CURE FOR BALDNESS
We'll Known Doctor Says Going Bare
 Headed is the Remedy.

We'll Known Doctor Says Going Bare
 Headed is the Remedy.
 Two years ago Dr. Harvey w. Wiley, Uncle Sam's pure food expert was bald headed; now he has fine head of hair. He doesn't use any oils, hair invigora- tors, bear grease or other noxious nost- runs. He is simply raising a second growth of hair.
 Anyone may grow luxuriant hair by following a few simple rules" said the doctor. Three or four years ago took to going bareheaded. The sun got a chance at my scalp and killed the germs which were killing my hair at the roots, and preventing it from growing. Any bald headed man may do as have done and he will be cured. Badness, in short, is disease.
 All a fellow has to do is to give up the stove-pipe or derby hat habit, adopt soft headgear, turn his bald spot to the sun as often as possible, and cut out promiscuous barber shops. The hard boiled hat is damaging to the vitality of the upper scalp. But the soft hat is coming in, and believe that in coming generations there will be no such thing as badness, because the race is growing in common sense. Going bareheaded, of course, is an excellent remedy"

SHEFFIELD

Believing it IS sufficiently rich in gold to warrant mining, New York parties are to have quartz taken from the farm of Henry J. Leach in Sheffield. assayed in the metropolis. On the Leach farm is partly filled shaft from which con- siderable quantity of quartz containing gold was taken 20 years ago. 1t is the impression of Arthur M. Hewins of Sheffield that the streak was not worked in a practical manner and that little effort was made to develop the mine. The old shaft consists simply of hole in the ground on a sidehill, partly filled with surrounding soil. The quartz, containing shining particles of gold, however, is evident in abundance, and there are traces of sulphur and other minerals.
 Thomas Massey, of Sheffield, was fined $l0 in the district court at Great Bar rington Saturday for drunkenness.

4 Heroine.
TOriginal.1


 Pietro Carricci was a famous bandit Pietro's success lay in strategy rather than fighting. He would get up in genious devices to induce people to walk right into a trap and then hold them for ransom. The country round about his lair suffered from many of his tricks, but the bandit never used the same ruse twice. so that each new one worked as we'll as the preceding.
 Young Luigi, oldest son and heir Of Count Bartinelii. was known to be a suitor for the hand Of Beatricia Car rono. whose father had other plans for her. One day Luigi while walking on road near his fathers villa was Gc- costed by man. who asked him if he were not Luigi Bartine!;i. and when he said yes the man told him that a man a short distance up the road was looking for him with letter from a lady, marked "Immedilte." Luigi. be- lieving the note to be from B2atricia, started in the direction indicated. over took a man whom he supposed to be the messenger, but was (NTected to go farther. Tn this way the young man was passed from ore person to an other till he came to a lonely place. where he found one who admitted Ee was the messenger. He said mock ingly that the letter was from Senorita Carrono, who instructed him to pay to Carricci, the bandit, $+0,Goo for ran. som. Luigi was taken to the robbers lair, whence he dispatched a letter to his father stating the case. It was i'm possible for the count to raise so much money immediately. and the case dragged.

Timber Owners Organize 10 Fight Fire

a recent bulletin, issued by the Forest
Service, says:
One of the most important economic
movements Of the day about which the
general public has yet learned little,
timber in different parts of the country,
in organizing associations to protect
their holdings from fire. In the Pacifc
northwest, the Washington Forest Fire
Association has just elected officers at
Seattle and begun work for the year
with 1900, 600 acres under its care. The
plans include II system of patrol by
rangers resembling the work done by
the United States Forest Service in
guarding against and cxtinguishing
fires.
Organizations Of similar kind and for
II like purpose are ut work in Oregon
and Idaho. In the latter state. Il por-
ton of the expense is horne by taxation
and paid from tho state treasury. a
western railroad company which holds
large tracts Of timber, has taken steps
to guard its property from fire and dur.
ing the time its plans have been in
operation, il has met with most en-
couraging success.
Similar work is being done on the
other side Of the continent. Forest
owners in Maine have gone To work in
the same systematic way to control the
forests great enemy, fire. Like organi.
cations are found in other parts of the
country, showing how fully IL Is now
realized that protection against fire is of
the greatest importance.
II il safe to SAY that fires in this coun.
try have destroyed more timber than
lumbnrmcn have cut. When timber
was abundant, the waste passed almost
unnOtiCcd. but now that n scarcity is ut
hand and an actual wood famine threat.
ems in tho ncar future, the owners Of
forest lands are waking up and taking
action to save what IL left.

IMPORT AND EXPORT OF
GOLD THIS YEAR

The shipment of Fl, 1000, 900 in gold to

beginning Of d movement which will
aggregate n total of SEQ, 600, 600. For
the first months this year the total OK.
ports were only 81, $50, DOB. or about Gs
per cent less than for the corresponding
period Of 1907. In the full year of 1907
the exports amounted to 800 15, Gs1,
which compares with $40. 70a. 1913 in
1906; showing al increase of ~, 800, 528,
or about ~ per cent.
1t is noteworthy that only q few
months ago the United States was u
large buyer Of gold in London and Paris,
as q result Of the unusual stringcncy In
the domestic money market. During
the first quartar Of this year our imports
of gold amounted to the large sum of
$17, 209, sol, which was 1851. 93G. or
4S.5 per cent, more than was reported
in 1907. The imports for tho first three

larger than the exports.
