 Many persons, according the physician do not breathe properly retaining considerable in portons of the lungs.
 As respiration be carried by ot the lower portion of the lungs the air which remains in the cavities undergoes change and develops into soluble poison. This is taken up by blood and carries out it's disastrous work the hair of tue scalp
 Ordinary badness therefore according the doctor is likely due to the absence of chest breathing
 But why does the poison which has been produced by the decomposing air chiefly affect the hair of ths head?

SACRIFICES LIFE; SAVES TOWN.
Brave Engineer Runs Flaming Powder
Train Through Settlement.

Douglas, Ariz.-John Garcia, To-
comotive engineer, saved Nacozari,
Ariz., from destruction by running
a burning powder train through the
town at top speed, but lost his own
life. John Chisholm, boy, and a
dozen or more Mexican section hands
were killed by the explosion of two
cars of powder, just as the flaming
train was passing a section house.
According to details received here,
a powder train on the narrow gauge
railroad of the Pilares mine caught
fire near Nacozari. In the train were
two open cars heavily loaded with ex.
plosives.
Realizing that the concentrator and
a good part of the town of Cacozari
would be destroyed If the powder ex-
ploded there, Engineer Garcia called
to the rest of the crew to jump and
started to run his train away from the
town. He had taken it about half a
mile when the explosion occurred,
blowing the house, the train, the Mex.
leans and the engineer to atoms.

CHURCH BUILDING SETTLES
Report That Structure Is About to
Collapse Causes Mad Rush for
Doors-Parents Unable to
Protect Bodies.

York, Pa.-While several thousand
persons were assembled in and about
the old Quickel church, near Zion's
View, the other day, to listen to the
funeral services over the bodies OF
William and Curvin Hoover, the boys
who were murdered in Pleasureville,
the settling of the building caused a
panic.
Men, women and children were
trampled upon, and about 40 persons
were injured, several seriously.
The panic started during the serv'
ice. A report was circulated that the
building was giving way under the
weight of the crowd within. Shortly
afterward the beams began to crack
and two stoves collapsed. Instantly
women began to shrek and there was
mad rush for the doors.
Rev. Adam Stump and Rev. George
Enders of this city retained their posts
in the pulpit and tried to quiet the
crowd. Their efforts were futile. At
least a score of persons were hurt by
jumping from windows.
The two caskets were overturned:
the bodies rolling out on the floor and
being trampled on
The doors of the little church were
small and the windows were soon
clogged by screaming men and women.
The. men outside tried to drive back
the throngs by shouting that the
church was safe and that everybody
could get out unhurt.
AS soon as those outside realized
what had happened the work of rescue
began. Women who had sustained in
juries and others who had tainted
were carried to the lawn outside. Many
women in their frenzy threw their
children through the windows. Others
who had got separated from the little
ones tried to fight their way back into
the church.
At the rear door a band of men sue
ceeded in checking the stampede.
Physicians were called from near by
towns to attend to the injured.
/. During the panic the grief of the
parents of the murdered boys was
overwhelming. AS soon as the rush
started they threw themselves in front

Unsound Cooperative Concerns.

"Self-preservation is one of the first
laws of nature" wrote some thinker
long ago, and time has failed to prove
it untrue. Yet how many commit in
voluntary suicide by unwisely follow
ing the instructions of some quack
doctor in their efforts to cure them
selves of some ailment? And how
many more bring to themselves finan-
cial ruin by wild speculation in
schemes that they know little about,
prompted by glittering promises of
great returns for little money Lately
numerous alleged cooperative mercan.
tile establishments have sprung up in
large cities and are seeking the sup
port of farmers throughout the coun-
try. Don't take the advice of the

suicide by investing in them and CIV
ing them your patronage instead Of
