The Story of a Famous Name
and How 1t Originated.

The foremost dermatologst in France DR..
Sabourand of Paris, and Professor lima Ham,
| burg, Germany. discovered that a microhe caused
badness. To prove their theory, Dr. SaboIraud
| infected guinea pig with some of these MI
crobes and in a comparatively short tim. the
animal Was denuded Of every hair that Was ON
its body.
Some eminent histologists and chemists were
employed by tho United Drug TO-. Boston Mass
to ind tho means OF destroying these mi robes
and remedy that would create new grow IN
of hair where the hair had not been en-
tirely destroyed.
After months Of study. experimenting and re-
search work they discovered what they claimed
would do what demanded To unauestion-
ably prove their theory. 100 leading druggists,
located n many different cities were re-
quested to each furnish the Of a respon-
sible person suffering from falling hair and bald
ness. Each of these 100 persons furnished
three bottles OF the preparation with q reouesr
to give it thorough trial and report results.
Five Of these people failed 10 report. Two de-
clared they had been bald for years. that their
hair follicles had long been closed, and their
scalps were smooth and glossy.
Ninety three OF the 100 sent in enfhusisstic
reports. stated that they were delighted with
the hair-restoring qualities OF - preparation.
and expressed sincere thanks for tho wonderful
benefits brought about by its use. In commence
ration of this the new preparation was named

Schooner Is Overdue.

Grave fears are entertained for the
safety of the schooner Edgar c. Ross
Capt. Ruben Quillan. which is now two
weeks overdue on voyage from Charles
ton to New York. The vessel, with a
cargo Of lumber aboard. passed over the
bar at Charleston harbor December 30
Since that day she has not been sighted
and as she was out in all the heavy gales
that swept the coast about Christmas
there is more than ordinary anxiety felt
for her safety. 1t is thought possible
that the Ross. like number Of other yes
sells, may have been blown far off heI
course in the storms and Is now making
her way back to the coast and will
shortly be reported at some harbor
where she has put in for supplies.

ABUSES AT STOCKADE
CONDITIONS OF CITY PRISON
INVESTIGATED.
Atlanta Council Committee Reports
on Charges Against Management
Sweeping Changes Sought.

ATLANTA, Ga, January 1.-THE coun-
Gil committee which has been investigat-
ing the charges of cruelty and abuses at
the city stockade or prison reported to
the council last evening that many Of the
assertions were substantiated. Sweeping
changes we're recommended.
The report begins with the assertion
that without attempting to fix the
blame, conditions al the stockade are very
bad" The attempt to operate the prison
as a revenue producer is asserted to be
responsible. each administration trying to
make more money than its predecessor
This resulted in the pernicious custom of
resentencing prisoners for infractions of
prison rules The food is pronounced
wholesome. but it's preparation filthy.
The sanitary conditions are declared vile.
Mistreatment of Prisoners.
The charge that prisoners were shac-
killed. so that their clothing could not BE-
taken off for the term of their sentence
sometimes forty days-was sustained.
Whipping vas declared necessary only in
extreme cases. The iron rings to which
Young women were hanged by the wrists
for hours were declared less brutal than
whining, unless the one suspended were
Of small stature.
Money from the sale of vegetables was
misappropriated the COMMITTEES found.
hut Commissioner of Public Works Col
Iier had no knowledge of this. He was
held responsible for conditions. however
although it was urged in extenuation
that he had too much to do. He was
only part of a vicious system for which
all of us are responsible,' the report
adds.
Separation Recommended.
A separation Of the department from
that of public works is recommended, and
generous appropriations to remedy the
vile sanitary conditions are urged
The report of the committee follows
close upon the conviction Of Supt. Vining
and Guard Cornett Of the stockade, who
were charged with cruelty beating ne
gro prisoner. The men were sentenced
today to pay fine of $3.50 and 500. re-
spectively, or to serve six months i'm
prisonment They appealed. 1t was
their indictment and a singing report
by the grand jury on conditions as the
grand jurors found them that led to the
investigation.

A MANUAL OF INDUSTRIALS

Work for Industrial Field Similar

The first annual number Of Poor's
Manual Of Industrials, containing 2,Sl7
pages OF text, and designed 20 perform a
work similar 20 that accomplished by

for its scope, which is much greater than
has heretofore been attempted, but also
for the aggregate Industrial figure. pre-

Only a small percentage OF corporations
ignored the request: some few declined
70 render any kind OF statements. and
many submitted only general information
which did not include such vital statis-
tics as income accounts and balance
sheets. In all cases proofs Of the state
ments as compiled were sent to the COM
panies with a request 70 supply the miss
ing data. While this request was occa-
sionally ignored. many companies supplied
the information. with the net result that
the present book is far more complete in
all respects than any other reference

The security of money in conservative
real estate, city or suburban, as well as

shows that idle money is seeking land
investments in preference to bonds and
kindred enterprises.
