If you wish to get rid of these troubles, get an ounce of almozoin from your druggist and dis solve it In pint of cold water and add 2 teaspoonfuls of glycerine. Stir briskly and let stand. Apply as you would any complexion cream. I have had friends tell me it was splendid for removing wrinkles. It is unex celled for massaging, and will leave the skin smooth and pliable. This cream contains no oil or anything that' will promote a growth of hair on th& face, and I recommend it for chapped face and hands, also for removing tan and freckles. Jamea J.: Eczema, salt rheum, rashes and similar itching skin dis eases are terribly annoying. The best remedy I know of is made in this way: Get from your druggist 4 ounces ot alcohol and a half-pint of water.

It la the best and most : refreshing tonic I know. Harriet W.: If your eyes feel tired and are dull and inflamed, you need an eye tonic Dissolve an ounce of crystos in a pint of water. One or ,two drops of this in each eye every ;day Is all that Is needed to strengthen 'your eyes and make them bright and sparkling.

As a famous actress recently said: "Nobody loves a fat woman." You ought to reduce your weight t.1 least 20 pounds. Even though other remedies have failed, try this: Dis solve 4 ounces of parnctis in a pint of hot water and take a tablespoonful before each meal. This remedy is pej. fectly harmless and doss not require dieting. I am sure' it will do you a world of good and enable you to re gain your former stylish, slender fig ure. Anna R.: (1) Don't use soap when shampooing. It does more harm than good. It makes the hair stiff and leaves the scalp harsh and dry. Try shampooing your hair every two weeks with a teaspoonful of cwnthrox dis solved in a cud of hot water. I never use any other kind of a shampoo. Can throx lathers freely and gives a de lightful shampoo that dries quickly. It cleans the hair and scalp nicely and stops all irritation. You can get a canthrox shampoo at almost any sham poo parlor, "or you can buy canthrox from your druggist and prepare tho shampoo at home. It makes the hair soft and glossy. (2) For a genuinely good hair tonic, see answer to Katie D. Louise L.: Men certainly can't be blamed for admiring pretty women. The woman with a clear, fresh-looking, youthful complexion deserves at tention. If you want to get rid of that shiny, greasy, muddy lodk to your complexion, the next time you go to the drug store, get 4 ounces of spur max and dissolve it in a half-pint of hot water and add 2 teaspoonfuls of glycerine. This lotion will, not rub off like face powder, but will clear up and whiten the skin, make it soft and smooth, and give you a beautiful com plexion. I find this lotion excellent for rough, sallow skin, cold sores, tan, freckles and pimples. It costs very little and is unquestionably a wonder ful beautifler. Florence: That tired feeling you have on arising every morning shows plainly that your blood is not in good order. You ought to take a good tonic. The best tonic I know of la made by dissolving an ounce cf kardene and a half-teacupful ot sugar in a half-pint of alcohol, and then adding enough boiling water to make a full quart of tonic. Take 1 tablespoonful 5 minutes before each meal and before retiring. It will clear up your blood, relieve you of that tired, lazy feeling, give you renewed energy and remove those pimplea from your face. This tonic will put your blood in good condition, and make you feel like a new woman. My experience shows this tonic an ex cellent one for clearing up a sallow complexion, restoring lost appetite, re moving liver blotches, skin eruptions, and toning up the system , generally. Besides his parents, seven sisters, Florence, Helen, Blanche, Myrtle, Ger trude and Margaret, and two brothers, William and Joseph, survive. INSURED FOR A MILLION Woman Is Head of a Big Business In Chicago. By taking out a life insurance policy for $300,000 Mrs. Charles Netcher, owner of a big Chicago department store, has become the most heavily in sured woman In tho world. The grand total of all Mrs. Netcher'a policies is now $1,000,000. As far as is known, this Is the most life insur ance carried by any woman. The late Mrs. Leland Stanford s line of insur ance was a like amount. The additional $300,000 of Mrs. Netcher was placed by the Chicago manager of one of the big New York companies. Having already insured Mrs. Netcher in his company for its individual limit on a feminine risk, he was authorized to handle the addition al for another company, and this com pany has taken the entire amount. Mrs. Netcher stated that she was taking oat the additional insurance to protect her large business interests. She Is following In the footsteps of her late husband in taking out heavy life insurance. When he decided to erect a big building In 1904 Mr. Netcher took out policies aggregating $500,000, so that the extensive plans might not be interfered with. He died In June of the same year. First Policy For $500,000. In October of 110-1 Mrs. Netcher, hav ing taken up the business, contracted for insurance aggregating 300,000 in four of the large eastern companies. Since then she had increased her line $200,000, and her last addition brings the total to an even $1,000,000. Before taking out her tlrst policy Mrs. Netcher studied the life insurance proposition for some time and had her own ideas as to just what sort of policy she desired. She discussed the matter for some time with the repre sentatives of the company, and finally an agreement was ' reached satisfac tory to herself and the companies. Just what yearly premiums she pays on her policies the rompanies decline to state, but it is understood that her rate is higher than that paid by Mr. Netcher. The annual premium, which he paid only cuee on his $."Q0,000, was $19,9-10. Mrs. Neteher's business acumen has becu shown l;i Lor successful manage ment of aCaira since her husband's death. Other Women With High Insurance. Miss Helen Gould, after Mrs. Netch er, is said to be the heaviest insured woman ia the country, her policies reaching above the iiou.ooo mark.

