Peril In the Hair Lotions.

Judge Quailes of Milwaukee has

Some of the re torsIs and dyes con
tain chemicals which may be taken
into the system through the pores OF
the scalp with toxic results. In
Mary Gardens case the poison shat
tered her nerve, attacking particularly
those OF the eyes. Physicians state
that the trouble Is not new. Others
have been afflicted in the same way
who we're not so we'll known as the
young opera star and did not gain
publicity for their misfortune.
II women will persist In using the
proprietary articles for dying or re-
storing the hair, they, at least, ought
to know the danger that they may
exercise care In what they use and
how freely they use it. There are, of
course, a number OF "tonics" put up
by reputable firms and consisting
largely of alohohol, that are harmless,
whether they do much good or not.
Judge Quarles has indicated the
way to induce chemists not to put
harmless preparations on the market,
or, at any rate, to advertise the dan.
gerous ones. II people think there is
a chance to recover damages they will
sue and the public will learn of their
experience.

The Goruons,

The Gorgons were creatures of Greek
mythology, mentioned by Homer and
Euripides as being of peculiarly abhor
rent aspect. Their hair was composed
of serpents, their bodies covered with
scales and girdled with reptiles with
heads erect, vibrating their tongues
threateningly, while the hands Of the
Gorgons, adorned with sharp talons,
were Of brass. The gaze Of the mon
sters was deadly, all upon whom they
fixed their eyes being turned to stone.
One of the three terrible sisters was
conquered and beheaded by Perseus.
and as he took flight in the air en- route
for Ethiopia, holding the severed head
In his hands, the drops of blood which
fell from it became serpents, which
ever after infested the sands of Lydia.

FIGHTS A DUEL
WITH BOWIE KNIVES
Pstton Home, Portland Ore.


July q, 1909.
Editor Glaeier--I mail today the
Vernon County Censor to you that
has an article wrote about the Con
gressman that offered to fight due
with Bowie knives. l know my
statement about the size of the knife
presented to Potter is true. Yester
day an old friend from Wisconsin
called to see me. He remem bered
the incident of the length OF the
knife. Note what the editor says
about it. ! ask you to publish that
article OF you think 1t best.
Charles Walters.
Editor Censor: In my lonely exile
here for the last two years and seven
months the Censor has been of vast
satisfaction to me In its weekly Wis
its. In nearly every number there 10
something that takes me lack to
early days In Wisconsin. Looking
backwards" / see public men; many
of them | knew personally, others by
their public acts. OF the latter
wish to notice one, as l think the
stand he took had its desired effect.
That man was John +. Potter, a Wis
consin Congressman. Charles Sum
ner, United States senator from
Massachusetts,, during the terrible
times Of few years before the Civil
war had offended the fire eaters"
of the south and Mr.. Brooks, mem
ber of the lower house from South
Carolina, assaulted Sumner In the
senate chamber and beat him with o
cane. Brooks resigned his seat to
keep from being expelled: went
home and was elected to I'LL the place
he vacated. Our Congressman Potter
had something to cay about the bully
ing way the south was doing, that
offended Mr.. Pryor, member OF the
house from South Carolina, 1 think,
who challenged Potter to fight him
duel. By the Southern code OF honor
Potter, as the challenged man, was
permitted to name the weapons Of
combat, and he made choice OF bowie
knives, and the two were put In
dark room by their seconds, alone.
Pryor made quite fuss about il
that it was not manly, that IL was
like savages and not according to the
southern code, at least he would not
accept Potter's terms.
When this was going on neither
Potter nor Pryor was at roll call. A
Dutchman, who afterwards was the
war governor of Pennsylvania, when
Pryors name was called, answered
Hes gone to become as clay In the |
Potter's hands," When potter's
name was called the Dutchman an
swered "He's got Pryor engage.
ment. Inese remarks oonvulsed the |
house In merriment and was told |
about In many papers OF the north.
Soon after this transpired the
friends of Potter presented 10 him a |
huge bowie knife, just the length OF |
him, six feet and some inches, costing
many dollars, and Potter priced 1t
very highly. | think II Ia kept by
some of his family to remember that
he as representative OF the anti.
llave power, was willing to meet IL

the order OF a debate with Oliver w.

real debate because the men were to
speak only once, but before Mr.. Dar-
row had fairly launched his argument
against prohibition more than a score
OF his hearers began assailing his doc

of informal discussion.
