other joins in. Sick headache Is due to
overwork or overtaxing the stomach.
Avoid constipation. Various remedies

Dear Ma. gerry Doom:
1 am a young woman of Fl and am
in love with a young mar two years
my senior, who says he loves me, but
that he does not make enough to sup
port, me and cannot get married for
that reason. Now, he makes $40 a week,
and 1 think we could get along very
nicely on that, particularly as he ex-
poets a good big raise when times are
better. He has steady work all the
year. Would it be wrong for me to
tell him 1 think we could manage on
that sum? He lives with his people,
who are well-to-do, and that is why he
thinks we could not manage. but my
folks are poor, and I know how far the
money would go. l love him dearly

a pimpled complexion. First wash and
scrub the face with the facial brush
and olive oil soap. and after rinsing put
a drop of peroxide of hydrogen on each
pimple. I am greatly troubled with
plmples and black heads, and your ad-
vice will be greatly appreciated by
ONE IN NEED.
The above recipe has been published
In this column, and Will be found very
beneficial. If you scrub your face every
day with good olive oil soap and hot
water, using the facial brush to do the
work, you will have very few pimples
or blackheads. Use just a drop of the
peroxide on the .pimples while they re-
main, but after they are cured do not
use it on your face. The s%crubbing will
be- sufficient. Watch your diet and
don't eat rich, heavy food, IL you wish
to have a clear complexion.

For Split Hair.

My Dear Madame Alta:
Your instructive advice to others has
often helped me Indirectly. I turn to
you, therefore. to ascertain the present
condition Of my hair. My hair, though
very long, is broken UP In different
lengths. The lock enclosed shows you
how the ends split. 1 keep my hair
clean and have little or no dandruff.
Have never used a hair tonic and have
used common tar soap in the sham
poo. Have never tried singing. hav-
ing heard tina 1t IS merely a supersti-
ton. What shall 1 do? A. w.
Your hair needs smuggling by a pro-
fessional. Nothing else will remedy the
broken, split condition of the ends. The
smuggling treatment is no mere super
stition, but is we'll worth trying.

ing much less severe than at ono time
feared. Great Britain closes the year
under fairly good conditions. Reaction
airy tendencies are also to be observed
in that country, but the Kaffir excite
ment has subsidized and no important
dangers are yet in sight. France goes
on its way comparatively uninjured by
financial disturbances elsewhere; and
Paris for some time past has been the
strongest financial center on the globe.
In other countries the commercial ten
denotes are somewhat reactionary, as
must be expected after such long perl
cd of worldwide expansion.
In closing it seems to me entirely rea-
sonable to indulge in more hopeful views.
Possibly we may have to face six months,
or even year, of more or less business
depression. The dangerous tendencies OF
a year ago have been thoroughly ar
rested. and the tendencies now at work
are those of a corrective nature, which
is distinctly encoui aging. The disease
has been correctly diagnosed, and 1t is
now only a question OF applying the
proper remedy-contractio the pa
tient having a vigorous constitution and
courageous temperament, will soon re-
cover. This is a presidential year, and
unless all signs fail. the campaign is like
ly to be a comparatively quiet affair. The
ing largely of Mr.. Roosevelt's creation,
and the fight promises to be concernir g
men more than principles. 1t would be a
surprise If the Republican party lost its
present control, and it is not undeserv-
ing of notice that Mr.. Bryan is not quite
as much feared since he dropped free
silver and government ownership.
A final word as to distrust and It's
causes. The distrust, which has been so
ala In h. 10
duced by two sets of influences. The
first was strictly economic and was APP
preciated only by ithe business commun-
ity; the second was moral and had a
far reaching effect on public opinion. It
is wholesome and encouraging sign that
the American public will not tolerate the
scandalous exposures which began with
life insurance Investigations, extended
into corporate management generally and
ended with probing our street railways.
Mr.. Roosevelt very properly chiefly con-
cerned himself with the latter causes of
distrust. For this he has been quite as
unjusty criticised as would the surgeon
for cutting out cancer from his sick
patient While the causes of the panic
were chiefly economic, corruptive influ-
ences were largely responsible for hasten
ing the breakdown; and President Roose-
velt's aggressive policy, though probably
disturbing at times of extreme sensitive
ness, will do more toward restoring
American credit at home and abroad than
any other single influence.