Maldwin Dmmmond, formerly Mrs. Marshall Field, Jr.. and Mrs. A. J. Graham, wife cf the banker. Their aggregate policies are as follows: Mrs. Frmei3 Carolun, $230,000; Mrs. F. O. Lowden. $250,000; Mrs. A. J. Graham, $100,000; Mr3. Maldwin Drum mond, $100,00). A number c women of tho Euro pean nobility carry large lines of in surance to protect their Interests where estates are entailed; but, as far as is known, none of these approaches Mrs. Netcher as far as aggregate insurance 13 concerned. Actresses and grand opera singers in manj' cases carry much insurance Anna Held is Insured for $100,000, Mnie. Nordicn has a line of $50,000, and Maude Adams carries insurance of $25,000. WANTS NEW COMMANDMENT. Professor Would Put "Thou Shalt Not Get Drunk" Into Deoalogue.' Some changes In the Ten Command ments to make them apply to modern conditions are advocated by Thomas N. Carver, professor of economics at Uarvard university. Professor Carver in particular wants an entirely new commandment dealing with the1 liquor habit. He would have it take the place of the commandment which reads. "Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain." nis substitute commnndment would read, "Thou shalt not drink to drunk enness nor bewilder thyself with strong drink." "The employment of the word God and like blasphemies as fhey are ut tered today have lost their old time significance," said Professor Carver. A Scalded Boy's Shrieks horrified his grandmotner.

The child stopped at ! the side gate on Ninth street to look at the wolf. Just how far she entered the yard is not known. The wolf on discovering the child eprang upon her, fastening his teeth in the calf of one leg. She freed herself after an ugly wound had been inflicted, and ran home. A physician was summoned to attend her. Unless complications arise the girl will recover, though the limb may become black for a time as a result of having come in contact with the wolf's fangs. Mr. Van Este has always kept the wolf chained .'n his yard and the animal must have been teased by someone to have caused the attack on the child. To Settle in West. Maurice J.

Lewis Clark of Spokane, Wash., a retired capitalist and railroad builder, for a substitute title to be adopted by the national dry farming congress, which will have its fifth ses sion in Spokane early next fall. His object is to secure a name which will be iraore appropriate than the present one. Many officers and mem bers of the organization believe that it gives the wrong impression of the aims and purposes of the congress In that the title dry farming is a mis nomer. An attempt to, change the name of the organization at Billings. Mont., last month resulted in a clash, and the title remained as formerly. New Wireless System In Russia.

People who practice deep breathing and who use ordi nary care to avoid suddeu changes of temperature, damp ness and exposure, are less li able to take cold than those cf less methodical habits. At the first sign of a cold steps should be taken to check it. A simple inexpensive and effective reme dy is made by mixing two ounces of glycerine, a half ounce of Virgin Oil of Tine compound pure and eight ounces of pure whisky. It is claimed by the Leach Chemical company of Cincinnati, who prepare the genuine Virgin Oil of Pine compound pure for dis pensing through druggists, that a teaspoonful of this mix ture four times a day will break up a cold in 24 hours and cur any cough that is curable. cocooooooooooooooooooooooo THAT PALLID, ASHEN HUE The forewarning of diseased kidneys' deadly work is in the gray ptllor of your face Day by day, there are people men and women gradually drifting along taking little heed of the first signs of diseased kidneys and bladder until the time for a cure is past. There is then little to hope for. Few persons even faintly comprehend the exces sively deadly character of Kidney and Bladder ailments. If they did they would in no case delay seeking a cure. Such Insistent signals of danger as those intermittent pains and "hitches' In the back, groin and limbs (or con stant dragging pains in back), head aches, bloating of the extremeties, nervousness, tired-out feeling, sleep lessness at night, etc. should con vince you that your system Is charged with that deadliest ot all systemic poisons uric acid. . And uric acid in your system, sure ly means Kidney and Bladder disease and, later, chronic rheumatism, in flammatory rheumatism, gravel and gall-stones, dropsy, diabetes, serious nervous disorders, and Brlght's Dis ease. You will readily see why you cannot afford to delay. I DeWITT'S KIDNEY AND BLADDER PILLS are the best remedy In the world for all such conditions. This statement DeWITTS KIDNEY AND BLADDER PILLS f IT IT Or Gilt-Edged A. Home rs0" We have a proposition which we wish to submit to anyone look ing for a home which they can buy on easy terms or for a piece of gilt edged Income property. The property is located In the east part of the city and con sists of two houses on a large lot 60x130. The location is de sirable and convenient to street cars and the houses are never vacant. One house with 10 rooms rents at $ 19. The other, a neat five room cottage rents at $10. Both have city water anl sewer. The price is $3,400. The terms, $500 cash down and the bal ance at $25 per month. This is particularly desirable for anyone employed at the ar senal or Molino shops on account of the location and Is especially suited to a young married man who could live in the cottage and rent the other house. For one situated so as to handle It In this way the proposition would figure as follows: Annual income from large house at $19 per month $228.00 Taxes f 87.50 Water rent '. 1S.OO Insurance O.OO First year's interest 160.00 $223.50 Balance over expenses ........... $4.50 In other words you would have free rent and a balance of $4.60 besides to apply on repairs which would be very light. The $25 per month which you pay would, every cent of it, apply on the prin cipal, cutting it down at the rate of $300 per year and reducing the interest correspondingly. The price at which these properties are offered would not build the houses themselves to say nothing of the value of the lot. Yon are getting a sacrifice price on easy terms. We can say honestly that we have not seen a proposition to equal it since we have been in business. Our office is open Wednesday and Saturday evenings from 7 8:30.
