FAILING HAIR IS DURABLE

Paris, June l.-Prof E. Fahrig,
the eminent professor of chemistry
|and doctor of science, has made pub
b lie the nature of his latest discov-
Ieries in regard to fibre, human hair
and the microbe which causes dan
druff, falling hair, gray hairand bald
ne-s.
His discovery will, when throsghly
understood, revolutionize the treal-
ment of ALI hair diseases.
In his Treatise lately published he
describes his experiments as, to the
contagious properties of daDdruff, as
caused by the transferring of the
microbe from one person 30 another
in bair brushes ETC., and also ex-
plains how the microbe can be de-
stroyed by proper germicidal and
microbicidal applications.
This treatment, as DIR. Fahrig
makes clear, by destroying the mic
robe also cures the disease of which it
is the cause, and therefore gives per-
manent relief from dandruf and fall
ing hair, and prevents gray hair and
badness even up TO extreme old age,
His formula have been used in the
preparation of Cranitonic Hair Food
as made in Paris at the laboratories
OF the Cranitonic Hair Food Co., ac-
cording to his directions, and this
| article is therefore the only logical
and scientific treatment for all hair
and scalp diseases.

American Women.

1t was just after one Washington
woman with great deal of pride
had been telling of how she saw the
queen jubilee procession in London
two years ago, at the cost of only IS
for her seat, that another Washing
ton woman, the mistress of fash
ionable school for girls, related her
experience. She was in London for
the Jubilee, she and two other Amer
lean teachers, and not one of them
wanted to spend rs for seat, so
they hit upon plan which, strange
as it seems never once occurred to
anybody else in London. On the
morning of the memorable day they
went to a small park-Regent park,
l beleve--which the parade was
to pass. The gates were open, and
they went in. The keeper of the
park rented each of them bench,
and these they dragged close to the
high iron railing which separated
the park from the street. The
park gates were locked as soon as
the procession began to move, and,
although the pavement outside wa
damned, scarcely a score of persons
were inside the inclosure. The
Americans stood on the benches and
had just the finest view of her ma
jesty imaginable, for the queen S
carriage paused for moment d.
rectly opposite them. And for al
the wonderful sights of that grea'
day they paid just precisely cents
apiece for the rent of their seats

CAMELS, HARBoR HATRED.
They Wait Patiently for a Long Time
Until Opportunity Arrives
for Revenge.

The Arab who has angered camel
will throw his clothes upon the ground,
and the Infatuated beast, after stamp
ing on them and tearing them asunder
with his teeth, goes en- his way, and the
driver is thereafter quite safe. as ii
seems TO be an axiom with the camel
that no man shall be put in perl of life
twice for one offense.
The camel is stupid, save when angry,
and then seems TO become almost pre-
ternatural in carrying out its vengeful
designs. Palgrave relates the follow
ing story of a camel's revenge which
serves to illustrate this point: "A lad
Of IA had conducted large camel laden
with wood from one village to another
at half hours distance. AS the ami
NAL loitered or turned out of the way
it's conductor struck it repeatedly. and
harder than it seemed to have thought
lie had right to do. But, not finding
the occasion favorable for taking Inn
mediate quits, it 'bode its time. That
time was not long in coming. A few
DAYS later the same lad had to recon
duct the beast, but unladen, 10 his own
village. When they were about half
way on the road and at some distance
from any habitation. the camel sudden
ly stopped, looked deliberately round
in every direction to assure itself that
no one was in sight. and, finding the
road clear of passers-by, made steI
| forward. seized the unlucky boys head
in its monstrous mouth, and, lifting
him up in the air, flung him down agar
on the earth with the upper part of his
skull completely torn off Having thus
satisfied his revenge the brute quietly
resumed its pace toward the village al
though nothing were the matter, til

distance to be able to afford timely

They are lodged in what Corresponds

Grow Rich on nounties,

Genuine hunters are apt TO sheer at
any kind of trapping and declare that
it is not sport" and perhaps it is not,
but it certainly serves a worthy pur-
pose at times. Two brothers living in
South Dakota are making more than q
hundred dollars week trapping wolves
and coyotes. Liberal bounties are paid
by the state for the hides. These men
own 70 traps, and use mutton for bait
on which is sprinkled a scent which
has the odor of musk. II the wind l.
favorable this scent attracts wolves and
coyotes from miles away. They make
"a bee line toward the spot whence ths
scent proceeds, and while snifiin2
around the scented meat step intosth<
tran and are caught. M
