NINETY THREE"
The Story OF u Famous Name and
How Ii Originated.

The foremost dermatologist in
France, Dr. Sabourand Of Paris, and
Prof Unna, Hamburg, Germany dis
covered that a microbe caused bald
ness. To prove their theory, Dr. Sa-
bourand infested a guinea pig with
some Of these microbes, and in a COM
paratively short time the animal was
denuded Of every hair that was on its
body.
Some eminent histologists and
chemists were employed by the Uni
ted Drug Co, Boston Mass, to find
the means Of destroying these mi
crobes and a remedy that would Gre
ate a new growth Of hair where the
hair roots had not been entirely de-
stroyed.
After months Of study, experiment.
ing and research work, they discov-
cred what they claimed would do
what was demanded To unquestlon-
ably prove their theory, 100 leading
druggists, located in as many differ
ent cities. were requested 10 each fur
nish the name Of responsible person
suffering from falling hair and bald
ness. Each Of the 100 persons were
furnished three bottles Of the prep
aration with a request to give It
thorough trial and report results,
Five of these persons failed to re-
port. Two declared they had been
bald for years; and their hair fol-
licles mad long been closed and their
scalps were smooth and glossy.
Ninety-three Of the 100 sent IN en-
thusiastic reports. stated that they
were delighted with the hair-restor-
ing qualities Of the preparation, and
expressed sincere thanks for the
wonderful benefits brought about by
its use. In commemOration Of this,
the new preparation was named Rex

Coming Thro' the Rye" has tour
ed The United States the past two sea-
sons and made a record Of success and
attendance everywhere, witch has
never been equalled by any musical
comedy. It is described as one of
those vast productions which is not
only characterized by an immense
presenting company, but which is
given with a remarkable display Of
scenery and costumes and electrical
effects which distinguish the elaborate
productions which are prepared for
the big Broadway theaters in New
York.
Coming Thro the Rye" was writ
ten by George V. Hobart, a distin-
gushed humorist and the music was
composed by a. Baldwin Sloans, who

comedy element Of this piece is said
to keep an audience screaming with
laughter from the beginning TO fin
ish, except when relief Is afforded
by some unusually striking and effec- /

INTERSTATE WRANGLE
HELPS SALMON INCREASE

Despite the wrangle between the
two states over salmon fishing in the
Columbia river, which to date has re-
suited in an injunction by the federal
court restraining the Oregon authori-
ties from attempting to enforce Ore
gon law for the time, immense good
has been done the salmon fishing in
dustry OF the entire river. says a dis
patch from Portland, as a result Of
Oregon's attempt to keep the upper
stretch Of the stream closed for a sea-
son.
Since August 25, the date when the
new Oregon law placed ban on fish
ing east of the Sandy. some fish have
of course been caught in the upper
river, for the most part by men who
deliberately ignored the Oregon stat
ute with a view to having the matter
adjudicated by the courts, but the
operations were desultory and the
catch east of the Sandy to date has
been but a fraction of what it would
have ben had the law not interfered.
The result is that not for many
years have so many of the fish been
allowed to go to the spawning grounds
Of the upper reaches of the stream and I.
Its tributaries, which will mean a de-
cided increase in the supply of the
fish for next season. \ local dealer
said of the situation today:
mot for many years has the out
ook for the coming season been 50
favorable as now, and il is wholly due
o the fact that through the half-suc-
'essful operation of the new Oregon
aw fishing in the upper river has
,een all but stopped for the past
month. Reports now coming in indi-
ate that the run of the fish in all
,arts of the river is exceptionally
arge, and there are now more fish
to the spawning grounds
han has been known in years.
81 have been told by the manager
# the Ontario fish hatchery that in
Il probability that institution will
his season hatch out 100000 900 sal
non eggs. If half the young fry (
each maturity it will be a big thing
Dr the salmon industry. Whatever
lay be the outcome of the tangle be- {
yeen the two states, great good has
cen done by Oregon's efforts to reg I

SPELLBINDERS
TAKE To WOODS
CAMPAIGN WORKERS IN
FIGHT FOR DOUBTFUL
Each Party Gets Representatives In.
10 Field in Dcbatable Districts
Speakers Bureaus of National Or
CARNATIONS are Busy Quarters To-
day-Many States Considered as
Doubtful in Coming Election.

