NEED GREAT CARE
TO KEEP BRUSHES AND COMBS
IN CONDITION.
HeaIthfulness Of the Hair and Scalp
Depends on This--Many varie.
ties from Which 10 Make
a Choice.

Extreme care should be taken In the
selection of hair brushes and of combs,
not from desire for cleanliness alone,
but in order that the hair and scalp
may be kept in proper condition by
immaculate brushes of the proper kind.
1t is wise to keep several brushes Of
different lengths and stiffness, as well
as thickness of bristle--by thickness
is meant the number of bristles to the
halfinch of back.
Among stiff brushes Is one cheap in
In rubber back, the whole of course
being set in wood. This variety is
made In different sizes and lengths Of
bristles-in some two bristles are set
In single opening, while others have
only one bristle In an opening The
bristles are also quite distance apart,
making this brush especially desirable
in Strengthening out tangled hair with.
out tearing 1t, and also penetrating
thick hair and reaching the scalp.
The rubber back into which the
bristles are set being flexible, it moves
with the bristles, and while they are
held straight up and down they are
flexible and go through the hair with.
out the stiff, unpleasant feeling of
bristles in still frames. They are
properly cleaned by dipping the
bristles in a weak solution of mild
soap and water and allowing them to
drain with the bristles down on a
bath towel
1t is best to have two of these
brushes, and they can be used to brush
and cleans each other AS most peo-
pie know, all brushes may have the
dust beaten out of them by striking
then gently, bristles down, on a hard
surface properly protected. All
brushes should, however, no matter
how carefully brushed and shaken, be
cleansed at least twice a week with
soap and water, and once month
several drops Of ammonia should be
added to the water.
For use in putting the finishing
touches on the hair in the process Of
making up ones couture, or in smooth.
ing 1t after 1t Is completed, a small
brush with softer bristles close together
is better. The so-called comb brush
is excellent for this The small comb
brush is not wider than an ordinary
comb. not over an inch and a quarter
wide. is pointed at the end, and is
most convenient in dressing the hair.
Combs, like brushes, vary. For
thick hair the large toothed combs
with wide spaces between the teeth
are the best, while for thin hair a me-
dunn comb is better. Fine-toothed
combs should never be used. They
have sharp points and injure IL they
do not actually scratch or cut the
scalp. The old-time fine tooth comb
has almost disappeared save in coun-
try towns. All combs should have
blunt teeth. and their only proper use
Is to straighten the hair and in build
Ing the couture. II the scalp is to be
operated on, ones finger tips or a
brush should be used.
The material of combs varies &C.
cording to ones fancy, but for prac.
ucal use combs should be selected that
may be washed as often as the brushes
and In the same manner.

MEDICINES THAT ARE HARMFUL.

Just one year from the time the
medicine was lost 1t showed up again
at the drug store. A woman brought
II in.
This bottle was left at our house
by mistake" she said.
The clerk read the name on the
wrapper and the date on the label
then he called to man who sat lean

his head propped up in his hands.
Captain" he said, here is that
medicine we had such time about

woman, why you didn't bring It back
sooner"
II didn't think of It," she explained.
THE maid took II in one day when we
were all out. She thought 1t belonged
to somebody in our house. 1t has lain
around there in cupboard all this
while. 1t never occurred to us to re-
turn 1t until just this morning, and
then 1t struck me you might be able
to use IT,"
The man by the counter lifted his
head out of his hands.
Use it?" he said. "Of course we
can. l had the grip last year when
1t was put up and I've got the grip
now. / can take that medicine as well
as new bottle full"
No, you can't" said the clerk.
Some druggists might permit you to,
but we won't. 1t might upset you for
month. Some medicines never lose
their healing power, while others not

the man who swallows a dose of the

medicines that are quite sweet keep
their curative virtues longer than
those that are acid or bitter. Most
any medicine can be taken in safety

many will be all right six years hence.
Those that are not good generally take

Skill and Courage Of Ocean Liners
Chief In Bringing Rudderiess
Steamer Across Atlantic

North German Lloyd line, who has
been decorated with the Third Order
of the Crown by Emperor William of
Germany, in recognition OF the skill
and courage displayed by him in TAX.
ing the rudderless Kaiser Wilhelm
der Crosse safely across the Atlantic,
is one of the youngest officers in the
company's service.
The decoration recently conferred
on him is the second he has received
from the German emperor. He was
given that of-the Red Eagle in recog.
milton OF his personal bravery in rescu.
ing from drowning four members Of
boats crew of which he was In
command when on the way to save
the crew Of sinking ship. For this
act Capt. Polack received the much
priced life saving medal of the Royal
Humane society, and was also given a
decoration by the late Queen Victoria.
Capt. Polack is a man of more than
six feet in height, with almost SUI
perhuman strength and an excellent
swimmer. One by one he picked up
his men, who were struggling in the
water, and carried them to the cap
sized boat. There he left each man to
hang on while he went after another.
He kept up the rescue work until he
had picked up four of the crew. The
fifth man was not seen after the boat
capsized. and 1t was supposed that he
was stunned by the boat as 1t turned
turtle.
Capt. Polack was promoted to his
present position in the North German
Lloyd service in 1900. It was on his
second round trip in command of the
Kaiser Wilhelm der Crosse that the
accident happened, which has resulted
in laying up the big transatlantic
liner for four months.

Medicines EARNINGS.

Medical science makes temporarily
claim upon the gratitude of the race.
In London, New York and Chicago the
profession announces that recent prog
ress in the cure and prevention of dis
ease has gone far enough to diminish
distinctly the incomes of practicing
physicians. If this true, It is a
magnificent message of service to hu.
manity. Without asking for further
proof 1t may be accepted as true. SAM
tation, the conquest of infant diseases,
the lowering of typhoid percentages,
aseptic surgery, the acquaintance with
food values, the development of a
scientific nursing and the control of
germ enemies are achievements
known to everybody. Medical practice
has simplified itself at its own pc.
cuniary cost, while 1t has never
faltered in promoting the 'investiga-
tons which result in the diminution
of its earnings. To medical science
and practice we can bow with respect
and gratefulness. The labor has been
incessant, their intelligence lavishly
applied, and the collective reward is a
reduction of income Their title to
the name of benefactors should at
least have hearty recognition Phlla.

COMING WEST.
Shoe Industry Gradually Leaving
Eastern Coast.

Massachusetts, and Connecticut are
generally thought OF as the big shoe
manufacturing states, but, as the great
west has become more densely popu-
lated. these states are slowly losing
prestige.
Wisconsin, for instance, has the
largest manufacturer OF full vamp
shoes In the world-The F. Mayor
Boot & Shoe Co. of Milwaukee. The
market for this companys product Is
the great west from the Mississippi
to the Pacific. Undoubtedly 1t Is MIL
waukee's nearness to this great west
market which Is responsible for the
great growth of this concern which
has been in proportion to the growth
of the west. In the last rs years they
have outgrown six factories. Mclud.
ing the new Seattle factory nearly
completed and the Milwaukee factory
annex built this last year the total
capacity Of the Mayer Boot q Shoe
Company exceeds 1900 pairs per day,
which already has been inadequate to
meet the demand of the west.

odor is lost, In which all odors come
