imperfect digestion with consequent detrment to

A convention has been called in the city of San
Francisco, to prepare charter amendments. That
seems TO to be good plan-to get representatives
of the people together in meeting, discuss needed
changes in the plan of government and propose
such changes in the charter as may seem desirable
But whether so or not, the San Francisco conven-
ton is sign of the times. 1t shows that men who
live in the cities are becoming more and more in
terested in the form of government under which
they live.

Novelties in WaShmgt0n'S Smart Shops

In a big department store in Seventh
street between d and z, Fl special sale
Of blankets is being held at a most
opportune time for the housekeepers
who are setting up their lares and
penates this fall Among the note
worthy bargains are California
blankets, in eleven-quarter size, valued
at Sc. which are now reduced 10 A.4i.
Baby blankets in colors with the ia
miliar and much beloved Teddy bear
woven in white which have been sold
formerly for $50 are now marked at 81.
Fancy blouses this season seem more
elaborate than they have for years
past. The fad for yelling one material
with another, which was shown in the
spring. has taken a firm hold upon
feminine fancy. and almost all OF the
dressy waists designed by the French
dressmakers show a tendency TO COM
bine silks with chiffons or nets. or to
other hImy fabrics TO produce the
changeable effects, which are Elusive
in character and most charming.

Very pathetic is a letter that comes
from a man-and one can see by the
penmanship, the phraseology. even the
stationery. that he is man OF culture
and refinement-in which he says that
his wife seems to have lost all affection
both for himself and their child. His
pleas and remonstrances have no effect.
She plainly tells him that she does not
care for him any longer, and openly
neglects her duties TO her home and little
daughter. He asks for a word OF advice

Graying Hair.

From the Philadelphia Press.
Despite the enthusiasts who rave over
young faces and white hair. no woman
really welcomes gray hair; she may be-
come reconciled 10 il to the point OF not
favoring dyes, but that is all
Therefore take every precaution 10 keep
the hair from turning. Poor general
health will do Il; so VIII excessive worry
or too much brain work without proper
exercise and relaxation.
Nothing Will cause the hair 10 become
gray so quickly as allowing the scalp to
be robbed OF nourishing oils. For this
reason too much shampooing or the use
of drying mixtures on the hair is bad.
TONES that contain plenty OF oil are in
valuable to keep the natural luster of the
hair. and should be used regularly by
those whose family has & tendency TO
turn gray early.
