To Crimp Hair On Damp Days

To Keep the hair in crimp take
two cents worth of gum arabic
and add to it just enough boiling
water to dissolve it. When it is
dissolved, add alcohol until the
mixture is rather thin. Let it
stand over night and then bottle.
Moisten the hair with it before
curling and it will remain in
crimp on damp days. The mixture
is not injurious to the hair.

OBsERvANT physicians are, it
is said, beginning to believe that
appendicitis and grip have a re-
lation of effect and cause. Appen-
dicitis was never so common as
it has been since grip visited,
this country and a physician
who has performed many opera
tons for the cure of tie former
advances the theory that grip pro-
duces a catarrhal condition of the
vermiform appendix that finally,
in some cases, induces the state
of acute Inflammation to which
the name appendicitis is applied.

PRIDE OF OUR NAVY.

Under this caption the Richmond Dis
Patch notes what is being said OF
the unsatisfactory condition of the big
oattleship Indiana, and especially of her
armament and In comment, says:
Fruely. these statements are I'm strik-
ing contrast with the tremendous puff
,ns the Indiana has received from the
Northern press ever since she was LAUGH
eu. We do not wish the pride OF our
navy any harm, and sincerely hope
mat the defects she has developed may

suggest that until that work shall have

our Northern contemporaries to stop

cause she WAS constructed at the Nor

TEE ELECTION OF SENATOR'S.

Recent events have. no doubt, had
something to do with the adoption of
the report by the Senate providing for
the election of United States Senators
by direct vote Of the people, though for
some time the tendency OF the public
mind has been inclined that way.
Senators. like Representatives, are
supposed to go To Congress to represent
the people. and that being the case. the
question comes up. Why should they
not owe their election direct to those
whom they represent? II is often the
case that the will of the people IS
thwarted by the use of improper meth
DDS in the election OF United States Sen
ators. and doubtless 1t was to render
this impossible in future that the resolu-
ton providing for the election by the
people was adopted.
| II is true that the old system has been
IN vogue for hundred years, but con-
| onions have so changed that It has be-
come necessary to adopt a course in
Keeping with present, rather than past
conditions. 1t should no longer be pos
SIDE for INSCRIPTIONS aspirants for
senatorial honors to attain such hon
ors by unfair means. 1t is not always
aitlicult to reach and influence a small
majority in Legislatures. but such a

election of Senator's left to the deci.
sion OF the great mass Of voters.
