Dear Madam now write you
what your wonderful hair remedy has
done for me. Ny hafr had been fall

heads and pimples disappeared. New
hair came In. and after using your
remedy six months my hair was all in

Dear Madam received the goods
all right, which presume you know

see how liked your treatment be-
fore writing. also received your
letter from Pueblo, and thank you

as to your treatment. used the red

to start with, and you didn't designate.
which to use first must say 1t was
the most delightful shampoo ever
had. I felt like l had a new mead
0augh). Now. as to your salve, 1t is
the nearest thing 10 perfection have

WHITE CROSS SOCIETY.
Plan of Distinguished Russian Count
ess to Aid Sick Children.


ess to Aid Sick Childre6.
Inspired with the hope of Founding a
great international organization (which
will accomplish for the children Of the
world what the Red Cross has done for
the sick and wounded, Countess Lydie
Rostoptchine, distinguished Russian,
now travelling in the United States, is
endeavoring to interest the women of
the United States in the project.
'fThe idea in which the Red Cross
had its inception is one which appeals
to the heart of all mankind said
Countess Rostoptchine recently at a
Washington hotel ''That as well as
counts for its power and prestige the
world over. 1t has done for humanity
what scattered philanthropists never
could have accomplished, and the suf-
fering of sick and wounded has every
where been alleviated. The human
heart cannot be less touched by the
miseries of childhood
-'Charitable workers and sociologists
are agreed that no outlay of effort re-
pays so largely as the work in behalf
OF unfortunate little ones. Every great
city now has its institutions and its So
cieties devoted to the relief of sick and
destitute children. Why not concen-
trate these efforts in one great organ
ization, to be known as the White
Cross, which shall ultimately equal in
numbers and prestige the great Red
Cross?
This has come to be my fixed idea,
and hope before leaving this country
to be able to interest many persons in
the formation of such an organization. -
The Russian noblewoman is one OF
the most interesting travellers to visit
Washington, is related to many Of the
most famous families of the Russian
aristocracy and is looked on as one OF
the most brilliant women of her ma
tive country. She is writer and lee
turer of distinction and one of the
most DhilanthroDie women of Russia.

IA FL An ALL Is W nave q ACW pICo-
ident This is important for
d n the entire country and indeed
for the whole educational
world, but it is especially momentous
for Boston. Around 'the Hub" it is a
bigger thing than electing a president
of the United States.
The new man is Professor Abbott
Lawrence Lowell, a Boston man, of
course, who has family tree bigger
than one of the California redwoods.
President Roosevelt says he is "as
pleased as Punch" which is being
tickled some even for Roosevelt.
Everybody else who has been inter-
viewed says that Lowell is exactly the
right man for the place and the one
he had picked as a winner from the
beginning. This is all fine and as it
should be. l am glad there are so
many 81 told you SOS" in the educa-
tional world as well as among the poll
ticians. 1t proves that highbrows are
just human beings after all. For one,
/ am going to be honest and admit,
humbly and shamefacedly, that did
not predict the selection of Professor
Lowell for the excellent reason that l
never heard of that gentleman until
he was suggested for this exalted job.
l supposed that this was due to my
own dense ignorance until l asked a
dozen other newspaper men who had
worked all over the country and ought
to be fairly well informed, and each
of them admitted that he had never
heard of Professor Lowell either Then
| felt better.
What lot we have to learn! Here
is a man, now admittedly one of the
best equipped educators In the world,
who for more than twenty years has
been great lawyer, has managed inn
portant business interests and famous
educational institutions, has lectured
and written books and yet whose very
name was unknown to ninety-nine out
of every hundred of his fellow coun-
trymen. SO far as Professor Lowell is
concerned, this fact is infinitely to his
credit He has in him no element of
notoriety seeking. He has magnified
truth and scholarship rather than self.
While the newspaper man is a pur-
veyor of publicity, there is no one who
more highly appreciates those who do
not run after publicity. Perhaps the
reason is that he sees so many of the
other sort.
The next morning after Professor
Lowell was named for the presidency
Of Americas Oldest college his class in
government, consisting of 700 stu
dents, known as Gov. l." cheered
him for Ave minutes. To them he
said, "The office to which have beer
nominated l regard as the most influ.
entail in the United States" Whewl
After that President Roosevelt is en-,
titled to inquire, in the language of %
H. Hartman, Where do stand?
wonder if he is still "as pleased as
Punch?'

