Mlcrobe of GRAY Hair.

They have discovered a new mic.
robe in New York and it is quite popu-
lar among actors and society women.
1t is called the chromophage, its spe-
cial function being to turn the hair
gray at comparatively early age. The
handsome actor who has those white
hairs on his temple that the women
admire so is full of the chromophages.
Baldheaded men are immune from the
microbes. He only attacks the hair,
and man without hair need not wor
ry about the chromophage For years
1t was thought that a process of the
blood killed the coloring matter Of the
hair cells, but scalpologists in New
York combat that theory. They say
1t is the chromophage. The microbe
does not like heat and for that reason
the woman who uses the curling tongs
is less likely to have gray hair than
the one who puts her hair up in pa
pers.

pany Has Been Dragging Along
for Years and Every Legal
Remedy Exhausted.

Washington.-The Supreme court of
the United States has denied the petit
ton of former United States Senator
Burton Of Kansas for a rehearing in
the case in which he is under SEN
tence Of Imprisonment and fine under
the charge of accepting an attorneys
fee in case in which the government
was interested while he was serving
as senator. The effect of the decision
will be the immediate Imprisonment
Of Burton unless his attorneys devise
some other means of postponing the
execution of the sentence.
There was no formal announcement
of the decision in the Burton case in
open court, the chief justice merely
handing a brief memorandum to the
clerk of the court just before conven-
ing.
The case of Burton has been before
the court since 1908, when he was in
dicted in st. Louis on the charge of
accepting fee for representing the
Rialto Grain company of that city in
an effort to debar it from the use of
the United States malls He was
found guilty and sentenced to serve
six months in Jail and pay fine of
$500 On appeal to the supreme
court the decision was reversed on
technicality and second trial was
ordered The second verdict was
identical with the first. and it was af-
firmed by the supreme court. The af-
firmation was announced just before
the close OF the court in May last.
The motion for a rehearing was then
filed. 1t was claimed in Buttons be-

KING OF sAFE-RREAKERs.
Marvellous Delicacy Of Hearing Pos
sessed by Miner James.

Miner James was the most artistic
safe-breaker in the business" said
Lecocq the detective. He is dead
now. He opened in his time over 700
safes without tools or gunpowder
solely by working out the combination
with his delicate and patient fingers.
1t took me year. he once said,
to learn the trick of picking combina-
lions. l studied all the locks there
were and had three safes of different
makes to practice on. The ear is the
most important factor in my method
and it must be held tight against the
safe door on line with the tumblers.
When the knob of the lock is turned
slowly and one of the tumblers reach
es the notch corresponding to the first
number of the combination the tum-
bier will fall with little click. Care
must be taken not to displace this
tumbler. You keep on trying the knob
back and forth gently till each of the
tumblers drops. Then the door opens.
Hardly one man In thousand has an
ear delicate enough for this work and
to be a success at it you've got to give
up tobacco ana alcohol.

dition in which the influenza left me
than did from the disease itself. l felt
generally wretched and miserable and
the least exposure to cold would make
me worse. i couldn't seem to get any
better until began to take DIR. Williams
Pink Pills. 1 very quickly noticed a
benefit after began taking them and
they restored me to good health and
strength DIR. Williams Pink Pills are
a wonderfully good medicine. Thanks
TO them / am now in fine health and
have had noreturn Of my former trouble
/ recommend the pills TO everyone who
is ailing and take every opportunity to
let people know how good they are"
DR. Williams Pink Pills cured Mrs.
Morrison because they actually make
good, red blood. When the blood is red
and healthy there can be no debility.
The relation between the blood and
nervous system is such that the pills
have very decided action upon the
nerves and they nave cured many severe
nervous disorders, such as partial pa
ralysis, locomotor ataxia and st. Vitus'
dance, that have not yielded to ordinary
treatment. Their double action, on the
blood and on the nerves, makes them an
ideal tonic.

Pills, or they will be sent by mail post
