TO FIGHT TYPHOID TEST MILK AND WATER SUPPLY Proceries, Restaurants and Other. Places to Be Investigated—Physicians to Reports—Over a Hundred Cases in City. Des Moines, Dec. 2.—Tvery place in Des Moines where a typhoid germ might be bred, and every food substance of general use in which a typhoid germ might find refuge will be investigated by health officers at once in an effort to attain the typhoid epidemic. On a hundred cases reported in the city. This plan was agreed upon by the state health board, the city health board and the city council in a joint session held at the state house. After expanding the theories on bacillus of various kinds the health board decided that the best way of proceeding was first to make much information available to the committee that now exist in Mothers, then proceed to wipe out every condition that might give rise to the disease. From now on Health officers will secure data and new each case of the disease will be reported in to the health department by physician. There is no law requiring cases of typhoid to be reported. The water supply and the milk supply will be tested, streets and alley, refrigerators in grocery market meals, candy kitchen and all places where food will be thoroughly tested.

In the opinion of Dr. Moerke, president of the state board of health, the fact that the cases of the disease in Des Moines are scattered throughout the city does not necessarily indicate that the city water or milk supply is the cause.

BABY'S SCALP CRUSTED "Our little daughter, when three months old, began to break out on the head and we had the best doctors to treat her, but they did not do her any good. They said she had scarcity. Her scalp was a solid scale all over. She could not rest, day or night. We had about given up all hopes when we read of the Cucurea Remedies. We as once got a cake of Cucurea Soap, a box of Cucurea Ointment and one bottle of Cucurea Resolvent, and followed directions carefully. After the first dose of the Cucurea Resolvent applied the Cuticura Ointment. She began to improve rapidly and in two weeks the scale came off her head and new hair began to grow. In a very short time she was well. She is now sixteen years of age and a picture of health. We used the Cucura Remedies about five weeks, regularly, and then we could not tell she had been affected by the disease. We used no other treatment after we found out what the Cucricura Remedies would do for her. J. Flah and Ella M. Fish, M. Vernon, KY, Oct. 19, 1989. "Round to a Cur."

Joe awful hard for a little woman to impress people with her dignity. have at hand, into something beautiful. I recall a lady who used to buy an ugly house, move into it, and begin making changes outside and in. in about two years the whole place was simply transformed and she did spend the time happily and busily. But her occupation was gone, so she would look up another place that needed regenerating and put that which she had completed on the market. She cashed in her ideas and went happily to work again. The little city in which she lives is beautiful and she is one of the chief educators and she is one of the chief educators of flasters. She shows others how to improve their surroundings. I know another woman gifted in managing interiors. She had little money, less time, for she was a earner; but she was a facet of making, things sweet around her. I want to tell you of the Christmas decorations which transformed her small home into a sort of bewitching Christmas bower, not to be forgotten and get fashioned from just the same things we have at hand. This is her recipe: Sometimes before Christmas, say six weeks, buy a roll of dark red crape paper and one of olive green crape paper, also a sheet of yellow tissue paper. Buy some cheap bonnet from a miller. Use a real noiseless roll of paper, buy one already made of paper, and proceed to make up two dozen poinsettia blossoms. First cut patterns, from a piece of wrapping paper, of the petals of the poinsettia. Open the rolls of crape paper and stretch them. A roll of ten feet will stretch to fifteen feet, and a roll of ten feet some purposes. To stretch the paper, some one hold one end for you while you pull the other gradually, or tack POINTEA Why Rent a Farm and be compelled to pay to your landlord most of your rent for the year you own the farm. Secure a Free Homestead 'in Bonbon Basket of Paper, Tinsel Star, Poinsettia Flowers, Paper Bells. one end to the floor, stretch the paper, and tack the other end, allowing it to remain for a few hours. Cut from the red paper, according to your wrapping paper patterns, the petals, which will be in three sizes. Cut a yard of the green paper into lengthwise strips, half inch wide, with which to wind the wire for stems. A piece of wire, six or eight inches long, is cut off. Four little wads of the yellow tissue paper the size of a large pea, are each covered with a little piece of the same paper, an inch square. This is brought over the wad and twisted into a little stem. Then little wads are fastened to the end of the pieces of wire by winding with a coarse thread or a fine spool wire. The latter is best. Place two or three small petals of the red paper around the end of the wire, fastened the yellow wads and fastened the them with thread or wire. Next place larger petals and finally the largest size following the natural blossom, or the paper one bought for a guide, as nearly as possible. Wind the wire stem with green tissue paper. Pull the edges of the petals slightly to give them a natural look. As the paper poinsettia blossoms are finished put them in a hat box. In two or three evenings as many as may be needed, are easily made.

