PHYSICIANS AGREE THAT THE
LENGTH OF HAIR Can BE En-
Outraged BUT THAT THERE is
NO CURE FOR THE DISEASE OF
BADNESS.

It is a wel1-known ract that more
charlatanism is rampant today on the
subject of the scalp and hair than ex-
lists concerning any other subject. ex-
cepting, perhaps, consumption. DR..
Mott says: among the thousands of
cases that have passed under my in
spection, I have seen but very few au-
thenticated instances where badness
has been successfully treated; of
course, if there was among the patent
medicines anything that would accom-
plish the result we. wou'5 know of 1t
and would at least try it. So far as
restoring hair to color or promoting
the length of the hair. that's another
matter. The Q-Ban Hair Restorer,
for instance, will restore gray hair to
its natural color. I have used the G
Ban Hair Tonic as well, very often and
effectually to encourage the growth of
a luxuriant crop of hair-to remove
dandruff. etc, but have as yet to rec
ord single case of badness that has
been effectually treated, without hav-
ing to resort to general hygienic
treatment in connection with standard
products, like, for instance, Q-Ban
Hair Restorer and the Hair Tonic.
1 have found them to be very effectual
assistants. DR.. Mott admits and insists
that to produce a luxuriant growth of
hair, to restore gray hairs, cure dand-
ruff and diseased scalps is quite pos
sible by simply observing the laws of
health and using Q-Ban Hair Restor-
as a rule, no cure; although some re-
markable exceptions may be noted.
Q-Ban Restorer and Tonic can be
had now at all druggists. put up ready
for use with full directions given as
to the application
If you are gray haired or becom-
ing gray, you can have the first full
sized SO cent package of Hair Restor-
er by simply mailing your address and
IL cents in postage to Hessig- Ellis
Drug Company, Memphis, Tenn, or
call at either of Marshall Bros drug
stores, 1875 Kansas avenue, and SIS
Kansas avenue.

Escape Mob 'Black Friday"


New York, May 21.-The famous old
Grand opera house at Twenty-th third
street and Eighth avenue, has been sold
by the executors of the Jay Gould es-
tate to a company specially formed to
purchase it, for a stated value of 1
million dollars.
Many memories of Jay Gould and
Jim" Fisk and incidents of the late
sixties and early seventies are linked
with the famous theater. 1t was here
that Jay Gould and Fisk took refuge
from the mobs on BLACK Friday in
1873. In the building is vault of heavy
masonry extending from the basement
to the roof, the floors of which are
reached by a narrow circular stairway
in the stones. Fisk said that he and
Mr.. Gould concealed themselves in this
vault when the Infatuated crowd at
tackled their offices in Wall street.
One of the boxes in the theater is
known as the Gould box and is kept
locked 1t seats from 20 to 80 persons
but has never been occupied except by
members of the Gould family.

From QueensborOugh Bridge.

New York. May 21.-After an all-day
investigation the police declared last
night that young Albert House of
Brooklyn did not jump from the new
Queensborough bridge as he claimed to
have done and for which he was ar
rested and held by the court in $500
bail to keep the peace for six months.
Police Captain Coleman, whose detec-
tives spent many hours last night on
the case. said that he had evidence that
House was in a motor boat under the
bridge while persons threw a dummy
from the roadway. Passing boats saw
a figure drawn from the water by the
motor launch which House had pre-
viously retained and when they came
alongside they saw House ON deck
dripping wet. The police say the
dummy which had made the 135 foot
dive to the river was concealed in the
launch's cabin.

Good Remedy for ROup.

To the Editor: Some Of my hick
ems are getting blind. Something like
jelly comes over their " When [
wash them with warm water it comes
on again. Some Of them seem to
starve. Will 0 tell me what the
~ is?
Diseases in poultry are not easy to
recognize and it is often difficult to
tell Just which disease certain symp-
toms belong to from written descrip-
tons. but from Your description your
fowls seem to be affected With the
rOup
Very bad old often have many
symptoms in common with rOup, with
the exception that real rOuD is always
accompanied by q foul o0Or.
If You detect the odor and ascertain
positively that they have roup, refnove
every sick chicken from the flock at
once. Kill all the very sick birds and
burn them to prevent c~OntagiOn. Clean
up the yards n buildings, using
freely q good non~-poisonous disin-
f%ectant, like creOin. One teaspoon in
q ten-uuart bucket Of drinking water
is a good remedy.
The discharge can be dried up by
using equal parts creOlin and water,
ing the nostrils. For bathing the eyes
use a little more water and apply with
a bit of absorbent cotton twisted about
the end of q tOOthpick.
If the disease is taken in hand early
it can frequently be samped out by
using a creolin spray Mix one tea
spoonful Of pure creolin in a gallon Of
water and spray the solution abou
the poultry houses after the birds have
gone to rOost. Spray it about the
heads Of the chickens so hat they
may inhale the yapOr.
1t will cause a good deal of cough
ing and sneezirg. This treatment
every night for two weeks will cure
many stubborn catarrhal colds and
frequently cure mild eases Of roup.
An effective remedy for rOup is q
tablespoonful of clear lard, half a
tablespoonful each Of vinegar. cayenne
pepper and ~n1ustard; mix we'll together
and d flour until the consistency of
dough; roll into Slugs about the size
OF a pea and put one down the pa
TENTS throat, repeating the lose in
twelve hours if necessary. One dose
will sometimes cure q mild attack.
Spirits of turpentine, one part with
six parts glycerine. makes a good rour
lotion. Using it for bathing the face
and eyes, for injecting into the nostrils
and for %swabbing the throat.

whether the top is gable or fiat, pro-

This cover should telescope not only
over the super, but over any portion Of
the hive. I have never adopted the
cheaper way of making a hive cap Of
the same size as the body. Our CAPS
are all made larger than the bodies
and telescope on them in the old way.
The hive is a little more expensive,
but we have had a better fit and a
much better protection against rob
bers, moths, cold. etc. An open joint
will do in the summer, but in other
seasons, especially in the spring, we
want q Well-clOSed cover.

all Of the papers of the State to pub
fish the following letter:
L. The crop and the management
of the farm this year, not Of next
year, will be reported in the census as
it will be taken before the crop Of
1910 is produced.
1t is important, therefore, for those
who desire to make anything like an
accurate repOrt to pay attention to
these matters this year. Besides the
regular farm work, you will be asked
to report numbe of cords of wood
consumed by family or farm hands,
pounds of butter, value of poultry and
Eggs, etc.
l give this notice in order to aid
in getting an accurate report as pos
Sible of agricultural matters.
2. I wish every farmer who raises
corn and desires to improve his seed
would plant six of his best ears in
six paralleied rOws. A bulletin on
producing and selecting seed will be
published in July by the apartment
