afternoon at 3 o'clock. Efforts were
being made by those arrested early
this afternoon to arrange bond.
The conviction and fining of Croom
grew out of Monday night's affair
; during the recent agitktion when the
name of Dr. Nesbitt was freely used.
The board agreed to employ the first
candidate for the office who showed
proper qualifications, advising those
urging employment of a wrhole time
officer that this would be done when
when young Potts was so badly beat!the proper man was found. It is be

determined to sift this matter to the
bottom and something may yet de

Speaking from the bench, Recorder
Harris stated that he was determined
to see that visiting soldiers in the
city were accorded every protection,
but added that he did not want them

were to be permitted to do as they
pleased, for this was not meant. They

EFORE my baby came, the trainH
nurse had cautioned me: Have aI
the tiny garments of the best qual
ity and have only as many of eah as you
really need to keep your baby f-esh and
sweet. That is the actually important thing.
Launder his things constantly. Never let
one little garment stay soiled from one
day to the nexL'
"Frbm the very first I used Lux for them. It
was so easy to whip the pure delicate Lux flake
into rich suds so simple to squeere the sues
through the little garments then take them out
absolutely sweet and clean and fresh.
"The little woolens never shrunk a thread
never stiffened or grew thick nt after repeated
ivashings. And his precious little dresses were
always as dainty and fresh as new."
See for yourself how the Lux way of washing
without rubbing keeps your baby's woolens soft and
unshrunken. Your grocer, druggist or department
store has Lux Lever Bros. Co., Cambridge, Mass.

How to Wash Babies
Woolens
Use two tablespoonfuls of Lux to a.
gallon of water. Dissolve the Lux flakes
in boiling or very hot water, and whisk
into a thick lather. Put the little gar
ments in and let them soak until the water
has cooled enough for the hands to bear
with comfort. . Squeeze the suds through
the garments. Do not rub. Rinse three
times in clear water, hot as the water you
washed the garments in; dissolve a little
Lux in the last rinsing water, but do not
beat into a lather.
This leaves the woolens softer and
fluffier. Squeeze the water out. Do not
tnuist. Dry in the shade, and press with a
i warm iron, never hot one. A damp piece
of cheese-cloth will prevent the iron from
scorching or yellowing the garments.
