PROPER Diet WILL PRODUCE PRETTY HEAD OF HAIR
BY MARION ASHE.

Very few people realize the i'm
pOrtant part diet plays in the care
of the hair. Most women when they
find that their hair is growing dry
and harsh and turning gray, rush
frantically to the hair dresser and
allow themselves to be persuaded
into taking strenuous course in
scalp treatment" and tonicking.
That failing, the dye bottle comes
out and an unsightly mess of dull
brown or black locks is the result.
When, through inattention or
worry, a woman finds that her once
bright, fluffy hair is losing its beau
ty, if she can possibly do so, she
should consult first-class special
list. The physician, finding out the
condition of her mental and physi-
cal health, will prescribe the proper
treatment, especially in the matter
of diet.
Too much washing with borax
watrr means certain ruin to even
the finest heads of hair.
In order to keep the hair clean
and free from dust a thorough
brushing should be given it every
nj st and before going to bed il
should be loosely braided

A SOUTHERN BISHOP ON NEGRO PROBLEM

sions, that are guilty of such crimes
and provoke such excitement and
punishment.
AS to separation of the races,
general sentiment here demands it
in schools, public resorts and con-
veyances. Otherwise the races get
along very we'll together. believe
there is little or NO desire for So
cial equality-in fact, although all
men are said to be born free and
equal, there is practically very lit
tie of this equality either among
the whites or blacks Each race
divides itself into several degrees
of social standing.
1t is generally conceded that the
negro finds his best friends in the
southern people, among whom he
has been born and raised. The
young generation, however, in
fluenced by false notions of indie
pendence, is drifting away from the
old moorings. Our towns are full
of idle, thriftless, saucy young ne
groes, who shirk work and live-I
don't know how-many declare on
the basketfuls of food which the
negro women carry home from
their employers. If so, the abolish
ing of the servant basket would be
a remedy and a blessing.

BY THE RT. REV. THOS. HESlIN
Bishop of Natchez, Miss.

BlSnOp OF NatcheZ, MISS.
In answer to questions as to the
relations between whites and ne
groes, and what remedies | would
suggest to prevent or cure the dis
orders arising from the violation Of
these relations, l beg to say:
| believe many notrehrn writer's
and speakers are responsible for
these troubles; for if they only
scored the brutal authors of out
RACES as fiercely as they do the
publishers there would be less of
both. Negroes are never lynched
unless an outrage has been per-
petrated; and unfortunately in the
public excitement sometimes the
wrong party suffers. Let the out
rage not be committed and there
will be no lynching.
The great body of the blacks are
quiet, harmless and tractable; it
is only few desperadoes among
them that cause the trouble. Let
their so-called friends, but real en-
emies, in the north say and write
nothing to encourage them, or at
least to make them think they will
escape punishment, and l believe
there will be less, if any, of these
horrible outrages.
Those people have a false or
greatly exaggerated or distorted
idea of the native habits and con-
ditiOn of the negroes; let them
come and live among them for a
while and they will change or modi-
fly their opinion.
Again, believe the punishment
ought to be left to the officers of
the law, and the law ought to be
executed promptly and impartially.
Lynching is savage and barbarous,
especially when it assumes the in
human and sickening form of burn
ing at the stake. The remedy is
worse than the disease. AS it
hardly ever, if ever, happens that
a Catholic negro is involved in
these outrages, l believe the best
remedy of all would be to bring the
negro under the rule and infunce
of the Catholic church. 1t is only
those unfortunates who have no
idea, or only a false idea of true
selves be swayed by animal pas

This is the word sent back from

Mr.. Griffith is one of the few
wealthy men incarcerated in the
penitentiary.
When he was taken to San Quen-
tin, April 4, 1905, to serve a term
of two years, his property was esti-
mated to be worth about million.
1t has almost doubled in value.

Griffith acquired a large portion
of his wealth from his wife, and
they frequently quarreled over

At the time of his commitment to

He has never made a request for
special consideration or attention.
He has observed every prison rule

morning while trying to cross be-
tween cars on the Northern Pa
citic track at Post street. The
switch engine attached to the cars
pulled up while GirtOn was between

again and Girton was held there in
agony until the cars were moved
sufficiently to release him. He was
taken to Sacred Heart hospital,
where it was thought amputation
might be found necessary. Coroner

PARIS, Oct. 16.-The astronc N
ers of France have been living in a
state of terrible ecitement during
the last two weeks, and all be-
cause of the wireless telegraphy.
There are in this city a number
of wireless telegraph stations, the
most prominent of these being at
the top of Eiffel tower, and every
night for some time the receivers
in this station have recorded a
mysterious message consisting Of
three dots, no more and no less.
The messages have been received

communicate with the earth, every
astronomer in France has been
busy watching the planet through
his telescope.
AS it will be remembered, the
first wireless message flashed
across the Atlantic ocean by Sig
nor Marconi consisted of three
dots, which in the Morse alphabet
indicates the letter 49," and why
should not the Martians have had
the same idea?

Office operations have got him into

to the police that they had been
sent by Macho to places where
there was no work for them. and
that Macho refused IN each case to
return the fees.
From the nature and frequency
OF these reports Chief Of Police
Waller announced that he would
advise the council to revoke
Macho's license. Other employ
ment agents were interested in the
move, claiming that Macho's
methods hurt the business Here

License" The article contains one
or two statements that are untrue,
and we ask the favor of a little
space in your paper in order that
we may set the public and our pa
irons right in the matter. Your
paper stated that IL Austrlans
complained to the police that they
had been engaged by us to go TO
Saltese, Mont. Their complaint is
untrue. We engaged them to go
TO oxon, Mont, showed them its To-
cation on the map and stamped the
name "Noxon" on the ticket which
we gave to them and on the stub
which is still in our possession.
Your paper also states that these
Austrians claimed that Macho
sent them to Noxon, Mont. hun
dred miles from where they want
ed to 60" The fact is, these men
never left Spokane. We were will
ing to ship them to Noxon, had
procured free passes for them,
taken them to the depot and check
ed their baggage, when they met
several other Austrians who were
going to Saltese, Mont. They then
went to Mr.. Moods, n. P. depot
ticket agent, and asked what the
fare was from Noxon to Saltese
Being told that they could not go
from NoxOn TO Saltese without
comm. back TO Spokane they re-
turned to our Office and demanded
their office fee back, which was re-
fused.
We told these men that We
would send them where we agreed
to, and furthermore W now are
ready and willing to send these
same men and $50 other laborers to
Noxon, Mont. and guarantee them
work there, as we have on file in
our Office letters from Guthrie &
Twohy Bros, contractors, request
ing us to send them 200 laborers on
work which they have there.
Their statement then that there
were no railroad jobs for them at
Noxon is contrary to the facts.
There were railroad jobs for them
there then and there are railroad
jobs for them there now. Our

A BEAUTIFUL PARK.

That this city will soon be one of
the most beautiful in the country is
now certain. The first important step
in this direction has been taken by
Mr.. Bulge. who will soon place on
sale residence lots in the beautiful
addition which he has made to the city.
The tract includes eighty acres and
lies on University and Dakota avenues
west of Brown street.
1t is. however. with the general plan
that we are interested.
The residence lots are ninety-four
by two hundred feet. and it is UNDER
stood that there will be a clause in
the, deeds regulating the distance the
houses shall be built from the street,
SO that there will be abundant front
yard.
The streets will be one hundred
sixty-two feet wide. but in the center
will be a park and flower garden sixty
feet wide.
Approximately two blocks north
ward from University avenue will be
converted into park and much of
the tree planting has already been
done.
The general plan is to get just as
many trees into the area as possible,
