Some people wash the hair with tar

The girl who has good health is de-

The Brain After FIFTY.

The brain usually stops growing at
about 30, and from 60 to 30 it is more
likely to decrease. 1t has been related
by Canon MacColl, says the London
Spectator, that Mr. Gladstone's head
was constantly outgrowing his hats.
AS late as the Midlothian campaign,
when he was nearly 20, he was obliged
to have his head remeasured for this
reason Canon MacColl's conclusion
that this continued growth of brain
contributed to Mr.. Gladstone's peren-
NAL youthfulness appears not unwar-
ranted.

Insurance Commissioner Beedle nas be-
gun proceedings to enforce the statute
which requires all life insurance COM
panies having policies in force in Wiscon-
sin to file with the commissioner annual
reports of the condition of the company.
The law fixes a penalty of $500 for fail

the proceedings. Some companies that
Withdrew from the State refused to make

Of all the collars offered at the neck

The belt fad of the moment is plain
strap of leather to accord with the
gown and fastens with a monogram
buckle. These are gold or silver, quite
round, the wearer's initials being set
within a fine rim. The clasp is pre-
cisely the width of the belt and so ad-
iusted that it may be put on different
bands.

the entire depth Of the hips and from
this there falls a fat fiounce trimmed
with innumerable insertions or rows of
ribbons The bottom is finished with
little frills and ruches. Such a skirt
takes up little enough room and adds
imperceptible bulk.

The United States Rubber Company,

out orders to the hundred or more of the
wholesale and retail concerns which it
controls to cut down expenses on account
of the falling off in the rubber trade.
