ton Of Egyptian Hustlers.
WRITTEN FOR THE SUNDAY REPUBLIC.
The Egyptian Hustlers is an organization
that boasts membership of more than
500 travelling statesmen, who will promote
the Worlds Fair.
From the southern section OF Illinois. the
membership is recruited. 1t comprises the
travelling men of the wholesale houses OF st.
Louis who visit that part Of the State and
the membership is augmented by all those
who are in sympathy with the objects and
aims OF the association.
Founded upon broad platform. the chief
aim of the order Is to inculcate In the mind
of the travelling man the ethics of business
However, the Egyptian Hustlers have
planned more extensive functions than the
mere sood-fellowship among the travelling
statesmen. They expect to interest hundreds

KEROSENE FOR THE HAIR,
Seems to BE Rough Treatment, But
Its Results Have Proved En-
tirely Satisfactory.

A woman recently asserted that the
fine appearance of her hair was entirely
due to persistent and thorough. treat
ment with the familiar kerosene of the
corner grocery commerce. It was an
piled regularly once a fortnight in the
following way: A little was poured into
saucer and rubbed with the fingers
into the roots of the hair: The appli-
cation was slow and thorough, the gen.
tie massage Of the roots with the finger
tips being needed to open the pores for
the absorption of the oil. The treat
ment was usually made at night, and
the hair afterward tied up in silk hand
kerchief..* - -. .... ::.....,~
/ The: silk handkerchief. is recon-
mended by hair dressers as useful in
retaining the natural electricity of the
hair. BY noon of the following day the
odor of the kerosene had disappeared,
and in another IL hours the oiIiness that
followed it's use had; also gone. The
effect of this treatment on the hair was
promptly noticeable. the falling out
stopped, and some new short hairs were
found all over TIL : head. AS the kero-
sene application was continued the hair
became thick and smooth. When, after
several MONTHS it was finally discon-
tinued, abundant glossy locks replaced
the dry and lusterless hair-the former
condition existing, though no kerosene
had been used for several years.-N. Y.

Has He Found ItH

Polk, Ark, Nov. "a remedy that viii
absolutely cure Rheumatism has been dis
covered by Mr.. George Hiland of this place.
Mr.. Inland is satisfied that the remedy he
has used is a sure cure, tor it cured him OF q
when he was so bad that he could not move.
This is what he says:-
II was troubled with what is called Acute
Rheumatism in 1900. l was in such shape
that I could not move without help. was
treated by a physician, who helped me some,
saw Dodd's Kidney Pills advertised as cure
for Rheumatism. She insisted on my trying
them, and felt better after taking the first
box. I continued, and now am well and able
to work all the time. I have found Dodd's
kldney Pllls to be Just what IA they are claimed
Mr.. Hiland's very positive statement seems
to settle all doubt as to whether or not Rheu-
matism can be cured.

The dress of business women is sub
ject which is assuming an important
aspect in a trade sense. The term BUSH
ness suit is commonly heard in the
shops. It means plain, durable, yet
stylish gown, usually a two-piece suit
with a short skirt. The long coats are
very popular with business women this
year. Worn with a fur boa, they are
warm enough: for even severe weather,
and there is no question about the cor
rectness of their style for street wear.
Many business women prefer modified
shirt waist suits for the Office. Made
up In brown, black, or dark blue. these
suits need only the freshest Of hem
stitched lawn or linen collars and cuffs
to make the wearer appear we'll gowned
through season.
Canvas, henrietta, yelling, granite
cloth, and similar materials are suitably
developed into Office gowns. A good
model is a box-plaited waist, fastened
inv1sibly, with the sleeves plated only
to the elbows, the fullness being! gath
cred into close wristbands, just wide
enough to allow for lawn cuffs The
short skirt has the box plaits flattened
over the hips and almost to- the knees
in front, graduating on the sides and
extending to the back cores which are
laid in two large double box plaits, or
inverted plaits. "A crush belt of taffeta
is sometimes added There should be
no trimming on a business suit, unless
a bit of fagoting, be excepted, Small
women wear these, shirt waist suits to
advantage while tall or stout women
are better gowned in two-piece suits. .,
It is not at all probable that women
will; ever go back to any vagary of dress
that will rob them of freedom of move
n1ent... It is almost as unlikely that they
will consent to adopt any of the old gro
tesque features such as bustles, hoop
skirts; etc.. Yet we read in fashion jour-
nails that the newest dress skirts are
made to fit smoothly over the hips, but

benefit of the quaint and stylish" effect
of a woman in crinoline the student OF
fashions should examine files of the
