Men Need Not Look Old
Prematurely.

The bane of many mems existence
Is premature grayness. The great
trouble in the search for a restorer of
color has been the seeming impos-
sibility of getting a preparation that
is anything more than mere dye
the use of which any one can detect.
At last though, there is a real Hair
Restorer. One that restores the color
of youth and no one in the world,
barber or specialist. can detect
whether the restoration of color is
due to nature or medication.
DIR. Motifs Cuban Hair Restorer is
the name of the great discovery that
has brought the muchly hoped for re-
lief to men and women who are en-
barrassed by the appearance of be-
ing years and years older than they
feel. and this because their hair is
prematurely gray.
For the first time Dr. Motifs Cuban
Hair Restorer is for sale in Topeka
and the limited supply which Mar
shall Bros have on hand will no
doubt be soon depleted by the great
demands that this city will make
upon it.

New York Oct. 13.-Countess Lydia
Rostoptchine of Russia, who is in this
country on her first visit, chose a
novel way to make certain she would
have no trouble in reaching her
restitution. In letter to the Martha
Washington hotel, engaging rooms,
she enclosed a photograph of herself
and directed the hotel management to
give it to the porter. who was to meet
the steamer.
Mike Maher. one of the baggage
handlers, was entrusted with the
mission. When the steamship st.
Louis locked Mike was one of the first
to climb aboard. Armed with the
photograph he made a thorough can

had no trouble in locating the dis
vass of every feminine countenance and
highly pleased at the successful out
come of her plan,
She is a well educated woman. Her
visit to America is for the purpose of
delivering a series of lectures on Rus
gia.

TAFT REPLIES TO GoMPERs.
Large Crowd Hears the Candidate Dis
cuss Labor Question.

Akron, o., Oct. 13.-Seventeen Ohio
towns heard and saw William H. Taft
Monday. He talked from Cincinnati to
Akron through a portion of the state
conceded to have been a Foraker
stronghold with portion of territory
Democratic. The candidate was listen
ed to by large crowds. The important
speeches of the day were at GAINESVILLE.
Cambridge and Akron, where in each
instance the candidate left the train to
meet his audience. In his GAINESVILLE
speech Mr.. Taft went after both Mr..
Bryan and Mr.. Gompers.
Mr.. Bryan goes around the country
saying 1 am the father of Injunction"
declared Mr.. Taft. 1T is not true
did not invent Injunction or injunctions
in labor disputes. But it is quite nat
ural that Mr.. Bryan should make the
mistake because in a letter he wrote
to the district attorney of Belmont, O..
he said he has not read my decisions"
Continuing. Mr.. Taft gave great en-
phasis to what he regarded as the eff
feet of the decisions he had rendered
on the bench.
Il laid down the law. and laid down
the principles he said upon which
the labor organizations in this country
have since built up their prosperity
and their usefulness and instead of say
ing that l am an enemy of, they recog-
nize that l am one of the greatest bene-
factors labor has had. / decided a case
against the labor Brotherhood of Engi-
neers and the brotherhood condemned
me. In four years they got into the
courts in st. Louis and they had to
cite my case to induce the court to
withdraw the injunction there because
/ had laid down the principles upon
which they could organize. could have
their officers, could raise their funds
could go on and conduct strikes under
advice of the officers. and in that case
they induced. on the authority of my
decision, the judge to withdraw his in
junction and they went ahead and won
the strike. That same thing occurred
in court in Cincinnati and a decision
rendered in Chicago. If you will ex-
anime the case you will find that in
stead of being an oppressor of labor I
am it's benefactor. l have been some
thing besides a judge. 1 had 30 900 la
borers under me on the Panama canal
OF course we had difficulties down
there. We had the question of wages
and 1 decided against the laborers
What did they do? 1 gave them the
reason for deciding the way l did
Why, they elected me a member of
their union. Why? Because I am fair

trades unions have doubled in this
country-they never were in such
prosperous state; the American Feder-
alton of Labor has increased 100 per
cent Mr.. Gomper's salary has been
