Little Home Helps On
How to Be Beautiful
BY MADAME MAREE

D. NJ: Your falling hair is due to
an excess of dandruff, and the best
shampoo 1 can recommend is eggol,
which removes dandruff and acts as
scalp food Use this eggol shampoo
every two weeks at the start. followed
with a tonic made by adding one-half
pint of pure water to the same
amount of grain alcohol; let stand for
five minutes, then put in one ounce of
beta-canthol. Use the tonic daily for
a month, then twice a week after that.
This treatment will stop the hair from
falling out and make it grow in thick
and glossy.
Ruth s.: Don't be discouraged. The
hairs on your chin are easily removed
by using a paste of powered delol and
warm water. Take a little deIol and
add just enough water to form soft
paste: cover the hairy spot thickly
with this and let it remain for two or
three minutes, then scrape off and you
will find the hairs have disappeared.
You can get delol from your drug
gist, in ounce bottles and while 1t is
slightly expensive, it is worth several
times it's cost, as it is unfailing.
Dorothy M. For that roughness
and lobster hue" to the skin of which
you write, I would suggest using the
amaroI preparation, which is made by
dissolving, thoroughly, two ounces of
amarol in one pint of hot water.
Shake this we'll and let stand over
night, then apply as you would any
complexion lotion, and your skin Will
soon become smooth and clear and re-
sumo it's natural flesh tint.

A CURIOUS WILL.

II Forces a Happy Family Under Pc
culiar Conditions.
An extraordinary will has been left
by an elderly unmarried lady who died
in Vienna. Her property, amounting
to about $4,000, is appointed to be di-
vided between her three nephews, now
aged twenty-four, twenty-seven and
twenty nine. and her three nieces, aged
nineteen, twenty-one and twenty-five,
In equal parts on the following coadi-
tons:
The six neptews and nieces must all
live in the house formerly inhabited by
their aunt. with the executor, g law
yer, whose business it will be to see
that the conditions of the will are
strictly observed. None Of the neph-
ews is to marry before reaching his
fortieth year or the nieces before their
thirtieth, under the penalty that the
share of the one so marrying will be
divided among the others.
Further. the six Iegatees are admou-
ished never to quarrel among them
selves. II one should do so persistent
ly the executor is empowered to turn
him or her out of the house and divide
the share as in the case of marriage.
The executor is himself forbidden to
marry or to reside elsewhere than in
the house with the legatees as long as
he holds his Office, to which a hand
some remuneration is attached
The old maid is said TO have made
this peculiar will because her nephews
and nieces continually worried her
during her life by asking her to give
them money to enable them to marry,
requests she always refused.-London

Roosevelt's Slaughter in Africa

Dispatches from Gondokoro, Sudan,
on the upper Nile, state that the hunt
ing party under Colonel Roosevelt has
about finished its work in Africa. and
will soon return home. Roosevelt goes
TO Khartum, where he expects to ar
rive the 18th of this month.
This hunting party is called '"The
African Scientific Expedition, under
the auspices of the Smithsonian Insti-
tuition of Washington" Roosevelt rep
resents that the trip has been marvel
ously successful. Undoubtedly this is
true from the standpoint of the hunter,
but we doubt very much whether any
real contributions to science will re-
suit from it,
Colonel Roosevelt and his son. it is
said, have killed some five hundred
large mammals, including II lions, II
elephants, 10 buffaloes, l9 rhinoceroses,

etc. What necessity was there for

Real Meaning of High Prices.

An announcement of a 20 per cent
decrease in wages would probably
cause the workingmen of the country
TO instantly arise in revolt. Yet it is
fully within the bounds of conserva-
tism to say that the real meaning Of
the 50 per cent increase in the cost of
living since 1896 is a 90 per cent re
duction in wages.
Money wages are merely nominal
wages. The goods the workingman is
able to obtain for his money wages,
form his real wages. Since 1896 the
purchasing power of a dollar in the
United States has been gradually
dwindling Wages have advanced, too,
but have not kept pace with prices.
Prices go up the elevator; wages
climb the stairs"
What is the result? Workingmen
and their families have been gradually
but surely forced to a trife lower
standard of living each year. Real
wages have been lessened by not less
than 20 per cent.
The wages of the British working
men are lower than those of the Amer
lean workingman, although the differ
ence is not nearly as great as the pro-
tectionists assert. Yet the British
worker, under free trade. is the high
est paid workingman in the world
when his salary is measured by its
power to purchase the necessaries of
life. In the report of the United States
commissioner OF labor for 1903 it was
estimated that the British laborer
could buy the necessaries of life for
one year with 205 days labor, while it
would require 225 days labor for an
American to do the same thing The
difference must be even greater now,
because since 1903 prices have advanc-
ed faster in the United States than in
Great Britain.

Policemen and Mail Carriers.

One thing that frequently has at,
tracted notice is the fact that the po-
liceman on the corner frequently eX-
hibits a tendency to put on flesh,
while the man who delivers letters
is always so lean that if it were not
for his sweater he might have trouble
in casting a shadow. It remained for
the Providence Journal to explain this
peculiar tendency as follows:
But another consideration is cited
to account for the well trimmed and
wiry figure which the letter carrier
usually illustrates, even though he be
of advanced age. The science of
physical training recognizes the i'm
portance of an objective in every task.
For his practice of pedestrianism the
carrier necessarily always has an OBJ
jective and at frequent stages Of his
route The force of this is the more
manifested If the policemen's lot be
contrasted. Like the carrier, the po-
liceman is required to cover a pre-
scribed beat; but unlike the carrier.
he rarely mas an incentive to arrive
somewhere. Thus is indicated why it
is that policemen numerously tend to
obesity. while letter carriers, as a
rule, are distinguished for the lean
habit"
