There is no likelihood Of a gen

Npon at this session of Congress,
and as far as we have seen none
has been intro duced. There
was, however, a bill of an entirely
different nature and wholly differ
ing in its effects introduced last
year by Congressman Finis Gar
rett. Another such a measure was
introduced in the present Con-
gress, and it is likely that it will
be considered. This measure has
no relation or no connection with
a general Parcels Post. 1t is a
measure simply to reduce the rates

SHORTAGE OF FALSE
HAIR HAS DEVELOPED

Paris, Sept. Eventually it
might have been expected that the
demand for false hair in Paris would
exceed the supply, but the crisis has
come sooner than looked for. \
A French woman without a few
false curls does not consider herself
well dressed, and the situation is
aggravated by the fact that constant
hairdressing, curling, and the appli-
cation of so-called tonics ruin the
growth of the hair, so that most
Frenchwomen are obliged to depend
on couture to adorn their heads
For years the peasant girls of Brit
tany and Normandy have been in the
habit of selling their tresses at an
nual hair fairs, but lately there has
been a decided shortage in these
quarters. Recent customs statistics
show that France imports 300 tons
of hair yearly from other countries,
chiefly China and Japan
1t is true prominent hair
dresses in the Place Vendome told
me, we are having great difficulty
in securing enough hair to meet the
demand, especially since American
women have accepted the French
fashion of hairdressing and wear
false curls. AT one time only the
nobility wore false hair, but now
everybody has it. OF course, all
the whole the stage demands a GER
tain number of wigs"

WORKS SMOOTH SWINDLE
ON AMERICAN CURATOR

Paris, Sept 16.-Walter Norris
Stiles of Boston, who came to Eu-
rope this summer as the curator of
the American Exhibition at the third
International Congress for the Adj
vancement of the Art of Teaching, is
the latest victim of those clever
charpers who have been woring the
continent this season.
The scheme, evidently suggested by
the play "Brewster's Millions" has
been worked several times already
upon unsuspecting Americans Mr..
Stiles met his fate in Brussels short
ly after leaving London. As a result
he came to Paris this week with very
little money and no watch.
Those who work the game are
both Americans. One drifts around
the smart hotels and makes friends
One friend thus made was Mr. Stiles,
and the friendly one and he saw
Brussels together
Some two days later they ran into
the other man, who was introduced
to Mr.. Stiles as friend 1t soon
transpired that by the terms of his
uncle's will the second man was fore
ed to spend "a certain amount of
if there were any charitable or edu-
cational institutions in which Mr.
Stiles was interested in Boston to
which he might give sum of money
Of course Mr.. Stiles thought of sew
eral and the other friend thought of
several more.
They were sitting in a cafe, and,
as evidence of good faith, the first
friend showed a check and cards Mr..
Stiles showed his money also. Some
time later ali left the cafe, with an
appointment to meet in the evening.
When Mr. Stiles reached his hotel
he found his money and watch gone,
and the two friends did not keep the
appointment. Mr.. Stiles reported the
matter to the police, and then hur-
ried to Paris, where he cabled for
more money

TIE
General Dem and

of the Well-Informed of the World has
always been for simple, pleasant and
efficient liquid laxative remedy of known
value; laxative which physicians could
sanction for family use because its COM
ponent parts are known to them to be
wholesome and truly beneficial in effect,
acceptable to the system and gentle, yet
prompt, in action
In supplying that demand with its ex-
cellent combination. of Syrup of Figs and
Elixir of SIENNA, the California Fig Syrup
Co. proceeds along ethical lines and relies
on the merits of the laxative for it's remark
able success.
That is one of many reasons why
Syrup of Figs and Elixir of SIENNA is given
the preference by the Well Informed.
To get its beneficial effects always buy
the genuine-manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co., only, and for sale
by all leading druggists, Price fifty cents

COUPLE LIVE ON
DOLLAR PER WEEK

st. Louis, Mo, Sept. 1--we have
all we need, thank God, for our daily
bread, and are happy" says John
adm Mariana Szarmbeck, who live
on 10 cents a day. Both are close
to the century mark and have been
married fifty years. They live in a
tenement house in the Polish colony
of ST Louis, and while neither knows
the exact age of either, are old enough
to remember the later days of the
First Napoleon's reign
John worked as a stone cutter I'M
til he lost an eye eight years ago.
Since then their little reserve fund
has been spent, and John does odd
jobs of mending for his neighbors
which nets a scant dollar week.
They could have as much more
as they needed, for none of the
kindly folk that have lived with the
old couple in the tenement house
would see them suffer. The single
dollar, however, satisfies all their
wants

If there is the slightest doubt in the

exist, their belief is compelled by the
fact that a rabbit innoculated with the
germs became bald in six weeks time.
1t must be apparent to any person
therefore that the only prevention Of
badness is the destruction of the germ
which act is successfully accomplished
in one hundred per cent of cases by
the application of Newbro's Herpicide