African Huntinn.

IR. j. Cunninghame, famous African
guide. says that all the hardships of At
rican hunting are past and that luxury
has taken their place.l
If you go a-hunting lions
Now in Africa afar,
You may. penetrate the jungle
In Pullman palace car.
In the very, very darkest
Part of Africa you may
Press button for the porter,
Who will bring you vim frappe.
All the forests are illumined
With electric lights, and SO
You may roam them without danger
If a-hunting you should go.
All the hardship has departed
With the danger and distress.
All the natives dine at seven,
And they all wear evening dress.
In the thicket and the jungle,
If you care to pay the price,
You may eat ten course dinner,
With your oysters served on ice.
And when you have slaughtered lions
And have finished for the day
You may pass the time at billiards
Or take in the latest play. ~

ozonizina Theater Audiences.

Successful experiments have been
made at the Royal theater in SUIT
CART, Germany, with new apparatus
designed to distribute ozone at fixed
Intervals throughout the building.
The ozone is conducted by small tubes
to oil parts of the house and turned
on, regulated and turned off at will.
The result has been excellent, the air
being completely purified within few
minutes.

One important fact is in his favor.
Eliot's- work is largely done. The
great edifice he reared is essentially
complete. His new system has been
adopted by colleges, professional insti-
buttons and public schools throughout
the land That task will not have to
be performed again. In so far his sue
cessor's work is simplified and made
easy.

Harvard's President Elect
Professor Abbott Lawrence Lowell on Whom Eos Mantle
Will FALL Is One of the Worlds Best Equipped Edu-
cators-An Authority on Government, Great
Lawyer and Ripe Scholar.
Relative of the Famous Lowells
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES,


Professor Lowell Is cousin of
James Russell Lowell and of United
States Circuit Judge Francis @. Lowell
and is brother of Professor Percival
Lowell, the famous astronomer, who
knows more about Mars than II. G.
Wells has written. The new president
of Harvard is also related to all the
other Lowells who amount to any
thing and to several who do not. His
grandfather, John Amory Lowell,
founded the city of Lowell, the Lowell
institute, the Lowell mills, and prac-
tically made Charles William Eliot
president of Harvard. Now Eliot,
after forty years in the office, returns
the compliment by handing over the
chair to the grandson of his old friend
and hacker.
On his mo hers side Professor Low
ell is descended from the famous fami-
ly Of Lawre nee that founded the city
of Lawrence and the Lawrence mills.
His grandfather, Abbott Lawrence, for
whom he was named, was once minis
ter to England After careful inves-
tigation / have concluded that Massa-
chusetts is made up of the Lowell fam
lily, the Lawrence family, the Adams
family and some others. The Lowell
and Lawrence families practically es-
tablished the primacy of their state in
the textile line. Thus Abbott Law
renee Lowell combines in his own per.
son an Identification with Massachu-
sets three chief products-blue blood,
cotton goods and Harvard college. He
also has the three chief outward helps
to a career-family, wealth and edu-
cation, the very things that Abraham
Lincoln lacked. The two men are diff
ferent in some other ways, one of
which is that Professor Lowell writes
and talks about government and Lin
coin governed.
Author of a Great Work.
In a recent address in Boston
James Bryce, the British ambassador,
said that Professor Lowell has written
the best book about the British govern
ment ever written by any one not an
A4AiSs lAoAlilAAis l " navy d10h1AtNNA thQb AZ
was altogether the best book would
have been something akin to treason to
British tradition and would have done
violence to the well known English
character. 1t has been said that Low.
ellis great work is to England what
