President Roosevelt has, In no un-

he will not seek nor accept renom-
nation for the presidency. He adj
heres to his original declaration and
those who still insist on his nominal
ton place too low an estimate on
the character OF the man. He is sim

The reform ideas of the two men are
SO closely interviewer and run sc
nearly along the same channels that
Bryan becomes the logical candidate
of the democrats and hundreds of
thousands OF Roosevelt republicans

lines, which have been growing

Advantaae Of White Hair.

Most people regard white hair as a
misfortune" said a hairdresser. "They
mourn over its coming as a sign of
vanished youth, and they try first one
thing and then another to withstand
this touch of time. think they make
mistake. Paradoxical as 1t may
sound, white hair. when it arrives, say,
in the late twenties or early thirties,
really helps in keeping a person young.
It's true, anyhow. A. man or woman
whose hair turns white before the
wrinkles arrive is Il subject for con-
graduation, because for many years
he or she will appear about the same,
and If only proper care is taken of the
complexion the impression of youthful
ness will continue-I was almost going
to say indefinitely. Then, white hair
is more often than not extremely be-
coming. 1t relieves heavy face and
gives an added tone to the most spir-
ituelle one, People don't realize this;
that's all. If they did. they would be
content to let nature take its course"

Will STUDY IMMIGRATION ABROAD

from which emigrants come to the

q large body of diplomatic and con-
sular agents it is expected that the
commission will get at essential facts:
concerning the character of the people
and will see them at the ports at
which they embark and will learn
all about the Influences that cause
them to leave their homes.
The work of the commission win be
fairly begun, when its members re-
turn to America. Then will come ex-
tensive inquiries concerning what be-
comes of the emigrants after they
reach the Nnited States. The COM
mission will seek records from all
public institutions to ascertain what
proportion of the inmates is foreign
or of foreign parentage, in order to
in some. measure ascertain how 1t
measures up in general citizenship
with the native Americans and Amer
leans Of native parentage.
The commission will report it's find
ings and recommendations to Congress
and they will be used as basis for
Legislation on the question. It is re.
garded as likely that out Of the work
of the commission on the ?axif G,I
of the commission will grow an In
ternational conference to deal with
the whole general subject The law
creating the commission authorizes
the President to issue call for such
a conference if he should deem such
