 All combs with finely pointed teeth have tendency to scratch the scalp They promote dandruff. Many persons try to overcome dandruff by the use oi such combs. The remedy makes the disorder worse. All combs should have coarse teeth, nicely rounded and with blunt ends. It Is worth while getting the best comb. for a comb when prop erly used-that is, used for long time daily and brought right down upon the scalp-promotes nutrition of the hair. If one directs the teeth downward, they catch In the first obstruction, and a struggle ensues, with the result that one loses hair. Study the acton of a groom who knows his work when combing a horses mane.
 At the first the teeth are directed slightly upward. The comb is drawn down rapidly again and again. each stroke gently loosening tangies and let ting obstinate tangles go. In a few minutes he sets the comb at right an- gles, and only toward the end does he turn the teeth downward.

Cleveland PIain Dealer.
 The Frnech courts, not powerfully swayed by motives of sympathy. have decreed that Elliott P. Shepard. Jr.. the young American automobilist who killed a girl. must really and truly go to jail The utmost concession that earnest entreaties and even diplomatic representations could secure was a re- duction of the sentence from three months to six weeks. The French have laid down a rule that any automobile driver who takes human life as a re- suit of fast or careless driving cannot escape with the payment of a fine. It is quite probable thal Gne inflexible en- forcement of the prison penalty will have a beneficial effect. The prospect of actual incarceration will take a greater hold upon the minds of reck- less drivers than the apprehension of the merely theoretical chastisement of A fine.

Solicitor J. F. Thompson
 Gives the Facts.

 Committee and Succeeded in
 Having the Measure Emas- calafed.

Centerville. July -fSpecial.)- )-- The most surprising, the msot auda- cious statement aver made by public man from a speakers platform in Ala bama." This was the characterization by Solicitor J. F. Thompson of that re- markable statement of Candidate . B.. Conner that he had never opposed any child legislation before the Leg islature of Alabama and that any man who said that he had done so was guilty of a libel. tT was astonished, I might say as- founded, at that statement in the Sell ma Joint discussion by Mir. Comer.' -aid Mir Thompson For know that MT. Conner did lobby against child ia- knowledge. don't have to take the word of Edgar Gardner Murphy. I don't have to take the word of any man. I know it. I saw him there
 T wonder what the other 104 mem bers of the last Legislature thought when they saw that statement They must have been no less surprised than was. For they knew Mir. Conner was there. They knew he was lobbying against child labor Legislation They saw him there. Many of them heard him talk If I was called upon to prove that Mir Conner was at the Capi- toI lobbying against any child labor legislation I would only have tn call the members of the last House and the last Senate as witnesses"
 ''But MT, Conner may say that he did not oppose the present act against child labor?" It was pointed out to MT. Thompson.
 ''Of course he didn't oppose the pres ent act.'' replied Mir Thompson. Tt was exactly the sort of law he want ed. It didn't stop any of the evils. As many children are working in the mills under the present law as ever worked in them before. There Is no way of enforcing the present so-cailed child labor law. It is a farce and noth- ing else It has stopped nothing and Mir Conner knew it would stop nothing
