Every woman in the village is in- vited to help by taking a ticket and it is desired to have those who can do so take care of one or more tables. Oh Man! How raw your face feels after shaving. A great many men shave themselves and a large number of these men have never found a good after shaving lotion. If the beard is a little heavy or tough, your face will be raw and smarting after the shave, regardless of the kind of razor or shaving soap used. We have a lotion which we started making in mid-winter and recommended for chapped hands. During the last month we have been selling about as much of the lotion to men to use after shaving as we had been selling for chapped hands. It's good, men, and will quickly and effectively relieve a smart- ing face. A three ounce trial size for twenty-five cents. Smiling Service Community Pharmacy CHAS. R.

The start is made from the main ARRANGE MOTOR COACH TOURS TO THE DELLS Members of the faculty of North- western University and their families already are planning for early sum- mer and, later, for longer vacation tours in the picturesque lake region of Illinois, Michigan and Wisconsin. One of the latest plans to attract the favorable attention of educators and their families is a series of special coach tours which are now being organized by the Chicago, North Shore and Milwaukee railroad. Dur- ing the summer students of botany, geology and related topics love to ramble about and study Nature first- hand. The professorial instructor also delights in the "open" and is making similar plans; and, apparently, so is his family. North Shore line station in Chicago at 8:30 c"clock but the N. U. coterie will be picked up at a convenient spot in Evanston. The route lies along the north shore through Wil- mette, Kenilworth, Winnetka, Glencoe, Highland Park, Lake Forest, Kenosha to Lake Geneva where there will be lunch; then qn to Madison where there will be a boat ride on Lake Mendota and thence to The Dells via Devil's Lake, Baraboo and Kilbourne.
