Use Electric Irons as Little
Stoves.

1t remained for boarding house full
Of girls in the city Of Boston to discover
the real merits and possibilities Of the
electric fatiron With many of these
girls economy in their habits was strict
Iy necessary, and when they found out
they could get a small electric fiat iron,
which could be readily attached to the
lighting fixture, and press all their laces
or even shirt waist, they were quick
to invest their savings for this little
household eConOmizer. But one Of
these self same girls, with a bit of in
ventive genius, quickly discovered that
the electric iron could be very easily
turned upside down and used as a small
cook stove. On the fiat face of her iron
she easily boiled water, made fudge or
even fried eggs and did other cooking.

THEY GROW HAIR
Certain Ingredients if Properly
Combined, Stimulate Human
Hair Growth.

Resorcin is one of the most effective
germ destrOyers ever discovered. Beta
naphthoI is a most powerful, yet alb
solutely safe germicide and antiseptic,
which prevents development Of germ
matter, and creates a clean healthy
condition.
Philocarpine, although not coloring
matter or dye, is an ingredient well es
tablished for its power to restore
natural color to human hair.
BOrax, because Of its we'll defined
sOftening and cleansing properties, is
most useful in the treatment of scalp
and hair diseases. Glycerine acts as a
stimulant to the hair bulbs, and has a
soothing, healing and nourishing in
fuence. Alcohol is indispensable in
medicine because Of its antiseptic, slim
ulating and preseryatiye qualities.
Rexall "93' Hair Tonic is chiefly
composed of these ingredients, which
are compounded in a peculiar form, and
we believe it is the most effective rene
dy known to medical science for scalp
and hair troubles generally. We per
sonally guarantee it to eradicate dan
druff and scalp irritations and to grow
hair, even though the scalp in spots is
bare of hair, providing Of course there
is life and vitality remaining in the hair
roots.
We want every one troubled with
scalp disease, dandruf OF loss Of hair to
try RexalI ''93'' Hair Tonic. IF it does
not remove dandruf and promote d
growth of hair to the satisfaction Of the
user, we will without question OF quib
BILE return every cent paid US for it,
This guarantee is printed on every pack
age. 1t has effected most satisfactory
results in SO out of 100 cases where put
to practical test.
Rexall 80" Hair Tonic is entirely
unlike and in every particular different
from anything else we know Of for the
purpose for which it is recommended,
We urge you to try it at our entire risk.
Certainly we could offer no better guar
antee. Two sizes, 30 cents and $1.00.

UNCLE SANS
WAY OF DOING IT.
How He Wishes All the World 6
Happy New Year.

A T midnight Uncle Sam wishes ali
re- the world happy New Year.
z The tick of the time signal in
strument in the United States
naval observatory at Washington
flashes Americas greeting to the ma
tons Of the world.
This sending forth of a New Year
greeting is sentimental in it's nature
perhaps, but it is practical in it's illus
tratiOn of the accurate time service
that has been adopted by the United
States and the organization of a stand
ard time schedule in this country,
which it is hoped some day will extend
throughout the world. So these New
Year greetings of Uncle Sans, which
have become an annual feature Of the
national observatory, give an object
lesson to the nations that may lead to
as great q reform in Il universal time
system rs Pope Gregory instituted in
the correction of the Julian calendar.
The first of these New Year messages
was sent out in 1908, the telegraph
companies entering into the project
with great interest and energy. The
signals were transmitted at midnight
and 1, , and a. m, so that each great
section of the country received its own
midnight signal direct from the naval
observatory SO successfully was the
plan carried out and so general was
the interest in it that it was decided
to make it feature thereafter.
Some of the messages sent out on
these occasions are received in an in
credibly short time. For instance, the
time signal last year was received at
Sydney, Australia, in two and one
fourth seconds; at Madras, India, in "A
fraction more than fifty-three seconds;
at Cape Town, Africa, in two minutes
and thirty-five seconds; at Madrid,
Spain. in two and One-haIf minutes; at
Lick observatory, Mount Hamilton,
California, in twenty-fOur One-hun-
dredths Of q second, and at Harvard
observatory, Cambridge, in one-tenth
of a second.
The Importance of this time service
is evidenced by the fact that it fur
nishes absolute standard time for moi
only navigatOrs at all the chief seapOrts
of the United States, but for the entire
country except the Pacific coast. which
receives q similar service from the
naval observatory at the Mare Island
yard When it is understood that the
service is rendered at no expense what
ever to the government, being merely
incidental to the work required for the
rating of thermometers for naval yes
sells, the results attained will appear all
the more acceptable. The time signal
is sent out daily at noon on seventy
fifth meridian time, with an average
error FIR the year of only fifteen hun
dredths of Il second. The signal goes
over the wires of the various telegraph
and telephone companies, regulating
eighteen government time balls and
10000 public and private clocks
throughout the country.
The accuracy required ia the opera,
ton may be appreciated when it is
known that the minutest fractions OF
seconds are shaved into infnitesimaI
quantities that almost rival the twin
king of the hair splitting timekeepeI
of ancient India.-New York Times.

