by Jerseyman, is nic.lei-.-the

that the record cylinder. as il moves
along, disengages a series of photo

talks off an entertaining description
of them.
Though the notion, so far as its
practical application is concerned. is

IMPORTANT SCIENTIFIC DIS

A Clinica Preparation that Positively
Kills the Dandruff Germ,

A Cllnlca preparation that positively
Kills the Dandruff Germ.
A most important discovery has
been made after a years patient lab
oratory work aimed in a certain di-
rection--Jt is Newbro's Herpicide, u
preparation that cures badness, pre-
vents falling hair, and speedily and
permanently eradicates dandruff.
These evils are caused by germ or
parasite that burrows into the scalp,
throwing up dandruff, as it seeks to
sap the life OF the hair at the root.
There is no badness without falling

dandruff, and no daudruff if the germ
is destroyed. Newbro's Herpicide is
the only preparation that will do the
work ''Destroy the cause, you re-

A convention of choirmasters and

president prophesied that anarchism
would die a sweet natural death. He
went on to say:
"The softening influence of music is
so delightful that the time will come
when the inability to sing from sofia
will be as extraordinary as the inabil-
lity to read or write. When the spread
of music has reached the required de-
gree anarchism will cease"

ty white blossoms is very beautiful and

three hundred lilies Of the valley sprays
will make a bouquet of the average size.
Asparagus and maiden hair fern are the
favorite greens TO place with these small
Blossoms, and the preference is usually
given to the asparagus on account of its
greater fneness.
Another white flower which Is popular
at present is the swinsonia. This Is a
less familiar blossom. 1t is like a sweet
pea In form, but has a larger cluster of
flowers on each stem The blossoms are
white, and, combined with asparagus,
make charming bouquet.
The bride who finds a touch of yellow
| becoming may choose a bouquet of mar
| guerites. These are simple and dainty
and may be made up in any form, al
though the long stemmed cluster il often

A pretty custom is that of having flow

tint, carry baskets of single blossoms or
often, of petals alone.

If they were accorded their

to light an executive ability.
The greatest happiness to wo-
man Is to exert and act upon her
good impulses. The charities of
today are headed by names of
noted men-and widows; not by
those of married women.
The heroic attributes In man

a voice In public affairs, as we'll as
to rule at home. But even while
the wife is possessed of the same
mind, the same courage, she Is
not privileged to act freely; she
has no equal rights.
The arguments against the wo-

comes untitled for motherhood
and loses her feminine womanly
attributes. Why should she not
be the better suited for mother
hood because of her broadened
views and intelligence?

She receives board, clothes and

receive them in business; and she
gets besides, what her master is
pleased to give her. What incen-
tive is there in that for woman

Would man be content to work
out his life at an apprentice wage,
rather than become co-partner,

yet the money is granted as gift

If 1t were accorded the wife as
her right, her just due, how much
less extravagant would she be-

limited to a certain income.
1t was an old-fashioned saying

ARMOUR & CO. (Jones).
We quote the following from his letter
of the fourth, In connection with the low
er coal section:
'As requested enclose you herewith map
outlining the two territories; that bound
ed by the red line shows the upper coal
section territory, and that bounded by the
blue the lower. Do not think we will
ever have a really satisfactory agree
ment working in the lower territory until
at least a part of 1t is handled on tight
lines. Refer especially to that part which
is really in the coal section embracing the
packers at Pottsyille, Shamokin, Mount
Carmel, Lehighton and Sandy Run.
These are the ones that are operating In
our Shenandoah and Hazleton districts,
and some of them at least have never
been very loyal to the agreement.
You can see from the vast extent of
country covered by the lower agreement
how unwieldy 1t would be to arbitrate
this section under a tight agreement, so.
with your sanction, will begin to agitate
the formation of another tight section
covering only the coal regions proper and
embracing the above named points.
Spent yesterday in the Eastern and
Allentown districts, and find there that
several of the big stores. especially those
at Easton, s. Scheuer & Co. and d. w.
Conklin, are buying good many of their
goods from the New York and Jersey
points and are not paying anywhere the
lower section prices. For instance, saw
in the store of s. Scheuter & Co. some
gold band skinned hams, which the buyer
stated were bought in New York City,
and for which he paid only 1f1kc., or &c.
below the agreed prices
The local packers in this section agree
that Scheuer e. Co. especially have never
paid the agreed prices for their goods
and since the beginning of the agreement
