DON'T BE BALD
One OF Our Readers Tells How She OBJ
tanned a Marvellous Growth of New
Hair by the Use of Simple Home
Remedy After Hair Specialists
and Tonics Had All Failed

I lad what most people would call a
beautiful head of golden hair priced
1t most highly, as 1 considered 1t my
chief attraction. Suddenly 1t began to
come out very rapidly, and at times
had intense itching of the scalp. Ply
sicians and hair specialists said my case
was one of dandruff germs. hair mi
crobes. etc. but nothing that they gave
me did the slightest good. On the con-
trary, my hair seemed to come out even
faster and / was now fearful lest
should become entirely bald. In my
despair friend told me of an Ecuador
herb which he said would positively
grow hair on any head where the hair
roots were not entirely gone, and he
said the natives of the country where
it grew were famous for their beautiful
long hair Upon medical advice COM
bined this herb with Bay Rum and
Menthol Crystals and Immediately be-
gan it's use. In three applications 1t
entirely stopped the intense itching of
my scalp and in a very short time 1t
not only stopped my falling hair, but
noticed an abundance of new hair COM
ing in In less than one month my hair
was longer, thicker and more beautiful
than ever. All due to this marvellous
hair growing herb. A lady to whom
ter. and she says it made her hair grow
five inches in less than a month. Doc
tors to whom have shown 1t say 1t Is
the only thing which will actually grow
new hair, therefore / think the public
ought to have it. At first I thought
would keep 1t a secret and sell the Sc
cret, but when I think how 1 suffered
and how badly 1 needed 1t, and how
hundreds of others must need it the
same as did, I feel ought to give it
to the world.
Therefore, I authorize this paper to
publish the formula, which Is as fol-
lows: Bay Rum 6 OF. Lavona de Com
posee OF. Menthol Crystals DIR. To-
Kalon Perfume one to two teaspoonfuls.
Ask your druggist for an 8 OF. bottle
containing 6 OF. of Bay Rum, then put
in the Menthol Crystals and the Per-
fume Next add one-half of the bottle
of Lavona de Composee, let 1t stand six
to eight hours and add the remainder
of the Lavona de Compose. Always
buy the Lavona de Compose in two
or. sealed bottle, as this preparation
contains the juice of the Ecuador herb
mentioned above, and 1t loses its
strength If unsealed.
Apply the preparation night and
morning and rub well into the scalp. If
properly used 1t will soon produce most
astonishing results. Be careful not to
get il on the face or any part of the
body where you do not want to produce
hair.

1.-The Twenty-third of April

BY RICHARD WATSON GLIDER.
A little English earth and breathed air
Made Shakespeare the divine; so In
his verse
The brOidered soil of every blossom fair
So doth his song all sweet bird
songs rehearse.
But tell me, then, what wondrOus stuff
did fashion
+ That part of him which took those
wilding flights
Among imagined worlds; whence the
white passion
That burned three centuries through
the days and nights!
Not heavens four winds could make, nor
round the earth,
The soul wherefrom the soul of
Hamlet famed;
Not anything of merely mortal birth
Could tighten as when Shakespeare's
name is named.
How was his body bred we know full
we'll,
But that high souls engendering who
may tell!

New Use for Hanging Shelves

Many uses have been found for the
little oldfashioned bookcases" whlcn
were simply a set of hanging shelves
with or without sides. They nave
served to hold china, medicine, bric-a-
brac and dressmakers' materials. They
are now said to be ideal shoe cases.
One fastened to the wall Of young
woman's private bathroom has four
shelves at different heights. On the
lowest shelf are riding hunting and
walking boots. The next shelf is de-
voted to Oxfords for various occasions.
Above them are dainty evening shoes
and slippers. On the top shelf are
boxes and bottles holding sponges.

Seeing-the-Town Party

children's party played out of doors
was called 'Seeing-the-Town Trip"
says writer in Woman's Home Com
panion for April. "a large collection
of local postcards was pinned about
the lawn on the tree trun--s and other
places. The cards were numbered, and,
of course, the namesof the views were
cut off. The children were furnished
with pencils and paper and told to
travel around town and write down
what they saw. 1t was comical to
see how some of the most familiar
scenes puzzled them. The prizes We're

nae ELurEs on sPRINo

The flutes of spring are all in tune
And playing everywhere
oh. crystal-clear and ripple-toned
They sound along the air.
The long arpeggios of the sun
Sweep over hill and plain,
And in the misty valleys sound
The runs and trills of rain.
wild melodies of strolling winds
Go swift across the sky.
The young-leafed wood is loud with Calls
Where nesting robins fly.
Some spirit roams upon the earth,
New born. wing sandaled, free,
And for him, where he strays, the hutes
Pour out their melody.
Then listen to the tune of them
That play at Aprirs birth,
whose call is to the waking heart
From the deep soul of earth.

one day he was sitting in the chair OF
one of the doorkeepers, at the east en-

visitor came up. Digging card out OF
his case, the man, assuming that the
representative was a doorkeeper, said;

Hedge promptly while the doorkeepers
who were standing by exploded Ten

The man came UP with the dime, and
Hedge went in and sent out the man

SUGGESTIONS IN PACKING

Every delicate garment should be
wrapped separately.
For this towels or sheets OF tissue
paper will serve, but they should be
pinned into place.
Folds of newspapers should be placed
between the layers of. the more per-
ishable things.
The newspaper is very good, because
it is so unyielding that wrinkles and
bumps cannot dent it enough to mark
the fabric beneath
1t is useless to try and keep all the
heavy things at the bottom, the light
ones at the top. The trunk will prob
ably be stood on end or upsidet down
half of the time.
All one can do is to keep a smooth,
even surface for each layer.
Newspapers are better than anything
else for stuffing out bows and sleeves
/" Tie in bottle corks we'll. and put
the bottles in the middle of compart-
ments, and if packed solidly they will
carry all around the world.

A CRADLE SONG

Sing mother bird in your leafy nest

Leave the nest empty, lonesome and bare
Idle and useless twill swing and swing
Sing. little mother bird. sing. =
Mother arms cradle the babe you love,
Groom to it. soft and low.
While the stars twinkle their watch above
Sing to it softly-so.

Leaving your love stories half untold;
Cradle IT gently-so soon it will CO.

THE COOK-PEARY CONTROVERSY.

In view Of the different views taken
by different newspapers OF Interviews
with various persons ana differing
versions Of one and the same state
ment in many instances, tho contro-
versy between Or. Cook and Comman-
der Peary has plainly reachcd point
where It Is an extremely difficult mat
leT for any person to state definitely
F1hat has been said by anybody. IN
Suoting DR. Cooks interview even the
knw YORK newspapers differ so radi-
cally as to make almost contradc-
tory statements OF what he said in
addressing all the reporters together.
IT is fair to assume that the same
thing has been true OF the correspon-
dents who have quoted Commander
Peary. In particular the New York
Times champions Peary. while tho
New York Herald supports DR.. Cook
and publishes his statements In ex-
elusive form. Under these circum-
stances the only reasonable thing is
