WHY BALD MEN UNCOVER.
City Salesman Manlfests Curiosity on
the Point.

City Salesman Manifests Curiosity on
the Point.
One question the city salesman
would like answered pertains to bald
headed men.
why do so many of them take of
their hats in public conveyances and
other places where head covering Is
the proper caper?" he inquiries, with
grave concern. ut is no uncommon
thing to see men take off their hats
In street cars, and nine-tenths of those
who do 1t are bald-headed. One would
think they would be afraid Of catching
their death of cold riding about in
that exposed state in draughty wealth
er, but evidently they are troubled by
no such considerations. Neither does
vanity deter them. A denuded scalp
has no terrors for them. l asked one
bald-headed man why so many of his
kind thus cheerfully advertised their
paucity of locks. He said he couldn't
answer for other men, but that he
did it to give his hair a chance to
grow, and l would like to know If all
would give that reason"

THE SCENE WAS CHANGED,

Loving Husband Not So Ready With
His Autograph.
He kissed devotedly the hand that
passed him the autograph album, and
wrote therein:
Il write my name upon this virgin
page. Would that l could inscribe It
upon the purer scroll of your heart in
that invisible ink which shall only
appear when the thing upon which it
is written is warmed at the fires of
love which takes no note of time!"
That as year ago. They are mar
ried now, and when she asks him for
his autograph, in the shape of a good
ly sized check, to liquidate her millin-
cry bill, he grasps that album or a
larger book, If handy, and threatens
to throw it at her.

A great many women suffer with a
form of indigestion or dyspepsia which
does not seem to yield to ordinary
medical treatment. While the symp-

ordinary indigestion, yet the medi-
cines universally prescribed do not
seem to restore the patients normal
condition.

is kind of dyspepsia that is caused
by arrangement of the female organ

turbance similar to ordinary indiges-
ton, cannot be relieved without
medicine which not only acts as
stomach tonic, but has peculiar uterine
tonic effects as well

"The mine or deposit comprises
practically whole mountain of ore,
which was sampled recently by a well
known mining man now operating in
this section and gave an average re-
