LATEST THEORY OF BADNESS.
Caused by Tight-Fiiting Hats Which Inc
Men Wear.

Whv do men have bald heads? Sur
peon J. O. Cobb, of the United States
0ublic Health and Marine Hospital
Service, says that the sole reason for
bald heads is found in the construct
ing bands of mems hats. Badness,
says this expert on the pate, is not
caused by dandruff, by parasites, or
by anything except the lack of cir
culation caused by tight hat band.
In the New York Medical Journal
DR.. Cobbs says:
eff mans head is very wide, or
if he is very prominent fore and aft,
that man will become bald in time,
because such person, to make his
hat fit snugly, invariably pulls it
down tight. The man with low brow
and thick, heavy hair rarely is bald.
If one wears the hair long and thick,
it acts as cushion and prevents in a
large measure the construction caus-
ed by the hat band"
The moral is plain: Either wear
your hair long, SO as to give your
head breathing space, or ify our hair
is scant or short, discard your hat
and give the air and the sunlight
chance. The savages who go bare
headed do not 60 baldheaded. They
seem to bear out DR.. Cobb's theory.
The men who go around all day with
their hats tightly clapped on their
heads have few hairs to show when
they reach 35 or 40.
Keep your hat off whenever you
can, and keep your hair. In the
North the number of hatless young
men is constantly increasing, and the
custom, especially during the hot
summer season, of going about bare
headed is rapidly increasing. In the
South during this same heated sea-
son it is even more imperative that
hats be discarded as much as posi-
BILE, or entirely. With fewer hats
we shall soon have fewer bald heads.
And bald heads are not popular even
among those who possess them. -

CAUSE and EFFECT.
So Long as MGrdcPerS Are Turned

Game Grow Worse.

As the failure of juries to convict
man-sIayers has vastly increased the
number of murderers in this State,so
the tendency to hush-up stories of
defalcations, and drop prosecu-
tons when stolen money is made
good, is increasing to an alarming

is notorious fact, as shown by sta
tistics, that homicides in this coun-
try, taking it as a whole, have be-
come so numerous as to place the
United States on the bad eminence
of being with one lone exception, the
most criminal of the worlds civilized
nations; while defalcations, embezzle-
ments and betrayals Of trust are in
creasing with a rapidity nothing
short Of alarming. Equally notori
Gus is it that, in neither case, is more
than a small percentage of the guilty
convicted, and even where convic-
tons are secured but rarely is the
punishment inflicted in any wise
commensurate with the enormity of
the offense. The taker of life, if a
person of means, influence and prom
inence, generally is called upon to
pay no other penalty than the public
ity of trial and the fat fees of ex-

out publicity or prosecution, provid

are willing to make good their de-
falcations or shortages.

the uncertainty and delays attaching
to the enforcement of the law, is
largely one of cause and effect is SO
logically apparent and so generally
admitted as hardly to admit of argu-

Sand.

road yards one day,
1t was waiting in the roundhouse,
where the locomotives stay;
1t was painting for the journey, 1t

And it had box the fireman was
filling full of sand.
1t seems that locomotives cannot al

On their slender iron pavement, cause
the wheels are apt to slip,
And when they reach slippery spot
their tactics they command
And to get grip upon the rail they
sprinkle it with sand.
If your track is steep and billy, and
you have a heavy grade,
And if those who've gone before you
have the rails quite slippery made
If you ever reach the summit of the
upper tdDleldIlu,
You'll find you'll have to do it with a
liberal use of sand.
If you strike some frgid weather and
discover to your cost
That you're liable to slip on heavy
coat of frost,
Then some prompt, decided action
will be called into demand,
And you'll slide clear to the bottom
if you haven't any sand.
You can get to any station that is on
life's schedule seen
If there's fire beneath the boiler of
ambitions strong machine,
And you'll reach place called Rich

If at all the slippery places you'vea

Use Hay Caps.

An eastern farmer, who has used
hay caps for several years says he
has saved the cost of the caps in
single season, while they are good
for number of years if properly
handled. He uses heavy unbleached
cotton cloth As inches wide, and cut
in squares. This cloth may be made
water proof and durable by dipping
it into good raw linseed oil, or paint
ing it with mixture of three pints
Of this oil with one onuce sugar of
lead and four ounces white resin;
heat together in an iron kettle and
apply hot with a wide brush. The
caps are held in place by pins foot
long passed through loops in the
corners of the cloth, into shock Of
oats or hay.
Among the advantage of the hay
caps are that they allow you to cut
without reference to the weather, and
save the crop in good condition, no
matter how long the rains continue.
One farmer testifies that his hay pro
tected by the caps, was worth on
the average one or two dollars a ton
more than his neighbours hay that
was not capped. Others say that
they often pay more than their cost
in one season, by the increased value
of the protected hay over what it
would have been worth if left to take
the rain. Indiana Farmer.

these are, for instance: Extreme

Mrs. Siddons' Opinion Of David Garrick
and Spranoer Barry.

Mrs. SIddon5' opinion CT DAVID GarTick
and Spranger Barry.
David Garrick and Spranger Barry
were both playing Romeo at the same
time in London. Barry played it at
Drury Lane on the Monday. and Gar
rick played it the next night at Covent
Garden. and the town was divided as
to which was the greater Romeo-in
fact, there was quite a great excite.
ment about it, and they acted it upon
such different lines and with such mar
velously different conceptions that the
people argued the case as to which
Shakespeare intended. The fact is that
Shakespeare intended 1t to be acted
we'll. and If one mans temperament
suited it best to act in that way 1t
would do for another temperament the
other way.
So they asked Mrs. Siddons, who was
the Juliet alternately with the same
Romeo. which she considered better OF
the two. and she said:
''It is difficult to say. They are both
wonderfully great. but I will tell you
how they impress me in the balcony
scene In the balcony scene Garrick
seems so eager, so intense and so full
Of fire and spirit that I'm afraid he'll
jump up in the balcony to me, and Bar
ry is so lovable and fascinating that
I'm afraid shall have to jump down
from the balcony to him."

WHILE it is somewhat early to
mention the officers to be elected
at the April election, it is per-
haps we'll to prepare for it. Two
county officers will have to be
elected as we'll as a state officer.
The term of State Superinten-
dent G. P. Cary will expire on
the first Monday in July 1909,
and a successor will have to be
elected in April. The term of
Miss Jessie N. Smith as County
Superintendent will end on the
same day and the term OF County
Judge VIM. HI. Irish will termi-
nate on the first Monday in Jan
nary next. His successor is al
so to be elected this spring. The
opinion of the TIMES can be ex-
pressed in very few words. We
favor the reelection of all of these
officers. Mr.. Cary has served
the state well, he has grown into
the office during the past three
or four years, as the work and re-
sponsihilities of the position have
increased in Importance. While
those who aspire to the position
may be we'll equipped as he is
they lack the experience and the
State of Wisconsin cannot afford
to ''swap horses in the middle of
the stream. The same can be
said of Miss Smith, there is no
more reason why Miss Smith
should be retired than there is
for the retirement Of Mr.. Cary.
The work of Judge Irish need
not be mentioned. Not in the
whole State of Wisconsin can be
found an office which the duties
are so we'll attended to as that OF
the county Judge in this county.
He will surely have no opposition
in the coming election.
