WEARING A WIG.
A Help to the Health of Those With
Bald Heads.

A Help to the Health OF THOSE WIN
Bald Heads.
Al smiLsnt Amesic2H who While IN
Paris consulted a tainUuo physician or
hat city to ascertain if there was any
remedy for badness was told by the
doctor that the best thing to do was to
wear a tOupea o." wig. The American
said that he always regarded the wear
ing of a wig as an evidence of q mans
vanity. bat he was quite surprised
when the French physician replied:
"YOu are quite mistaken. The wearing
of a wig is regarded by those who have
carefully studied the subject of health
as q benoficent safeguard. A man who
from any cause has lost a good part OF
his hair usually loses it some time aft
er middle life, when his vitality begins
to ebb. You must bear in mind that the
scalp is filed with myriads Of blOod
vessels, and when 1t is exposed with
out the covering that nature
to give 1t a man is apt to suffer from
sudden and acute attacks of cold, ca
tarrh and influenza. | have often pre-
scribed the wearing of q toupee or wig
to a patient who has come to me com
planning Of his susceptibility to colds,
and in nine cases out of ten after the
wig has been worn the susceptibility
has ceased at once. Many cases OF
deafness / have traced to colds con.
stantly recurring in those who ave
lost their hair and who have provided
no substitute for natures covering
Some cases of chronic sore throat are
.taceable to the same cause. In some
instances patients suffering from tn
berculosis of the lungs in the early
stages have found decided protection
from colds by wearing a wig. Those
who need to wear a wig n will no
do so must be regarded as victims o.
vanity rather than those who, accept
ing the inevitable, make b best o.
their misfortune, for l regard badness
as nothing less than a misfortune II

RESIGNATION of DR.. Battle.

Every University man III NOrtn Gar
DINA, as we'll as thoUIandS of others
who are interested a the institution,
learned with most siEcors regret OF the
decision of DR.. KemI P. Battle to
retire as alumni professor OF history
at the University after this session.
To mention the name OF DR.. Kemp T.
Battle for the past third OF a century
has caused one to think Of the Univer-
sity of North Carolina, for there has
been no one man so closely connect
ed with the institution since the civil
war. DR.. Battle, We are glad to know,
will be allowed an annuity of $1,000
per year from the Carnegie fund.
Not only has DR.. Battle taken a
prominent part in educational affairs
in this state, but for many years he
was active in politics, and for two
terms Immediately after the war was
state treasurer.
In 1875 the University Of North Car
DINA, which had been closed since
soon after the war, was taken over by
the state and re-opened. The days look
/ ed dark for the institution and the
| first year there Were only 16 students.
The following ear H.. Battle waa
elected president and remained at the
| head until 1891, when Re resigned ana
was at once elected alumni professor
Of history. Although 5 years of age,
DIR. Battle is capable of much hard
work. and it is a rare thing for him
| to miss a day from his class room.
In the resignation Of DR.. BATH
there is one thing for g~ratifcation,
and hat is, he announces mat he ex-
poets to complete his history OF the
University and also intends writing
a history of North Carolina. There is
no man living wh0 Knows more about
North Carolina has no comprehensive
tie, and otherwise no one is better ut
,te1 to write a history of the state.
Norh Carolina has no comprehensive
history, and we sincerely hope thar
he will do this work.-Raleigh Times.

Several Of the local dealers said they
were not aware of the trouble because
their shipments were received by boat
and 50 they had received no notices
and were not affected.
The dealer first mentioned who is af-
fected by the action Of the roads states
that the refusal to ship has been in
effect since the early part of October.
The statement was made by an offic-
ial Of the New Haven road last even
ing that the railroads shipping coal to
the local roads had not taken the ac-
ton claimed and that so far at least
there had been no refusal to ship coal
over the New Haven lines on account
of demurrage troubles.
The serious bearing of the trouble Is
shown by the statement of one of the
local wholesale dealers last evening.
He stated that If there had been a cold
snap the past few weeks the interior
towns would have suffered severely as
the local wholesale dealers could not
supply them. He said that his firm
had orders four weeks ahead on its
boats. While the tidewater towns
would protect themselves by their wa
ter shipments the interior towns would
be put into way Of suffering for
| lack of coal.

handicapping the capable few.
They go to the ballot box proudly
thinking that they are individual
American sovereigns. They speak of
the sacred character of the protective
tariff, and they know not why, They
are the victims of prejudice and tradi-
ton. Why not overcome this and let
the capable people rule?
The democrats admit that they may
be intellecutla disappointments; they
may be cheated by fallacies. But they
say, whether we wish to or not, in the
end we must depend on the people,
the victims and the carriers of civil
cation.
The trouble is, it seems to me, that
the democrats and the cynics are
looking at the matter from two wrong
points of view. I think DEMOCRACY
can succeed. 1t is the people, the
many, who must determine the things
to be done, and the capable few to
determine the means to be employed
to do them. The people must decide
whether or not we shall have large
navy, and the few must decide how it
shall be built.
! In this country we have too much
contempt for expert opinion, That Il
fessors are believed only reasonably
sane. Ambassador Bryce and other for
| eigners have noticed this.
The view of the aristocrat Is al
| right so far as 1t goes 1t is danger
J Gus for democracy to try to discour,
lit is not right that the capable few
| should be in entire clarke.
The Difference between monarchy and
democracy Is the difference between the
fine vessel and a raft. The vessel flies
through the water rapidly and presents
a handsome appearance, but Is liable to
strike rocks and sink. The raft goes
along slowly and those who are aboard

cold facts OF life, Those who have lost

member that they once believed in ar
impossible democracy.

Rome, Nov. 20.--The Osservatore
Romano, the organ of the vatican, has
published a statement from the pope
in which it is set forth that all de-
cisions, past or future, reached by the
Biblical commission in the matter Of
the Interpretation Of the last SYLLABUS
and the encyclical against modernism
in the faith shall have the same bind
ing effect upon the conscience as have
the degrees issued by the congrega-
tons. The statement reiterates the
terms of the previous encycncal
against modernism and says that the
penalty of accommodation shall be
visited upon those who contradict or
oppose. either the syllabus or the en-
cycical.
Furthermore, in provides certain
penalties to be inflicted upon those
who propagate or defend heretical
doctrines as described in the syllabus
and the encyclical, and it insists upon
the utmost vigilance on the part Of
the episcopacy against any and all
books showing modernist procliwtieo.

In the morning thee was a discussion
as to the relation of the foundation to
state universities, 1t was the contention
of DR.. Pritchett that professors of the
state universities should not receive
the pensions, He said he believed thai
the state should make provision for it
because, if the foundation pensionet
them, it would establish a preceden
that would relieve the state Of the re
sponsibility.
The following committee of presi-
dents of state universities attended
the session: c. r. Van Hise, Wiscon-
sin; G. E. Fellows, Maine, and VIII
liam D. Thompson, Ohio. They con-
tended that they had no control over
the action Of the legislature and that
even if unable to get state aid, theil
professors should not suffer.
According to their statistics, the
leverage pay of college professor, in
cluding the president, is $500 year
