 Famine in the Northwest.

Nc lour is being made in the 23 mills: No flour can leave Minneapolis while Jhe railroads are crippled IL was said nat the entire country would feel the pinch before the trouble is settled.
 There is, besides this, coal famine n the West; the grain situation is 2ritical and dozen other industries are hit hard by the strike.
 The entire network of steel from St. Paul to Seattle is tied up. and not a freight train Is running, according to reports received. The carrying of penshable freight on passenger trains heretofore allowed by the switchmen. ceases. An attempt by the American Railroad association to replace the strikers with non-union men will bring about strike that will affect all branches of railroads. and cripple the entire nation, acordlng to President crank T. Howley of the union.
 Of the switchmen 2,276 are out twelve thousand other workmen are idie as the result of the strike. Ter housand more will be thrown out of employment when the ore docks al Duluth and Superior close down. Five housand are idle at Great Falls. Mont. where the copper smelters are closed

JUDGE BYRNE ExONERATED
Court Finds Jurist Did What Was Best
 for Community.

Texarkans, Dee. 2 - Judge Byrne, who created something ci stir about three weeks ago 0y leaving home at night and going iuto camp in Red river bottom 20 mics from home, while suffer ing from varioloid, was tried yes terday h the police court on a charge of violating the quaran- tine regulations of the Board oi Health.
 It was alleged that the j1dge left home after trying in vain to secure permission to do so from the Board of Health. The testi- mony at the hearing, however, showed that, while the members of the Board of Health had de- clined to give formal permission. they had told the judge that they thought it would be the best thing he could do for the protection ot his family, as we'll as the loca public.
 Ia rendering his decision, which was withheld until this morning, Judge Smither ruled that the judge had been given tacit permission to go by the Board of Health, as shown by the testimony; that he had acted for the best interests of the commun. :ty, as we'll as his family, and consequently was not guilty of auy violation of the law.

HOW MADE
MY HAIR GROW
Woman with M~arvelOusly Beautiful
Hair Gives Simple Home PrescTtps
ton Which She Used with Most
Remarkable Results.

was grfeatly troubled with dandruff
and falling hair. l tried many advertised
hair preparations and various prescriptions,
but they all signally failed; many OF them
made my hair greasy, so 1t was impossible
to comb II or do 1t up properly. 1 think that
many of the things / tried were positively
Injurious, and from my own experience |
cannot too strongly caution you against
using preparations containing wood alcohol
and other poisonous substances. | believe
they injure the roots OF the hair. After
my long list of failures l finally found
a simple prescription which l used with
most remarkable results, and l can unhesi-
tatingly state that It Is beyond doubt the
most wonderful thing for the hair l have
ever seen. Many Of my friends have also
used II and obtained wonderful stimulant TO
the growth of the hair and for restoring
gray hair TO its natural color, tbut 1t is
equally good for removing dandruff, giving
the hair life and brilliancy, etc, and for
the purpose OF keeping the scalp in first
class condition; II also makes the hair
much easier to comb and arrange in nice
form. / have a friend who used it two
months, and during that time II not only
stopped the falling of his hair and wonder
fully increased it's growth, but 1t practically
stored all his gray hair to It's natural color.
You can obtain the ingredients for making
this wonderful preparation from almost
any druggist. The prescription is as follows
Bay hum, 8 ozs,; Menthol crystals, one
half drachm; Lavona de Compose, 2 ozs,
To-Ka.on perfume, l to 2 teaspoonfuls,
Apply night and morning; rub thoroughly
into the scalp.
Go to your druggist and ask for an eight
ounce bottle containing six ounces OF bay
rum also one-half drachm of Menthol
crystals, and for a two-ounoe bottle OF La
Vona de Compose. Mix the ingredients
yourself in your own home. Add the Men
thol crystals to the bay rum and then pour
Lavona de Compose, and add the To-Ka-
lon perfume. Let It stand for one-half
hour and It Is ready for use.