Hon. T. II. Earle Dead.

The Republican Journal: Theodore
Henry Earle died at his home in Oar
lington on Sunday evening, January 2,
1910, at about 9 so o'clock, after lin
gering illness. In July last Mr.. Earle
went to Chicago and underwent a sur
gical operation Of very serious nature.
He rallied from the shock and it was
both hoped and believed that he would
soon be able to return home in restored
health, but as time progressed the
wound refused to heal and he came
home without the relief hoped for. In
time the affiiction progressed to point
where he deemed it imperative to return
to the hospital IN Chicago for further
treatement. He did so and about three
weeks ago he came home, having re-
ceived no benefit, and from then until
the hour of his death, gradually grew
worse, until the end.

Mr.. Pinchot's Platform,

Chicago Daily Journal: In some quar-
ters we note expressions Of doubt as tc
the~course which Clifford Pinchot's will
pursue with regard to the congressional
investigation of Richard Achilles Bal
Iinger and his conduct of the depart
ment of the interior.
Amy one who read Mr.. Piuchot'
recent address at the University cIuI
dinner in New York should have nl
doubt in this matter.
In the course of his address the then
chief forester said:
We have allowed the great corpora
tion TO occupy with their own men the
strategic points in business, in social
and i'll political life
With such men argument, compromise
or Cancellation is useless OF worse. The
only thing to do is TO fight them and
beat them

THURSDAY. JANUARY 10, 1910.
PROTECTION ASST IS.

The heated electoral contest in Great
Britain is having one good result. 1t is
helping to expose the miserable policy
Of protection in its nakedness. Joseph
Chamberlain, and the other protection
lists over there, would exempt from
taxation the vast estates Of the land
lords, while they would place the bur
dens Of government, and indirect sub
sides besides, upon consumers Of food
and other necessaries Of life. A glance
across the sea may help some citizens
Of the United States to see more plainly
how they are humbugged over here in
the matter Of federal taxation. When
the eyes Of the people are fairly opened
there will be a revision downward that
all can understand.

Celestial New Year,

According to the Chinese calendar,
the new year begins on the 25th of
january. The day is celebrated with
great reioicings. Professions and fes-
rivals of the carnival sort are held in
the principal cities. The Chinese are
extremely fond of fireworks and are
adopts in the manufacture of them.
Many kinds are used in their New
Years celebrations. The noisy kinds
are particularly popular, so that the
professions move along in a hula
baIoo o: popping noises. The process
SfOns differ in the different localities.
At Cantop. for instance, one curious
feature is the bearing aloft of little
girls on long poles. The girls are
CARRIED to represent idols. Borne high
above the crowd, each girl is sheltered
by Il BIG umbrella carried on a still
longer pole. They look like pretty
flowers rising above Il meadow. One
of these quaint professions is always
q most interesting sight to the for
eigner

ROBERT N. COLTRIN
SHOT BY HIS SUPER
INTENDENT.
Former Resident OF 0pelousas
In Seriously Wounded at
Grenada, Miss

Robert M. Goltrin, for a number
Of years a resident Of 0pelousas, was
shot and seriously wounded at Gre
NADIA, Miss, where he now resides
with his family, on last Monday
evening.
Coltrin is an engineer, and now
occupies the position of chief engi-
neer of the Grenada Compress Go.
Denman, the superintendent Of the
same compress, did the shooting.
|Coltrin was shot over the heart, iii
the shoulder and in the wrist
From information received, there
was not the best of feeling existing
between Denman and CoItrin Mon
day Coltrin put d negro TO work fix
ing some pipes. Denman i~nterfered,
Directing to the negro doing the
work. Coltrin told Denman that the
general superintendent had SO in
structed him, and that he (Denman)
had better 60 back to his Office and
attend to his business. Denman went
to his Office and soon returned with a
pistol. Coltrin went into the engine
room. where Denman pursued him,
and placing the pistol to Coltrin's
body, fired. The men clinched and
Coltrin got the pistol and beat DEN
man over the head with it. Denman
Wrested the pistol from Coltrin again
and shot him twice. It is supposed
that someone interfered at this juno
ture. Coltrin was left for dead.
Coltrin is d member of the Elks,
Knights of PYthias and Redmen of
0pelousas, and all Of these lodges
have profered help.
The last news was that he was do
ing well, and expected to recover.
