ADDITIONAL SHOP AT
SILVIS IS COMPLETED
The addition to the roundhouse at
the Silvis shops of the Rock Island
road has been completed and a night
crew put to work. The addition is a
combination shop, where machinists,
bollennakers and blacksmiths make
repairs on engines that are In service.
The chief clerk is busy preparing
the payroll for the 15th. Between
$60,000 and $65,000 will be distributed
among employes of the main shop.
Thirty-seven engines have been over
hauled the last month and 38 are be
ing "treated" at the present time.
Twenty-five are In the "boneyard."
The car department of the plant has
been busy this month, 6,113 freight
cars -having undergone minor repairs.
There are 225 cars In the shop and
they ar being turned out at the rate
of 66 a day.
Spreading o' rails in the Silvis yards
Friday resulted in 15 freight cars leav
ing the track. Twelve of them were
soon placed In "good standing," but
three of them proved too big a prob
lem for the crew and It was necessary
to summon the wrecker. Twenty dol
lars would cover the damage which
resulted.
A Good Complexion
Due Tour Husband
(Women's Fortnightly Journal.)
"No wonder he left her. I don't
blame him. Look at her pimply
face." These words grated on me
when I overheard them on a street
car, but I soon found myself ab
sorbed In mentally weighing both
sides of this little every day ques
tion. Possibly the husband abhorred
an ugly complexion, and his wife
made so effort to get rid of It
Possibilities, pro and con, occurred
to me, bat I wound up all my con
jectures with the firm conviction
that a wife owes It to her husband
to look as attractive as possible.
All women long for a good com- 4
plexlon, but many go about getting
It wrongly and really Injure their
faces by using promiscuous cold
creams and lotions, when what
they need is a real specific The
best one we know of la commonly
called coles ted balsam. It acts
speedily, almost electrically, on the
skin, purifying It of all Impurities
like sallowr.ess, liver spots, pimples,
etc. Get an ounce and a half of
your druggist and your face will
be wonderfully Improved.

Wrinkles at Home
(From Btage Review.)
Pbyalclan are always "harping
way" on the care of the body, and if
a woman aaks them why ber faco is
wrinkled, he answers "Pooh," and
hurries away In quest of a fever or
an appendix. But a woman regards
a new wrinkle in her face as quite
a serious matter. Mere men and
inere physicians do not realise the
importance of a non-wrinkled face,
c the woman proudly conceals her
feellnn and foes stealthily to work
to find a remedy on her own account.
And here Is where she encounters
many pltfa.Ua. She makes the mis
take of buying the most expansive
article on the market, purported and
ztenclvely advertised to cure wrink
les. Or alse she picks out the one
with the loveliest box. whloh In
spires ber with the confidence for
its contenta Icmoraae is her handi
cap. She doesn't know what eaaaea
her wrinkles, nor does she know
that her flash needs a speciflc to
nourish and heat the fibrous tissues
fc eatk the surface . If she would
Imply get an ounce and a half of
pure thermodlsed Jelly of her drug
gist, her troubles would soon be at
slu end. It supplies heat and food,
and the tlsaus "right" therasnlvrs
quickly, and blackheads, double chin,
etc, are soon ail thinks of the past.
