IN A CHEERFUL WAY. Down lifes road we'll bravely march, Through all kinds of weather; What though grief and happiness Often go together, We'll not mind the shadow days And the nights of gloom If we have for memory Just one day of bloom! Down life's road, where'er 1t leads Still undaunted going. We'll make friends with hckle fate, Thorns and roses strewing. What though tears there'I be to shed. Sorrows vigil keeping. Joy shall reign where trouble ruled, Smiles shall follow weeping

THE SOLID SOUTH

turing its own raw products of cotton, iron, coal, lumber commercial fertilizer and various other products, and, some of these manufactured products are being placed in the markets of the world as never before. Its railroad mileage and transportation facilities are being stead- fly enlarged and extended; it's lands are increasing in amount and variety of pro- ducts and in value; it's population is be- coming less provincial, more educated, more ambitious, and is growing moro and more to grasp and appreciate the in- estimable value to them of this great national government in directing the ed- ucation of the people toward the accom- plishment of all the arts of industry. in maintaining peace at home and abroad, In maintaining the national dignity and in preserving the general welfare.
 It was essential that the south should remain solid so long as it was settling the vital question of it's right to main- tain a white mans government. That question having been settled, and set- tied, as I believe, forever in it's favor, is there any further reason or neces- sty for it's remaining solid? Is there reason or necessity for the contention that each southern state should continue to vote for the democratic nominee for the presidency because of past conflicts and conditions, and regardless of present questions? Or, to put it another way, shall the solid electoral vote of the south continue indefinitely to be cast practice ally by and for the man who receives the democratic nomination for the pres- idency? I propound the question now be- cause of MT. Taft's well known atti- tude toward the south and because, ap- parently, the south has nothing further to fear from the politicians of the north. If these conditions continue will the solid south dissolve, and how soon?

HOW | MADE
MY HAIR GROW
Weman With MarvelOusIy Beautiful Hair
Gives Simple Home Prescription
Which She Used With Most
Remarkable Results.

I was greatly troubled with dandruff and
falling hair. 1 tried many advertised hair
preparations and various prescriptions, but
they all signally failed many Of them made
my hair greasy so it was impossible to comb
it or do it up properly. 1 think that many
of the things 1 tried were positively injuri-
Gus, and from my own experience 1 cannot
too strongly caution you against using prep
arations containing wood alcohol and other
poisonous substances. 1 believe they injure
the roots Of the hair. After my long list of
failures I finally found a simple prescrip-
ton which 1 used with most remarkable re-
suits and l can unhesitatingly state that it
is beyond doubt the most wonderful thing
for the hair have ever seen. Many of my
friends have also used it and obtained won
derful effects therefrom. 1t not only is a
powerful stimulant to the growth of the
hair, and for restoring gray hair to its
natural color, but it is equally good for
moving dandruff, giving the hair Life and
brilliancy, ETC., and for the purpose of keep
ing the scalp in first class condition. 1t also
makes the hair much easier to comb and ar
range in nice form. I have a friend who
used it two months and during that time it
wonderfully increasing its growth, but it
practically restored all of his gray hair to
its natural color. You obtain the in
gradients for making this wonderful prepar-
alton from almost any druggist. The pre-
scription is as follows:
Bay rum, o.; Menthol crystals one-half
drachm; Lavona de Compose, o.; To-
Kalon perfume, 1 to 2 teaspoonfuls.
Apply night and morning; rub thoroughly
into the scalp.
Go to your druggist and ask for the eight
ounce bottle containing six ounces of Bay
Rum, also one-half drachm of Menthol crys-
tails. and for a two-ounce bottle of Lavona
de Compose Mix the ingredients yourself
at your own home. Add the Menthol crys-
tails to the Bay Rum and then pour in the
Lavona de Compose and add the To-Kalon
perfume. Let it stand for one-half hour
and it is ready to

TO EXTERMINATE INSECTS
ON ALL TREES OF COUNTY

An inspection of all trees in Los An
geles county has been begun by the
county board of horticultural commits
sioners and will be continued six
months.
Every tree, plant and shrub sus-
pected of being infested with insects
will be inspected and horticultural in
terests will be protected from insect
invasions without regard to cost. A
crew of four inspectors is at work and
fumigating outfits will follow in their
footsteps. The fumigating will be done
at actual cost, which will run from 80
to rs cents a tree, according to size.
All city parks and cemeteries will re-
ceive especial attention.
After inspections are made ten days
are given the owners of trees in which
to exterminate any pests. If the work
is not done in that time the board is
given the right by state ordinance to
abate the evil and will do so with it's
own outfit, which will not entail any
extra expense to the tree owners. The
owners will be expected to pay for the
work, and failure to do so will lead to
the property being sold to satisfy the
claim, after the usual legal proceed
ings.

TN HE fourth concert in the brilliant
series which the Nowland-Hunter
"A Trio are giving occurred last night.
Despite the rain, the audience
filed Symphony hall, and exhibited
the kenest delight in the program.
The unity of expression and the per-
feet blending of Municipalities of these
players has already been commented
upon, in this paper.
Last night these characteristics were
noted even more than usual on ac-
count of the two magnificently bril-
liant selections included in the pro-
gram.
Frederick S. Gutterson and Fordyce
Hunter gave a spirited rendering of
the Rubenstein sonata in D major,
played for the first time publicly in Los
Angeles Mr. Gutterson is a most
virile player and he displayed a fine
bravoura quality in his playing which
was specially grateful after the soul
full, dreamy cello players, the average
concert offers. In this Rubenstein
tonal quality somewhat to secure the
desired brilliance of execution espe-
cially in the second and third numbers.
He more than recouped himself for
this however in the Arensky trio, when
his tone in the Elegia (adagio) was
marvelously pure and liquid.
Mr.. Hunters ability as a pianist of
distinction appeared once more last
night and the audience was most
spontaneous in evincing approval of
his work
Mr.. Rowland is an artist of the finest
perceptions. His reading of the Bee
thoVen trio, the opening number was
quite as clear cut and fine as the lines
Of a magnificent cameo. The prevalent
60 fic,+in cf1.aiT inf coz m
made itself felt by these musicians as
we'll as by many Of the leading actors
and singers of the stage today. How
ever desirable this quality may be in
moderation, it can be overdone, when
it reduces the artistic flights to mere
painstaking walk.
Two more of these concerts are an
nounced for this season, February 8
and March s, and the artists must feel
gratified at the increasing interest in
their work which was demonstrated
last night both by the large audience
and by the discriminating applause
which greeted the selections.
The program follows: Trio-E fiat
major, opera 1 No. 1, Beethoven-(a)
allegro, (b) adagio cantabile, (c) scher-
20, Cd presto. Sonata-D major, Rub
enstein-(a) ellegro moderate, OBJ mod
erato assai, (c) moderate (firSt time in
Los Angeles), Messrs. Gutterson and
Hunter. Trio-D minor opera 30, Aren-
sky-(a) allegro moderate, (b) scherzo,
allegro motto, (c) elegia, adagio, I'D
allegro non troppo..
Mrs. Elizabeth Chamot, Mrs Alice
Dunn Fosdick, Miss Sarah A. Wafer
and Miss May A. Metzner, who are TO
take part in the concert given by Ri
cardo Succhisi at the Gamut audi
forum Friday night, arrived in Los

made the trip by automobile and came
down for the express purpose of assist
ing in the entertainment. which is to be
given for the benefit of the earthquake
sufferers of Italy.
