worn as protection The present hat,
no doubt, was a relic of olden times
when helmets were worn to protect the
head in battle. Could any one imagine
a more unsightly and uncomfortable
article than a top hat? He challenged
anybody to bring forth a single advan-
tage the top hat offered. The caps so
universally worn were close, warm and
heavy and impeded the growth of the
hair. Young children's hair would
grow strong in a very short time if
their heads were left uncovered. There
was no possible doubt that the fresh
air admitted to the head prevented gray
hairs and badness. Mr.. Kremnitz
further urged the adoption of sandals
in dry weather. These he particularly
recommended for the use of the poorer
classes, as he considered that bad
and old wornout boots were a source
of disease.
The proposal was seconded by Miss
G. Perkin, and was generally Endorsed,
but in London, adds the correspondent,
1t is meeting with some show of oppo-
sition and ridicule.

August sport there is the breeding Of
wild ducks. A driven wild duck pre-
s,nts as difficult a shot to the crack
gunner as a driven grouse, and the
birds can be more certainly driven
over the guns from a hill loch than
from the low.lying lakes in the
English counties, where that branch
of sport has hitherto been most success.

one great recommendation in its favor,
which should lead to its wider adop'
tion in grouse counties, is that the
srort can begin earlier in the holiday
month of August than grouse shooting
commences on the surrounding moors.

Farm Machinery for Alaska.

A Seattle firm has received an order
from Rampant, Alaska, for moving
machine and horse hayrake This is
said to be the first order of the kind
that has ever come from western Alas
ka and appears to offer proof that the
Land of the Midnight Sun has other re-
sources than gold and fish, says the
Portland Oregonian. The order for
the machine came from a pack train
operator who has spent seven years in
the country and evidently knows what
it is capable Of Western Alaska is
too close to the arctic circle for very
long summers, but the days are so
long and warm that cereals and grasses
are said to mature much quicker than
in ATTITUDES farther south. Farming
may never become an industry of very
great Importance in Alaska, but as the
country develops on other lines, there
will be a demand for agricultural prod
ucts which may make their culture
even under adverse circumstances quite
profitable

At the meeting of the Leeds physical
culturists the other day, in England,
the honorable secretary, Mr.. Harry
Kremnitz, an engineer by profession,
brought forward his proposal regard
ing the mo hat crusade. He said he
introduced this purely from a hygienic
point of view and believed strongly
that the continued use of headgear
with little or no ventilation was detri-
mental to the growth of the hair, says
the London Telegraph. 1t was also,
to a great extent, an act Of impolite-
ness into which we had fallen uncon-
sciously. The use of hats should not
only be discontinued in stutfy offices,
warehouses, work rooms, theaters, IL
braries and public halls, but should be
abolished altogether.
He (Mr. Kremnitz) had no doubt
others had gone hatless for consider
able period before this proposal was
made, but he now desired the physical
culturists to set an example and to
abolish their headgear entirely. He
allowed, however, an exception should
it pour with rain or in winter if it was
very cold. A light hat might be then

TIBETAN PRAYING WHEEL

wheel, said Mr. a r. Wright at meet

wheel, which the Tibetan spends much
of the time in turning, Is that If turned

is undone, says the London Mail.
Some of the articles used by the Tibet

with human skin is used as horn for
exercising demons and to draw the
soul from hell. A double drum made
from two halves of a skull, the skin
covering being that Of a human being,
is placed on the altar Of certain fiend
deities in the Tibetan religion.

|NO GUESSING BY JAPAN.
ARRANGEMENT FOR ARMY SUPPLIES
WELL NIGHT PERFECT.
Every Japanese Arrangement Present a
Striking Contrat to the Plans of
Russians.

