Two-stOry Frame Building Used as Grocery and a Residence Is Who'll
 ly destrOyed--NegrO Houses Burn.

The two-story frame building at the corner of Compress Street and Jack sons Ferry Road, in North Montgom- cry. occupied by Jack Johns as a store and residence was completely destroy ed by fire, which was discovered at 10:30 o'clock last night. The loss was estimated at $4.7O0 with $2,0o0 insur- ance.
 Montgomery fremen had just re- turned to the headquarters house on Madison Avenue from fire in Stew artsville, when a telephone alarm call ed them to the North Montgomery fire.
 No one will ever know the origin of the fire The first floor of the building was used by MT. Johns as q saloon and grocery store. His family resides in the second story but the family was absent from home.
 When the firemen reached the scene the building was a mass of flames and 1t was too late to attempt to save any of the furniture or effects from the burning building. Two small houses on the north side of the store, occupied bv negroes. caught fire several times, but the flames were extinguished by the fremen.
 The name of the owner of the build ing could not be ascertained. It was valued at about $1,2O0.
 MT. JOnnS SdIu ms ipoS iNhSh s3,50O He carried g 900 insurance.
 It was i2:45 o'clock this morning when the firemen returned to their sta tions.
 Four Negro Houses.

 All of the houses were of two rooms and constructed for negro dwelling houses. The two houses that burned to the ground were owned by c. A. Griffith and were fully insured. The other two houses which were partially burned. belonged to George Washing ton, a negro, and were insured. A good deal of the household goods were burned in the house in which the fire originated.
 The frenien had a long run to the blaze and after reaching the scene found that the nearest fire plug was that near the brewery. line or hose over 2,000 feet long was laid in order to get a stream on the flames.
 The origin of the fire is unknown. The loss Is estimated at $1,250.

Once in four weeks you may sham poo after this brushing. First make a castle soapsuds with warm water. fill bowl with this, and shampoo thoroughly with it. rubbing the father we'll into the scalp and washing out the long hair as if 1t were a handker- chief. Then rinse In several waters. each cooler than the previous, until you find that the water is perfectly clear. Now put the strained juice of a lemon into bowl of cool water and rinse in that. There will likely be a cloudiness in the water, for the lemon removes grime that the soap suds did not affect. Wiring the hair thoroughly with your hands. then with a towel and after this do not touch 1t again with a towel. Wrap the little lady to keep her from taking cold, and put her into the sun and wise. let her lie near a heater, and assist the drying process by rubbing the hair with your hands.
 Stunning the hair is important If the child is inclined to burn or freckle. cut out the crown from one of her last years hats, pull her hair up through the brim and put her out in the sun at every opportunity
 One word in response to many anx- louS inquiries. our American system of public schools with all its advan- tages from the standpoint of true dem ocratic training, has it's drawbacks. Some of the little playmates of your dainty daughter may come from homes where cleanliness is unknown, and you may pay the penalty despite every precaution. It is no uncommon thing, let me say for the comfort of every fastidious mamma who thinks she is the only one eyer so disgraced, for the dearest of little girls to be affiict- ed with parasites in the hair.

process of letting the hair grow out m its natural color, wearing two snaoes of hair until the reformation Is com- plete.
 The use of borax and ammonia Is much to be condemned. The Anxious Mother" will find the hair kept light, to be sure, by her persistent use of the drug. but the young hair will be- come brittle and dull in appearance. The light color will have no hint of gold. How much better to keep 1t In a healthy condition and let 1t take on the brown 1t Is tending to-a brown that may prove, under encouragement of the brush and massage and> sum- ming, to contain all sorts of wonderful bronze lights, dark. to be sure. but far more beautiful than the other if 1t harmonizes better with the child's coloring. Remember that artists find the only beauty in harmony. Nothing is beautiful or ugly of itself. It Is only one or the other as 1t finds itself in appropriate surroundings.
 feel genuinely sorry. for the little girls loss of hair, and it surely can be remedied. You can save that pretty head of hair by massage, the basis Of all hair treatment. Or why not teach her to do the work herself?
 This is the principle of scalp mas- sage. The scalp, which produces the growth of hair. is naturally loosely att tached to the skull or bony frame uu- derneath it. This is true when 1t. Is in a healthy condition, but in an un- healthy condition 1t becomes attached to the skull and needs loosening. Place the tips of the fingers (not the nails) upon the scalp. holding them in one spot, and move the scalp in a circling manner beneath them. Place the tip of the thumb opposite them upon the scalp and hold 1t still, letting it act as a sort of brace for the fingers while they work. Move the fingers from spot to spot until the scalp has been loos- ened. Day by day you will find the skin growing looser upon the skull Move the fingers always in a circling way and toward the crown of the head. never letting them move upon the scalp, but making the scalp move un- der them.
 Besides loosenfng the scalp you have another object; namely, that of stim- ulating the flow of blood to the roots of the hair. This is necessary in order that all the little hairs starting to grow may be properly nourished.
 When you once acquire the knack of massage you may be able to teach if to the daughter and make 1t fun to her to massage her own scalp every night. Unless she can do 1t correctly, how ever. better impose the task upon yourself. If she is careless or Is an- noyed by the task, she may handle the hair roughly and break it. Tell her about the blood that is to feed all the hungry little hairs. and see how interested she will be-
 In every case 1t is better to give massage a months trial at the least agement in the case of a child that before a tonic is added. Nature re- spends so readily to a slight encour- 1t is better to let 1t do her work if it will If. at the end of a month or two. there is the least improvement to

