lS electing delegates to the state con-
vention the Republicans should exercise
their very best judgment and greatest
care, for the powers conferred by such an
election give the delegates the right to
act for the individual voters in deciding
who shall go before the people next fall
for election to most of the important
offices of the state, Among the candidates
for election as state delegate in the First
representative district is John w. Phillips,
gentleman who stands high in the es-

A Word About False Hair.

False hair is an abomination. OF course
there comes day when age has swooped
down upon the once luxuriant growth and
carried off great handfuls of glossy tresses
that must be replaced through the agency
of the dealer in hirsute adornments. Then.
and then only is false hair justifiable, yet
it is fact that many women not more
than thrty-fve years of age wear false
bangs because it is such trouble to fix
their own.
This is a terrible mistake, and we have
no doubt that where these lazy ones are
married this very question of false hair
has had much to do with cooling the ardor
of the husband, who perhaps was attracted
largely by the pretty and becoming style
in which his wife arranged her own glossy
locks before marriage. If woman's
browning glory is her hair, why not make
the most of it, instead OF because she is
| tired or it is not actually curly resort to a
pinned on affair, guaranteed for few dol
lars to withstand dampness.
These bangs never deceive any one, and
the transformation at night, when my lady
takes it off and reveals a plain, smooth
pate that is woefully unbecoming, i.
enough to shock any man. Outside of al
this, man thinks that women who trie'
to deceive about her hair will likewise in
dulge in little receptions on other points
and the false bang always proves setbacl
to admiration, no matter how beautiful.

How Moths MultiuIy.

1t is now a clearly defined fact that there
are three distinct species of wool destroying
moths common to this country. The com.
mon species are light brown in color. They
begin to appear late in April and may oc-
casionally be seen about as late as August.
They pair off and the female then
searches for suitable places for the dispo-
sition of her eggs, working her way into
dark corners, crevices of the walls, cracks
in the floor, or deep into the folds of gar
ments, apparently choosing by instinct the
least conspicuous places.
The moth lays from eighteen to one hun
dred and forty eggs at a time. From these
eggs hatch, in a period of three to seven
days, the white, soft Larvae or worms, all
of which begin to make case for them
selves from the fragments of the cloth
upon which they feed. The case is in the
shape Of a hollow roll.
The worm reaches its full growth in
thirty-six days, and then, crawling into
some yet more protected spot, remains tor
pid during the winter within its case,
which by this time is thickened and
fastened at either end and is the full sized
cocoon.
1t is the thirty-six days period from the
time the eggs are laid to the time the worm
or grub reaches full size that the damage

The Arab mares champed the foam
