Massaeing the Scalp
A method of massaging the scalp for
resting tired nerves is to raise the scalp
by pressing the hands on opposite sides
of the head. This pressure should be
very firm and is applied now to one
part, now to another. The effect of this
maneuver Is extremely restful, but l
should never advise its application in
any case but that of young people.

entire amount of money paid In by
contract holders, between $4,000
and $4,000.
II was brought by Receivers Ru-
dolph and Reed and alleges that
the company is insolvent and unable
to discharge its obligations and that
the stockholders did not really pay
over anything for their stock. The
minutes of the board of directors
fail to show where any stock was
paid for at any time and because of
this method of organization the
plaintiffs allege that the stock hold
ers are liable for certain portion
of the funds taken in from contract
holders.
The sums sued for is prorated as
follows among the following defend
ants named: w. b. Smith. $4,000;
C. M. Martin, $4,000; G. r. Davis.

It is understood that the Home
Purchasing company is what is
known as an "abortive" cor
poration and that a concern of this
kind is similar to a co-partnership,
and each member of 1t is liable for
a portion of the liabilities of the
concern, whatever the liabilities are.
II is understood that at least
some of those sued above have not
been associated with the concern in
any way, and will show that their
names were used without authority.
and that when stock was sent to
them gratuitously in order to get
the use of their names as stock
holders or directors, IL was sent
back as soon as the nature of the
was ascertained. In some
instances as soon as the stock was
sent out, 1t is said, the organizers of
the company had literature sent out
with names as stockholders or di-
rectors of several men who immedi-
itely prohibited the use of their
names, but not before. the desired
effect had been secured by the pro-
noters, who had already put out the
literature.

still Pending IN che
Courts.
FALSE REPORTS ARE CHARGED

Madison, Wis, July 15.-The
state won penalty cases against the
Northwestern, Milwaukee, Omaha
and Minneapolis, st. Paul and Sault
Ste. Marie railroads.
The court finds the state is enti-
tied to recover from each of these
roads $4,000 as these railroads ad-
mitted they falsified their reports of
gross earnings made to the state for
1902. The state still has an action
against these same railroads to re-
cover penalties upon the reports of
earnings which they made in 1903.
The state has penalty suits also
against the Wisconsin Central road.
the Green Bay, the Burlington and
the Illinois Central. On the basis of
the decision today and on what is
known of the reports of the earnings
of the roads which have been flied
with the state for 1902 and 1903 and
upon which these railroads pay Ii
cense fees for 1903 and 1904, the
state would be entitled to recover
penalties of 100000.
The recoveries of the penalties to-
tai in the above amount is only
small amount of what the railroads
will be compelled to pay the state.
On gross earnings wrongfully with
held they still owe the state 4 per
cent upon the total amount of gross
which will amount to
more than a half million dollars.
