THE HAIR AND THE SCALP.
To Take Good Care of Them Should
Be the Aim Of Every Woman,
Old and Young.

Too much cannot be said against
the practice Of dyeing ones hair. 1t
Is never satisfactory, and. once be-
gun, 1t must be kept up, as the hair
lengthens from the roots, and the nat
ural color will inevitably show itself
there. Then, too, the dye will fade more
or less, and generally the hair will be
rendered stiff and harsh-feeling from
its use, to say nothing Of the disagree
able odor which many dyes carry with
them.
It is much better to give the hair
good care in the matter of dressing.
brushing and massaging the scalp,
and let it color to suit itself. No one
in bad health can have as nice hair as
the one who has no ailment. Some
diseases affect the hair more disas-
trously than others, and when trying to
improve the hair one must also try to
improve the general health.
The use of hard water is also to be
avoided, and care must be taken in
the use Of the various drugs recon-
mended for shampooing. It is not
necessary to wash the hair every day,
or ordinarily oftener than once a
week, while in some cases once month
is too often. When washing is done, the
hair should be thoroughly dried before
being done up" and in many cases the
scalp alone should be shampooed, wet
ting the hair itself as little as possible.
There are dry shampoos, as we'll as wet
ones, and their tonic effect is quite as
valuable. One of the best is to rub
fine table salt into the hair close to the
scalp, and then brush it out
A simple tonic which has been used
with good effect to retard the COM
ing of gray hair, arrest the falling and
stimulate the new growth, is made of
green tea and fresh dried sage, two
ounces of each, put into an iron pot and
three quarts Of boiling water is to be
poured onto it; cover closely and let
simmer until reduced one-third; take
off the fire and let stand in the iron
pot for "a hours; strain and bottle for use.
Wet the scalp thoroughly with this To-
ton every night, applying early enough
so as to allow of drying before going
to bed, as the liquid will stain the pill
low-slip. Thoroughly brushing with
good brush will benefit.-The Com
moner.

The Duchess apple seems to be a

CHINESE MOSQUITO PLANT.

SO many inquiries have deluged Baron
de Taillac, who introduced the phu-lo
plant from the Tonquin country, in
China, that the man is up to his neck

the plant described:
He says the phu-lo seed must be
sown in well prepared ground in the
spring or autumn months. If sown
in the spring the plant will attain its
full growth by September, and be
ready for fall business. If sown in
the autumn, the phu-lo will be in full
power early next season, when the
mosquitoes begin singing national an
thems, fresh from the marshes.
When the plants are large enough
for transplanting they should be put

BUTTER THAT SELLS CHEAP
In Nine Cases Out of Ten II Is Made
from Cream That Has Stood
Too Long.

Men that use hand separaters should
see to it that the cream is taken to the
creameries before it gets too old to be
made into good butter, if they are in
the habit of taking it to the creameries
at all. Some that have been negligent
in this matter have been in the habit of
waiting two or three days over time and
then hauling or sending their cream to
the place where it is to be made I'D into
butter. The creamery manager should
never take this old cream, but many
do it because they say they can sell all
their butter at top price anyway. The
result is that this butter goes onto the
general market and large quantities Of
such product are bought up by the cold
storage men and put away to be used
months after the time when it came into
their hands. During this time the bad
qualities of the old cream come to the
surface, and when the butter is taken
out of cold storage, it grades far below
what 1t graded when it went in. Then
the commission handlers of this prod
uct say that the deterioration is due to
the fact that the butter was made from
cream skinned by hand separator. A
great and useful invention is thus
blamed for something that would have
happened just the same if the farmer had
raised his cream by the gravity process.
Only in that case the cream would have
been made up into butter at home rather
than been sent to the creamery and got
into the hands of the wholesale handlers
of butter. This matter of old cream is
one Of the chief causes of the farmers
wife getting only a two-thirds price for
the butter she makes.-Farmers Re-

Vinegar Cure for Headache.

Vinegar is fairly good for some
forms of headache. and as stimulant
in fainting; in each case it is to be en-
ployed outwardly. In headache it may
be applied to the forehead; but in
fainting it should be held against or
brushed over the nostrils. If your
child is suffering from excessive per-
spiration during the night you may
apply vinegar to the skin. Should the
skin be too sensitive, dilute the vine
gar with an equal quantity Of water.
Let the skin remain wet for two or
three minutes, and then gently wipe
it dry. Be careful to avoid much fric-
ton. A similar lotion will lessen the
very distressing moisture Of feet from
which so many adults suffer. ,

HARD COAL PRODUCTION.
Member Of Government Geological
Survey Says the Output Will
Steadily Decline.

"The production of anthracite coal
in this country, in my opinion, has
reached its maximum, and from now
on will steadily decline. Hard coal
will become more and more of a lux
ury, for as the output diminishes the
cost of production will grow greater.
President Baer of the Reading rail-
road was perfectly right in saying
that the price Of coal to the consumer
will not come down, and l confidently
look for it to 60 higher and higher. /"
This statement was made recently
by Edward F. Parker, of the United
States geological survey, who was q
member of President Roosevelts ar
bitration commission that settled the
anthracite coal strike in 1902. Mr..
Parker is in charge of the coal divis-
ion of the mineral bureau of the geo.
logical survey, and is an authority on
all matters pertaining to coal.
The stock Of anthracite is so low, he
says, and is deposited in such inacces-
sible and out Of the way beds, that
the cost of production has Increased
tremendously. Some of the most i'm
portant coal veins of the present day
were regarded as worthless from a
commercial point of view 20 years
ago.
1.-THE anthracite fields of Pennsylva-
nia," continued Mr.. Parker, will
be exhausted in comparatively short
time. At the present rate of con-
sumption they will not last more than
30 years. Production will not stop
suddenly inside of 80 years, and we
probably will be burning more or less
anthracite for 100 or $50 years to
come, but only in reduced quantities"

Senators Cullom and Cannon Bafled

At the republican state convention in

Cannon tried to get popular ruling as to
which is the handsomer man, says the New

"Uncle" Joe, "Pd walk backward all the
time. Your rear elevation isn't SO bad, but
the front facade is a bad blotch."
'I'll tell you, Joe, we'll leave it to this
little girl. She doesn't want any political
job and guess she'll be honest" suggested
Senator Cullom.

eyes and said:
