4 WOMAN TO BE PRETTY


No Matter what Color.
The finest contour of a female face, the
sweetest smile Of a female mouth, loses
something IL the head Is crowned with
scant hair. Scant and falling hair, it Is
now known, Is caused by a parasite tina
burrows into the scalp to the root of tho
hair, where 1t saps the vitality. The lit
tie white scales the germ throws up in
burrowing are called dandrufr. To cure
dandruff permanently. then. and to stop
falling hair, that germ must be killed.
Newbro's Herpicide. an entirely new re-
suit of the chemical laboratory. destroys
the dandrufr germ. and, Of course, stops
the falling hair. and prevents badness.

ant grass. Near the villages are little patches of cultivation. The natives raise peanuts, Indian corn and 8 millet like sorghum. I see them everywhere digging up the black soil. They are naked, and are almost as dark as the dirt they are hceing.
 In the vicinity of Lake Victoria and all along the Uganda railway large tracts of land have been taken up by Europeans. and some of this is being ditched and drained l understand that it is the ln- tention to turn the whole into one great cotton plantation, and see no reason why that should not be done. This country is right on the equator and the elevation. which is about 1000 feet above the sea, makes it well fitted for cotton. It is too hot for white men to do steady out-of- doors work; but the plantation could be handled by the native labor. The whites who take care of themselves are reason ably healthy. This is especially so of those who live on the high lands, the lower places being malarious and pro- ductive of fever.

PARIS RESTAURANTS THAT
 ALL GOURMONDS KNOW

From the Washington Post
 Tn Paris said a portly American re- gently returned from the French capital, you'll want to see the great works or art, but don't overlook the works of art turned out by the greatest cooks in the world.
 When old Frederic shanles off the scene the Paiisians ought to build statue of him. Why. that caneton a Ia Tour q Argent at his little place on the Quai Tournelle is worth the trip over alone.
 That restaurant isn't at all fashion- able. There is no music and but one small room with sanded floor and few tables. Frederic is an old man now, with an enormous growth of gray whiskers, which make him look more like Wotan in the German opera than great cook
 Frederick cooks and carves every duck himself. He cooks it in chafing dish, and while he stirs the walters cluster around in attention, the diners watch with hungry eyes and there is no sound eN- cept the splutter of the spirit flame. After being carved the carcass of the duck is put back into duck crusher and from the red juice he concocts his famous sauce. Oh, yum, yum, that duck and that sauceI
 "As we were leaving and stood in the doorway with Notre Dame looming up vast and indistnct across the Seine, one of the ladies said:
 :. T read of you in a book the other day
 " 'Ah, madame. there are many books written about Frederic, was his vain re- py.
 .' This one was by an American lady.
 " Madame he said with bow, with ont the Americans there would be no Frederic
 That's right. too for Americans prac- aically support his place.
 Lobster a Ia Foyot at Foyot's will run Frederics duck a close second.

riageable age. Poligamy is common here and a man may thus have several sisters among his wives.
 They Are Good Girls.
 One would suppose that these Kavi- rondo girls might be rather loose III their morals. l am told that they are not so. and that they rank much be- ter in this regard than the maldens ,f Uganda. the province adjoining. nearly all of whom wear clothing. Virtue stands high here, and infraetions of the laws regarding it are severely pun ish ed. This is less so now than in the past. Divorces are not common. but a mar can divorce his wives if he will. One curious custom is that if hus band and wife have quarrel. and she leaves the hut and he shuts the door after her that action alone is con- sidered equivalent to a divorce and the woman goes back to her own people at once.
 kavirondo Villages.
 But let us go out into the country and look at some of the Kavirondo viii lages. | have visited many and have had no trouble whatever in going inso the houses. There are many little set dement's scattered over the plains be- tween nere ana lile -ulliS, Nllu lopA- paths running from village to village. The most of the settlements are small, a dozen huts or forming good sized one The houses have walls nf mud with cone shaped roofs, thatchs1 with grass The doors are so low thar one has to crawl into them; and many a house is not more than seven feet high from the mud floor to the top or the cone.
 The roof usually extends out beyond the walls of the hut covering a sort of ve- randa. 8 part of which is inclosed and a part open There are poles outside which support the roof or the Verands.
 The huts are usually built around an open square and are joined by fences of rough limbs and roots, so that each col lection of huts forms a stockade in which the animals belonging to the village can be kept at night. Somtimes village may be made of a number Of such CIT cles, each collection of huts belonging to one family One of the huts is for the poligamous husband and one for each of his wives.
 But let us go inside one of the houses and see him it looks. We stoop low as we enter The floor is of mud, with a few skins scattered over it. The skins are the sleeping places. Notice that little pen at the back filtered with dirt? That is where the goats sleep. The chickeos are put in that tall basket over there in the corner and are covered up until morn ing. There is practically no furniture, except a few pots. The cooking is done in clay vessels over that fire in the cen ter of the hut and the food is served in

small baskets. the men eating first and the women taking what is left.
 Outside each hunt, under the veranda, is the mill of the family. It consists of great stone, with a hole clipped out of the center The women grind Indian corn or sorghum seed in such mills. pounding or rubbing the grain with q second stone, just a trifle smaller than the hole. In the grinding bits of the stone come off and are mixed with the meal, often causing diseases of chronic indigestion.
 Towns of the Dead.
 I understand some of the older I<ayir- ondo villages are nothing but cemeteries, and that there are little towns each hut Of which contains one or more dead bodies and nothing else. The people are superstitous and want to be buried in the same places in which they have lived. When chief dies l.isAbody is in tered in the center of his hut. He is placed in the grave in a sitting posture just deep enough to allow his head and neck to be above ground. The head is then covered with an earthen pot and this is left there until the ants get in and clean off the skull. After this the skull is buried close to the hut or with in it and the skeleton is taken out and reburied on some hill top or other sa- cred place.
 Ordinary people are buried in their own huts lying on their right sides with legs doubled up under the chin Such a hut Is then left and forms a monument to the dear departed. l understand that where there have been epidemic diseases one may sometimes find a whole village of such huts occupied only by the dead. The buildings are left until they fall to pieces
 kavirondo Cattle.
 These kaVirondo are a st0ck-raising people. I see their little fiocks of sheep and goats everywhere and frequently pass droves of bumped cattle The ami mals are fat. They graze everywhere over the plains being usually herded. Every drove has flock of of white birds about it. Some of the birds are on the ground and some are perched on the backs of the cattle eating the insects and vermin they find there. They are the rhi- noceros birds, which feed on the flies and other insects which attack those great beasts and which by their flying warn them of the approach of danger. The cat tie are driven into the villages at night or into small inclosures outside. The wo- men do the milking, but l am told they are not allowed to drink the milk, all though they may mix it with flour into soup.

without saying that her wages have
gone up, like everything else. The fact
that she does not pay rent or food or
fuel bills does not initiate against
her demanding more pay for the same
work that was done ten years ago at a
smaller wage.
