DEMOCRATS GAIN TEN.
New National House Will Stand 219
to 172.

Washington. Nov. 16.-The tenn
porary roll call of the house of
representatives for the Sixty-hrst
congress has been completed and
published. 1t represents a complete
list of the members of the new house
as shown by unofficial returns, and
gives the politics of all of them. Ac-
cording to this, the next house will
consist of 219 Republicans and 172
Democrats. a total of 39I, as against
a total of $50 in the house during the
last session of whom 223 were Re
pubHcans and 166 Democrats. The
result is a net loss of four from the
Republican side and a net gain of six
crepancy being due to present
vacancies. All told the Democrats
gained II districts and the Re
publicans twelve.
The most marked advance made by
the Dem ocrats was in Indiana, the
home of Mr.. Bryan's running mate.
Mr.. Kern. OF the entire thirteen
members constituting the Indiana
delegation, only two will be Republi-
can in the next congress, whereas in
Republicans from that state. Colo
RADIO will not send so many Democrats
as Indiana, owing to her smaller
population, but that state recorded
whereas all three members of the
present delegation are now Republi-
cans, in the next house all will be
Democratic. Mr.. Bryan's own state of
Nebraska added two to the Demo-
cratic column in the house, making an
equal division of the six members
from that state. OF the other Demo-
catic gains Ohio recorded three,
Illinois one, and Kentucky one.
The most striking accretions of the
Republicans were made in North
Carolina. where three members were
taken from the Democratic column
and in Oklahoma, where there was
gain of two. Missouri and Pennsyl-
vania also switched two members
each from the Democratic to the Re
publican side and New Jersey, Rhode
Island and Wisconsin each supplied
one to the Republican additions.
Otherwise than as here noted, the
various state delegations will remain
as at present.
The states which will be solidly
Democratic are: Alabama, Arkansas,
Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana,
Mississippi, Nevada, South Carolina,
Texas, and those which will be solidly
Republican: California, Connecticut,
Delaware, Idaho, Kansas, Maine,
Michigan, Montana. New Hampshire,
North Dakota, Oregon. Rhode Island,
South Dakota, Utah. Vermont, Wash
ington, West Virginia, and Wyoming.

Is That of Microbes.
The term "microbe' refers to a
parasitic plant or fungi also called
bacteria. A microbe is so small that
it can only be detected by the aid of
a microscope. Some microbes are
harmless, while others produce
various diseases, and derive their
titles through the form of their
growth or because of the disease they
create, which diseases are infectious
or contagious
Prof Unna of Hamburg, Germany,
and DR.. Sabourand, the leading
dermatologist Of France, discovered
that a microbe caused badness. and
their theory has time and again been
amply verified through research ex-
periments carried on through the OBJ
servation of eminent scientists. This
microbe lodges in the Sebum, which
mitted to flourish, it destroys the hair
follicles, and in time the pores en-
tirely close and the scalp gradually
takes on shiny appearance. When
this happens there is no hope of the
hair growth being revived.
Dandruff is a contagious disease
which a microbe causes, and later
produces itching scalp. falling hair
the microbe diseasing the sebaceous
matter, which dries up and scales off.
Sometimes the cuticle surrounding
the hair allows the natural oil of the
AcdIT 10 force It's way between InS
fakes of scarf skin direct to the hair,
and the microbe being between the
fakes force them apart and they
scale off as dandruff.
We have a remedy which positive
ly will remove dandruff, exterminate
the microbe, promote good circulu-
ton in the scalp, tighten and re-
vitalize the hair roots. grow hair and
cure badness. We back up this state

Poor Tools and
AGOOd Worker
That Is What Makes Indigestion, Dys.
pepsia, Sour Taste, Foul Breath
And Catarrh.

The stomach is a good strong vital
organ, which is constantly protecting
and feeding every other organ of the
body.
It is the most abused. neglected and
scorned member of man also. Most men
abuse their stomach with undertook
ed food, high living, alcohol, tobacco,
pastries and scores of other unhealthy
practices.
When the stomach at last sickens of
all this abuse and cannot do it's full
duty, most men are not warned but
keep up their assaults on the stomach
until at last 1t rebels and begins to
strike back and cry for help. Man by
his own abuse has taken away from
the stomach the tools to work with.
These tools are the gastric juices
which go to make up the digestive
agents. From z to So lbs. of gastric
juice are turned into the stomach ev-
cry day.
When poor, poisonous food consumes
this juice. dilutes it, robs it of its
strength and throws it, fermented
mass from the system, of course there
is just that much of the gastric fluid
which cannot be readily supplied by the
blood.
When food comes into a stomach fill
ed with depleted fluids lacking of pow
er to do their part, the good strong
stomach is using poor tools and, of
course, cannot succeed in it's work
A condition which often prevails is
that which takes place when the gas
trio juice contains too much alkali If
the juice were wholly alkaline it would
not only devour and digest the fluid
but would eat and digest the stom-
ach itself. Such gastric fluid does the
digestion no good and attacks the
walls of the stomach making them
raw and sore and setting up inffam-
nation and irritation

gastric juice. They will remove any
abnormal alkaline condition, aIlay irri-

DIVORCE FOR SAGANS.
Report That Anna Gould Is Tired of
Her New Husband.