New York, oct. 1.-The first day
Of October always marks the begin
ming Of the hottest period of a presi-
dental campaign, and this year is no
exception. Many prominent men in
both parties, whose services as speak
ers have not heretofore been avail
able reported for duty today. Tho
speakers bureaus Of both parties have
completed the. itineraries of most of
the orators and every spell-binder will
be urged to push the campaign with
all vigor during October. Governor
Hughes will deliver two speeches here
today, prior to beginning a tour Of
the middle west.
a comparison of the claims of both
parties shows that an even dozen
states are included in the doubtful
column by the forecasters at the head
quarters Of one or both parties. These
commonwealths are New York, New
Jersey, Indiana, Minnesota, Colorado,
Maryland, Montana, Nebraska, West
Virginia, Utah, South Dakota and
Wisconsin. Some of these states are
claimed as certainly republican by the
leaders in that party. while others are
just as certainly placed in the demo-
cratic column by the supporters Of
Bryan. The principal battles Of the
campaign will be fought in these 12I
states, with New York and Indiana
the most important scenes of conten-
ton. i
The 12 states which are placed by
one party or the other in the doubtful |
column have a total electoral vote of |
12S. In other states which are con-
sidered as reasonably certain to give
decisive majorities, the republicans
can depend upon 1874 electoral votes
and the democrats 161. If the repub-
licans can gain 46 electoral votes from
the doubtful territory, according to
this showing, Mr.. Taft will be the
next president of the United States.
On the other hand, if the democrats
carry the doubtful territory to the
extent of winning 81 electoral votes,
Mr.. Bryan will be the next occupant
of the White House.
If the Republicans can carry New
York and Indiana, Taft and Sherman
will almost certainly have a safe mar {
gin in the electoral college Unless ]
the unexpected happens and some of
the states normally republican should
go for Bryan, the democrats will have
to secure q electoral votes from the
other doubtful states, in addition to
New York and Indiana. in q
order to elect Bryan and Kern. Cali t
fornia is placed in the doubtful col !
umn by the democrats. while Wlscon- r
sin and New Jersey, considered doubt f
'ul by democratic prophets. are listed n
as certainly republican by the Taft t
men. Admission of these claims b
would change but slightly the results u
IS here given. and the great fight for II
will be in the states men
ioned. {

Evangelist Torrey, who prides him
self upon the number of his converts,
met one hardened sinner in Chicago
whom he failed to convert. The min
lister had been preaching to a tent full
of people. He had described the vices
of the rich, and had pointed Biblical
analogies at their luxuries. One man
in the back of the tent had seemed
to be much interested He leaned
forward to catch every word. Tor
rey, taking the interest to mean
approaching conversion, redoubled his
efforts. ''The road to hell is lined
with vintage, wine, beautiful women
and fine automobiles" he exclaimed.
With sigh as of relief, the man in
the back of the tent arose. ooh,
death. where is thy sting?" he said.

WIDOW
MRS. JONES WAS "FIRST LADY,
OF TEXAS REPUBLIC.
Judge Who Performed Marriage Cere,
mony in 1910 Killed by Indians
Shortly After Near Austin
Her Adventurous Life.

Austin, TeX.-Mrs. Arson Jones,
who died the other day, was one of the
most historic women of Texas. She
was the widow of DIR. Arson Jones,
who was president of the Republic
of Texas during the period just previ-
Gus to the annexation of the common
wealth to the United States. Mrs.
Jones, as first lady of the land" pre-
sided at many social functions which
were given at the capital of the young
republic. In those early days foreign
ambassadors were located in Austin,
and, despite the activity of the In
dians, who kept them in constant dread
of being killed, these representatives
of foreign governments managed to
have a very pleasant time.
The marriage of DR.. and Mrs. Jones
took place in Austin in May, 1910. The
wedding trousseau was brought all the
way from Houston to Austin, a dis
lance of 1856 miles, by oxcart.
Judge James Smith, who married
DR.. and Mrs. Jones, was killed by In.
dams while out riding near Austin a
short time after he had performed the
ceremony.
Mrs. Jones related many interesting
incidents that occurred in the Texas
capital during the time that her hus-
band was president of the republic.
She said that the foreign ambassadors
seldom travelled even a short distance
into the country out of Austin without
being provided with a guard to pre-
vent attack by Indians. On one &C.
casion the French ambassador, M De
Saligny, wanted to take a pleasure
ride a short way beyond the outskirts

BANISHED
Coffee Finally Had to Go.

