came within a few hours of losing his
command. The authorities so the story
runs had become tired Of the Spanish dill

that the surrender must be Forthcoming

Thus early in our association with the
insurgents is the fact made plain that it
is not the intention of the administration
to become involved in any alliance with
the insurgents. There has been no step
taken so far that indicates any design
on the part of the administration to reeog-
nize the insurgents or their so-called re-

hostiliHes be stopped while a pebiscite is
held to see whether the Cubans wish 10

navy. the capture of one of her strong

FALLING
HAIR
RESTORED

Soon after 1 was taken i'll my hair COM
menced to fail, so that each day morele came
out than 1 thought had in my head. I was
turning gray rapidly. Finally I became afraid
to have it combed, but the nurse said that
wouldn't do, and used vaseline to keep it
in, then used beef's marrow, then quinine
tonic, and finally (CUTICURA ointment), which
helped it Immediately. The nurse said she
rubbed up fine white dust from the scalp
where she could see nothing before COM
mencing, and the scalp looked healthier and
more natural every day. Now 1 haven't as
many gray hairs as when commenced using
CUTIoURA, and / have crop of fine brown
hair all over my head about an inch and q
half in length. 1 only lose few hairs when
combing every day, and always more gray
than brown. My nurse is delighted because
the new hairs are brown. L never had very
luxuriant hair, even in my youth. 1t is as
thick on my head today as it ever was, and
CUTICURA did it. Mrs. j. M. LAWSON,
