Vasellne as a Halr Grower.

Plain vaseline, the yellow product,
rubbed into the scalp nightly or sew
eral times a week will prevent your
hair from coming out and also induce
a new growth. 1t is not a new rem
edy, but the petroleum has a wonder
full effect on the growth Of the hair.
Many Of the Irish girls who come to
this country with such fine heads of
hair owe the growth to kerosene, which
is a favorite remedy for strengthening
the hair follicles in Ireland. But as
that is unpleasant to use, the ~vaseline
comes next in order, possessing much
the same properties.

a Capital Hint.

Put a pinch of powdered borax in
the water in which you wash your
lettuce. and allow the latter to steep
for half to three-quarters of an hour
in this solution; then either shake
them free of moisture in the salad
basket or break up the lettuces, and
after well rinsing them, wipe each in
dividual leaf clean. Sailed water
softens and willis the leaves; but
borax, while freeing them from ex.
traneous matter, leaves them quite
crisp and fresh.

Before You Go

When about to travel, if subject to headache, nervous ness, dizziness, or car-sickness, take one or two doses of Dr. Miles Anti-Pain Pills before starting. They will in- sure you against an attack.
 There are great many who are sure to have headache, whenever they go to church or places of amusement, or where there is any excitement or op- pressior. Take them with you, and on the first indica- ton, take a tablet and see how quickly it will disappear. To such persons Dr. Miles Anti Pain Pills are a great blessing. They soothe the nerves and al1ay irritation and excitement. We always keep pr. Niles Anti-Pain Pills in our home, and find them a, remarkable remedy. for the relief of headaches, nervousness, etc. Two tablets never fail to stop the most severe headache, but one is usually sufficient. By, taking, Pain Pill before going out to places of amusement. we find we do not have those distressing headaches that for merly come with every little excite ment."

ADDING FINISHING TOUCHES.
Scaling Crews Clearing Cuts LeveIing Track and Otherwise PerfeCting
 White River Road Bed.

With the completion of the
 White River line two weeks ago,
 says the Cotter Courier, many
 men were released from con-
 struction at the front, and have
 since been divided into smaller crews under foremen and put to
 work widening cuts all along the road from Batesville to Au- rora. Every rock and boulder that is likely at any time to give the road trouble or make the track in the least dangerous is being removed. Where there is a possibility of dirt sliding onto the rails it is being taken away. All the little crooks, kinks and low places in the track are being trued, loose ties tamped and ev- cry other little detail that goes to make high grade road are be- ing given careful attention.
 At the great Omaha tunnel steam shovel is cutting out and widening the approaches. At this place the sliding dirt has given the company trouble from the very start until the present time. The ground at 10th ap- breaches is of a peculiar forma- tion, a loose gravely dirt, wet and crumbly. It continually creeps down to the road bed the full height of the cut and if not constantly watched will pile up and cover the track. The ap- breaches are now being widened and the sides will be given a slant so gentle that the trouble will be overcome.
 A crew of men is now gather ing up all the scrap iron, tim bers, rails and material scatter ed all along the road and storing it here in the yard. There is a great deal of this stuff, much of it worthless and some of it use- ful in making repairs.
 Another crew is putting in small culverts, cattle guards, crossings and the like. Building crews are putting up depots, section houses, tanks and other structures between Cotter and Carthage.
 At Cotter work is going on in the yards. Engineer Swart this week put on another gang of Austrians and is rapidly enclos- ing the large roundhouse. The further along this work gets the larger the building looks, and it now covers over two acres of ground, exclusive of the turn table. A temporary turntable was put in this week for immedi- ate use. This was made neces- sary because the "" must be torn up to make room for the east wing of the roundhouse. The concrete foundation for the tank is now complete and the tank will be put up within a few days. As soon as it is in, the eight tubs now doing duty as tank, will be taken out of the way.
 In three months all work along the line will be finished, with the exception of the yards and depot at Cotter, and the big Oregon Flat cut. and possibly a few fills along the road north of Galena.
