SCIENCE PREVENTS Badness
The Fatal Germ and Its Remedy Noa
Facts of Science,

1t is the rarest thing in the world
for man to be necessarily bald NJ
man whose hair is not dead at the
roots, need be bald if he will use New
bros Herpicide, the new scalp anti
septic. Herpicide destroys the germ
that cuts the hair off at the root; and
cleans the scalp of dandruff and
leaves it in a perfectly healthy condi-
ton. Mr.. Mannett, in the Maryland
block, Butte, Mont. was entirely bald.
In less than month Herpicide had re-
moved the enemies of hair growth.
and nature did its work by covering
hTs head with thick hair an inch long
and in six weeks he had a normal sui,
of hair. Sold by leading druggists

g. eat educated seals and sea lions,
which have been engaged to appear
here the entire week at great expense,
while the other numbers are those pre-
scented by the Fernando May Duo, Eu-
ropean novelty musical act; Henry
Boetting, the famous magician, and
Wheaton and LeRay blackface comedi-
ans. Wheaton and LeRay open the
show, and a funnier line of blackface
talk has never been heard. Both pos
sess good voices and sing several catchy
songs. Henry Boetting, the magician,
has several mystifying tricks which he
presents to the amazement and curiosi-
ty of his audience. The Fernando May
Duo, heralded as novelty musical art
lists, are true to their title. Beautiful
selections of classical compositions are
played on the violin, but the novelty of
the act lies in the fact that Fernando
is able to create more music out of any
old thing than any other musician. An
old barrel and an old tin can and piece
of string produces music of rare tone.
In Bilycks trained seals and sea lions,
which have been featured in all of the
large houses in the east, the Family is
presenting one of the strongest acts in
vaudeville. Among the best tricks are
those of Juggling and the playing of in
struments. The illustrated song and
moving pictures are good.

Many Blouse pesians.

As long as coat suits are worn the blouse will be fashionable in one form or another.
 This season there are two distinct styles-the tailored and the more elaborate. Both are decidedly fem mine, however, even the tailored waist having It's severity relieved by plaited rufiies down the front. There is not so much novelty in the tailored blouses. and yet shirt waist more than any other article of apparel looks hopelessly passe when left over from last season.

 The long shoulder will be the most noticeable change this season on bod ices of all kinds.

pImi,ies Ever Popular.

My spriggsd dimity." said the belle of '7s to her tirewoman. when she wanted to wear her daintiest frock. For a hundred years and more the dimities have been summer aristo- crats-cool, fine. silky in texture. and with patterns unmatched for disunc- ton and daintiness. The weave never has changed. 1t always has been the perfection of best Irish work; but now tha makers have copied delicate French floral patterns. striped effects. and smart dots. This years patterns cover a variety of styles never before seen in dimities The cool dark blues and soft Dutch blues are specially ap- preciated. and the lighter effects seem more bewftching than ever No mat ter what the color or printed pattern. the little cord should run up and down and across the fabric in a score of pretty wsys-the dimity hallmark of distinction

The reporters who have been doing duty at the capitol for six months re- ceived a black eye this week when the senate committee reported against the giving Of gratuities. The house killed 1t at the last session and it looks HOW as thouhg this form of giving presents to newspaper men is at an end. If it is, those of us who do not nave a spec ial representative at Hartford will probably get better and lengthier re- ports from the Associated Press, as that association will have the field more to itself, for if the $500 IS not coming, some of those who do the work now, will no doubt be missing at the next session. At the hearing Ii was said that in years gone by represen- tatives of Hartford's two oldest papers always took the money from the state, but even this had no in fiuence with the committee, and the adverse report followed. It will be a good thing for all concerned if the matter is settled now for all time, for it is one of the things that is put up to the legislators early and late by the hustling reporters who think they are overworked

The trip of the battleship squadron from the Atlantic to the Pacific seems likely to be the excuse for more ex- penditures on behalf of the navy. says a Washington writer. Of course. nc one begrudges the navy all reasonable facilities. and it is a gocd thing for inc country to be fully prepared for emergencies at all points But this thing of having two cUast lines. each as long as the average continent to provide for. promises to be an exp-n- sive business The eouPaint is now
 made that when the sattleship squad ron Is transferred to the Paeihe coast there will not be enough docking faeii- IfSes for t on the western edge of the country.

