GROWING HAIR ON BALD HEAD
Electricity Utilized by Latest Method
! More Effective Than Any Other
Process Tried.

The newest method of growing hair
on bald heads is by electricity. 1t Is
said to be more effective than any
process hitherto known. and promptly
checks tendency to falling hair
though of course when badness has
reached its final stage nothing will
help, and even the electric current
does not avail, the roots being dead.
For the purpose IN question cur
rent is applied to an exceedingly high
voltage, but of small amperage. This
is not so hard to understand as might
be imagined. Voltage is term of
pressure. When water is flowing out
of faucet one might call the rate Of
flow the voltage and the size Of the
stream the amperage. In the case OF
the bald-headed man who seeks cleo
trical treatment only small quantity
OF electricity is employed, but it is APP
piled at high pressure.
The result is vigorous stimulation
of the scalp and the roots of the hair.
II the latter have any vitality left in

conditions being restored, a becoming

ELECTRIC WAITER is NOVEL
Frenchman Arranees His House SO
That He Can Secure Numerous
Articles by Electricity.

The wonderful electric house of Mr..
George Knapp, in Paris, France, in
which the owner can be served with
anything he wants from a book to q
meal In any room In the house by
simply pushing a button, can hear
everything going on In any part OF the
house and see approaching visitors be-
fore they gain the entrance, has been
described before. But many new
things are continually being added,
one OF the most interesting being the
means by which dishes are made to
appear on the table.
The chef prepares each dish in its
proper order and has it ready waiting
on tray. When the host and his
guests are seated at the table. the
former touches button and the cleo
trically operated tray arrives through
a trap door in the top of the table.
When closed this tray looks like two
ordinary silver covers on the table.
BY pressing another button. the tray
with its dish is carried around the
central portion of the table. AS the
dish arrives in front of each guest.
the host touches third button, which
stops it while the guest is helping
himself. The dish passes all around
the table In this way, and then, on
again pressing the first button, 1t dis

to the kitchen.

The odor Of Tobacco.

There is no odor more disagreeable
than that Of stale tobacco smoke and
tobacco ashes Sometimes room be-
comes so permeated with it that it be-
comes hardly possible for delicate per-
sons to breathe in it. Here is rem
edy suggested by an Englishwoman
who suffered and oyercame:
Close the room up well overnight,
with the doors and windows tightly
shut, and leave in it a large pail full
of water, with few wisps of straw.
For some reason, the water and straw
together absorb the smoke. and even
take up the odor of ashes. Needless to
say. all discoverable ashes should pre-
viously have been removed and thrown
tway.
BY morning the room is odorless and
little airing will cool It out and put
1t again in condition for use.

COUNTRY AWAKE TO DANGER
Increase Of sanatorla and Hospitals
for consumptives Is Most
Gratifying.

The growth Of the crusade against
tuberculosis in the United States is
shown to good advantage in the two
directories that have been issued by
the National Association for the Study
and Prevention of tuberculosis and
the one in preparation. The first tu-
berculosis directory published in 1904,
by the tuberculosis committee of the
New York Charity Organization Socie-
ty and the National Association listed
1873 sanatoria and hospitals for con-
sumptives In the United States, for
some of which preliminary provision
only has been made. The combined
capacity of these institutions was
only 5000 beds. Thirty-two special
dispensaries and thirty-nine anti-tu-
berculosis organizations summed up
practically all of the fighting force
enumerated in the first directory.
The second directory was prepared by
the National Association for the Study
and Prevention of tuberculosis and
published under the auspices Of the
Russell Sage Foundation in August,
1908. This directory listed 24G sana-
toria and hospitals, an increase Of
107 from the former directory; 1853
dispensaries, an increase of 1926; and
1876 associations, an increase of 1876.
The number of hospital beds listed
In 1908 was 14,014.
The new directory that will be is
sued soon. will list over 400 sanatoria
and hospitals with a bed capacity of
nearly $4,000; more than 800 special
tuberculosis dispensaries; and fully
450 anti-tuberculosis associations and
committees. Since the first directory
was issued in 1904, the increase in
the number of agencies fighting con-
sumption aggregates nearly 500 per
cent
The National Association for the
Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis
would like to get in touch with all
agencies engaged in the fight against
tuberculosis, in order that they may

of healing internal disorders. may be
applied locally.
The inventors say that while the

1t is alleged further, on its behalf,
that the current, directed to any part
of the body on which it is intended to
operate, would produce sterilization

Electric Floats in Holland Parade.

Electric Floats in Holland Parade.
During the celebration of the birth
day of Queen Wilhelmina at The
Hague recently, a novel feature was
introduced. Instead OF the ordinary
floats on common drays or trucks, the
electric cars were used and decorated
in the most ingenious and original
fashion.
The novel idea excited the spirit Of
emulation among the decorators and
the cars were transformed in the most
fairy-like manner. this one into a
Moorish temple, that one into a Chi
nese pagoda, another into Dutch inn,
etc. 1t was an amusing and pictur-
esque spectacle and obtained an i'm

An Electric Ink Eraser.

A craftsman seldom has the pa
itence to erase an ink line from trac-
ing cloth properly. If the eraser is
operated with too much pressure, the
cloth is marred. The proper method
is to operate the eraser with light
but quick motion. Recently an cleo
trically driven eraser has been invent
ed, consisting of small motor pro
vided with a flexible shaft which car
ries a circular eraser at its outer end.
In order to clean the eraser of par
ticles of ink which it picks up, a clean
ing rubber is provided. which bears
lightly against the erasing rubber.
