TIGHT HATS.
They Impede Circulation In the Scalp
and Invite Badness.

Ingenious men are continually con-
trivlng new kinds of shoes, new sus-
Ipenders and hundreds of different
kinds Of braces, but SO far, says the
Therapeutic Gazette, no one has taken
up the idea OF making a hat which will
hold on the head and not blow off and
at the same time not bind the head all
around like constructing band.
Some men go without hats at times
with the idea that the hair is improved
by ventilation and sunshine Undoubt-
edly this does improve it, but the prime
secret is not in not wearing the hat at
all. The ventilated hat will not pre-
vent badness If this same hat be worn
tightly around the head. If a string
be tied ever so lightly around the fin
ger the effect upon the circulation
may be easily marked in the end Of
that finger. A tight hat will affect the
circulation Of the scalp in the same
way.
Hats which are easily blown Off
should never be worn, as they will not
stay on unless jammed so tightly upon
the head as to impede circulation. All
stiff, rigid hats should be very light,
and one should select size larger
than the head measurement and cor
rect the over size by inserting felt

Ouaer Collateral.

Here Is fact as strange as II Is
true" said an Psychologist. Mum
mics in ancient Egypt were used chief
ly as collateral
when an Egyptian wanted to bor-
row he gave his fathers or grand
fathers mummy as security. Some
times, If he required large sum, he
gave his father and both grandfathers,
and he would even throw in the num-
my Of his mother-in-law If she for
tunately happened to be in a mummi-
fed state.
Joking aside" the Psychologist con-
tinued, what / tell you is the truth.
An Egyptian was not permitted to
borrow without pledging the mummy
Of some near relative. 1t was deemed
in Egypt both impious and infamous
not to redeem so sacred a pledge as
that, and he who died with a family
mummy still in pawn was himself
buried in unconsecrated ground."-Cin.

The first posts are said to have orig

he was initiated by Charlemagne about
800 A. d. Louis ri. was the first
sovereign to establish post houses in

LET THEM FINISH THE WORK.

1t is for the best interest of the city
that the [present administration OF the
city's affairs be continued in Office that
they may have a chance to complete
the work which they have commenced,
with which they are entirely familiar,
and with the details of which new
set of officials would not be familiar.
The most important Of this uncom-
pleted work is the municipal water
system. They taxpayers have author
lied the issuance of bonds, by a vote
two to one vote, for the building OF
this system. That the bonds are not
sold is no fault of the council, but due
to distractions placed in the way by
selfish interests to prevent such sale.
A suit is Enow pending in the federal
court which will require the old
council to settle if the city's interests
are to be .safeguarded. Swapping
horses" at this stage is not wise or
necessary. Let the old council finish
what they have started. BY the time
a new mayor and council could take up
the work which the present admins
tration has well fin hand, years
work would be lost, and much injury
would result. The city needs new
water system as soon as it can be pro-
cured. The present administration will
provide it if continued in office, while
there is no assurance as to what are
the intentions of the other candidates
for Office if elected We all know
where Mayor Mcdonald, backed by
solid council, stands on this matter.
Do we know where Mr.. Hartwig
stands, or on what platform he is run
ming? Can we afford to take the risk?
Mayor Mcdonald has had the united
support of the council in his efforts to
give the city good water system, and
has fought the measure through to
point where there is every assurance
that work be begun early in the new
year to bring in better and more
water. Owing to the distractions
placed in the way at every turn by
selfish interests, it has caused delays
and dissentions have arisen which are
unpleasant. The fight on the part Of
the mayor and council have not been
a personal one, but in the interest of
the city. They should be commended
for fighting for the interests of the
city. These fights could have been
avoided by paying the opposition its
price. 1t is the true spirit of Ameri-
can citizenship to fight for what is
right. 1t is the cry Of those opposed
to the municipal water system to stop
the fight. They would stop the fight
by selling polluted water system to
the city at double its price. The city
administration would stop the fight
by putting in new water system to
protect the health of the city and pro-
vide fire protection. They are also
willing to buy out the present water
system for what it is worth, when the
private company is able to give legal
title free from encumbrance. We are
willing to leave it to the voters as to
the best way to settle the question.
The whole issue in the coming city
election is the water question. 1t de-
pends upon who are elected to office
how this question will be settled.

Is IT WORTH THE PRICE.

The widow of New York banker
has commenced suit in the courts for
an allowance with which to complete
the education of her l6-year-old daugh-
ter. The sum she asks for only
amounts to SIT, 900 per year and the
necessary time will be about three
years $51, 900.
In the mind of the toiler who earns
his bread by the sweat of his brow
these figures may seem startling.
Perhaps few facts will enlighten
him somewhat and bring first aid.
In the first place her educational pro-
cess must be commenced in Europe
will involve an establishment in Paris,
Vienna, London or all of the three
places. 1t means goyernesses, maids,
music, dancing, painting and other
parts under the instructions of the
best talent to be had or at the least
the most expensive teachers. She
must learn French and perhaps two or
ride drive, swiming, fencing gymnas-
tics under the expensive tutors.
1t also means horses, carriages, auto
mobiles and probably an airship and
other jim-cracks. 1t means grand
tours and expensive travels, expensive
hotels and villas and then an expensive
outfit for her debut. And then the
end.

the poor girl finds herself disqualified
