MARYLAND Girls,

Census reports are not generally In
teresting 10 ladies, but some figures
that are printed in The Sun today d.
rectly concern them and will doubtless
attract their attention. 1t seems the
female population Of Maryland exceeds
the male by 9,49i, there being 5s9,2I5
males In the state and sos, 100 females.
Maryland women, however, are not like
those Of Massachusetts. who are in a
hopeless majority because the demand
for them Is not equal TO the supply.
Maryland women are so attractive and
so delightful that ii Is necessary to pro-
duce them in large numbers TO meet the
demands of the matrimonial market
abroad as we'll as at home. The appar-
ent excess of Maryland females Is only
statistical. 1t is not real or genuine.
There could not be, in the nature Of
things, an excess of Maryland women.
When the bachelors of other sections
hear of Maryland's surplus feminine
crop there will be n general rush from
all quarters to secure as wives women
who for sweetness, beauty, ~cleverness
and capacity are chief among 10,000,OO 0
and altogether ovely.-Baltimore Sun.

ready to go out OF existence.
The report will be presented to
President Roosevelt for transmission

guam route az the most feasible and
most practicable for an isthmian
canal to be ''under the control, man.
agement and ownership OF the United
States"
The Panama canal route is practi-
cally ignored because 1t aas been i'm
possible to secure from President
Hutin of the Panama Company any
offer for the sale OF his property to
the United States. The most he has
done has been to suggest that the
United States should make n bid for
his property or that arbitrators
should he appointed to appraise the
value of the Panama canal, item by
item.
The commission rejected this propo-
sition. 1t IL believed that the last
chance the Panama Canal company
had To sell its property to the United
States has now been killed.
The commission estimates the cost
Of the proposed Nicaraguan canal at
about 5000, 600, 900. This is for a
canal with "A depth Of thirty-1ye feet,
n width ut the bottom of 100 feet, in

The remarks of Judge Cheadle in sen.
fencing Milton o. Howell, however un.

While Judge Cheadle had compassion
for the prisoner in his unfortunate stu

Inhabitants Of the Tyrol have lost q
lake.
The village Waterman Is positive
that when he passed the banks of the
lake the night before the remarkable
discovery it was in its usual condition.
The fact. however, remains that in the
morning nothing but the bed OF the
lake was left TO show that it ever
existed.
On the trees growing neal the lake
some one had caused to be posted large
notices. headed Lost, Strayed or
Stolen" to the effect that a reward
would be paid for the return of the
missing waters and mo questions
asked" Another notice exhorted the
missing waters TO return and all would
be forgiven.

to be the right man in the right place

neys, solicitors and drummers, who are
practically licensed by the government,
with the promise of s95 for each
claim allowed" The commissioner
calls attention to another disgusting
feature and that is the number of the
Spanish war veterans who, at the
solicitation Of these sharks, are filing
claims for pensions. The fact that 20
per cent of the soldiers engaged in the
three months wal with Spain are APP
plicants for pension serves as a wet
blanket upon u Wanted patriotism.
Pensions should not be granted unless
the applicant can prove that he is dis
abled by sickness or wounds and inca
pacitated from earning a livelihood.

SECURING YOUR SCALP

won't cure dandruff, because dan
druff is nothing but scales OF scalp
being thrown up by a pestiferous lit
tie germ In burrowing it's way to the
root Of the hair, where II saps the
vitality, causing falling hair and, In
time, badness. Now, you can't stop
dandruff, nor falling hair. o pre-
vent badness unless you destroy that
germ; and the only preparation that
can do 1t Is the new scientific discov-
cry, Newbro's Herpicide. In fact no
other hair preparation claims to kill
the dandruff germ-all of them will
clean the scalp; soap and water will
do that, but only Newbro's Uerpicide
gets at the root Of the trouble and
kills the dandruif germ.
