Simians Will Be Killed When Elk
periments Are Concluded.

Eleven little monkeys, which for some
time have been the objects of psychology
cal experiments in George Washington
University. are to have their mental fac
ulties tested at the Government Hospital
for the Insane. where they were taken
yesterday
DR.. s. L. Franz, psychologist of the
hospital staff. will soon begin q series OF
experiments with them to determine If
the monkeys faculties of perception. SEN
sation and correlated divisions of mind
are superior to similar faculties in man.
There is no question among scientists
that mans faculties of reason, judgment
and memory are superior to those of a
monkey, but some scientists claim that
the more animal-like faculties of the
simians are keener than those in man
kind.
Prof. W. T. Shepherd has made inter-
esting experiments with the monkeys in
George Washington University. After the
experiments at the government hospital
are completed the monkeys are to be
killed and their brains preserved in al
cohol, to be studied by the STAFF of the

YELLOW PERCH PLENTIFUL.
But the Fish Are Small and Demand
Is Light.

Yellow perch are being caught in the
Potomac by the thousands. and barrels
of them are being received here daily,
by steamer and sailing vessel. from the
fisheries. Many of the fish. full half of

measuring from the tip OF the tail to
the end of the head, and for them there
is no demand and they are sold for little

Itching Of Scalp
Unbelievable
Nearly Wild With Painful, Burn
ing Eruption-Half Her Hair
Fell Out and Combing 1t Was
Torture - Feared She Would
Be Bald-ln Despair Until
Easily and Quickly
Cured by Cuticura

Just about two years ago some form of humor
appeared on my scalp The beginning was
slight itching. but 1t grew steadily worse until,
when 1 combed my hair, the scalp became raw
and the ends of the comb teeth would be wet
with blood. Most Of the time there was an In
tolerable itching, in a painful burning way, very
much as a bad, burn, IL deep, will itch and
smart when first beginning to heal Combing my
hair was positive torture. My hair was long and
tangled terribly because of the blood and scabs
This continued growing worse, and over half my
hair fell out. ] In despair, really afraid
Of becoming totally bald.
Sometimes the pain was SO great that. when
partially awake, would scratch the worst places
that my finger tips would be bloody couiu
not sleep well, and, after being asleep short
time, that awful singing pain would commence
and then l would wake up nearly wild with
the torture neghbor said 1t must be salt
rheun,. Having used Cuticura Soap merely as
toilet soap before 1 now decided to order a set
of the Cuticura Remedies-Cuticura Soap, ONT
ment and Pills. used them according to di-
rectlons for perhaps six weeks, then left OF.
as the disease seemed to be eradicated. But
toward spring, eighteen months ago. there was
a slight return of the scalp humor. i commenced
the Cuticura treatment at once, SO had very llt-
tie trouble. On my scalp l used about onehaiI
a cake of Cuticura Soap and half box of Gu
ticura Ointment in all. The first time took six
or seven bottles of Cuticura Pills and the last
time three bottles-nether an expensive or tedi-
ous treatment Since then / have had no scalp
trouble of any kind. Standing up, with my hair
unbound, 1t comes to my knees and had it not
been for Cuticura 1 should doubtless be wholly
bald.
