Wanous' Orange Cream
For Chapped Hands
THE skin will lie rough, the lips and hands chapped, in
winter, unless you use a toilet cream—like Wanous' Orange Flower Skin Food. This preparation is winning great popularity. It makes the skin soft and velvety. I t heals chapped lips and hands, roughness of the skin, pimples and all skin eruptions.
Why not try it? 50c a jar.

Says Grant to Proposed Electric Company Is Undemocratic; Describes I ts Possible Political Effect; Declares Council Is Acting With Undue Haste, for Which City Will Be Sorry. > > '
F. D. Larrabee, the local attorney, today sent [to Mayor J ; C. Haynes a letter urging him to veto.the franchise which the city council purposes to grant to a new electric company, giving' in detail -his reasons for the request. The letter is as follows:
Within the last thirty days an ordinance has been proposed' to the city council and is now pending before it, which, if enacted into law, will give .a thirty-year franchise to. a private corporation -to lay wires, etc., :with the necessary; earnings,
in politics, spending its money tp elect the very aldermen who are to .choose the arbitrator'upon behalf of the city, and the maximum rates fixed by such board of arbitrators will permit the company to continue to rob the, people by excessive r a t e s .

I t should be pronounced ORpheum, with the accent on the first syllable. This is the pronunciamento of the powers that be in the local learned world, and has been given to the public in the interests of those who are fiercely waging a war of words on the subject of pronunciation.
Co-incident with the opening of the Orpheum theater the word invaded the community and the general public has displayed an ingenious variety of ideas j in pronouncing the word. Some have let " o r P H E u m " drop "trippingly from the tongue"; others have blithely called at the box office for ORpheum tickets, while a certan few have spoken vaguely of the "OrpheUM."
The dictionaries do not include this form of the word. The noun, *' Orpheum, ' ' the name of the Greek deity from which is derived the name of the theater, is 'pronounced "ORpheus. As the dictionaries shed no further light on the subject other authorities, have been consulted and bets may be decided accordingly. -
Dr. Cyrus Northrop, president of the University of Minnesota, says: " I am inclined to believe that the word should be pronounced 'ORpheum.' There is_a law for the pronouncing of words in the English language called the law of recessive accent, according to which the accent is pushed ag far to the front of a word as euphony will permit. / Orpheum' can well be pronounced with the accent on the first syllable; in fact, to the trained ear, the sound of 'ORpheum' is better than the sound of 'Or-PHEum.' "
On the other hand .Professor Charles F. McClumpha of the' English literature department of the state university, says: "The word should be pronounced 'OrPHEum.' The Greek accent is on the second s.yllable, and this is true in the German and French. The modern trend of English is toward giving clas-* sical words their classical pronuncina-tioni = Just as 'museum' should be pronounced 'muSEum,' 'Orpheum' should be pronounced ' OrPHEum.' ' '
Assistant Professor Frances B. Potter of the department of English literature at the state university, says: "The word should be pronounced 'ORpheum.' The analogy to 'museum' is not quite accurate. The closer analogy is to ' Orpheus,' which is accented on the first syllable."
Miss Hilary Peck of the same department, is of the same opinion, while Dr. Charles M. ..Jordan,, superintendent of

DRED AND FIFTY CLOAKS TO NEEDY WOMEN IN MINNEAP^ OLIS.
One hundred and fifty needy women of the city will be made glad this week I !by the."R/WV-Munzej company, the new ' cloak".and suit house at 608- Nicollet. A letter was sent to all clergymen in the city last week, requesting that each one should send three women, in need of warm cloaks, to the Munzer company between Christmas and New Year's, , 1
. A more opportune time for sueb. appropriate and generous giftB could not have tteen named. In the face of the cold, piercing blizzard, a great number of women, who were obviously in need •of a warm cloak, called at the Munzer store this morning and received their garmeiitsl Every woman who left the store was wreath'ed with smiles of grat-' itude, and the happiness of the donor was rendered twenty times greater by the score or more,orrwomenrwho called to receive their cloaks. None was made to feel that she was a caller for charity. Each woman simply had a Christmas ' ' order' ' for a nice, warm cloak, and the appreciation of the. gift was most noticeable. '
The following is a copy of the letter to a well-known Minneapolis, clergyman, and handed by i i m to a Journal, man. The minister was ereiatiy pleased with the well-directed kindness of the Munzer company: *
Dear Sir: A custom I haye carried out ever since I have been able, \& to help as many less fortunate celebrate a Merry
