Woman's Double Burden.

One woman IN nVe IN the United
States has abandoned the domestic
life and has become a wage Garner.
Even this does not accurately state
the situation. In country districts only
two women out of every eleven are at
work, but in cities, that is, wherever
industrial opportunities are present,
two women out of every seven are at
work, nearly one-third of the total
woman population. How far the faith
er of the family has ceased to be the
sole supporter thereof is shown in the
statistics gathered in q cities and tab
ulted by the census bureau. The to-
tai number of women at work in the
81 cities is 904,G95. OF these 173,030
are boarding or living in the families
of their employers. The remaining
731 ,G35 are described as follows:
Woman the sole wage Garner. 9S,S61
One wage Garner in family. -. PISA
Two other wage earners in fam
lily go. ....... .lSS,0S9
More than two other wage earn
ers in family $50. ......... 226,3O0
Out of the 731, 665 women at work,
1851 are supporting the family, and
between 21S,415 and 532,S04 are con
tributing to the family income. Re.

Are Microbes in Your Scalp
Many Explanations of Badness Have
Been Advanced-The Most Cor
rect Is That of Microbes.

The term ''microbe" refers to a "a
rasitic plant or fungi also called bac-
terra. A microbe is so small that it
can only be detected by the aid of a
microscope. Some microbes are harm.
less, while others produce various dis
eases, and derive their titles through
the form of their growth or because
of the diseases they create, which dis
eases are infectious or conta Gious.
Professor Unna of Hamburg, Ger
many, and DR.. Sabourand, the leading
dermatologist of France. discovered
that microbe caused badness, and
their theory has time and again been
amply verified through research ex-
periments carried on through the OBJ
servation of eminent scientists. This
microbe lodges in the sebum, which
is the natural hair oil, and if permit
ted to flourish, it destroys the hair
| follicles, and in time the pores entire
| ly close and the scalp gradually takes
on shiny appearance. When this
happens there is no hope of the hair
growth being revived.
Dandruff is contagious disease
which a micTobe causes, and later pro-
duces itching scalp, falling hair and
badness. Dandruff is caused by the
microbe diseasing the sebaceous mat
ter, which dries up and scales Off
Sometimes the cuticle surrounding the
hair allows the natural oil of the hair
to force its way between the flakes
of scarf skin direct to the hair, and
the microbe being between the flakes
force them apart and they scale of
as dandruff.

no Got the Money.

The United States government paid
$40,000,000 for the French property on
the Panama canal. Who got the money?
is a question that has been publicly
agitated recently; and just before the
election it was strenuously charged
that there was a big public scandal hid
behind the deal. The people have a
right to know the inside facts as to
this transaction in which the expendi-
ture of $40,000,000 of their money was
involved
1t is earnestly to be hoped by all
good citizens that the administration
at Washington will take the public into
its confidence without having to be
forced by the resolution of congression-
al inquiry which Hon. Henry Rainey
of this state has declared he will in
troduce.
All we know now is that the govern
ment paid the s40,000,000, and paid it
through the banking firm of ]. P. Nor
gan & Co. But we don't know to whom
it was paid. ALI the records of the
transaction were removed from Paris
to Washington. And they are not .ac
cessible at Washington. Diligent search
has failed to uncover them.
Meanwhile the charge stands thai
this money was paid to an American
syndicate engineered by Nelson Crom
well and participated in by relative:
of the official family. The charge stand!
that this syndicate was given inside
information that the Panama rout:

An Improvement,

1t was hot day. and the judge was
tired The long drawn out trial had
come to an end, and it became time TO
charge the jury. The judge was just
about to begin his weary task when
he was seized with an inspiration.
Calling a bailiff, he told him to lead
the jury down to the drug store and
have them charged at the soda foun-
tain.
1t made a great hit with them, and
the jury, much refreshed, retired to
their room and speedily brought in as
intelligent verdict as though the
Judge had talked to them for an hour.

Why Cannon Re.jOices.

Joseph G.. Cannon will be speaker of
the next house of representatives. That
seems to be assured beyond a doubt,
despite the candidacy of other con-
gressmen and the opposition of the
cOterie of western members. Repre-
sentative Fowler of New Jersey is an
avowed candidate On platform of re-
form in the rules of the house that
confer so much power upon the speak
er. Mr.. Fowler has been chairman on
the committee on banking and curren-
cy for several years, but his service
there has not attracted to him any fol
lowing. Representative Townsend of
Michigan has been talked of for the
speakership, but nearly all of his own
state delegation are for Mr.. Cannon
Representative Walter l. Smith OF
Iowa has also been mentioned as q
possible candidate, but there is nc
Likelihood that he will be taken up.
A number of the most energetic anti
Cannon republicans fell by the waysidt
| in the recent election. Representa-
| tive Ellis of Missouri is one of them
| IN Nebraska the anti-Cannon feeling
seemed to run high, and nearly all tht
republican candidates pledged them
selves against the reelection of thu
