Marseilles from threatened inundation.

have raged up and down the Illinois,
Fox r n Kankakee valleys since Sunday
night have precipitated upon this large
area, thousands upon thousands of
tons of water in excess of any hereto-
fore encountered. The rivers have
been rapidly rising since yesterday and
the Illinois from far above Marseilles
to the navigable waters below La Salle
is nearly a unite wide and deep enough
in the channel to float the largest lake
vessels. The waters have already risen
some eighteen feet above low water
mark and in this City the situation is
desperate. .

Why is Tears’ Soap—the
best in the world, the soap
with no free alkali in it—
sold for 15 cents a cake ?
It was made for a hospital
soap in the first place, made
by request; the doctors
wanted a soap tiiat would
wash as sharp as any and
do no harm to the skin.
That means \p. soap all
soap, with no free alkali in
it, nothing but soap; there
is nothing mysterious in it.
Cost depends on quantity ;
quantity comes of quality.
All sorts of stores sell
it, especially druggists; all
sorts of people use it, espe-
cially those that know what’s
what.
