The new method will astonish and delight you. You never saw or heard of anything like it before. It is not a depilatory and not electrical. Just get a stick of phelactine from your druggist and follow the simple directions. In . jiffy you have removed the offending hairs completely. With your own eyes you sec the roots come out. Phelactine is absolutely harmless, non-poisonous and odorless.-Adv.

 Are you policeman, Mister Strange Man with the red nose?" Raggedy Andy asked.
 An! That is a secret" the strange man with the red nose replied, But anyway I shall take you away to prison now And with that he caught the Blowgee and the Treemax both by an arm and started to march them away.
 It was just at this time that the make-believe pirate captain happened to think of something he wanted to tell the Blowgee, and back he came to where the Blowgee and the Tree max were pulling and kicking, trying to escape from the strange man with the red nose.
 "Here!" the make-believe pirate captain cried. What are you trying to do with the ind-hearted Blowgee and the nice TreemaX?"
 The strange man with the red nose did not even answer the make-believe pirate, but kept on dragging the Blowgee and the TreemaX away.
 T guess we will have to fight" the make-believe pirate said to the strange man with the red nose, "be- cause I am a friend of the Blowgee and the Treemax and I won't let you

 The make-believe pirate ran after the strange man with the red nose, but he did not catch him.
 When the make-believe pirate re- turned to where Raggedy Ann and Raggedy Andy and the Blowgee and the Treemax stood, he was laughing so hard he could hardly speak.

A FIRELEss SUMMER

Whether or not you make use of a fireless cooker during the winter, you really must have one of these comfortable meal-getters for use during the summer. In cold weather, when the great glowing range or the busy little gas stove only makes the kitchen snugger and more cheerful, there isn't so much need for the fireless; but when ones kitchen seems like an oven in itself. and beads of precipitation stand on the brow without the provocation of standing over hot stove-the fire- less cooker for me!
 The modern fireless Is really a sort of summer kitchen. Do you remem-

BETTER QUALITY GOODS
During Recent Fall Better Demand
for Good Quality Merchandise.

Wholesale dealers in garments re-
port that there was a better demand
for good quality merchandise during
the recent fall trade than formerly,
and they expect the same demand
for good stuff to continue through
the spring run.
Manufacturers also report that
customers are more critical than
formerly of the quality Of goods Of
fered, and producers are expecting
that their better stuff will sell more
readily from now on. This is an
encouraging sign, indicating that
people have more money and are
not so closely limited in making their
selections.
There is of course such thing
as paying high price IN an ex-
travagant way. During the flush
times of 1920, many people would
demand the very best thing there
was and pay the price, even if a
considerable sum was tackled on just
for extra ornament and fancy touch
es. But without going to the eX-
treme, a good grade of merchandise
usually pays the buyer in the long
run.
The trouble with low priced stuff
is frequently this, that somewhere
near az much labor has been used
to put the thing together, and that
labor cost is too great in proper
ton, considering the fact that the
material is of in inferior quality.
When it comes to putting high cost
labor on making up lot of mater
ial that is of second or third grade,
the investment is not wise one. 1t
would be better TO put in a little
more expense, and get an article
where the material is worth the cost
of the labor that it took to put it
together.
Stuff that gives out in a short time,
or that looks so cheap and shabby
that people get sick of using it at
an early date, is not economical. If
man by paying so per cent more
for suit of clothes, has one that
will wear twice as long, he has saw
ed money by additional expenditure.

Bootlegger Gets Stiff Sentence

BoOilegger Gets Stiff Sentence
A couple Of young men arrested
at Waukon for intoxication a few
days ago admitted that they secured
their frewater of a Lansing man,
and acting upon this Information a
raid was made upon the premises of
Basil. Gonyier, Jr., of that place.
Enough evidence was fouEd to cause
his arrest, and upon being brought
before Judge Taylor here Friday he
plead guilty TO two charges flied
against him.
The Judge was convinced that
Gonyier and several of his brothers
have been persistent in making and
selling hootch, and to impress then,
fully that the laws must not be
broken with impunity, he imposed
upon Gonyier fines Of S76o and
costs and a sentence Of six months IN
Jail in addition. One charge brought
a fine of $500 and costs and the
other $500 and costs.
Gonyier and his brothers have been
diligent fishermen in past years and
they were informed by Judge Taylor
that if they would return to that vo-
cation and refrain from trafficing
in liquor he would suspend the Jail
sentence upon Basil if he and his
brothers would furnish a bond bind
ing them to fish and not brew hence
forth. Gonyier is disposed to accept
this provision and is arranging 10
pay his $700 fine and fife the good
behavior bond.-Waukon Democrat.

EASY PICKING

The song, Silver Threads Among
the Gold" is still piling up royal
ties tho it was written forty-eight
years ago by Hart p banks.
This comes to light in a lawsuit
in Brooklyn, n. Y. The famous song
is said to have 100000 copies.
Between 1915 and 1920, when It
had one of its periodical popular
runs after a long sleep, it earned
royalties of $4,000.
banks, the composer, died back in
1903. But his song still lives. May
be if you could come back to earth
in the year 1000, you'd find people
still singing it-tho possibly under u
different name, stolen by a plag-
iariSt.
Men live on, in their good and bad
deeds, as surely as they survive thru
their children.
When banks wrote SILVER Threads
Among the Gold" in 1874, he had no
idea what he was starting. He did
not even dream that, nineteen yea,
after his death, his widow would be
in court fighting over the royalties.
Back of this is a definite principle.
The principle is this: Growth of
success. like growth of crops. take
time. Right now we are sowing
seed. The real harvest will not come
until years later.
Thus the pay We are making today
may rot be as important as the re-
turns Wei get, later or, from ex-
perience we are acquiring today
Young men on their first Jobs, and
younger ones still in school, should
keep this in mind.
Henry Ford, John D. Rockefeller
and nearly all other super-rich men
are cashing in now on early effort.
This law of deferred payment or
later harvest works another way
reaplng the weed-crop Of the past
mistakes.
Many OF Us, cursing our present
misfortunes (poverty, sickness of
general wrecchednessD. are placing
the blame on the general state Of
affairs in 1922. Simple truth is. tina.
we may be merely paying the penal
ty of pas. mistakes.
The harvest comes surely, whether
it is good or bad, whether wheat or
weeds.
It may be too late now 20 rectify
past mistakes. But We can prevent
their recurrence. The rar-sighted
man realizes that right now he is
building for the future as much as
the present, and that effort which
seems fruitIess now will yield big
profits later.
Live for tomorrow. This is the
key to all things really worth while.