KurOpatkIn VIII Make No stand q
 Mukden.


 St. Petersburg, Sept. 19.-(6 :59 D. m While still insisting that General Ku ropatkin has sufficient troops at Muk den to contest the Japanese advance the War Office admits that 1t is not likely that a decisive battle will be fought there. Everything goes to show that the main Russian position Is now at Tie Pass, hanked by hills out on the left ->~ by the river on the right.
 Official reports to the War Office are to the effect that the Japanese did not make any further move towards Muk- den until September IT. when recon noissances in force disclosed that they were still massing at Yantai and Bent siaputse No Japanese have been dis covered east of the latter point.
 The reconnossances, General Kuro- patkin says. was brilliantly carried out by Generals Sams noff and Rennen- kampfs Cossack brigade, with mixed detachment of artillery and infantry, under Rennenkampf's personal com mand. They captured village north of Bensiya pulse which was used pivot The Russians drew off later. losing a few men killed or wounded, after securing valuable information re garding the Japanese strength and pc sition.
 A couple of days earlier General Gistchenko's detachment of Cossacks accommodated toward Yentai al the cost of a few score wounded a S reported in the Associated Press dispatch from Mukden, September 16. General Kuro- patkIn says he reviewed yesterday the 37th division commanded by General Chemareff, which was then just arrlv- ing at Mukden. 1t belongs to the 1st European corps of which the 22nd d. vision.

 The League President left last night for Atlanta and will visit each city in the circuit in turn, the certificates be- ing forwarded to each club as soon as all of the signatures have been ob- tained.

 As to any possible change in tho circuit he said that 1t was absurd to even speculate on. the present circuit being fixture for some time. The League, he said.

be noted, keep on with this treatment alone If the dandruff Is no better. and no new growth of hairs to be seen when looking closely into the parts, then some simple medicine may be used. Vaseline Is excellent rubbed into the scalp twice week. although 1t Is disagreeable. The following tonic grammes castor oil, 110 grammes tinc- ture cantharides. It should be ap- piled to the roots of the hair before the massage.
 Note that by her own confession the Anxious Mother" drew the braid tight" Fortunately, she is now obliged to braid the child's hair loosely. The more liberty the hair is allowed the better for 1t. A tight braid, day or night checks the growth. If a child's hair tangles badly it may not be best to leave it entirely unconfined, for the subsequent combing may cause much breaking; but a loose braid is possible. This is the best way to send Miss Goldenlocks to bed, braid the hair loosely in one, or better. two braids. so that there may be as much separa- tion and consequently ventilation of the hair as possible. There will be no snarls in the morning. Tie the braids short distance above the ends and tie them loosely. Never turn up the ends and tie them bent.
 It is likely that the use of the fine comb has been disastrous to the little girl by causing irritation of the scalp. An expert can use a fine comb with out damage, handling it with side wise motion and lifting the dandruff gently without scraping the skin. But a stiff brush is better for general use. Go over the entire scalp once a week. removing every bit of dandruff and dust, first loosening them from the scalp. then brushing them out from the lengths of hair.

Council Rejected Offer of J. H. Woodward. WOULDHAvE COST$15O,000 Wanted to Build on the Site of Fountain. Proposed Building Would Have BeOn Circular i'm Form and Would
 Have Been Twelve Stories
 High.
WOULDHAvE COST$15O, ,000