inadequate. and the navy department is making plans for additional docks on the Pacific coast to add another item of largeexpenditure to the nexr naval appropriation bill. A curious instance of the economy with which expenditures of this sort have been made in the past is shown in conncc- tion with the Mare Island dock. This has been under construction for six years, and has been taken ont of the hands of the original contractors be- cause they were too slow with the work. It IS approaching completion now, and is very fine dock, bur 1t ap- pears that it has been located so far from deep water that the larger yes- selS cannot get at it. Therefore, there will either have to be another dock built or an expensive channel dredg- ed to open up the way to the exist ing dock. One might think that this feature of the situation would have been discovered some time within the last six years. But apparently it has just come to light. Truly it is Q glorious u ing to have big navy ade- quately prepared for war, and ( nightly expensive thing as well.

The next national campaign is a good year away. but Tammany hall, New York's great democratic Organi- zation proposes to get m the field early. At a meeting of the braves Tuesday night Bourke Cochran was the orator of the evening. and among a number of resolutions that received the approval of the meeting was the following "A corporation engaged in interstate commerce should include the president of the United Saes with it's board of directors; a corporation oper- ating within a state the governor: those operating in narrower limits the chief executive officer of the locality; each with the right to attend the ses- sion of eevry board by himself. or by any other persons be may chose to designate. It should be not merely the right of government to inquire through appropriate officials how the fran chises are administered, hut it should be equally it's duty to keep constantly informed of everything concerning their operations, as it is now to keep informed of how the mail service is conducted throughout ht country. how the different departments arO admIais- tered in each state. how streets gre cleaned and lighted in every city. h. yestigations of corporate management would not be sporadic or capricious. frequently sources of disorder ana corruption. but publicity would 'e con- tinuOus. orderly. complete and cIec- tive. The people being kept informed of everything affecting the operations of these corporations would enjoy the kind of service they insist upon receiving \ Hartford paper say s that the resolutions were read to President Roosevelt before being pres entcd to the Tammany meeting. Nothing like having the good will of the president in such matters.

 It is said that Governor Hughes's next move will be against race track gambling in New York state and es- pecially in Kings county. Hereto fore the gamblers have laughed at all attempts to stop the betting, which has been conducted openly; but with so formidable a foe as Hughes they may yet be forced to take the mat ter seriously. The sentiment of the state is probably with the governor and against gambling.-Ansonia Sem tinel.

ALWAYS TRUST THE GIRLS.
stenographers VIII spurn Bribes
 Rather Than Betray Secrets.


 Not long ago a Kansas City Istenog- rapher learned that the railroad for which she was working had deter mined to extend its line. She had a friend living in the town through which the line was to run. A let ter to him, with her savings, would have enabled him to buy at a low price the land the road needed. and the peculiar nature of the ground in that neighborhood would have en- abled him to sell at great profit. She did not consider the thing more than minute. and then decided that it would be a dishonorable thing to do. Another stenographer in large real estate office became aware of a deal in which s150.000 was involved. Certain information she possessed would be worth thousands to the other parties. They made a few advances and hinted at rewards as high as s5,000 for her betrayal of her firm. She indignantly refused, and told her employers of the scheme: Another stenographer was offered s1,000 for copies of three letters which she had written. lawsuit in which her em- ployers were involved might have gone against them had the opposing party been able to secure the in- formation contained in the three let ters. The lawyer for the other side laid ten s100 bills on her mothers table and told her they were hers for the permission to read the letters. The girl scorned the offer.

There does not exist today a nation more hooligan in its attitude towards science than the British.

there are three large buttons similar in design to those on the vest. The sides of the coat skirt and the upper sides of the sleeves are slashed, the former to the hips, and the latter nearly to the top, and embroidery like that of the vest inserted. The two edges are then strapped across with loops of narrow blue soutache. with tiny buttons fixing them.
