SHAVING BRUSHES

1t is not always economy to buy
cheap things A certain man in South
Georgia thought he was predicting
economy in buying cheap shaving
brush He used il one time and, in
few days, a little pimple appeared on
his neck. He thought nothing Of Il
until IL began to swell and inflame
the tissues all over his neck. In a
few days he died, and his doctor was
intelligent enough to suspect anthrax,
pustule. He found out about the shay
ing brush and sent II to the State
Board OF Health Laboratory in Atlanta
and anthrax germs were found buried
in the glued ends of the bristles
Shaving brushes are made from
horse hair and pig bristles imported
to this country from China, Japan and
Russia. Unless imported horse hair
is, carefully disinfected, it is apt to
contain germs of anthrax, disease
very common in these countries. Our
Government now enforces very rigid
regulations in regard to the disinfec-
ton of imported hair Brushes made
since these regulations went into eff
feet are apt to be safe enough. But
we must still be on our guard against
any brush which does not have the
name and trade mark of some reliable
brush manufacturer
A suspicious brush may be rendered
safe by soaking 1t for four hours in a
hot 10 per cent solution of formalin
such as can be purchased from any
druggist.

Besler, since 1865 affiliated with, the

tion hand and working up to general
superintendent, died at his apart
ments in the Galesburg club here
last night. When Jim Hin took over
the Burlington system Besler was
appointed a member of the advisory
board, reporting to the vice presl-

maintained that position to the time
of his death and had he lived until
the Burlington put into effect its
new system of pensions the first OF
the year he would probably have
been the first or one OF the first men
to come under it.
1t was Besler who nearly twenty
years ago conceived the idea Of
planting catalpa trees along the right
of way which he believed some day
would supply railroad ties for the
railroad. He did not live to see his
dream fully realized, but many Of

MERRY CHRISTMAS" MESSAGE
WITH UNION CHECK.

This was a great day for the Sal
walton Army Christmas Basket
Fund, thanks to the big heartedness
of generous public. The Free
I sTrader-Journal received among its
contributors toward the fund a
D check from Local Union 219 with
cheer message written across it's
face. The message was "a Merry
Christmas" and the check for $500.
Whoever gets the union mems bas-
ket will know that good thoughts,
valued far above monetary basis,
went with it, Union bieness was in
the Yuletide greeting and the best
part of it all is that no instructions
accompanied the donations ordering
the money to go into the home of
"card man."
The days for giving to those most
worthy Of causes are rapidly draw
ing to close. Hurry up is the bat
tile cry now. Captain Morgan OF
the Salvation Army now has names
of sixty-seven, personally investi-
dated and found wholly worthy
cases of dire want on his list. The
baskets, which include good sized
chicken, will cost approximately
$4.0O each. At that rate $248 Is
the minimum needed to put over a
regular Christmas for the city's
poor. Again heed the admonish-
ment "hurry!" Show speed good
fellows.

BOYS AND GIRLS Of

FOR TINY STRANGER
MATRoN CONDUCTS LOTTERY"
FOR PURPOSE OF CHRISTEN.
ING ToNNEAU BABY WHILE HE
is GUEST AT DETENTION.

