And there is 10 quick process of
making the hair grow. Most hair
tones are valuable not because
they feed" the hair, but because
they contain medicant which
stimulates the scalp as a mustard
plaster does the skin. Brushing
the hair, or massaging the scalp
|accomplishes the same end But
incorrect brushing with the thin
edge of the brush, twist and a
jerk often supposed to be a means
of promoting the circulation, rakes
out healthy hair In a manner most
astonishing. ysbI
Dandruff, and brittleness, which
makes the hair split at the cNf,
are real causes of falling hair; and
when the system is low in tone for
any reason, from worry to illness,
the hair shows symptoms of weak
ness. =hba
Complaints of falling hair now
adays are due to the fashion of
wearing large hair rats which pre-
vents proper ventilation of the nat
ural hair and causes it to dwindle.
The pinning of great quantities of
false hair to the natural locks
makes heavy strain upon the
roots, and the hair give way, not
mysteriously, but logically and in
evitably.

A MODERN BURGLAR

Bill Braden, the most modern
burglar who ever sailed the skies
in a biplane, softly beat his way
toward the palatial mansion of
Millionaire Scraggs, in his airship,
against a strong westerly wind.
TEN thousand dollars in bills!"
the burglar muttered to himself
as he skillfully piloted his ma
chine around corner of the
house. II don't want any mistake
about this, though" he declared
to himself again.
While he kept the airship under
control with one hand, with the
other he began working the wire
less.
lis Scraggs at home he sent
out his query.
From some point nearby came
an answer Immediately.
Eyes" the answer went, eve
had him under my eye for the
past week, per your orders, and ]
know he has $4,000 in the house
tonight. His room is the third
from the front in the second
story"
Good" Burglar Bill calculated
as he shut the wireless key and
brought the car to level with the
third window from the front OF
the second story.
With the strong little pocket
searchlight which he carried, he
sent a ray of dazzling light
through the window into the
room. The ray disclosed Million
aire Scraggs asleep. his mouth
open in plebeian fashion and his
trousers thrown over a chair near
him. From him he light roved
around the room until It lighted
upon a compact, armor-plate safe
in ono corner. Ah," Burglar
Bill calculated as he saw this and
shut the light off quickly.
From his kit he took delicate
little glass cutter and with this he
neatly lifted out a small section
of the window pane. Following
Iris operation 1t was the work OF a
second to insert his hand, lift up
fbe latch and open the window.

MIR. GRIM is CONFIDENT.
Says Fusion Helped Him to Senate
and Will Make Him Governor.

DOYLESTOWN, Sept 1.--State
Senator Webster Grim, Democratic
candidate for governor, has sensa-
tion to spring on the voters of Penn
sylvania, if the Democratic mana
gers will let him, according to an
interview with a representative of
the Philadelphia North American.
The closely-guarded sensation Is
Mr.. Grim's choice for his running
mate as candidate for lieutenant
governor on the Democratic ticket
in place of Samuel Price. who
declined to run-and 'if it comes
out it will make somebody's hair
stand up straight" said Mr.. Grim.
Mr.. Grim, however, refuses abso-
lutely to reveal the secret.
He will not even admit that his
choice for lieutenant-governor is a
Democrat, and intimates it may be
a Republican, but a Republican whose
independent, anti-machine stand will
at once make it plain Mr.. Grim is
no machine candidate.
Mr.. Grim, in fact, would admit
nothing directly, says the North
American representative, but the de-
ductions from a lengthy interview
with him were that fusion might
be effected between the Republican
insurgent element and the Demo-
Gratis, and that the ultimate victori-
Gus anti-Penrose state ticket might
be composed of Webster Grim, Dem
ocrat, for governor; d. Clarence Glib
honey, Keystone Republican, for
lieutenant-governor John j. Casey,
keystone Democrat, for secretary of
internal affairs, and Samuel B. Phil
son, Democrat, for state treasurer.
Mr.. Grim did not even indirectly
say this much, but at the close of
the interview, when he was asked
fatty if this was the sum total TO
be deduced from statements he had
made, he avoided a direct answer
by replying that he had twice been
elected on fusion tickets, that he
! believed in fusion, but that he would
positively not be committed to any
| thing that the Democratic managers
might not agree with him in bring
ing about.
"If the Democratic managers dc
what l want them to do you will
| get your sensation all right" said
Mr.. Grim, smilingly. But ! am not
! going to make advance statements
about anything until they have acted
| on the matter. 1t would hardly be
proper for me to do that. l am not
the whole party; l am only the can
didate of the party and will, OF
course, run with whatever man the
party thinks it best to name. But
if they do what | want them to dc
it will make some peoples hair stand
on end"

FARM TURKEY RAISING.
A Paying Business When Conducted
With Intelligence.

with Intelligence.
Turkeys need but little attention
II kept away from fowls and ducks.
Turkey farming pays best by itself.
They lay their eggs In a secluded
spot. A cement barrel laid on it's
side, with a brick each side TO pre-
vent from rolling, and a branch OF a
tree partially covering its entrance,
Is all they want to encourage them.
II Is best to permit the eggs to re-
main In the nest. The hen Is usual
ly very cautious on entering and
leaving the nest, and seldom breaks
an egg, unless she has not had suf-
flcient shell formers in her diet. See
that she gets burnt dry oyster shells.
Always provide the hen with an in
viting spot of plenty of green grass
for the nest. Too dry a nest often
causes trouble from lack of moisture.
Give the hen an opportunity to dust
herself in damp spot; she will get
It II possible. and there will be little
fear of dead chicks IN the shell un-'
less breeding from immature birds
Is practiced A gobbler of twelve
months is not the best He should
be at least two years old; likewise
the hens. Above all, introduce fresh
blood every. second year. This is Of
great Importance in raising turkeys
for profit.
OF one thing there can be no
doubt-turkeys do best in fresh
air and will not stand coddling.
The adult birds usually find much Of
their own food; yet 1t is an absolute
necessity to feed the flocks when
natural foods are not available.
When insect life is scarce, grass is of
poor quality and is also usually
wet, the consequences is they scour
and often die from the effects. Corn
meal and bran, one part each, with a
fair amount of chopped-up boiled
meat and, when available, few
slices of raw onions, all mixed with
the meat or other animal food has
been boiled, should be used. Mix dry
! as possible. Turkeys do not thrive
| on slops. Curded milk is much rel
ished and Is a splendid flesh former
and a whitener of flesh. Nothing is
more Objectionable than fat breast.
| Too much corn feeding or a constant
supply of wheat will not improve the
color of the flesh. Oats are by. far
the best grains to assist in keeping
down fat.
Always provide fresh clean wa
ter daily and keep the vessels out Of
the sun. Neglect In this regard will
cause losses by disease, Add char
coal in case of bowel disorders. 1t
Is an absolute necessity In success
full turkey raising. They must have
an unlimited amount of grit, with
out which they suffer from indiges-
ton. Small pebbles, coarse sand and
broken crockery and smashed up
burnt bone all aid In digesting their
food. This Is especially required,
previous to their going to roost.
There is no necessity to boil any
grain; they are better without 1t and
prefer the hard food TO that of a
sloppy nature.-American Poultry
Advocate.
