silenoed Him

The young man in the barber's chair
had been annoyed by suggestions OF
the white coated artist, although he
had said clearly enough when he sat
down that he wanted only a hair cut
and a shampoo. Singeing. facial mas
sage and hair tonics had been offered
vainly.
Finally the barber perpetrated what
is with BARRIERS the crowning insult.
Passing his hand over the young mans
face, he said contemptuously:
shave yourself don't you?"
Sure" said the young man. Don't
youY
And there was Washington

Poor Potato Quito K.

The white potato vines wer enever more
rank, yet those who have mflce examina
ton say, that the present condition Of
the white potatoe crop on th Peninsula,
is far from satisfactory; the potatoes be-
ing few and small on the wines. This is
particularly true of the district in the
two Virginia counties, where lremendu-
GUS acreage is planted in white potatoes,
and from the vicinity Of Del lmar, where
potato growing has been bne Of their
greatest money crops for Years past, the
Delmar News says ga pe7sonal investi.
CATION made Monday as to the outlook
for bumper white potato crop in this
section develops the fact thbt from pres
ent indications the crop vii not be more
than one-balf what it shFuld be under
normal conditions. The : ines have few
potatoes on them aud m b Of them are
small. The average vi d viii not be
more than thirty barn to the acre,
which is about the sar as last year.
The crop will hardly be eady for digging |
before July 10th uuess extraordinary |
favorable conditions should occur. The
poor yield is mainly due to the uniavora-
bic weather conditions that have pre-
vailed in this section for the past month, j

THURSDAY. AUGUST 2G 1909.

People who suffer with head
ache are prone to turn to any
thing that will give Immediate
relief rather than adopt vigorous
means Of removing the cause, but
il is a dangerous practice, accord
inc to some facts recently gwen
out by the Bureau OF Chemistry
Of the Department OF Agrlcul-
tnre. This bureau has inVestlgat-
ed the various headache cures
offered the public and has found
three Of the drugs used most ex-
tensively in such cures are DIS
tinct poisons. These three drugs
are acetaniIid, antipyrln and
phenacetin. 1t was found thai
each of them has the property OF
easing pain. Ii would seem that
people who make use Of these
short cuts TO relief are playing
with edged tools.