For foundations use little card-board dishes such as confectioners use for Charlotte Russe, or those which may be bought for the purpose. Make handles of wire. Cover the basket inside and out with the red paper, pasting it to place and pulling the edges into ruffles. Make as many little baskets as there are guests-to-be. Cover the hand's edge by wrapping the wire with narrow strips of the red paper. Finish with little bows made of baby ribbon or narrow strips of red paper, either in red or green, but the little baskets away with the poinsettia. Next a few candle or electric light shades are to be made. As the crane paper costs no more when fire-proofed, one should specify the fireproofed variety by buying it. Gather your candle sticks together and place a red candle in each if red shades are to be used. Shades may easily be made of paper dolls in white or paper napkins, with red figures stamped on them, and white candies are better with these. Cut out cardboard disks five and one-fourth inches in diameter with circles cut from the center, two inches in diameter. These rest on the metal shade supports. From the paper napkin or dolly, cut a circle at the center three and one-half inches in diameter. With a needle and thread gather this up to fit the metal support.

The card-board dish may be covered with red paper padded on. A fringe of the paper is sewed about the edge. There are any number of pretty little lamp shades in red which may be bought for ten cents each; but the fringed idea is easily carried out, and repeated in lamp shades, and costs almost nothing. Strips of red crape paper 7 inches wide are cut crosswise of the paper and then cut into a fringe around the edge. This fringe pasted around the edge of a previously covered, which have been made covered, with the red paper, makes a pretty shade. Lamp shades are also easily made of fringed paper.

This is a simple home recipe new being made known in all the larger cities through the newspapers. It is intended to check the many cases Rheumatism and dread kidney trouble of swolls and many cripples, which have weakings of some of our brightest and strongest people. The druggists everywhere, even in the smallest communities, have been notified to supply themselves with the ingredients, and the sufferer will have no trouble to obtain them. The pres- cription is as follows: Fluid Extract Dandelion, one half ounce; Compound Kargon, one ounce, and Compound Syrup of Saraparilla, one ounce. The dose is one teaspoonful after each meal and at bedtime. Recent experiments in hospital cades prove 'his simple mixture effective in Rheumatism. Because of its positive action upon the eliminative tissues of the kidneys, it compiles these most vital organs to filter from the blood and system the waste impurities and uric acid which are the cause of rheumatism. It cleanses the kidneys, strengthens them and removes quickly such symptoms as backache, blood disorders, bladder weakness, frequent urination, painful scalding and discolored urine. It acts as a gentle, thorough regulator to the entire kidney structure. Those who suffer and are accustomed to purchase a bottle of medicine, should be prepared to follow it after making the tip, or have your drugrist do it for you.

THE ORIGINAL HAIR GROWER We Grew Our Hair, Now Let Us Grow Yours with PORO TRADE MARK REGISTERED. When we first began our wonderful work of growing all kinds, all qualities, all lengths, and all conditions of hair, even to the growing of hair on bald places of the head, many persons scorned the idea that such a thing was posi- ble; but we have grown the hair for hundreds; rapidly achieving success. The proof of the value of our work is that we are being imitated and largely by persons whose own hair we have actually grown and the further fact that they have very frequently mentioned us when trying to sell their goods (saying that theirs is the same or "just as good") or referred to PORO. We advise you to use only PORO Hair Grower, (the oldest and best of its kind.) See that the name PORO is on every box, not genuine without it. Prepared only by Mrs A. M. PORO. Beware of imitations.

When we first began our wonderful work of growing all kinds, all qualities all lengths, and all conditions of hair, even to the growing of hair on bald places of the head, many persons scorned the idea that such a thing was posi- ble but we have grown the hair for hundreds, rapidly achieving success. The proof of the value of our work is that we are being imitated and largely by persons whose own hair we have actually grown and the further fact that they have very frequently mentioned us when trying to sell their goods (saying that their is the same or "just an good") or referred to PORO.

To Whom It May Concern: I find it a pleasure to say a word in praise of Madame Perkins and her remarkable success in scientific scalp treatment. Madame Perkins, for many years a maiden of Denver, is an active member of Zion Baptist church, and one of the most favourable known women in our state. The beautiful hair of hundreds of women in our city and other parts of the state is a tribute to her phenomenal success in her profession. The wonderful growth of her own hair is a most remarkable testimony. I cheerfully recommend her to all ladies who may be interested in the growing and beautifying of the hair. DAVID E. OVER, Pastor Zion Baptist Church. To Whom It May Concern: Having taken Mrs. T. D. Perkins' treatment for the hair for about nine months, I can say it has given perfect satisfaction in every way. My hair was not two inches long when I began to take the treatment, and was very uneven. In some places I could not get it up at all. In these nine months my hair has grown six and one-half inches in length all over my head. I can adhere to her instructions in the treatment of Mrs. Perkins, following her instructions, they will have the same result as I have. I cannot praise Mrs. Perkins' treatment enough. Try them. Philadelphia, Pa., Dec. 19, 1909. Dear Mrs. Perkins: Your letter at hand, and I am very glad to hear from you. My hair is doing fine, I must say. I am greatly pleased with it.

