A WONDERFUL INVENTION

1t is interesting to note that fortunes
are frequently made by the invention of
articles Of minor importance. Many OF
the most popular devices are those de-
signed to benefit the people and meet
popular conditions, and ..one Of the most
interesting of these that has ever been
invented is the DR.. White Electric Comb
patented Jan. l. '99. These wonderful
Combs positively cure dandruf, hair
falling out, sick and nervous headaches,
and when used with DR.. Whites Elec.
trio Hair Brush are positively guayan-
teed to make straight Ihnir curly in 25
days time. Thousands Of these electric
combs have been sold in various cities Of
the Union, and the demand is conse-
quently increasing. Our agents are rap
idly becoming rich selling these combs.
They positively sell on sight. Send for
sample. Mems size 35c., ladies' 5Oc.-

cept it and spend it for some good
cause and in that way convert it,

would take repentant sinner and
start him on the straight and mar

newspaper man long to decide
whether or not he should accept
the so-called "bad' money and if
some of the ministers who are op-
posed to it had to run a paper for

No decisive action was taken by
the senate in regard to ousting
Senator Morgan for bribe-taking.
Despite the fact that there was Il
clear case against the senator, the
Republicans had no desire to
throw out one of their own people.
No doubt the committee appointed
to review the testimony adduced
at the hearing of the charges by
the bribery committee came to the
conclusion that Morgan was no
worse than the majority of the
legislature and therefore would
not push the matter to an issue
1t is possible that Morgan may be
brought before the senate of the
next General Assembly to answer
the charges preferred against him,
but this is very doubtful and con-
sequently he will go unpunished
for his dishonesty.

The preachers throughout the
country have another problem now
to solve outside of the divorce
question. This one is of finan-
cial nature-whether it is right or
not to accept donations for chari-
table purposes known to have been
gotten by the donor from a dis.
honest source. Many ministers
have expressed themselves regard
ing the acceptance of the Rookie
feller money-some for and some
against-and some very PLAUSIBLE
arguments have been advanced by
both sides of the controversy. In

the churches and the same cannot

The Choice of a Wife.

A German professor selects a %o-
man who can merely stew prunes-
not because stewing prunes and read
ing Proclus make a delightful har-
mony, but because he wants his
prunes stewed for him and chooses to
read Proclus by himself. fulness Of
sympathy, sharing of life one with
another, is scarcely ever looked for
except in a narrow, conventional
sense. Men like to come hone and
find a blazing fire and smiling face
and an hour Of relaxation. Their
serious thoughts and earnest aims in
life they keep on one side. And this
is the carrying out Of love and mer.
riage almost everywhere in the world
and this the degrading of women by
both.-From One Of Mrs. Browning's
Letters, 1S46.

Wealth and Longevity.

The late Prof. Owen threshed out
the question of wealth and longevity
thoroughly. II was his conclusion that
If it be true that the dietary of the
rich is opposed to health, the absence
of worry, of anxiety over the living OF
themselves and their families, the ABB
sence of severe toll. and the like,
more than compensate for any diges-
tive troubles they may incur. Prob
ably most rich people eat too much
and their dietary is too stimulating,
but this is less dangerous to life thar
is frequent hunger with overwork,
anxiety and exposure. A happy me-
dium, of course, is the suggestion OF
common sense and experience.

Simple Test With litmus PAPER
Showed Acid.
The state experiment stations are
doing a great work for the farmers.
The following incident shows how
simple some of the tests are when
you know how" says writer in
Country Life in America. A station
official was going over a farm with the
owner when they came to a crawishy
piece of land just back of the barn,
the very weeds looked yellow and un.
healthful.
Il am inclined to think" remarked
the ngriculturist. that this land is too
acid for productivity. We can de-
termine this In moment"
Taking blue piece of paper from
his pocket he stopped and dipped the
paper In some of the soil water that
was standing in COW track. To the
owners astonishment the blue paper
changed to a red color as soon as It
was immersed.
There" said the agriculturst, I'VE
have our proof. This is just a piece
OF litmus paper. For cents you can
buy similar piece at any drug store.
Its change of color shows that the
land is sour. Crops cannot thrive on
sour land any more than children
can thrive on sour milk"

There once was time when doctors
were doomed to celibacy. 1t was at
the conclusion Of the medieval period
when medicine was in the hands OF
the monks. In France, the British Medi
cal Journal recalls. the habit of cell
bacy persisted long after the practice o.
medicine had passed into lay hands
For two or three centuries the doc
tors protested, but in vain. The mat
ter was finally laid before the pope
and towards the end Of the fifteenth
century the vow was abolished.
