
the promises of the manufacturer. This
applies more particularly to medicine.
A medicinal preparation that has real
curative value almost sells itself, as like
an endless chain system the remedy is
recommended by those who have been
benefited, to those who are in need of it.
A prominent druggist says "Take for
example DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, a
preparation l have sold for many years
and never hesitate to recommend, for IN
almost every case it shows excellent re-
suits, as many of my customers testify.
No other kidney remedy has so large a
sale"
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who have
used the preparation, the success of DIR.
Kilmer's Swamp-Root is due to the fact,
so many people claim, that it fulflls al
most every wish in overcoming kidney,
liver and bladder ailments; corrects uri-
nary troubles and neutralizes the uric
acid which causes rheumatism.
You may receive a sample bottle of
Swamp-R Root by Parcels Post. Address
DR.. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y,
and enclose ten cents; also mention this
paper. Large and medium size bottles
for sale at all drug stores.
