wealthy men from Colorado Springs
and Coronado, Cal., went out in a

This Will Soon Banish
All Objectionable Hairs
(Modes of Today)
Beauty specialists have discovered a
new and simple method for ridding
the skin of obnoxious hair or fuzz and
Invariably but one application is re
quired to obtain the desired results. A
paste is made with powdered delatone
and water and applied for 2 minutes
to the hairy surface, then rubbed off
and the skin washed and dried. This
treatment removes every trace of hair
and leaves the skin firm and smooth.
Disappointment will be averted If you
buy the delatone in an original pack
age.

Only a Few Days
and Pimples Go!
All Skin Eruptions Disappear and
Complexion Made Clearer
Than Can Any Face
Cream Ever Known
Never before has such a powerful
effective pimple eradicator, skin and
face purifier and blood cleanser been
known as Obbac, which contains a
tropical herb not heretofore commonly
known to produce remarkable purifying
results on the blood.
( Obbac is a simple, safe, internal rem
edy, which does wonders in clearing
| tlio complexion as no face cream or
other face treatment can ever do. Re-
I suits in a few days are striking. It Is
! exceedingly pleasant to take. Children
take it willingly. All pimples, muddi
! ness, sallowness, bolls, carbuncles and
| skin eruptions quickly disappear. It
| has also a very beneficial effect on the
digestion and is a splendid tonic.
This simple remedy should be in
every home. A 50-cent bottle of the
concentrated Obbac Is mixed at home in
a few moments with water and a little
sugar to suit the taste and this makes
two pints of the most effective blood
| cleanser ever known, to be used by
every member of the family. A 50-
cerit bottle makes $2.50 worth of this
simple remedy, enough for a family
supply, and you save $2.
Obbac is guaranteed absolutely to
satisfy or your money is refunded
cheerfully. Get a 50-cent bottle of con
centrated Obbac from your druggist
or he will gladly get it for you. If not,
send to the Obbac Co., 1130 Commercial
Bldg., Chicago. 111.

tion.
The principal witnesses againstVala
da were his pretty swter-in-law, Mar
cia Todorov, with whom he attempted
to elope, and his wife, who sat with a
six-months-old baby in her arms.
Valada, according to the witnesses,
had tired of his wife. Dona, and her
younger and more attractive sister,
Marcia, appealed to him. He fell in
love with her and asked her to elope
with him.
The pretty sister consented and they
carefully laid their plans. Marcia told
her sister slje was going to Harris
i burg to get work in a store; Valada
told his wife he was going to the city
to see a friend about some money
due him. Together they came to Har
risburg, where they planned to take
a train for Reading and be "mar
ried."
In some manner, however, an ink
ling of their plans reached the ears
of Dusan Todorov, a brother of the
wife and girl with whom the hus
band w~e eloping. He set out in hot
pursuit. He searched the streets of
Harrisburg without success. Then he
hastened to the Pennsylvania station.
They were not there. Over to the
Heading station he hurried. Here he
spied his sister and his brother-in-law
about to board the train.
There was a scene and blows were
exchanged. Dusan overpowered Vaia
da and turned him over to the police.
He then took his sister home. This
morning the deserted wife and sister
sat side-by-side in the squire's office
and tearfully told their stories.
Valada was committed to jail in de
fault of bail.

tion company completes enough of the

this phase of the Job will be hurried as
rapidly as possible.
While the improvement work on the
Paxton creek is the only one of the
three big jobs under the jurisdiction
of the Hoard of Public Works that has
been started thus far, the lowering of
the river it is expected will mark the
| resumption of the operations on the
river wall. The dam cannot be con
tinued until the water gets down to
the summer level which will probably
mean it will be June 15 before this
job is resumed.
To-morrow or Monday the first in
stalment of iron work that will be
required for the new Dock street
bridge will be delivered by the Penn
sylvania Steel Company. The stone
to be used in the abutments is being
prepared and with the arrival of the
iron superstructure it is expected that
the construction of the viaduct can
be proceeded with uninterruptedly.
"We want to get this bridge finished
as early as possible," said Commis
sioner Lynch to-day, "because the peo
ple in the lower end of the city have
been without a direct way across the
railroad tracks for months and they
should be accommodated as soon as
this can possibly be done."

Two Weeks or More in Colo- |
rado—as Inexpensive as Home |
You will be surprised to learn how
little it costs to spend two weeks or
more in Colorado. I have corrected
many wrong impressions about Colo
rado's Hotels and Boarding Houses and
my road, "The Burlington," (C. B. & Q.
R. R.) now gets out a booklet show
ing how reasonably and pleasantly
one can spend a vacation in Colorado.
"I would love to go to Colorado on
my vacation this summer, but the
Hotel prices are so high"—used to be
the expression of many. Five minutes'
talk convinced them otherwise. Colo
rado has her share of elaborate Hotels,
but Colorado lias lots of comfortable
boarding places whero the rates are as
low as SB.OO a week—clean surround
ings, and wholesome appetizing fare.
I would like to send you a copy of
our booklet. It will give you an en
tirely different Idea about Colorado's
Hotel expenses, a complete list of
Hotels and boarding houses, their loca
tions, rates, conveniences, elevations
and other information. In addition, it
gives full particulars on Colorado
