HOPE FOR THE BALDHEADs
German Professor Says II Is Simple
Thing to Renew Growth
of Fair.

Prof. Kromeyer, of Germany who
turns bald heads into raderewskis
and Kropotkins for consideration,
hopes to have the honor Of treating
President Roosevelt's son-in-law on
his forthcoming tour of the courts OF
Europe.

fessor will not believe hts name is
Longworth--Prince Nicholas can

ing-he would be an excellent advcr-
tisement for my method. don't you

Though the professors claims look
f1shy, he is not an ordinary fakir by
any means. He was professor Of
dermatology at the University OF
Halle before he came to Berlin, and is
a well-known specialist Of the Finsen
light method, on which he has i'm
proved in several ways.
The Berlin faculty recognizes 33
cures of bald heads effected by him
by legitimate methods, and OF the
baldhead class under his care so far
only 25 per cent. went away like bill
lard balls after he got through with
them. His ultra violet hight rays
operate directly through the opening
of the cooled protective shield upon
the bald spots, and are subject to tho
rays from half a minute to- quarter
of an hour at time.
The reaction is: Reddening of the
skin and formation of painful blis-
tiers. AT the same time the hair roots,
seemingly dead, begin to regenerate.
After the second light bath one can
SEQ them sprout.
The professor introduced girl of

ing long sickness. The professor
gave her head AZ light baths within
six months. To-day Gretchen could

funny part of it is there is no more

was years before they joined the club.
Neither has the club atmosphere and
the privilege of listening to Ebert

them from that peculiar mental bias
that women will always have, no mat

for instance, the subject of electing
a new president was lately up in our
club. The two prime requisites for
the presidency of our club are
money and dignity One candidate
was objected to because of her gown.
She was stout woman and she was
short-sighted enough to have the

round. This, of course, made her

seemed in every way desirable and I

Kent defers to hini more than he does
to any one else; and Loring is a solid
sober-minded sorti' Il
YES" she agreed; 'T was glad, too"
After that the talk languished. and
the silence was broken only by the
distant droning Of an electric car, the
fizz and click of the: arc light over the
roadway, and the occasional dap of one
of the great beetles darting hitler and
thither in the glare.
Ormsby was wondering if the time
was come for the successful exploiting.
of an idea which had been growing on
him steadily for weeks, not to say
months. 1T
1t was becoming more and more
evident to him that he was not ad-
vancing in the sentimental siege be-
yond the first parallel thrown up so
skillfully on the last night of the west
ward journey. 1t was not that Eiuor
was lacking in loyalty or in &C
quiescence; she scrupulously gave him
both as an accepted sutton. But
though he could not put his finger upon
the precise thing said or done which
marked the loosening Of his hold. he
knew he was receding rather than
advancing.
Now to man of expedients the in
terposition of an obstacle suggests
only ways and means for overcoming
it. Ormsby had certain clear-cut con-
victions touching the subjugation of
women, and as his stout heart gave
him resolution he lived up to them.
When he spoke again it was of the
matter which concerned him most
deeply; and his plea was gentle repe-
tition of many others in the same
strain.
"Eiinor, have waited patiently for
a long time, and I'll go on doing it, il
that is what will come the nearest to
pleasing you. But it would be a
prodigious comfort If l might be- count
ing the days or the weeks. Are you
still finding it impossible to set the
limit?"
She nodded slowly, and he took the
next step like a man feeling his way in

THE WINNING LOSER.

Editor Hildreths prophecy concern
ing the probable attitude of the adj
ministration newspapers in the discus
sion of the oil field affair waited but
a day for its fulfilIment. On the Fri
day morning there appeared in the
Capital Tribune, the Midland; City
Chronicle. the Range County Afaver-
lex and the Agriculta Ruralist; able
editorials generating |: the Bucks
party, it's policy and the executive,
and heapihg mountains of obloquy on
the name of Duvall. These editorials
were so similar in tone. tenor and tex
ture. as pointedly tos suggest a COM
mon model--a coincidence which was
not allowed to pass unremarked by
Hildreth and other nholders of public
opinion on the Opposite side of the
political fence. But Hildreth did no.
pause at generalities. Two days after
the Universal's triumph in the Bel
mount field, theDArgps began to hit
it up boldly toward the capitol, and
two things came of ii. The first was
an attempt by some Iparty or parties
unknown to buy up p controlling in
terest in the Argus. sThe second was
the waylaying of David Kent in the
lobby of the Clarendon; hotel by no
less parsonage than the Hon. Mel
ton Meigs, attorney general Of the
state.
Kent had seen LITTLE of iAIeigs since
the latter had turned him down in
the quo warranto matter: and his
guard went up quickly when the at
torney general accosted him in the
lobby of the hotel and asked for pri-
vate interview.
Il am very much occupied just now,
Mr.. Meigs,' he demurred; @but it it is
a matter of importa1ce--r
ct is; matter of the greatest i'm
portance," was the smooth toned re-
ply. 81 am sure you will not regret it
if you will give me ia few moments.
Mr.. Kent"
Kent decided quickly. Being fore
warned, there was nothing to fear,
eve will go up to my rooms, II you
please" he said, leading the way to
the elevator; and no lother word was
spoken until they were behind closed
doors on the fourth floor.
ga predatory remark may make my
business with you sdem a little less
singular, Mr.. Kent" Meigs began,
when Kent had passed his cigar-case
and the attorney general had apollo
gized for a weak digestive tract. "On
wholly divergent lines and from
wholly different motives we are both
working toward the same end, 1 be-
lieve, and it has occurred to me that
we might be of some assistance to
each other
Kert's rejoinder was mute signal
to the effect that he vas attending.

MacFarlane's action and status. You

mand was little peremptory

has met with the approval of all good

lasting influence upon the integrity

this state upheld the right and duty of
the state government to maintain
peace and good order throughout the

Moyer case.

titled to fair and honest elections In
the Big Mitt cases; these two decisions
have proved more beneficial to all the

other acts ever done by any govern
ment agency, and as time goes on their
