The finest Coffee Substitute ever
made, has recently been produced
by DR.. Shop of Racine, Wis. You
don have to boil it twenty or thirty
minutes. "Made ia a minute" says
the doctor. Health Coffee is
really the closest Coffee Imitation
ever yet produced. Not a grain of
real Coffee in it either. Health
Coffee Imitation is made from pure
toasted cereals or grains, with malt,
nuts, etc. Really it would fool an

HEARSI'S PARTY
is BUSY HERE
Influence of Local Official of
Typographical Union Is
Being Sought.
PRINTERS FEEL KINDLY
BUT NOT SUFFICIENTLY so AS TO
BECOME ALLIES OF NEW PARTY
AND WILL NOT FLOCK TO TO-
MORROW'S MEETING.

The state managers of William Ran
dolph Hearst's Independence League
have been using all their influence to
launch the party on its feet in Wayne
county. The method decided upon by
the Hearst leaders to start the move
ment in this locality was to influence
the officers of the local typographical
union in indorsing it. Succeeding in
securing the typographical union to
support the movement the Indepen-
dence leaders then hoped to line up
the other trades unions in the city.
A few days ago a representative of
the Indiana Independence league or
ganization, was in the city and called
upon Charles Kirk, secretary of the
local typographical union. He asked
Mr.. Kirk what he thought of the
movement. Mr.. Kirk informed him
that he had given the matter no con-
sideration. He said that the printers
in this city as elsewhere had kindly
feeling for Mr.. Hearst owing to the
splendid treatment Mr.. Hearst had al
ways accorded members of the nation
al typographical union.
Evidently the reDrese ntative took
this latter statement as an acceptance
on the part of Mr.. Kirk to use his in
fluence with the local typographical
union to line that organization up in
behalf of the Hearst movement
Since the representatives visit to this
city he has literally bombarded Mr.
Kirk with communications, urging
him to use all his efforts in spreading
the Hearst propaganda.
Today Mr.. Kirk received two letters
and a telegram from Mr.. Ishenwood
secretary of the Indiana organization,
telling him to be sure and attend the
big independence league meeting
which will be held tomorrow at In
dianapolis. He was also urged to
bring crowd with him and was re-
queSted to notify the committee in
charge of the meeting how many seats
he wanted reserved for the Richm\ld
delegation.
Kirk states that he is not interested
in the Independence league move
ment;~ that he will not give it his sup
port and that even his curiosity will
not attract him to the INDIANAPOLIS
meeting, at which Hearst and Hisgen.
independence candidate for president,
will speak.

Harry Sommers AcLu"vs a
Lease and Will Operate a
Line of Good Shows.
SPECIAL ATTRACTIONS
kLAW AND ERLANGER SYNDI-
CATE WILL BOOK SHOWS
DEAL FOR TRANSFER OF PROP.
ERTY WAS CLOSED YESTERDAY.

Clarence Gennett, owner of the Gen
nett opera house, today announced
that a deal had been closed whereby
Harry G.. Sommers of New York. one
of the biggest theatrical magnates in
the country, has secured the theater,
taking over the lease held by Ira
Swisher. This lease expires Sept. l.,
1909. At it's expiration the popular
play house will probably be released
by Mr.. Gennett to the Sommers in
terests.
Mr.. Gennett announced that Ed
Welsh, Sommer's manager for this
district, had retained Mrs. Ira Swish
er to manage the house for the ensu-
ing season. Mrs. Swisher is an exper-
fenced show woman and is popular
with the local theater public.
Il understand that the best theatre
cal productions obtainable will be pro-
duced at the Gennett under the Som
mers management" stated Mr.. Cen
nett. Il have seen the bookings for
the other houses in this district con-
trolled by the Sommers interests and
they are far better than the average
run of attractions that have in the
past been produced at the Gennett.
Mr.. Sommers Is closely affiliated with
the big theatrical magnates in New
York and the bookings for all of his
houses will be made by the Klaw and
Trllnger syndicate. This guarantees
people of Richmond a good line
'1ows for the entire season."
G Sommers interests will take
{ troll of the Gennett this week. Be
ginning the latter part of this month
first class productions will be put on
at the theater. Mr.. Welsh will be in
the city the latter part of this week
and make final arrangements for the
season.
Negotiations to secure the lease on
the Gennett from Mr.. Swisher were
started about two weeks ago. Acting
for her husband Mrs Swisher gave
Mr.. Welsh and his attorney, B. f.
Shiveley of South Bend, the terms
These We're forwarded to Mr.. Som
mers and being approved by him the
deal was closed yesterday. In this
state the Sommers interests control,
besides the Gennett two theaters in
Marion, one at South Bend and one at
soshen.

THE DIFFICULT TASK.
Combing the Particular Mans Hal
Bothers the Barber.

combing the Particular Mans Hair
Bothers the Barber.
'Do you know, one of the most diff
cult things in this business" said the
barber as he ran the comb through the
hairbrush, lis in the matter of cOmbing
q customers hair? 1t is rather singu-
lar fact that you will find few BARRIERS
who have succeeded in solving the
problem of combing a customers hair
Just as he wants it, no matter how
long the man may have been patron
of his chair. OF course there are few
exceptions to this rule. There are
few men in the world who do not care
whether their hair is combed at all.
With this class of men fof course
it doesn't make much difference how
the barber combs the hair. But at least
ninety out of every hundred men who
patroniZe barber shops are very partic-
ular about the way you comb their
hair unless you have inspired them
with an extraordinary confidence. I'm
less, in fact, they have a better opin-
ion of the BARRIERS Judgment than they
have of their own the barber will miss
the mark when he comes to put the
finishing touches on the hair. The rea-
son for this is not altogether a matter
of vanity. There are a great many
men whose looks are completely
altered by a change in the way the
hair is combed. Take the man, for in
stance, who Is in the habit of parting
his hair on the side. and part it in the
middle or the man who Is in the habit
of combing his hair down and parting
it on one side-suppose you roach or
pompadour the hair-can you not see
what changes would follow in the gen
eral appearance of the man? This fact
has much to do with making the comb
ing of a mans hair matter Of much
difficulty. and do not exaggerate when
I say it Is one of the BARRIERS hardest
tasks. New Orleans Times-Democrat