| London, Nov. 16.-Little credence is
given here to the report that Anna
| Gould is contemplating suit for di-
Vorce from Prince Helie de Sagan on
| the ground of cruelty Friends of both
today said the report probably origf-
mated in the fact that the princess is
greatly distressed by the possibility the
french courts may allow her second
marriage to influence their decision re-
specting the guardianship of her chill
dren in the suit instituted by Count
Boni de Castellane.
The princess is said to have written
| letter in which she declared she
would sooner divorce Sagan than lose
control of her children, but such an
alternative is problematic.
On the other hand, it is reported that
the princess and her present husband
have found that their romance was not
all that it should be, and that they
have tired of it already.
Helie Denies; Anna Confirms.
Prince Helie de Sagan has issued d
denial of this report from Paris and the
princess confirmed the denial but to-
day circumStantiaI details came by
telegraph and cable from several Euro
pean capitals, all giving the same facts
that Anna and Helie have wearied of
each other after gilded welded life of
only four months, and pointing toward
the same end-a divorce court. This
idea is supported by reports from the
L
say that all has not been well for some
time past in the Sagan household.
According to what apears to be an
authoritative report here the Princess
de Sagan appealed secretly to the
British courts a short time ago for d
separation from the prince on the
ground of cruelty.
Another report sent from Rome
states that the princess has twice in
stituted divorce proceedings. but that
both suits were withdrawn under pres
sure from the Gould family in New
York, who wished for no more scandal.
The Rome report also says that the
breach between Helfe and his multi
millionaire wife cannot be bridged, and
that the divorce is only a matter of
time. These reports are declared in
Rome to be authentic, in spite of the
denials from both the prince and
princess.
Anna Wakes Up at Last. -
Whatever may be the immediate
cause, the true reason for the disagree
ment in the De Sagan family is sum-
med up in the one word, disillusion-
ment.
The princess is said to have found
her second husband no better than the
first. He was not the nobleman which
was pictured to her after the ending of
her first marriage in the divorce court,
his life and the alleged scandals con-
nected with it were but little, if any,
less vulgar than those attributed to the
count. Anna Gould was told these
things previous to her second marriage,
but she refused to listen and friends
say the awakening has come too late.

ECHO OF RACE RIOT.
Man Connected With Springfield TrOu-

Springfield, ILL.,, Nov. 16.-Rather
than suffer the disgrace of arrest on a
charge of forgery, Rollo T. Sturgis, one
of the states chief witnesses against
Abe Raymer, alleged leader of the
Springfield race riots, shot and killed
himself yesterday.
At the time of the race riots Sturgis
was a waiter in Loper's restaurant, the
first place wrecked by the mob and
was injured in an effort to protect his
employers property. He also lost his
personal possessions in the destruction
of Loper's place and his poverty led to
the forgery.

Faust, a learned alchemist, doctor of

invokes the aid of the spirits to give new
emotions that life might be worth living.
In response to his frenzied appeal Mephis-

WORKERS cLosE sREWERIes.
Eight Hundred Want Raise Of Wages
and Stop Work.

Kansas City, May 15-Eight hun
dred brewery workers employed at the
different breweries Of Kansas City,
failed to report for work Thursday
and announced that a strike had been
declared. The trouble arises from the
re-signing Of contract between the
men and the breweries. The contract
expired May l. Since then negotia-
tions looking to the signing of a new
contract have been going on. Last
week, however, 1t was apparent that
no agreement could be reached and
officials of the union ordered strike.
The strike completely ties up every
brewery in the city. Brewers, bot.
tiers, labelers, tin foilers, coopers, ma
chinists and drivers are out. Only the
engineers and firenien remained at
work. When the question Of a new
contract was taken up by the contend
ing parties, the brewers presented de-
mands for an increase IN wages, cit
ing the prosperity of the companies
and the Increased price of.liYing to the
workers. The increase asked for ag-
gregated about 81 a week per man.
The brewers made an effort to have
the men sign at the old scale, but were
unsuccessful.
