ARE MICROBES IN YOUR SCALP!
It Has Been Proved that Microbes Cause
Badness.

Professor Unna of Hamburg, Germany,
and DR.. Sabourand, the leading French
dermatologist, discovered that a microbe
causes badness. Their theory. has time
and again been amply verified through re-
search experiments carried on under the
observation of eminent scientists. This
microbe lodges in the Sebum, which is the
natural hair oil, and when permitted, to
flourish it destroys the hair follicles and in
time the pores entirely close, and the scalp
gradually takes on shiny appearance.
When this happens there is no hope OF the
growth Of hair being revived.
Dandruff is contagious disease, which
is largely due to a destructive microbe,
which when left to pursue it's course causes
itching scalp, falling hair and badness.
Dandruff Is caused by the microbe affect
ing the glands which produce the sebaceous
matter, which latter then unnaturally dries
up and scales of.
ly believe, remove. dandruff, eXterminate
the microbe, promote good circulation In
the scalp and around the hair roots, tight
en- and reyitalize the hair roots and over
come badness, so long as there is any life
left in the hair roots.

Will Advocate New Examinations.

State Superintendent Of Education
Swearingen to-day made public that Sec
tion Of his report to the coming legislature
on the subject of examination and certifi-
cation Of teachers.
He proposes to do away with the pres
ent system Of examinations conducted by
the county boards and have certificates
done by State board Of examiners, grad
ing the papers in every county and work
ing under the State board Of education.
He says many Of high schools are en-
ploying the uncertificated teachers, in vio-
lation Of law, and the county boards are
granting certificates in many cases, re-
gardless of qualifications. The plan for
reform would probably throw out OF en-
ployment nearly half the teachers in the
State.
THE new certificates are to be good in
all the counties and only diplomas from
normal. schools would be good in lieu
thereof, and the certificates would then be
graded according to the applicants ability
to teach in primary, grammar or high
school, and will be good for two, five or
ten years, according to the ability, fitness
and experience.

The subject of the division of the South
Carolina Conference has been discussed in
various quarters, and at first blush it
would seem that there is necessity for
the change simply on the ground of the
size of the body.
The division is opposed by few because
Of the proposed division Of the territory
along line from Georgia to North Carroll
ma by way Of Columbia, thus making
low country and an up country confer
ence.
And, we believe, others think that objec-
tions could be obviated by running a line
sea to the mountains by way of Columbia.
It is suggested, too, that Conference
Hall Se built in Columbia, where the Con-
ference would meet every year in that
city; on the ground that as all Of the dele
gates could be cared for in that city, the
necessity for a division would no longer
exist.
The objection to this plan is urged by
others that the meetings Of the Confer
ence would be withdrawn from the small
er clties, and their withdrawal would, to
come extent, remove the Church from the
people.
The objections to the Conference meet:
ing in smaller cities could be answered by
the plan which even if not urged, is
obliged to come, if the annual Conference
is to be forever held in any one city, and
that is in the entertainment Of the dele
gates or members:of Conference. If the
annual meetings are necessarily held in
one place the people could not stand the
annual expenses incident to the entertain:
ment of delegates. They must then pay
their own board bills, even as do the Leg.
islative members Of the General Assembly
If the meetings Of Conference are held
as now, in different cities, even II dele
gates would pay their board bills, as they
would have to do in Columbia or elsewhere
II Conference met always in the same city
the interests Of the church would be con
served.
II the meetings were held at long inter
vIls in different cities, even if the rule was
for each delegate to pay his board, (
greater number would be invited to be

as Did Their Ancestors Gen.

Fifty men sat round a quaint. oak
paneled room at the back of public
house near Fleet street on Saturday
night. Most of them were smoking
long clay pipes. Before them, on
round-topped tables, were msgs of ale
and glasses O: hot toddy. One by one
the men arose and with great defer
ence to the chairman, who sat on an
ancient cEai. below naked gas Jet
and welded an ebony hammer, ex-
pressed their views on the events of
the week.
The gathering was the survival Of
Cogers Hall, an ancient debating club
established mere than $50 years ago.

ing alluded with pride to the fact that

man one occasion visited that room

English Physician Asserts He Has
Found an Absolute Cure for
tuberculosis.

remarkable series OF cures alleged
to have been effected in advanced
cases of tuberculosis is attracting the
attention of medical men in London,
England. One case has been under
the supervision of distinguished
physician for five months and the pa
tient. who was suffering from con-
sumption of both lungs and throat,
has been pronounced virtually well.
A report from the physician on the
medical aspects of the case will prob
ably be published soon. Arrange
ments have been made for subjectin -
the treatment to decisive test b :
applying it to six or eight hospital
cases and securing scientific demon
straticn.
The treatment Is described as a
thermo-chemical attraction, the germs
Of the disease being drawn by chem
ical heat through a ray of inAamma-
ton from the lung or throat to the
surface of the skin. and expelled when
the wound is washed. 1t has been
practiced by science investigator,
William Doig, for several years at his
private dispensary. and medical men
are astonished by the results in cases
Of tuberculosis which they have con-
