first contract which calls for ths con
struction of a one-story warehouse for
Alice B. Howell, . wife of R. B. Howell, on
Tenth street, between Capitol avenue and

Tha Adams Express company has an
nounced that It will withdraw from the
commodity carrying business. A circular
has been sent to local agents of the com
pany to that effect.
A few weeks ago the business men
were exercised over the attitude of tha i
A&ams Express company when It sent!
circulars to Its agents asking them, em
ployes and friends to buy goods of east
ern houses In order to Increase the vol
ume of express business.

race powder simply covers op an
unattractive complexion, and leaves
bo lasting- benefits. Those who have
tried a simple spurmax face lotion
find It much better, aa it removes
skin dlscoloratlona, such as freckles
and tan, and makes the skin smooth,
white and velvety. This lotion Is
made by dissolving four ounces of
spurmax In one-halt pint hot water,
then adding- two teaspoon fula glyc
erin, This complexion beautlfler does
not rub off or show like powder, and !
gives a more refined appearance.
It removes both shlnlness and sal
lowneas. rapidly giving the skin a
permanent, healthy, youthful appear
ance. An especially fine shampoo for thla
weather can be had at trifling ex
pense by dissolving a teaspoonfu of
can thro i In a cup of hot water. Pour
slowly on scalp and massage briskly.
This creates a soothing, coollna
lather that dissolves and removes all

ing leaves tbe scalp spotlessly clean,
soft and pliant, while the hair takes