Nothing should give the friends Of
Japan more confidence than the way
the detail of supply is being managed,
says the London Mail The arrange
ments are the more noteworthy be-
cause of the contrast supplied by the
other side. The Russians sent their
cavalry from Manchuria into Korea
hampered by baggage wagons and hav-
ing to depend mainly upon what they
could Immediately gather from the
people. At every step their troops had
to stop to hunt for fodder.
The japanese have gone to work in
different style. Long ago they started
Korean language classes in Tokyo for
picked soldiers. While some of the
best japanese officers were making
their way to Mongolia to organize and
train the so called robber bands there
who are now, many of them, practical
" Japanese irregular cavalry in dis
guise-others went all over northern
Korea.
Men living as Koreans, speaking the
language as natives, regarded by even
the natives as people Of their own race,
were in every district. The japanese
knew not merely every road, but appar-
emily every person.
Thus, when fighting came, they knew
the land, while the Russians, living on
it's borders, did not. Every japanese
officer has his map of the part he is
working in. The Russians, apparently,
have had to make their maps as they
go, for the first Russian scouting ex-
petitions have been accompanied by
staff officers who drew plans and
sketched maps as they went.
The Russians have had difficulty in
obtaining reliable Interpreters and, If
report speaks true, have been utterly
misled more than once by the stories
carried to them by Koreans. The Jap
anese have their own people trained for
that purpOse.-LOndOn Mail

Kinks love for the fiddle is inclined
by his presence on his back porch each
night. He sits there after doing his
chorus until late in the evening and
saws away and grinds out some old
fayorites. Near by is frog pond,
and at first you couldn't tell whether
Joe or his amphibious vocalists were
ahead. Then Joe began to notice that
as he played the GLORIOUS from the
pond grew fainter, and he remarked
to his wife one night: 'Derned If then
frogs amt listening.
"Then some of the tenors got to
chipping in a few notes when Joe
reached the refrain of How Can L
Bear to Leave Thee?' and soon he
found that the batrachains were croak-
ing in unison. This pleased him so
much that he discarded the rest OF
his repertoire and confined himself to
this one selection. On the next night
after the tenors made their debut the
bass began to boom in, keeping the
time perfectly. On the third night
the whole pond was alive with not
only the refrain, but the entire air.
"When he'd take his seat on the
porch and give his fiddle two or three
tuning-up whangs the frog chorus
| would instantly cease, except here and
there one pitched the note. Then,
when he struck up, the grand
accompaniment began and carried the
song through to the end, all Jumping

EozEMA KEPT SPREADING.

Six years ago my wife had breaking out below
her knees. At first red bumps appeared, but SOON
white, husky scabs came, and when these would
shed off the place became red again, and would
itch and burn so that she found it impossible to
sleep. At times a yellow water ran from the
bumps, and it kept getting worse and worse. Our
family physician pronounced it Eczema and pre-
scribed ointmentsi and powders; but it kept
spreading, eaking out on her body and arms,
and almost closed up her ears. The druggist at
Garner told me to try s. s. s., which she did, and
after taking several bottles was cured, and 10

STOMACH DOSING WILL NOT CURE.
Only Way to Cure Catarrh is By
Breathing HyOmei.

ASA any physician if catarrn is a
blood disease and he will tell you that
1t is diseased condition of the mucous
membrane and that it cannot be cured
by blood purifiers, pills, tablets, or
other forms of stomach dosing, The
only sensible and scientific way of cur.
ing catarrh is by the use of Hyomei.
Breathed for few minutes, four or
five times day, through a hard rubber
inhaler that is so small that it can be
carried in the vest pocket, Hyomei will
absolutely destroy all catarrhal germs
and cure the disease Cartarrh can
never exist where Hyomei lis used, II
has two-fold action, destroying the di-
sease germs in the air passages and
lungs, and soothing and healing the in
famed mucous membrane.
Dodson's Pharmacy one of the most
reliable firms in Americus are giving
their personal guarantee with every
package of Hyomei they sell, that it
will effect cure or they will return the
money. They have had scores of re-
ports of remarkable cures of both acute
and chronic cases of catarrh by Hyomei.

germs and microbes to know that there is
one disease at least where germicide does
not have to be used to cure it,
Dyspepsia is a plain, ord nary common,
miserable disease that has all kinds of
causes except germ. To cure 1t, the in.
famed and irritated organs should be re-
lieved for a time of part of their work.
Mona, the one guaranteed cure for dys-
pepsia, meets these conditions and also
gives strength and tone to the whole system.
A few days treatment viii show the great
good Mona can do and its use for a reas.
enable length of time will result in a com

this remedy. It is as certain to be success
full in curing dyspepsia and stomach troubles
as anything can be. A two weeks treatment
costs but 50 cents
Mona is sold by Dodson's Pharmacy on
