FIRE VICTIMS
 TO REBUILD

TO REBUILD
 Business houses more spaci. Ous and up to date than their predecessors will replace the more important structures de stroyed in the big fire last week, according to announce ments by the owners.
 Edgar Provinse plans to erect a new building on the former site; the Hyder Drug Com pany will also replace it's old establishment by a larger structure, 30 feet wide and 70 feet long and two stories in height. The Hyder Garage proposes construction of an up to date gaarge and service station 30 feet wide and 50 feet deep, also two-stories high, the upper section con- taining four rooms. Work on the latter structure was start ed early this week and is now we'll advanced.
 The P. Burns Company is al- so understood to be contem- plating the erection of an up to date meat market and cold storage.
 The Hyder Drug Go. building will be a vast improvement over the old structure, which was the first business house constructed in the Lindeborg townsite, having been erected in September 1919. The foundation will be of solid con- crete, with steel and concrete walls. The upper floor will be devoted to office and living quarters. The lower floor will accommodate the drug store and postoffice and will pro- vide increased quarters for the latter establishment. The in- side will be plaster finished and the outside will be stucco. The entire building will be heated by means of a circulat- ing hot water system and will also be provided with running water throughout. MT. Hill al- so plans to erect garage and ware house in the rear of the main structure.
 Edgar Provinse contemplates the erection of a two-story structure of fire proof char acter 40 x 60 feet. The walls will be of the steel and con- crete type. Plans for the build ing have not been fully work ed out as yet, and construction will not start until the return of MT. and Mrs. Provinse from a projected trip to the States, on which they will leave short ly, returning about August 8.
 Proprietor Max Behrmann of the Ideal Cafe plans to estab- fish himself in a new location and does not contemplate re- construction of the fine prem ises destroyed by the fire.

TOWN WATER
 SYSTEM PROPOSED


 Hyder residents will soon en- | joy the advantages of having running water in their homes and shops and for fire protect i've purposes, if proposals sub mitted by the International Electric Company Inc, at the Chamber of Commerce meet I ing Tuesday receive the en- dorsement of Hyder citizens.
 Plans submitted to the meet ling by E. R. Workman and Ernest Blue, president and secretary of the company, em- brace the installation of a complete water system extend ing to all parts of Hyder and ] to Hyder, B. c. and the Pre- fmier wharf. As outlined by MT. Blue, the company plans include the installation of a pumping station near the foot of the mountainside near the so-called 'rock cut" a short distance north of town 1; the construction of a reservoir of approximately 5O,O00 gal Ions capacity about 200 feet up the hill, and the installat- ion of water mains 6 or 8 inch es in diameter along the main thoroughfares to feed private l lines. The first main to be installed would extend from the dam i along Premier Avenue and In- ternational Way and via the Hyder-Stewart road to the Premier dock. Water for the dam would be provided by the pumping plant, pumping from wells, situated at or near the plant. The dam would hold a sufficient supply of water to insure adequate fire protection and also to meet all domestic demands.
 All mains and feed pipes leading to and from the dam would be laid underground at a sufficient depth to be beyond reach of frost, thereby insur- ing an adequate supply of water during the winter months.
 MT. Blue informed the meet ing that the company propos- als were the result of numer- ous requests by citizens and had been worked out with the view of supplying water at the lowest minimum cost com patible with good service. Aft CT pointing out the numerous advantages of a public water works, particularly with re- spect to fire protection, of which the town stands in dire need, MT. Blue said the com pany stands ready to install the proposed system, at it's own cost if enough water con- sumers are willing to support the project and requested that the Chamber of Commerce take up the matter with a view to determining the prob able number of consumers.
 The company also announced it's intention of further increas- ing the present electric power and lighting service by install ing an hydro-electric power plant on Granite Creek, which empties into the. west side of Salmon River about 2lS miles north of town. In connection with the latter proposal, the company sought approval of the Chamber of Commerce for the construction of towers and extension of high pressure lines from the new plant through town.

THREE TASTY
DESSERTS
BY Hannah Wing.