The City Council of Montgomery last night rejected the proposition of James H. Woodward, the Birmingham capital ist, to erect a twelve story office build ing, costing $150,000, in the space on Court Square. now occupied by the fountain.
 The Council refused the proposition of MT. Woodward, although 1t was &C., companied by an offer to pay the city an annual rent al of $1,O0O for the use of the space The Council turned down MT Woodward's offer without referring 1t to a committee. The opposition to the project was led by President c. P. Mcintyre, who took the floor and made a heated argument against the act, which, he said. would immortalize the City Council in a most undesirable way.
 In vain did Aldermen Forbes and Sullivan eloquently urge the great ad- vantage the enterprise would be to the { city. In vain did Alderman Forbes present a sketch of the proposed office building, arguing its direct material advantage and the great advertising that would come to Montgomery from its very uniqueness.
 The proposition came to the Council in a communication from Chairman George w. Jones of the Modern Office Building Committee of the Commercial and Industrial Association. Ear Her in the meeting City At. torney Ray Rushton had sub- mitted an opinion defining the own ership of Court Square. He held that the city. If 1t so desired. could sell the space which was occupied by the foun- tain. inasmuch. as it was a lot which had been bought from the county by the City Council and paid for fifty years ago The offer of the Commercial and Industrial Association Committee whIcn smoke for Mir Woodward was as fol- lows:

My Dear Miss Morton-Can't you help me? My little daughter. only 10 years old, is losing her beautiful gold sn hair. The old hair is falling much faster than the new Is starting, ana her pretty braid is diminishing day by day so that I have to braid IL loosely now to give it the appearance of thickness, whereas formerly are" 1t tight. Dandruff appears upon the scalp, and no matter how much use the fine comb I cannot keep It out. Moreover. the color Is changing rapio- ly. The golden tint Is giving way o brown, although I shampoo the ha.. every week in ammonia ana wa keep it light. Please give me you. advice and confer an inestimaoie ia'o' upon An Anxious Mother.
 There is no showing of partiality in selectinp the above letter. It IS oniy one of scores almost identical anu Il" answerinr one anxious mother I am answering many more
 Of the mothers who write to me about their little daughters. nine ou. of ten are bemoaning the condition o. the golden locks. There IS note ol nathos in many of the letters; It IS easv to read between the lines and "a see the fat yellow curl of the baby days that is folded away in a drawer and know that as the brown steals In day by day the guardian of that curl sees her baby vanishing from her sight No matter how dear the grown up daughter may be, it hurts to lose the yellow-headed toddler.
 Right here I might as we'll be cruel and get it over and done with. On this point of the changing color have no help top offer. Pretty as the golden curls were, you have no right to cling to them if nature intends otherwise. Ills of the hair can and should De treated, but the darkening that years bring is natural, and should not be ar rested. The other day I was admiring the beautiful color of an 11-year--old girls hair. It glinted like all the tresses that the poets have immortal ized.
 How beautiful 1t Is. Are you afraid that it will change in time?" asked the mother in all innocence. A little later I chanced to part tho gold en locks, and there in the parting was revealed a quarter inch of dark brown hair the undyjng growth of the roots. Peroxide of hydrogen had been ap- piled to the baby! I had been entirely unsuspecting, because I could not be- lieye that anyone would use artificial means to improve upon the beauty that youth and nature had given to little child.
 Peroxide of hydrogen does not in- jure the hair, but its use is an abuse of good taste. When nature means one to have blond locks she gives the eyes and lashes and skin that harmon ize with them. With every year that child's complexion will grow away from her hair until finally the falsity is apparent Just at present her hair is a shade that might be natural, con- sidering her years. But she is con- demned to a peroxide slavery. tinting every few weeks, or she must go through the miserable and humiliating

 M. R.--Your hair should not be sticky after the shampoo if you rinse it in several waters and strain the juice of 0 lemon into the final water. The lemon is the secret of a perfect finish to the shampoo. I should pre- fer castle soap to the one you men tion. AS to the badness caused by an accident. try daily rubbings with vasefine. The friction and the oil should start the growth of hair, if anything will.
 J. F. C.-Nothing removes warts so satisfactorily as electrolysis. Go to a reliable specialist for your treatment. Lunar caustics and various other dras- tic remedies are commonly used, but there Is always danger E a scar after their use, and this is particularly se- rious when the wart is on the face.

The ex- ercise you take is good as far as 1t goes. but I judge 1t is too light for you You must work at some sort of physical culture. I don't care what, un- till you perspire.

 Singeing is good to increase the hairs growth. Monthly clipping is also good. unless the hair is naturally coarse. Clipping makes it still coarser. Never touch a curling iron to the hair.

Fire sand of carborundum Is being tested as a lining for furnaces ex- posed Co high temperatures. It is an electric furnace compound of carbon and silicon. and is grayish-g green. gran ular, easily crushed, and a poor con- ductor of heat. It is applied as a mixture with a tenth as much silicate of soda. It resists temperatures that cause high grade fire-brick to give way, and 1t is especially convenient as paste for making repairs or restor- ing worn-out parts.
