HYGIENE IN BARBER SHOPS
Stringent Municipal Government
Regulations in Germany Are
Rigidly Enforced.

The following report comes
from Consul General Guenther oil
Frankfort, Germany.
"In late years the hygienic re.
quirements with reference to bar
bers' shops have been greatly in.
creased, and it seems that they
are constantly becoming more Sc
we're. So far the authorities had
restricted the regulations to the
utensils, but lately the personal
cleanliness of the barber has
also been made the subject of mu.
nicipal legislation in Germany.
Recently the following rules have
heen established by the munich
pal government of a large German
city:
"The cutoff hair must at once be
removed; the floor of the shop
must be washed at least twice per
week; cold and hot running water
must be supplied, and the barber
must wash his hands with warm
water before attending to GUS
toner. No cretonne or carpets
are permitted in BARRIERS shops.
The headrests must be covered
for each customer with fresh
napkin of paper or linen. The EN-
ployes must wear clean, long up
per garments of light color with
out pockets. The soap used must
be in the form of powder or small
tablets.
"The lather from razors must
be removed by means of paper.
Instead of sponges, pieces of
wooden cloth or napkins have to be
used. Alum or magnesia can only
be used kept in a powder box. The
bowls and shaving brushes must
be cleaned each time after having
been used. Nobody is allowed to
be shaved suffering from a visible
skin disease, unless the proprietor
of the BARRIERS shop is convinced
that it is not contagious. Spon-
ges, powder puffs, magnesia, and
styptics in Jumps and revolving
brushes are prohibited. Scissors,
brushes and combs, as we'll as the
hair-cutting machines and razors,
must be cleaned with ammonia or
soda and an antiseptic solution.
AS antispetics, cylline, izal, and
chinosol are recommended"

Daughters Head Encrusted with
DandruH-Feared she Would Lose

BOTH CHILDREN CURED
BY FAMOUS REMEDIES

"For several years my husband was
o missionary in. the Southwest, and we
were living on the edge Of the desert at
y elevation Of nearly five thousand
net. Every one in that high and dry
atmosphere has more or less trouble
with dandrllff and my daughters scalp
became SO encrusted with It that / was
alarmed for fear she would lose all her
hair, which was very heavy. After
spending between five and six dollars
Tor various remedies, in desperation /
bought q cake of Cuticura Soap and
pox OF Cuticura Ointment. After rub
bing the Cuticura Ointment thoroughly
into the roots Of the hair, / gently
combed the crust of dandruf free from
the scalp, and then gave her head
thorough shampoo with the Cuticura
Soap. This left the scalp beautifully
clean and free from dandruff, and after
the hair was dry, again rubbed the
CvtiesEa Ointment, this time sparingly,
int tie roots. and am happy to say
that the Cuticura Remedies were q
complete success. My troubles with
dandruff were over, although for long
time afterward used the Cuticura
Ointment as at first, after shampooing,
which kept the scalp and roots Of the
hair moist. have used successfully
the Cuticura Remedies for so-called
milk-crust' on baby's head, and have
never found anything to equal them.

Diplomatic Conn iaclt IL jnl For
sign Countries are Always Scann-
ed by Government.


Although all the governments
deny 1t, there is not government
under which a cabinet noir does
not exist and has not existed since
letters were written. At Wash
ington, as at Berlin and London,
no correspondence of importance
escapes this administrative inqui-
sitiOn. In spite of all denials,
every government maintains
dark chamber in which letters are
opened and read before being sent
TO their destination, says a writer
in Success. In the turmoil pre-
liminary to the Spanish-American
war secretary of the Spanish le-
cation at Washington discovered
this to his cost. Without the cab
met noir the secret police could
hardly exist. Through it the chiefs
are enabled to spy upon their
agents, who are recruited in all
ranks of society and paid in pro
portion to their standing and serv-
ices. 1t is, however, in politics
and diplomacy that the cabinet
noir works most actively. Often
it is of supreme Importance for a
nation to know the instructions
sent to this ambassador or that,
and the contents of his dispatches.
OF course these Communications
are in cipher, but for the cabinet
noir there are no cryptographic
mysteries. Even cipher can be
read. Documents of very great i'm
portance are sent by diplomatic
couriers and "king's messengers"
but this is exceptional. In the pa.
pers which have thus been stolen,
read, copied, and preserved in the
secret archives of the various
states, lie the real history that |
will some day be written. Bunau-
Varilla's bakersfield away in
the cabinets hoirs of Paris and
Washington-will some day shed
a hooking light on the recent oc.
currences at Panama, and many
another historic event will take
on an unexpected color.

WALK, THE KEY TO SUCCESS
Don't SLOUGH, Don't wobble, Don't
Strut, If You Would Be q
Model for Others.

Look to your walk, says Sue.
cess. 1t has more to do with your
success or failure than you, per-
haps, dream Of. Don't SLOUGH.
Don't wabble. Don't shuttle.
Don't strut. Walk like a man who
is determined to play a mans part
in life, with head erect and feet
planted firmly on the ground.
One may see, on the streets of a
city, every day, many people who
are walking failures. There is not
the slightest energy in their move
ments. Their whole bearing gives
testimony of their weakness.
How do we know that they are
failures? Nothing is simpler.
There is subtle connection be.
tween the mind and the body. The
mental attitude is reflected in the
spontaneous movements of the
body, and you can very quickly
tell by mans walk and general
bearing whether his mind is alert,
his spirit progressive and earnest,
and his whole being full of life and
vigor and determination, or he is
a slipshod, lazy, lifeless creature.

Sash Worn In Front.

On some Of the very newest gowns
OF foulard and pongee sashes are worn
IN front, swinging free from the
gown at the waiIt line or just above
1t, and finished with deep silk fringe.
A handsome gewnzof black foulard,
with coin spot of white, was made
with draped surplice bodice and a
V-shaped yoke of cream-cokored net.
Outlining the V neck and edging the
draped bodice was trimming of mar
row embroidery on black net
One side of the surplice drapery
continued from the slightly raised
waistline and formed the sash, which
was also trimmed on the edge with
the narrow embroidery. The sash
hung well below the knees and was
edged with a deep black silk fringe.
