Mary was a comely mist
whose encaging strip-tease danco
ended with a dash off the stage,
her last garment fluttering to

show was run on the camp

TAXES AT MEET
MERRILL City fathers in a
wordy session opened the New
Year Thursday night by unani
mously voting lo raise all oc
cupational taxes SO per cent,
announced appointment of a
new city marshal, appqlntcd a
new councilman and put all
city collections under the Juris
diction of a city bookkeeper.
Holdover business that failed
lo get attention during the reg
ular session will come before
the council at a sncclal session
called by Paul Lewis, president
of Iho council, for next Thurs
day night.
While no list of the new tax
rates was Immediately avail
able, the adjustment was made
to meet growing city needs lor
financing future city Inuirovc-
mcnt programs. Taxes levied
soma years ago have for many
months proved inadequate.
Ed Davis, recently marshal
at Chlloquin and prior to his
term of office there, city mar
shal here for about five years,
has again been appointed to that
office here, taking over his
duties January 1.
Thomas W. Chatburn, Merrill
attorney, will be employed in
the future as city bookkeeper
to be responsible for collection
of all city revenues. Since the
city charter calls for election of
a recorder, Mrs. Eva Bowman,
who is the present incumbent,
will continue to issue all war
rants. Mayor Frank E. Trotman de
clared the office of councilman
to which Orrin Moore was elect
ed last November, vacant and
appointed Dale West to fill the
chair for the four-year term. It
is expected he will be sworn in
at the special session next
Thursday.
Moore, who has failed to
qualify since his election, will
report January 24 for his pre
lnduclloii physical.
Paul L o w i s, by unanimous
vote of the council, will serve
as president.
Mayor Trotman and Council
men Paul Lewis, Tom Barry, C.
E. Sharp and Recorder Bowman
were present.

According to Mrs. Bert Haw

SRF Night Cream and Day
Lotion, the Sperti Labora
tories products containing Bio-
dyne R, have
come in for a
lot. of mention
here, but there's
lots to be said
about them. The
Night Cream,
which contains
a carefully bal
anced formula
of luxuriant
emollient oils, plus 2000 units
of Biodyne R an ounce, should
be applied at night after you
clean your face. The' Biodyne R
stimulates the taking-in of
oxygen from the blood-stream
and, from the surrounding at
mosphere, which is a function
of the cell life in the skin tis
sue. Actually, your skin loses
its vital fresh, youthful appear
ance as skin breathing de
creases. THE Day Lotion, which con
tains tho same amount of
Biodyne R as the Night Cream,
should be used on your face in
the morning before you apply
your make-up. It will not inter
fere with the use of any type
make-up.
e e
THE benefits of SRF are not
1 limited to a certain age
group, either . . . women over
30 will benefit immensely, and
women under 30 can keep their
naturally healthy skin in its
usual good condition, and guard
against the ravages of dryness,
wrinkles, and the crcpencss
that will surely come their way
unless proper precautions are
taken.
DEMEMBER the name, SRF,
