It was a hundred feet or more from the highway. and In summer there were flowers along the path from its little gate and vines climbing to the upper windows.

Care of the Hair,

All hair if properly cared for will be beautiful. even though the color may not be just what you would like. The hair should be carefully shampooed every ten days, using the green soap mixture for the purpose. Then dry the hair in the sun and rub on good hair tonic. The hair tonic should also bs applied each night, rubbing 1t well into the scalp with the finger tips.

DISCHARGES THE RULE
COURTS ACTION IN KNIGHTS OF
LABOR CONTROVERSY.

Justice Could of the District Supreme
Court today discharged the rule recently
issued against the members of the Burns
faction of the Knights of Labor. requiring
them to show cause why they should not be
enioined from holding special session OF
the General Assembly Of the order In New
York city September 10.
The rule dissolved today was issued at the
instance OF John w. Hayes and others, COM
monty called the Hayes faction of the
Knights of Labor.
The Burns faction in its answer con-
tended that the new proceeding Is an
attempt to set aside the opinion of the
District Court Of Appeals. which held
that the Equity Court is without juris-
diction to determine which of the two
factions was properly elected at the Mag
ara meeting in November 1902
!. Justice Gould took this view of the
question and dismissed the rule.
Attorneys John Ridout and r. Golden
Donaldson represented the Burns fac
ton, and the Hayes faction was repre-
scented. by Attorneys H. E. Davis and

returning as brown as button from a trim

friend on the street who still has the prison
pallor of the city upon his face. why, old

pathetically, what is the matter with your
Are you ill? Why in heavens name don't
you get little color in your countenance?"
And when you have asked the questions you
perceive that you have given pain and per-
haps aroused envious resentment. Your
friend is indeed prisoner. He might In
deed, go out to Far Rockaway OF Sunday
and lie on the beach on his back and burn
himself as red as lobster. But that would
be by way of mere BLUM. Lacking the tina
or the permission of circumstances to take
real outing, your friend doggedly sticks
to the city and its deep shadow and keeps
his sickly cloister cast of countenance.
Brown skins are for those who can boat
and swim and golf and motor the hours
away under the sun of July.
Among women, the time has come when
a pallid complexion is a mark of bondage.
Automobling. which in general means lib
erty, impartS rudy warmth to the skin.
So does golf. and does yachting. Stand

several hours after nightfali keeps the
complexion as white and lifeess as chalk
Thus it happens that a deeply tanned skin
has become the sign of wealth and fashion,
while pallor is the badge of servitude in a
woman. What wonder that girls seek any
opportunity to acquire a good. thick coat Of
TAM no matter how great its irrelevancy to
their ordinary occupation may subsequently
appear?
If those who are fortunate enough to be
able to get and keep the out doors hue
are kind and considerable, they will not
mistake their pallid city brothers and sis
ters for their complexion. but will wear
their rudy honors modestly. For them 1t
should be glory enough to possess the tint
of the wild. No one can rob them of their
prestige. 1t is a refinement of cruelty In
them to taunt others with the milky white
ness of captivity.

Is Chewing Gum Beneficialp

From Review Of Reviews.
French scientist. DR.. Leon Meunier
writing in Les Annales on the habit OF gum
chewing. says: "A man must thoroughly
masticate his food IL he aspires to digest
well. Mastfcation is a very iportant physi-
ical function. Three successive digestions
are Indispensable The first takes place in
the mouth: Influenced by the ferment Of
saliva, we begin to digest ANALOGOUS SUBJ
stances, an operation which is continued in
the stomach. . When people who
have hyperchlohydria, the salivary diges-
ton is seriously affected. and the more SO
when nothing Is done to take up the ele-
ments of saliva" DR.. Meunier signals the
utility of exciting the flow oof saliva in hy-
perchlorhydria. and of aruficially produc-
ing secretion Of; salivary ferment.~ He
says: During trip that l made to the
United States in 1904 l was struck by an
empirical treatment which has been enjoyed
by Americans many years to facilitate
stomachic digestion. In all the cities OF
the United States and Canada 1 saw large
numbers of people chewing a substance to
take the place of the vulgar 'Qud of tobac-
CO. That substance is sold everywhere un-
der the name of Chewing gum or 'pepsin
gum / analysed that gum and found
that there was not a trace of pepsin in 1t.
In all cases the gum was an insoluble aro-
matiZed resin. The gum chewers are legion
one man of every two, and one woman of
every three. will tell you that he she
delivers himself or herself so ardently and
with such docile persistence to that exer-
else after every meal in order to facilitate
digestion. Being anxious to know whether
or not the practice of gum chewing is use
full, DIR. Meuner prepared a test gum
made of favored completely insoluble res

character. 1t could be utilized to engender
a digestive saliva devoid of any foreign
substance. Following are the results of his
experiments: When the patient had not
chewed the gum half an hour after the be-
ginning of a repast Chat Is to say, when
the amylatic phase is nearly over. from
five to thirty grams of sugary matter was
found. Under the same conditions. when
the subject had chewed gum, from six to
thirty-eight grams of soluble amylaceous
matter was found. which proves that the
starch digested. estimated either in dex-
trine or in amylaceous soluble matter. is
superior when the digester has chewed
gum. Generally speaking, saliva dlutes
the food in the stomach. and the digestion
Of amylaceous matter gains so per cent
by the action of the gum-or by the action
of chewing the gum. So we may conclude
that gum juice judciously chewed empiri-
cally exercises a real therapeutic action on
the stomachic digestion. 1.-THE Americans
are right: when the salivary function Is
weak. let US chew"

ARTIFICIAL ICE MAKING.
FIVE Million Tons Turned Out Yearly
$50, OOO, 900 in the Business.

From the New York Sun.
Few American trades have grown as
rapidly In recent years as artificial ice max
ing. The conditions of Ice supply and the
number of factories requiring Ice in enor-
nous quantities seem to promise a further
extension of the business. 1t Is limited to
no particular state. but has been most gen.
orally and most largely developed In the
south.
In 1870 there were four artificial ice-mak-
ing plants In the United States. In 1880
there were thirty-five. In 1890 there were
300 In 1900 there were 800. There are now
considerably more than 1000.
The capital invested in them is more than
SJoOO,0oo, and the amount of ice they turn
out In a year is in excess OF 5000. 900 tons.
of which 100000 tons is manufactured In
the southern states.
The original artificial Ice plant established
in the United States was in New Orleans In
1885, and the intention OF its projectors was
declared to be to supply artificial ice in the
territory south of the ice line which Is
south of the north Atlantic, New England.
middle and northwestern states. BY de-
grees ice plants have been established in
the territory supplied with natural ice,
brewerfes. hotels, restaurants, packing
houses and hospitals having refrigerating
plants.

Booms That Need Watching.

From the wall street Journal
It might be in order for the district attor-

booms are running riot to inquire into the
kinds OF offerings, forms of contract and
means OF attracting purchasers There Is
no doubt that a great many building lots
are sold on terms of which the unsophisti-
Gated purchaser Is not fully aware. The
practice, for instance, of buying building
lot and paying down a given sum with a
series of periodical payments to follow.
without any passing of title or any trus-
teeship of payments for the protection Of
the purchaser Is liable to a great deal Of
abuse. There is no lack of victims to this
practice, but very few are willing to con-
fess themselves as victims because of the
fear of trouble They usually swallow
TERED fom the commendable effort to Sc
cure a home of their own.
The swindling real estate concern Is one
of the greatest enemies to the Improvement

and moderate means. Some years ago

pulous or incapable officers who msused
