In some of the Swiss valleys the in- habitants are all afflicted with goltre or thick neck" Instead of regarding this as defoemity they seem to think It is natural feature of physical dey- elopment, and tourists passing through the valleys are sometimes ieered by the goltrOus inhabitants be- cause they are without this offensive swelling. Thus form of disease may become so common that It is regarded as a natural and necessary condition of life. It is so, to large extent, with what are called diseases of women. Every woman suffers more or less from irregularity, ulceratlon, and facilitating drains, or female weakness, and this suffering is so unl- yerslal that many accept it as condi- tiOn natural and necessary to thelr sex. But it is as unnatural as 1t IS un- necessary. The use of pr.

JOHNNY ON THE SPOT"

The world has many golden gifts 'tis eager to bestow On enterprising mortals who are not too shy or slow To step right up and win their share of prizes when they can, But, oh, the worlds too busy, quite. \ to seek the absent man. And those who mean to do so much next week or month or year. Away off in some misty cline instead of now and here, May some day rouse themselves and find a score of them have not As much true ''get thereo as has one brisk '.Johnny on the spot. When shy Miles Standish sought to win the fair Priscilla's hand By courting her by proxy, t isn't hard to understand, The comedy Plymouth maiden said she really would prefer John Alden, who possessed the spunk to come and speak with her. That old, oft quoted piece of fudge which says that "A bsence makes The heart grow fonder" must be clasSed with those absurd mistakes Whic h blunt. slang using folks would say are all a bit of ''rot''- The chap that wins the lady is the Johnny on the spot. ," The men who framed our nation fought against tremendous odds: They never could have won had they been slow, weak hearted clods. Each mothers son of them seemed glad to risk his precious neck; Wherever duty called him, there 1t found him, right on deck. Brave Washington was at the front, his counJry's course to guide, With Adams, Franklin, Jefferson and Hancock at his side. No proxies could have done the work for that immortal lot Whose every man was what you'd call Johnny on the spot. In love or war or politics or whatso- e'er you will The wiser man is not the one to send boy to mill. Oh, no, he takes the grist himself, and, like prudent nan, He makes the miller give him back the best return he can. And genius "'properly detind, so sages all declare. Means being at the proper when" just at the proper where. So, of the many varied gifts the gods to men allot The rarest ones are sure to fall to Johnny on the spot"

HARVEY THOMPSON
 STILL IN TROUBLE

Fairbanks News: To have one charge dismissed and to be arrested for the same alleged crime on an other charge, is the experience of Harvey Thompson accused of cash ing a money order made out to Mrs. Thompson of Cinema last winter.

Chinese Boycott Puts Americans
 Out Of Business

neSe boycott Is StlIl gaming StIeuStH among the laboring classes and all the native laborers employed by the Standard Oil Company have quit work. It is learned that the society order which calls off these men will presently affect all the workers, high and low, of all the American firms operating in China At Shang- hai several important American concerns have ostensibly sold out to competing firms of British na- tionality. This manner of escaping the boycott is not likely to prove popular, since in two cases it has resulted ill the boycotting of all the British goods with which the Amer ican products were mixed. The Chinese press is advising the public that there is a large amount of changing of the wrappings and brands of American goods going on in order to escape the boycott. Two French firms are suing their Amer ican competitors for substituting brand nearly resembling the French markings.
 Shanghai, July 2S.-Local Chi nese bankers have started to boycott American bankers. European banks will be given preference over those of the United States wherever pos sibls, and the American institutions in China will be rigidly boycotted.

''It is better for women to have a

Parents must be on guard lest thier
daughters see or hear any evil thing:
A woman must not chatter nor SIAN

"a wife must not waste her money

This disappearance Of the hair, ac'
cording to the doctors, raust be sought
in the very conditions of civilization
and in the customs it has introduced.
One of the customs especially hurtful
to the hair is the nat, and, above all,
tie masculine hat; 80 we see man's
hair suffer more than woman's.
The nat produces badness by two
different methods. First, by creating
about the head an atm osphere which
is fatally warm and Dloist, and which
prevents the penetration OF the rays
of light that are so fatal to bacteria;
the hat makes for the microbes a sort
Of improvised hotbei, which is en-
tremely favorable u their develop

play an important role in the produc-
ton of badness. 4 it had been de-
sired to foster the existence OF mi
crobes capable q. living upon the
scalp or n the hair, a more favorable
means Tor their protection and multi
plication than the hat could not have
been found. Again, the hat holding
it's place upon the head solely bj pres
sure, exerts second pernicious lnhu'
ence upon the scalp; it congresses the
arteries and the veins: 1t impedes
the circulation OF the blood and, con-
sequentiy, the nutrition Of the organs
which produce the hair. 1t is, there
( fore, doubly desirable that the reign OF
the hat should cease, in the case OF
mentor with women the hat Is so

be very hesalthy with bare heads. The

to avoid sunstroke. It Is true the
public imagines that it would catch
cold more easily, but this is a mis-
take, draught alone Is rot enough
to give cold; microhe is absolutely

in going with the head bald than in
