KILL THE DANDRUFF GERM.

Modern science has discovered that
dandruff is caused by a germ that digs
up the scalp in scales, as it burrows
down to the roots of the hair, where
it destroys the hairs vitality, causing
falling hair and intimately, badness.
After Prof. Unna of Hamburg, Ger

Doesn't the call for an extra session
of Congress begin to look little like
a joke? That there was no necessity
for it is shown by the preponderance
OF opinion in both houses favorable
to the ratification of the treaty with
Cuba. The treaty could, and doubtless
would, have been ratified during the
first week of the regular session, which
would have been in ample time for it
to take effect on Jan. l next. Con-
gress has had difficulty to find some
thing to do during the extra session.
1t has held quarter-hour and half
hour sessions to kill days and thus
make it appear that there was reason
for its coming together. Meanwhile
members of both houses and of both
parties have been Tuning. So even
tempered a gentleman as Senator Hoar
was moved a day or two ago to say:
German, what do you suppose that
man up at the White House called us
here for?" Senator German has been
studying public affairs closely for a
number of years, but he couldn't give
satisfactory answer. About all the
extra session will actually amount to,
it seems, will be the enabling of Presi-
dent Roosevelt to give Cuba a Thanks
giving present of the ratified treaty.

The American Syren and Shipping
scores a palpable hit in discussing
American shipbuilding when 1t says:
IF American shipbuilders could buy
American iron, steel, copper and lead
at the prices for which these products
are sold by our monopolists to ship
builders in Europe, Asia and Africa;
if they could buy American lumber at
the prices for which it is sold in Eu-
rope and China; If they could buy
duck and cordage made in the Eastern
and Middle states at the prices for
which goods from these factories are
sold in foreign countries. -" then we

THE COST OF LIVING.

Labor Commissioner Carroll D.
Wright has investigated the changes
in the cost of living during the past
thirteen years, having secured data
from 1857 families. The point Of
lowest cost of necessary articles Of
consumption was reached in 1895, and
the point of highest cost was in 1902.
per cent. above that of 1896. and near
ly IL per cent greater than the aver
age for the whole period. In many
other similar calculations the whole
sale prices of articles have been taken
as the basis, This, however, is not
fair, since the consumer does not get
his supplies at wholesale prices; and
again, there is considerable difference
in the fluctuations of wholesale and
retail prices. The latter move more
slowly and in a less sensational man
ner. During the thirteen-years period
studied by Mr.. Wright, wholesale
prices had range of fluctuations of
81 per cent, while retail prices had a
range of only 1874 per cent. Mr.. Wright
used the retail figures in his calcula-
tons. since they represent the cost to
the consumer.
The families furnishing the data
averaged 5.31 persons. The average
income per family was $S27,19 and the
expenditure $76s.54. OF the expendi-
ture $32690 went for food. The average
cost of food per person was $61.59 a
year or about IL cents a day. To sup
ply all of the wants of each member
of the family required an expenditure
of $145 a year or not quite 40 cents a
day. Assuming that the families stud
led by the commissioner are represen-
tative of the mass of the people, these
figures would seem to indicate that
Americans live economically and are
disposed to be thrifty. The apparent
average saving of nearly $50 a year is
by no means a bad showing.
The commissioners data show that
the average workingman of fxed in
come fares better in hard times than
in times of "all around high prices" or
the times of so-called prosperity. Thus,
for instance, in 1902 the workingman's
necessaries of life cost him about 500
more than they did in 1s96-that is, a
working man having a family of the
size mentioned by Mr.. Wright.

The Benefit of Change.

We are like house plants: We
need a change of soil now and then
to be replanted. New scenes,
new experiences, new surroundings,
change of climate, dry air instead
of moisture, sunshine in place of
cloud. This is sometimes essential
to health. There are conditions
near at hand that are better than
Europe can offer. Take a month
or two in California. Plant your
self for time where there are no
irritations, where the hotel is be-
yond criticism, the landscape pleas
ing, and where warm sunny
weather invites to walks and drives.
Pure and dry air, and the increased
electric influences of sunshine are
vastly helpful.
You can make this trip at very
little expense, and enjoy ride

mountains, which, at this time of
the year with their snow-covered
peaks, are unsurpassed for their

Ought, it would seem, to give exemption
from the diseases which prey upon the
residents of thicEly populated cities.
But there is no exemption from disease,
and i'll the country, as i'll the city, one
may see the cheeks grow hollow and the
eyes grow dull while the frame wastes
away with that terrible disease, con-
sumption.
Weak lungs are made strong by the
use of DIR. Pierce Golden Medical Dis
covery. 1t cures obstinate and stubborn
coughs, bronchitis, bleeding of the lungs
and other symptoms which, if neglected
or unslillfully treated terminate fatally
in consumption. The action of Golden
Medical Discovery in the curing of vast
ing diseases is entirely philosophic.
Enaciation, and consequent loss of
weight, are among the most striking
symptoms of what are known as vast
ing diseases. The body is not being ade-
quately nourished, and the cause of this
lack of nourishment is not lack of food
but lack of ability in the stomach and
the other organs of digestion and nutri-
ton to prepare the food for the assimila-
ton and nutrition of the body. DIR.
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery cures
diseases of the stomach and the organs
of digestion and nutrition, and so en-
ables the body to be nourished back to
strength in the only way by which
strength can come that is, by food per-
fectly digested and assimilated.

no alcohol, neither opium, cocaine or
any other narcotic.
