WHY MEN ri BALD.
to This Account, Frequent
Cutting Has Much to Do
with 1t,

"The cause of badness has at last
been found" said a physician to a bar
Der. "We know whyi it is that men get
bald while women DON'T"
"Well, why is it?" asked the other.
"It is because men wear their hair
Short" the physician answered., ac-
cording to the Baltimore Sun. 1.-THE
proper length for the hair is the nat
ural length-a foot, two feet, or even
more. There is a system of muscles
at the roots of the hair that need eXer-
else, that need hard usage if they are
to keep healthy. If a hair is long it's
muscles must work hard in order to
hold it in place-for a long hair is nat
urally heavier than a short one-and
in order to supply life along its length.
Thus pleasantly and BEAUTIFULLY en-
gagged the muscles growfata and hearty
and they keep the hair hearty.
"But if the hair is cut short every
month the muscles that must look aft
er it have a slothful, idle existence.
They do not work; they get faced and
anaemic, they become worthless. And
in consequence-the hair they support
becomes worthless, dries, shrivels and
finally falls out.
"Hence the hair must be worn long
if badness is to be avoided"
The barber had listened with a frowI
of disapproval. Then he said:
"That theory is all right, but why
doesn't il hold good in The matter Of
the beard? The beard is worn as short,
by most men, as it can be shaved, but
we never hear OF anyone getting bald
on the cheeks or the chin"

tual casting of the line, in the fighting
of the fish, in the quiet and seclusion
of the occupation, in the character of
the scenery, in the exercise of a per-
sonal dexterity which it has taken long
to acquire, or in the hope of catching
something big.
In fishing for tarpon the desire of
catching something big is certainly
present, and is an important element
in the sport. But mere size is not in
itself enough. A Jew fish, which may
hang on to the unfortunate tarpon-
fisher for the greater part of the day,
is as heavy as four or more tarpon, but
is a subject rather for coincidence or
the cutting of a line than for %congratu-
lation. Moan ideal fish to catch,
whether big or small, must be a great
fighter. The tarpon fills this bill. He
is a reckless and impetuous fighter.
He will just as soon come straight at
| you, and even into your boat, as fly
from you. He thus possesses two great
requisites in a sporting fish, size and
gameness.
Even when apparently we'll hooked,
the element of uncertainty, which
lends so much pleasurable excitement
to fishing generally, is abundantly
present. A tarpon can never be counted
yours till he is actually landed. His
mouth is SO hard and bony that it af-

that is not well driven home. Ere

For five years the Vermont expert

the very best timber for fence posts
on the most worthless soil from an ag-
ricultural standpoint, and ii has had
remarkable success. The three COM
mon trees, best suited for posts, are
the red cedar, the white cedar and the

varieties of trees, including the above,
were planted in the driest tract of
level sand plain east of Burlington.

that makes vigorous natural growth.
Here the white pine did fairly well, but
the locust far outstripped all others.

only $3.50 per thousand. The only
source of trouble is the borer; this

locusts. On the whole locust fence

gists the sole dispensers of liquor for
alleged "medicinal" purposes in towns
that go "dry;" allow them to stock up

leave the profits of the traffic wholly
with the druggist-save the ten-dollar
license fee-and you have condition
that could only lead to one result. The

PROHIBITION VS.. LICENSE
Letter from Col. Albert Clarke, Secretary
of the Home Market Club.

Letter from Col. Albert Clarke, Secretary
of the Home Market Club.
From the Brattleboro Reformer.
| beg your pardon for not sooner
complying with your request for my
opinion as to the relative merits of
prohibition and Of license and local
option, as l have witnessed the prac-
teal operation of both systems for
20 years in Vermont and 20 years in
Massachusetts.
With the exception of certain dras-
tic laws enacted in recent years for
the more effective enforcement of
prohibition, but which were really no
part of the system, and the chief eff
feet of which was to bring it into dis
credit, / am clearly of opinion that
so-called prohibition is for a whole
state much preferable to license.
Why | say "so-called" is because the
laws in Maine, New Hampshire and
Vermont never prohibited the sale Of
liquor; they regulated it, by providing
that authorized persons in each COM
munity might sell it for chemical, me-
chanical and medicinal purposes; if
they had added one other use, name
ly for beverages, | suppose no one
would have called them prohibitory.
The object of those laws was to dis
courage drinking, and that is why
agents We're not authorized to sell for
that purpose. Was the object ac-
complished? To a great extent, Yes.
Even in the cities and towns where
the law was most violated, it operat-
ed to create and maintain a senti-
ment that drinking is disreputable,
and therefore it kept the majority
of men and women from it. This
wholesome restraint does not prevail
under license, hence drinking is
much more common and excessive.
Without going into statistics, it is a
fact that Notwithstanding all the fail
ures of prohibition, and the lax and
corrupt administration of the law in
some places, as whole it has dimin-
ished pauperism and crime wherever