A delicately "crunchy'' dessert
which is sure to delight the chill
dren is Peanut Brittle Delight. To
make 1t. beat one cup of heavy
cream and fold in one cup diced.
sliced Hawaiian pineapple, one and
one-half cups boiled rice, three
fourths cup crushed peanut brittle,
eight chopped marshmallows and
one-half cup pineapple syrup. Chill
and serve piled in a sherbet glass.
Fruit tarts made of flaky pastry
are even more welcome than pie.
Since they are smaller the filling
may be richer. Here is a filling
recipe which is new and destined
to be. popular. Cook one cup
ground pressed figs in two cups
water until soft and thick. like
jam. Add one and one-half cups
crushed pineapple pulp and syrup
six tablespoons of sugar and one
tablespoon flour mixed together.
Pour in two slightly beaten egg
yolks. Cook until thick. stirring
constantly. Cool. Put into small
previously baked pastry shells and
gsrnish the tops with whipped
cream.
Toasted marshmallow mush-
rooms are made of marshmallows
but look like real mushrooms and
thus add the element of surprise
to the dessert course. For the
recipe slice bread and cut out
eight rounds the size OF a slice
OF pineapple. Saute the bread and
slices of pineapple in butter until
golden brown. then place a
circle of pineapple on each slice
of bread. Mix one package of
cream cheese, six tablespoons
peanut butter, few grains of
salt and enough pineapple syrup
10 moisten. Spread thickly on the
pineapple slices and top each one
with a marshmallow. Place I'M
der the broiler until marshmal-
lows are slightly Drowned but not
melted.

moval of hairs there is extremely
painful and not worth while.
Some women use depilatories
with success to remove a slight
growth of hair from the face.
Only the mildest depilatories should
be used on the face. Many wom-
en- like the wax method. others
prefer a mild cream depilatory.
Your beauty parlor, or. better
still. a physician specialist, will
doubtless tell you of reliable
methods and depilatories.
The safety razor is practicable
for use under the arms, unless
you prefer to use depilatory,
which has the same effect. If
you begin using a razor or depila-
tory you will have to keep it up,
for the hairs will return coarser,
so think twice before you begin.

as it may irritate delicate tissue.
Experts all agree that use of
cold cream or oil on the face does
not cause superfluous hairs. Those
who seek their removal are sell
dom users of cosmetics.
A light growth of down on the
face, like the down on the leach,

ADVICE TO
LOVELORN
BY Beatrice Fairfax
NEAR MISS FAIRFAX:

NEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
- have been keeping company
with a young man for the past
year. He claims he loves me. but
keeps our friendship an entire Sc
cret from his mother.
He lost his father some years
ago, and he and his mother are
very much devoted to one another.
I almost feel from different things
he has said, that she would resent
his sharing his affections with
someone else. Do you suppose
that is his reason for being so Sc
cretive about our keeping com
pany? She is not dependent upon
him financially.
He claims that IL anything ever
happened to separate us. he would
be heartbroken. Do you consider
that am wasting my time by con-
tinuing to keep this young mans
company am not as yet en-
gagged to him. / thank you in adj
vance for a reply.
DOUBTFUL.
It Is rather strange that your
friend does, not tel his mother
about you. Possibly, he fears she
may be prompted by jealousy to
try to come between you.
would not consider this matter
very seriously, however. until he
proposes marriage, IL ever he does.
Then. should you accept him. he
viii naturally introduce you to his
mother. and you, If you are wise,
will try to win her affection as
well as her sons.
Tt would be a waste of time to
give him all your time since you
and he are not engaged.

Some of my correspondents
have endured what seem to them
the cause of superfluous hair until
patience has ceased to be virtue.
and they are ready to try any
thing that promises relief. Others,
Stin more unfortunate, have ex-
perimented in removing the hairs
and have disfiguring scars to
show for their mistaken methods.
Please let me warn you to pro-

ter Of removing superf1uous hairs.
Their cause is not fully under
stood by science. Still more Sc
rious, the means used to remove
them may lead to harmful rather
than beneficial results. l receive
many letters from women who
have scars caused by unskillful
application of X-rays for the pur-
pose of permanently removing
hairs. There are on record cases
of cancer caused by. careless use
of the X-ray.

welded only by an expert, prefer
ably registered physician. Hairs
removed in this way sometimes re-
turn, but not for five or six
months. They should then be re-
moved second time by the needle.
The second operation does away
with them permanently.
The process of having hairs re-
moved by the electric needle is
tedious and unpleasant. rather
than actually painful. Also. it is
fairly expensive. But what a
comfort TO have the growth stop

Not all types of skin react well