The way some persons cling to cot
fee even after they know it is doing
them harm, is a puzzler. But it is an
easy matter to give it up for good
when Postum Food Coffee is properly
made and used instead.
A girl writes: Mother had been
suffering with nervous headaches for
seven weary years, but kept drinking
coffee.
"One day I asked her why she did
not give up coffee as a cousin of mine
had done who had taken to Postum.
But Mother was such a slave to coffee
she thought it would be terrible to
give it up.
Finally, one day, she made the
change to Postum, and quickly her
headaches disappeared. One morning
while she was drinking Postum so
freely and with such relish asked for
taste.
That started me on Postum and
now drink it more freely than l did
coffee, which never comes into our
house now.
"A girl friend of mine, one day, saw
me drinking Postum and asked if 1t
was coffee l told her it was Postum
and gave her some to take home, but
forgot to tell her how to make it.
THE next day she said she did not
see how | could drink Postum. found
she had made it like ordinary coffee.
So told her how to make it right
and gave her a cupful l made, after
boiling it fifteen minutes. She said
she never drank any coffee that tasted
as good, and now coffee is banished
from both our homes" Name given

ITCHING HUMOR ON BOY
His Hands Were Solid Mass, and
Disease Spread All Over Body
Cured in a Days BY Cuticura.

"One day we noticed that our little
boy was all broken out with itching
sores. We first noticed it on his little
hands. His hands were not as bad
then, and we didn't think anything
serious would result. But the next day
we heard of the Cuticura Remedies
being so good for itching sores. By
this time the disease had spread all
over his body, and his hands were
nothing but solid mass of this itch
ing disease. l purchased box of Cuti-
cura Soap and one box of Cuticura
Ointment, and that night l took the
Cuticura Soap and lukewarm water
and washed him well. Then I dried
him and took the Cuticura Ointment
and anointed him with it. I did this
every evening and in four nights he
was entirely cured. Mrs. Frank Don

of town. He applied to President
Jones for an armed guard to accom-
pany him. The guard was not avail
able just at the time, and President
Jones informed the ambassador that
he was unable to comply with his re
quest. The Frenchman became mad
dened and excited when his request
met with refusal, Mrs. Jones said. He
exclaimed as he left the presidents
presence in a huff:
IT hope a d Indian will kill me
Then see what France will do"
The ambassador went on his ride
alone and returned safely.
DR.. Jones, the last president of the
Texas republic, was native of Massa
chusetts. He came to Texas in 1888
before the new republic was born, anc
located at Brazoria. He soon became

of the Texas congress in 1888, an6
that same year he was appointed min
lister to the United States from Texas
He represented this republic at Wash
ington for two years and returned tc
his home to fill the Office of senator
to which he had been elected.

from Austin to Washington, Tex, il

He named the executive mansion a.
Washington harrington, in honor o.
Great Darlington, Mass, the place o.
his nativity.
DR.. Jones died in 1858. His widow
lived for some time in Galveston, and
in 1879 she moved to Houston, where
she has since resided.

woman, before her marriage to DR.
Jones, was full of adventure and ex
element. She was born in Lawrence
county, Arkansas, and was the eldes
child of John C. and Sarah Smith. Hel

NO BLESSING FOR HER.
Disappointed Youngster Disseminated
in His Prayer.

For several weeks, little Ralph had
enjoyed the use of a Shetland pony,
the property of a horse dealer who
was a friend of the family. But much
to Ralphs sorrow, there came a day
recently when the pony was sold, and
the delightful horseback rides came
to sudden end. The purchaser, as
Ralph found out by inquiry, was
little girl of about his own mature
age of five. Ever since his acquaint-
ance with the pony began, Ralph had
included him in his bedtime prayer,
and GOD bless the pony" was an
earnest nightly petition. The first
evening after the sale of the pony,
Ralph hesitated when he reached his
pets place in the prayer. Then, after
a moments thought, he continued:
Please, God, bless the pony just
the same; but, God, don't you bless
the little girl what's got the pony"
