So Soft
So White

BY Edna Wallace Hopper.
Nearly every woman who sees
them envies me my hands. They ask
me how I keep them SO soft, SO
white, SO young.
They know that l travel all the
time. My stage work encounters all
sorts OF CRIME and dirt. In most
cities the water is hard. Yet the most
sheltered women rarely have such
hands, They never chap. S
The reason lies in a hand lotion
perfected for me by great experts. |
apply it whenever | wash my hands.
1t is not greasy or sticky. 1t disap-
pears at once. And it overcomcs all
that water docs. all that soap does,
all that Crime does to, the hands.
Also all that weather does, all that
the years do. My own hands form
evidence supreme.
This hand lotion is now supplied
by all toilet counters. It is called
Edna Wallace Hopper's Youth Hand
Lotion. The price is 60c.
! urge you to try it. | think ! have
tried nearly everything of this Kind,
but nothing compares with this. A.
guarantee comes with it. Your dealer
will return your money If it docs
not please. Go get it and see what it
means to YOU.

Chairman J. McGauvran, Cavalier
county, explained that the bill would
permit the state bridge fund to be
used in constructing bridges on fed
eral highways.
Burkhart asserted that there is
real need for bridges in the western
part of the state and Twichell said
he had known that since the Willis
ton bridge was provided for as u
glance at the map would show.
Ben Fedje, Williams county, said
farmers in part of Mckenzie county
now are cut off from communication
with the rest Of the county but M.
H. Lynch, Richland county, pointed
out that Williams, Mckenzie and
Mountrail counties have received
$500, 900 Of the 100000 appropriated
for bridges during the last two years.
The proposed bridge will cost $780,
900 Of which the federal government
would pay half, the state IS per cent
and the county Is per cent he said.
He added that one third of the motor
vehicle license fees from which the
bridge fund is obtained were paid by
persons living in the eastern part Of
the state which is. getting little from
the bridge fund.
Fred Ferris, Nelson county, charged
that AN effort was being made to
holdIup the bridge so that the mea-
sure could be used as Grading stock"
to secure certain actions. on other
bills and George Aljets, Wells county,
suggested that farmers in the west
ern part of the state lat least be
given hip boots IL this bridge is re-

The majority committee report
was adopted and the bill will come
up in committee of the whole today.
Flour Label Bill
The flour label bill, backed by Gov
ernor Sorlc, was reported to the
house by the state affairs committee
with n recommendation for passage.
The bill had been amended, however,
to suit L. L. Twichell, chief opponent
of the measure introduced, and
it is expected that Nonpartisan
League members will try to restore
the bill to its original form.
A minority report was expected but
none was presented.
The house reached queer impasse
on the bill to legalize the sale of
snuff and place Il tax on snuff sales.
"A SENATE DlIl VI TepeaI Tic pTcSeHL
law against the sale Of snuff without
establishing a tax was killed by
unanimous vote. A majority of the
state affairs committee recommend
ed indefinite postponement Of the
measure while minority recon-
mended passage.
The house voted down the minority
report and then defeated the majority
report. The bill is scheduled for
consideration in committee Of the
whole today.
The bill to license real estate
brokers and establishing real estate
board-H. b. 105-was recommended
by the committee of the whole along
with H. B. 81, H. B. LOG, H. B. 121
and H. b. 1879.
Only one bill was passed by the

by one-vOte majority, lndcpend-
ents in the North Dakota senate to-
day passed the bill providing for
Withdrawals of entire counties from
the state hail insurance when GO per
cent of the farmers have withdrawn
the previous year.
The fight was on sharplydrawn
party lines, Nonpartisans solidly OPP
posing the measure.
Immediately after the bills pass
age Senator d. H. Hamilton, Nc
Henry county, declared that the bill
would require two-thirds majority
Of the legislature to become effective,
contending that the hail insurance
and that twO-thirds majority is re-
quired to change it.
Maddox Reserves Ruling
Lieutenant Governor Walter Mad
dock said that he was unable to rule
on the question at the time. Later
he stated that he would refuse to
sign the bill if he were convinced that
the tw0-thirds majority is required.
He expressed possibility that an at
torney generals ruling would be
asked.
Senator J. E. Eastgate, Grand
Forks county, who introduced the BILL,
told the senate at the opening of the
discussion that he thought it was fair
to everyone, and would save great
deal of expense in counties where
only a small number of farmers are
insured with the fund. He said that,
if the bill becomes a law, it will be
a virtual primary election on the hail
insurance question this year. The
bill prohibits no one from insuring
with the fund, as special application
may be made in withdrawn counties.
The bill was objected to by Sena-
tors Hamilton, p. o. Satire, Steele
county; Peder L. Hjelmstad, Walsh
county; John w. Benson, Rolette
county; and C. w. Fine, Benson coun-
ty. They termed the measure "a left
handed way of repeating the hail in
surance law" apd contended that the
insurance has been Of great bene-
fit.
Senator C. l.. Bakken, Williams
county, moved that the bill be "indef-
initely postponed" but, on roll call
vote, the motion lost, 25 to "a.
