OUR CORNER
WHERE HAIR is BOUGHT.

TTy HEN a girl blessed with a wealth
W. of the Shakespearean crown
ing glory" wishes to sacrifice
her flowing locks, she had better cross
the seas to Germany. A"
In the lower German Spreewald there
is a famous market for human hair,
supplied almost entirely by peasant
girls, especially those between the ages
of II and IS. The industry is carried or
chiefly by old women, who, with a
sample of the sort desired, set out
among the Spreewald peasants and
tempt the girls. or. rather, the parents,
to. give them what they. seek. The rea-
son for the selection Of girls. of the age
mentioned is that. they are young
enough to have perhaps a second or
even third Crop" of hair to reward
other journeyNags into the region. The
sum usually paid for a crop ranges
thickness and length.
There is an understanding arnong the
women in the nature of a trust" to
keep down prices among the peasants
as much as possible.
These woman go to a town or village
and stop at The chief tavern. whence
the news of their arrival quickly
spreads, and girls soon appear. in long
lines. under the care of mothers OF
other relatives. Brides are the easiest
victims, for the sum received is a
very material aid, in the establishment
of a new peasant household.

Charles Moss. an ardent admirer of
Miss Bertha Randell, who is stricken by
scarlet fever. was merely counting un-

At first it was reported that a TON

Charlie Moss talking from a slippery

have been allayed
A few DAYS 3 Miss Randell was
stricken with scarlet fever while at the
home of her sister, and the Board of
Health Immediately quarantined the
house. Young Moss learned that the
girl wa confined in a second story
room, the window of which is over the
rear shed, and, waiting until every.
thing was quiet, Charlie secured a lad
der and climbed to the roof. and then
on his hands and knees quietly forced
his way along On the slippery shingles
to the window. where he succeeded in
making his identity known to. the girl.
The nights being rather warm for this
time OF the year, Charles seems to be
in no hurry to leave his perch.

EDUCATION OF PEOPLE
IN PREVENTIVE MEANS
Important Work Mapped Out
for Combat on Disease
in Newark.

Considerable progress was made by
the education committee Of the tuber-
culosis committee Of 100 yesterday
afternoon in its work of drafting plans
for the war upon the white plague.
The meeting was held at the Office OF
Charles Grant Ellsworth, thc chair
man, and he and the Rev. Isaac r.
Whelan, G. Wisner Thorne, Wilson j.
Vance and Rabbi solomon Foster, the
secretary, were present.
Two representatives OF the Newark
Typographical Union said their union
was willing to assist the committee in
giving a public tuberculosis exhibit,
and told of the work the union Is do
ing in typesetting rooms to prevent
the spread of germs of the disease.
Father Whelan suggested that the
printers interest other labor unions in
the campaign against tuberculosis, SO
that labor people may be easilyireached
in their homes.
A resolution was adopted that New
ark Typographical Union and other
labor. organizations be invited to assist
in the work of the general committee,
especially in arranging for a public
tuberculosis exhibit here. Secretary
Foster reported that the New Jersey
Association fer the Prevention and
Relief of Tuberculosis has a fine ex-
hibit n will cooperate in the pro-
posed Newark exposition.
Father Whelan, in behalf of a special
committee appointed at the organization
meeting, reported that it was decided to
issue a printed circular for distribution
by the general committee and it's execu-
tive committee to schools. Institutions
and in every home where there is a
patient, the circular to treat of how to
avoid consumption and to combat the
disease.
1t was voted that a subcommittee on
legislation be appointed to examine
existing laws relating to tuberculosis, so
they may be amended. and that careful
attention be given to new bills brought
up in the Legislature. 1t was also voted
to suggest that the executive committee
employ a secretary, who shall give all
his time to the tuberculosis work,
which, it is already seen, will be heavy
for the several committees of the gen
eral committee.
A suggestion by Mr.. Thorne was
adopted that the Board of Health be re-
quested to strictly enforce all laws and
ordinances relating to tuberculosis; also
that physicians report to the board each
patient, and that a record be kept of the
condition of every patient, .

ECZEMA CURED IN SIMPLE WAY.
No More Dosing the stOmBch--Curc the
skin Through the skin,

When you have A scratch on your
hand you wash il out and cleanse it and
then the skin cures itself.
The best skin specialists today are
agreed that the only way to cure the
skin is through the skin. For statistics
show that nearly all eczema sufferers
are perfectly healthy in all other ways
except as to their. skin. And If the &C.
zema patients were really suffering
from an internal malady, the entire
body and not only h skin would be
diseased.
You can prove Immediately the relief
of a true skin cure by using oil of win
tergreen as compounded in d. D.. ID.
Prescription. This liquid kills h dis
ease germs. while toning up the healthy
part of the skin.
We have now handled this meritori-
Gus and thoroughly scientific remedy
for SO long and have seen it's reliable
results so many times that we freely
express our confidence.
