that y~enereally infected girls un-
der IS years OF age would be ad-
mitted to the Industrial Home and
remain there until cured, or at
least until 81 years Of age. This
statement Is an error. What the
law actually provides is that girls

lenses which upon conviction would
commit them to the Girls Indus

til cured or rendered completely
non-infectious. after which they

nant shall be committed to the Flo

Painful Sores
On Her Ankle
Healed BY Hood Preparations.

Healed By Hood Preparations.
For two years / suffered greatly
from blue veins on my leg. They
started with little sore that grew
worse, larger, more painful till it
extended around my whole ankle.
/ decided to take Hoods Sarsa-
parilla to purify my blood, with
Hoods Medicated Soap TO wash the
sore, and Hoods Olive Ointment to
help heel it. 1t was soon apparent
/ was an the right course, for as
the result OF faithfully taking the
Sarsaparilla, the sore diminished
and finally disappeared. l heartily
recommend these remedies to all
suffering from similar troubles.

S. CLAUS BRINGS
MAYOR PAINTING.
OF SELF AS GIFT

When Mayor Harry NJ. Schriver
arrived at his office at the city
hall this morning, he found on his
desk a 22x24-inch painting of
himself set in a suitable frame.
Members of the city commits
sion, the chief of police, city en-
gineer and the mayors secretary,
had given the executive this
Christmas present.
Months ago associates Of the
mayor obtained one of the best
photographs that he had ever had
taken. They turned this over to
Fritz OhlhcSst, 1924 Seventh

Germany. A relative. F. Bollhagen,
is a painter of considerable note,
and it was he who painted the
mayors picture. 1t was received

GASOLINE PRICE
rs INCREASED AT
SEVERAL PLACES

The price of gasoline has gone
up to 22-2 cents gallon at most of
me stations in this city. C. W.
Flanagan, assistant manager of the
standard Oil company, said that
the increase was made to bring the
price up to the standard.
Oh companies have cut their
price of gasoline to meet competi-
ton, but with the incoming of real
winter weather only the higher
tests OF oil can be sold and the
price necessarily was brought to
meet the cost, Mr.. Flanagan said.
The Illinois Oil company at its
station at Fourth avenue and
Twenty-fourth street is selling oil
at 175z cents a gallon.

colIided with a tree. Mrs Dunder-
berg. who was with him, escaped
with slight bruises and a severe
shock, While the condition OF
Mr.. Dunderberg is said to be hope
full, there is still possibility that
his injuries may prove fatal.
The fracture was caused by his
being thrown against the wind
shield of his car. Fragments of
glass from the windshield >pene-
trated the scalp, and an operation
was performed as soon as the in
jured man reached the hospital. Mr..
Dunderberg was unconscious Tor
some time after the accident.
The accident occurred on Sew
enth avenue near Twenty-second
street, shortly after IL O'Clock. The
Dunderbergs were returning from
a family gathering at the home Of
