Pilocarpin, although not a coloring

gredient for restoring the hair to its
natural color, when the loss Of hair
has been caused by a disease Of the

These ingredients in proper COM

We have remedy which is chiefly

there is any vitality left in the roots,
it will positively cure badness. If

WORDS OF WISDOM.

What you look like depends on

away when your life isn't worth

1t is often necessary to go back to
what is good in the past in order to
go forward to what is better.

Softness of head is not a sign OF
salntliness of heart.
Sorrow becomes JOY when 1t leads

1t is earthly freight that spoils

You never find the mules heels on

Care may be the opposite of

You cannot be reconciled to God
While you are resentful to man.
There's little good in him who

Many a man is blind to new truth
because he balks at obeying known
truth.
The more of God you have in your
self the more good you will see in

The poorest people in this world

The success of the man who thinks

ent OF the New York Herald. In the
discussion of the efforts being made
by the Government to stamp the bu-
bonic plague out of San Francisco,
Surgeon-General Wyman says:
"A case of fatal plague was report
ed in San Francisco in May, 1907,
but no other case was reported until
August 8. Up to date of the report
(November 10, 1907), there had
been ninety-six cases and sixty deaths.
AS yet It has been impossible to dis
cover the origin of the present out
break.
BY request of the local and State
authorities the President directed the
Surgeon-General, through the Secre-
tary of the Treasury, to take charge
of the situation. The disease is re-
ported as diminishing, evidently due
to the measures enforced by the large
corps of officers assigned to that duty,
but the Surgeon-General asserts that
1t Will Of necessity require long time
for complete eradication.
This Is better understood by rea.
son of the fact that the disease pre-
walls among rats, and that the fleas
on the rats convey the disease from
one rat to another and to human be-
ings."
In his recommendations regarding

PHILADELPHIA BUYS
OLEO FOR BUTTER.

Harrisburg Especially Dairy and
Food Commissioner Foust has re-

tensive efforts to thwart the work OF
his division In roofing out an organ-l

uons. A number of arrests have,
been made and scores more will fol-l

From special agents II was learn
ed that although there are only sevenl
licensed oleomargarine dealers I'M

pounds of uncolored oleomar garine.
were sold In that city during the sim
gle month .ofsDecember. Further in,
yesugation established the fact that
the pure creamery butter" the
householders of that city have beenl
purchasing from peddlers was really
oleomargarine, colored by means of
coal tar dye so as to resemble genu-i
Inc creamery butter.
The method and manner of these
dealers leads to the conviction that
gigantic conspiracy has been organ
lied in the city of Philadelphia for
the purpose of defying the laws of
the Commonwealth.
AS soon as the agents of the Dairy.
and Food Division we're able to de-
tect some OF the venders of colored
oleomargarine informations were
made and prosecutions instituted.
most of which have been successful.
The facts developed by the State
during the investigation, which has
only begun, indicate the existence of
well-organized movement. support
ed by powerful and influential back
ers. IL is the purpose of the Dairy
and Food Division to exhaust every
effort to bring the guilty to justice
and to expose the conspiracy.
