After half a century spent in the lab
oratory. crowned with high honors for
his many world famous discoveries, the
celebrated physician chemist at the head
or the great Altenheim Medical Dispen-
sary has just made the startling an
nouncement that he has produced q
compound that grows hair on any bald
head. The doctor makes the claim that
after experiments, taking years TO COM
plete, he has az last reached the goal of
his ambition. To the doctor all heads
are alike There are none which cannot
be cured by this remarkable remedy.
The record of the cures already made
is truly marvellous and were 1t not for
the high standing Of the great physician
and the convincing testimony of thou
sands of citizens all over the country
Il would seem too miraculous to be true

RICH WOMAN'S LIFE
SAVED BY NEW HAT
Heavy Roll of Velvet Prevents Fracture
of Skull When Wife of Million
aire Falls.

SHARON, Pa, Jan. 2s.-A new style
hat saved the life of Mrs. Bull yester-
day. She is the wife of Frank H. Buhl
northumberland and former president
of the Sharon Steel Company.
Mrs. Bull was walking along Oakland
Avenue, when she slipped and fell,
striking her head on the stone pave
ment. The force of the blow rendered
her unconscious.
Physicians revived her with much diff
hculty. Her escape from fatal injury
was undoubtedly due to a new hat which
she wore. Underneath the back part OF
the hat was a heavy roll OF velvet
which served as a cushion when her
head struck the pavement.
The physicians say that had the vel
vet not been on the hat II e blow would
surely have caused death

Winter Resorts.

Europeans in the near future will be
coming 10 America TO pass the rough
winter season instead Of going 10 Italy
and the south Of France. 1t Will prove
true. In years past Americans went TO
the south of Europe TO escape the rtgOrS
Of our Northern winter. Some Of them
go now. Possibly IL is force OF habit;
possibly II is because in the case Of
snobbish people they think II fashion
able and they stand a chance Of meet
ing the fashionables OF Europe. By
and-by. however, our own people as wei
as the people OF Europe will be infiu-
cnced by the simple advantages OF con-
yenience comfort, and health in the
choice OF their wintering place. These
they will find most real in Florida. along
the Gulf Coast. and in southern Cali
fornia. First they can reach those
points from this city, which may be
called the center OF the Northern re-
gion and from which European visitors
would go, more easily than they can
reach the Mediterranean from London

METHODS OF PREVENTION

Twenty per cent of the total deaths
in the District last week were due TO
pneumonia-a greater percentage than
from any other disease. The increase
OF pneumonia. not only in the District,
but all over the country. is attracting
the attention Of many boards of health
and all public-minded citizens.
The District Health officer. DR.. Wood
ward. has from time TO time discussed
pneumonia and other prevalent diseases
for the benefit of the readers of The
Times. Today DR.. Woodward could not
be reached. but an interview was OBJ
tained from another authoritative
source.
Pneumonia Contagious.

Usage INDIANS ASK
DIVISION OF LANDS
Chief Big Heart and Seventeen Tribes
men in Washington to Lay Claims
Before Secretary of Interior.

Eighteen Usage Indians headed by
James Big Heart. chief of the tribe.
have come to Washington 70 ask this
Government that the lands which thes'
possess In northern Oklahoma be di-
vided among the members OF the tribe
individually. The Usage tribe is the
richest and most influential Of any Of
those surviving. Eight million dollars
is the sum credited 10 them in the
Treasury. and on this amount they are
drawing an interest of S4O0. GOD annually.
Divided among the 1000 tribesmen this
therefore gives them $500 each a year.
The leading tribesmen. however. are not
content with the present arrangement.
They want to own their own lands and
as each of them would be entitled 10
700 acres. they would be very comfort
ably of in case the lands were cult

SEEKING
COTTON SUPPLY
American Speculative Movement Said
to Be Chief Motive Behind
the Enterprise.

European countries are said to be
making a strong effort to emancipate
their textile industries from dependence
upon the American cotton. The coun-
tries directing their attention toward
this movement are Great Britain,
France and Germany.
The German campaign for a colonial
cotton supply is the most vigorous and
interesting. The empire is anxious TO
justify the acquisition OF it's African col
onies by making them the means of OBJ
tanning a permanent supply of cotton
from colonies under it's control The
most potent reason. however. grows out
of the uncertainty of the cottn market
within the past few months.
Market Fluctuations.
German newspapers charge that the
American cotton market Is at the mercy
Of groups of constituencies spectators
who drive prices up and down TO suit
their own purposes. They further aver
that the Governments reports upon the
size and quality of the crop are contra
dictory and misleading. Another reason
for desire for home growth is the
constant growth of American cotton
manufactures which consume a large
portion of the crop and leave a narrow
ing surplus for expectation
England and France are joining in the
movement. An organization called the
British Cotton Growing Association has
been operating successfully for two
years In English colonies. while France
has likewise established a colonial cot
ton association working in the Soudan.
Thus far the movement is in its in
fancy. but its future may be ominous
for cotton growers of the Southern
States.

Suit was begun yesterday in the dis trict court by Judge Wilcoxen in be- half Martha Taylor Hoffman for a di- vorce from Charles E. Hoffman. The plaintiff alleges that she was married to the defendant at Denver, May |, 1897, by the common law method, and that shortly aftepward her husband be- came abusive. They came to Skagway in the spring of 1898, and that she has been suiected to cruel and inhuman treatment ever since coming here.
