came on foot, some eight to nine
miles, and one young sister fifteen

as this is a commodity not used by
the natives. The food consisted
mainly of whole corn cooked, beans,

 To the most beautiful woman be- tween 20 and %; between 2S and 80; between 3b and 35; between as and 70, and between 70 and 4b.
 A society reporter who interviewed all five women in the interest of his paper. reported that all of them had beautiful hair and that each of the i've enthusiastically attributed her luxuri- ant hair to Parisian Sage.
 Psrisian Sage is Q discovery of cei- ebrated scientist. who spent the best years of his life to perfeeting this great hair tonic.
 Tn giving his recipe to the people he said: "Parisian Sage is the most de- lightful hair dressing in the world. but 1t is more than a hair dressing. It cures dandru1 by killing the germs that infest the roots of the hair: it stops falling hair; 1t gives vigor and strength to the hair roots; 1t prevents the hair from turning gray"
 E. c. Fowler sells Parisian Sage at 50 cents a large bottle. and guaran- tees 1t to do all that is claimed for 1t or money refunded.

WILKES TESTIMONY
CHIEF or DETECTIVES TELLS or
 SECRET SERVICE.
Men Have neen Assigned To variens Government departments wtthsut Authcrfty--Assumes Protect
 fon If Taft

Washington, Feb. 3--That 1t has been possible for the various departments of the government to obtain the services Of the secret service men in spite of the restrictions placed upon the secret serv- ice by the amendment to the sundry ap- propriation bill last year. Is apparent from the testimony of Chief WiikIe. made before subcommittee of the House Committee on Appropriations men was limited.
 The testimony has just been made public and indicates that the amend ment regarding which there was re- gently a controversy between the Pfes- ident and the House of Representatives, due to the chief executives references to the effects of the restrictions. does not entirely restrict.
 Tn reply to various questions. Mf Wilkie. at the hearing, stated that ors man was assigned from the secret serv- ice to the Navy Department to investi- gate a theft in the navy yard at Nor folk. Va, and another to the State De. pertinent to investigate the recent rev. olution. Both are carried on the rolls of the secret service but are paid by the departments to which they have been assigned.
 Another case brought out al, the hear. ing was that of the assignment of tive men to accompany ,President-eiect Taft for which there is no provision in law. Mir. Wilkie claimed that the assignment In this case was justified in that the secret service would probably be held responsible for Mir. Taft's safety If no measures for protection were taken.
 Declaring that period of financial and commercial depression exists In cases of 'eounterfeiting. Chief Wfikie asks for an increase in the annual ap- propriation for his service of $2O.0e0.
 He declared that as a result of the ltm- itations placed on the secret service. nine men have been dropped from the rolls sine July i, some of them now be- ing in the employ of the Department of Justice as special agents.
 Mir. wiIkie devoted his arguments principally to the plan to organize a central detective bureau in the Depart- nent of Justice which would do invest iRating and detective work for all de- partments. He declared himself against the French system, under which the detective bureau keeps itself informed regarding all matters and persons so that evidence could be furnished rec xardiess of whether there Is a case or c crime
 MT. Wilkie said that the detective bu- reau which he proposed, should investi- gate at the instance of the Attorney General.
 In concluding. Mr. wllkie said:
 q wish to record the fact that no member of the secret service or any one acting for the secret service had ever shadowed . Congressman or sena' tor"