Philadelphia, Pa., Nov. 13, 1908. Mrs. T. D. Perkins, Denver, Cole. Dear Madam: I now write you what your wonderful hair remedy has done for me. My hair had been falling out for over a year, it came out in spots long ago, and it was hard to find and maintain it. My hair scaled like it had been scalded. After using your treatment three months the scalp began looking better and the blackheads and pimples disappeared. New hair came in and after using your remedy six months my hair was all in again. I also had the worst case of dandruff. Your shampoo and scalp treatment have cured me after hundreds of other remedies had failed. I cannot praise your remedy half enough, and advise all others to try them as I have, and they will find good results if they follow full instructions. I am, yours truly. EVERRETT S. P.

Many persons find themselves affected with a persistent cough after an attack of influenza. As this cough can be cured promptly by the use of Chmberlain's Cough Remedy, it should not be allowed to run on until it becomes troublesome. Sold by all druggists. I would have written before this: I trust you had a safe trip home. When I want to tell you how well pleased I am with your scalp treatment. I feel that I can stand before the glass and see my hair growing. I must tell you I would not be without your treatment for anything. It was the good Lord that caused me to write to you in regard to my hair. I wish you success in your work and trust you will help others as you have helped me. Dear Madam: I have been thinking for some time of writing and telling you how well my hair is doing. Since using your treatment my hair has those little pins in. Your treatment is indeed wonderful and I am very proud to have met you and have you give me my first start in growing my hair.

To Whom It May Concern: After reading in the Philadelphia Tribune of Madam T. D. Perkins, the Dear Madam Perkins. This is the third month I have used your scalp treatment, and I am greatly pleased with its success. My hair has grown more than four inches, and has taken on new life. It is very soft. I am pleased with the treatment Philadelphia, Penn. April 21, 1910. Scalp Specialist of Denver, Colo., demonstrating in Philadelphia, I decided to write her relative to my hair. I received a prompt reply, and sent for her treatment at once. Being so well pleased with the same request to Philadelphia, I was delighted to receive her treatment. So wonderful for the hair, as her treatment. My hair started to grow from the very first, the treatment not only causes the hair to grow, but removes dandruff and makes the hair soft and glossy. My husband thinks my hair is beautiful. I will be happy to help her with her hair. I want good hair to write Madam Perkins, for she is doing just what she advertises to do, for those that will carefully follow her instructions. Dear Mrs. Perkins: How much I wished I had known you years ago, and taken your treatment for the hair. I would have had better hair today if I had. In the few months I have used your treatment there is such a decided change in my hair and scalp. This is the best treatment I ever used or heard of, before, as if your customers would trust truth they will say the same. I know, as if I would have able to buy more of our women knew of your work and would take your treatment. I have known Mrs. T. D. Perkins more than ten years and never knew her to have hair more than two inches long until the past three years. I was more than surprised, when she took her hair down to prove it was all her own. I put my scalp in her charge at once, and words can nover tell the undeniable results of her treatment. I have tried so many hair treatments that I have never been able to maintain. I proved beyond a doubt her knowledge of the care of the scalp. I trust every woman who may read this will write Mrs. Perkins and secure a place in her class for treatment for beautifying and growth of the hair. Madam T. D. Perkins, 4630 West Third-fifth Ave., Denver, Colo. Dear Madam: I have been using your hair treatment for four months, and I must say it is wonderful. My hair was so short I could hardly pin it up when I began using it, and in one week's time I could see an improvement. I have used it many times and it has never been more wonderful. You has. I can without exaggeration say this is the most wonderful tone I have ever used. My hair has grown wonderfully since I used it, and I must say I am highly pleased with the method of treatment, and I will well recommend you to anyone wanting their hair to grow. Any one wishing to know more about this wonderful treatment and its growing qualities can write or call at my address, 1858 North Clark Street, Chicago, Ill. Monroe, Va., Sept. 28, 1910. Dear Madam T. D. Perkins. I take great pleasure in writing you a few lines, to let you know how well I like your scalp treatment. I think it is fine. Yes, it is grand. My scalp is clean and my hair is black and full of life, and is growing nicely.