Robert Gene" the tonneau baby
who was abandoned last Wednesday
night lin an auto in front of an Earl
Vile movie, was formally named this
morning. The little fellow in spite
Of the dignity of his cognomen, was
just as happy few minutes before
when he was nameless as after he re-
ceived a title.
The kiddies at the detention home,
where the baby has been staying
since Saturday, were given the privi-
lege of naming the baby. Each child
was allowed to select an appellation,
write it on slip and place it in a
hat. The hat was then given a thor
ough shaking, and little Helen Ko-
misky was appointed by the home
mother" Mrs. Carey Foster. to draw
out slip. When the paper was un-
folded the words Robert Gene were
seen.
The excitement during the cere-
monies of the selection was just as
great as in any private home, when
the children are given an opportuni-
ty of choosing a name for their baby
brother The home children are just
as happy over little brother" who
arrived at Saturday, as they would
be as though they were in their own
home and had just been visited by
the stork.
The little brother has been accept
ed by everyone. and is genuinely low
ed by all who see him. Even Buddy"
who was the baby at the home, and
was the pet and favorite of everyone,
has stepped off his pedestal as home
pet" with all the grace his two years
can command, and has accepted the
little brother with as much enthusi-
asm as is ever displayed under such
circumstances.
Healthy and happy, Robert Gene
promises to be only few days with
his older brothers and sisters. Too
many homes are reaching forth arms
to greet him and welcome him on
Christmas time. Even though his
very own mother conceals his iden-
tity and refuses to make public his
real name, several other women or
La Sale county are yearning Win
aching arms and hearts to lavish on
Robert Gene all the love that his
own parents have denied him
1t is rumored that at least one of
these women, who is desirous Of be-
coming Robert Genes real and
true legal mother, has employed an
attorney to look after her claim or
adopting the babe.
Papers will probably be filed, and
adoption proceedings held within
few days and Robert Gene given to
some doting mother. When few
Christmases lapse and Robert Gene
watches the coming Of Santa Claus,
he will have forgotten all about the
night when he was abandoned TO
the chill of a December night in the
tonneau of an auto, wrapped in two
blankets, and with only bottle OF
milk as a companion. He has ALREADY
forgotten the cries of his detected
little heart, which summoned Mr.,
and Mrs. Henry Duffy to his aid, and
brought him 50 many friends.
Robert Gene croons and talks to
himself most of his waking hours, III
the manner of any bright three
month old baby. He, however, em-
ploys all the loyalty Of a true man
makes no effort to accuse or even
condemn the mother or other rela-
tives who placed him in the rear seat
of the Z. l.. Rodgers auto.

Orders Children Released.
An order was issued in the county
court by Judge B. Harry Reck yester-
day, providing that Louis and Adamo
Mini, aged 10 and s, who are now in
an orphanage at Peoria, be released
to their father, Frank Mini, of No
komis. The boys were given to their
father when their parents were di-
vorced in the county court.
A petition was later filed by their
step-grandfather. John Batick, of
Marseilles, alleging that their father
deserted them, and asking that the
court find them dependent.
The father contested the case, al
leging that he left his boys at the
Batick home so that they might visit
their mother and while they were
there his ex-wife's relatives put them
in a home and asked that the court
declare them dependent.
Dismiss Dependency.
The petition filed in the county
court in October asking that Eliza
beth, Cecilia and Edward Michlow-
ski of Streator, the children of Henry
Michlowski and Mrs. Felicia Mich
lowski be declared dependent, was
dismissed by Judge Reck yesterday.
The neighbors of Mrs Michlowski in
Streator carried on the fight to have
the children taken from the mother,
in whose custody they were, alleg-
ing that she had to work and was un-
able to care for them.
The father of the children was liv-
ing in Chicago. Arrangements were
made by the parents to give the chill
dren the proper care, after which
the petition was dismissed.

OF Chicago, today answered charges Of
dOwnstate residents that sewage from
this city was responsible for the de-
struction of fish that live in the uppe''
stretches of the Illinois river. Mr..
Mulyfhill admitted the charge to be
true, but said the charge would be
remedied to great extent when three
purification plants now being con-
structed are completed. These plants
will increase the amount of oxygen
in the water, the exhaustion of which
hes made fish life practically impos
sible as far south as Peoria, Attorney

GRIFFITH and Then
RETRACTS REMARKS
Dublin, Dec. 2O.-Just before adjournment of

sion in which debate on the London peace treaty

had been continued, an
angry exchange occurred

be fooled by more private proceedings.
at was unworthy of Mr.. Griffith to
say the Dali desired privacy" Mr. de
Valera said. "ln that case. something
else came back to Dublin from Eng
land" charged the president
Mr.. Griffith demanded to know the
meaning of this and loud cries of
withdraw" were addressed to Mr.. de
Valera.
Minister Of Defense Burgess explain
ed that anybody knowing the busi-
ness end of a gun must know the
necessity for secrecy in military mat
ters. He desired to reply to charges
that were made Saturday night.
When it became clear the statement
would deal only with military mat
ters, Mr.. Griffith withdrew his objec-
tions to a secret session and harmony
was restored.
Two of the Dali members spoke In
favor of the pact and three others,
including Mrs. O'Callaghan, lone wo-
man member, spoke against it.
De Valera Apologies.
A private session of the Dali this
afternoon was devoted to discussion
of the position and resources of the
Irish republican army in the event the
treaty was rejected. ~ y
The Dali resumed its deliberations
in public at Abs. Nh de Valera with
drew his remark that the delegation.
had brought back something besides
the treaty from Downing street He.
apologized and MIR. Griffith accepted
the apology.

Mr.. de Valera that he would submit
the treaty to a vote OF the Irish peo-
pie.
