KANSAS COMMENT
TALKrNG on HAIR.

Many doctors insist that women who
use false hair are taking the chances
OF contracting loathsome scalp dis
eases. That women have contract
ed such diseases In this way
Is an established fact. If there
Is but one chance in a million
OF encountering such a disaster. why
take that chance? The false hair used
Dy American women comes from the
old countries. Some of it is from the
heads OF dead Cinnamon; living China
men never part with their hair-and a
great deal is from the peasant women
who have indescribabIe scalp diseases
It is a surprising thing that women
seldom are satisfied with the hair that
nature gave them. The idiotfc Gus
tom OF padding the head with false
hair is bad enough, and dangerous
enough, but there are worse things.
There are multitudes of peroxide
blondes" in the country-fool women
who have ruined their hair forever by
doping it with chemicals that bleached
1t to straw color The hair thus
bleached loses all its natural luster
and softness, and in time becomes
rusty and a fright to everybody.
Why are women SO foolish? Why
don't they go to some institution where
females are taught to pound sand and
come in out of the rain?
1t is a sad thing to see young girls
wearing several pounds of false hair.
and with painted or powdered faces.
They would look a million times bet
ter with their own hair, even If it's
thin, and the paint on their faces will
spoil their natural compilations. There
are no harmless cosmetics, no matter
what the druggists say.-Emporia Ca
zette.
WHAT THE FARM LACKS.
What steps shall be taken to have
the back to the farm movement made
effective? The drift is all the other
way. Farming pays much better than
the average town occupation and has
less worry about 1t. Why do not
people go back to the farm? One
reason is the farm is not sufficiently
attractive. There are not enough
places to go, not enough diversion.
We are amusement mad. With pic
ture shows at every school house and
band concerts at every cross roads
possibly the noise of the farm would
be heard loud enough to amount to
a call.-Lawrence Journal.

EXPERIMENT WORTH TRYING.

We observe that the city of Montreal
in its progress through the trials and
tribulations of municipal government,
has turned to the expedient of using
doctor for mayor.
There are obvious points in the physi
clan and surgeon which should qualify
him for this important office to excel
lent advantage as compared, for ex-
ample, with one whose habit had been
to regard things as properly knocked
down to the highest bidder. A doctor,
as we all know, must be discreet sort
of person, who will not tell everything
he knows and some things he does not;
he has to be careful about promising
to do a thing one day and doing the
opposite the next.
We should not like to say offhand
that a doctor would be the ideal means
of escape for a city that needs some
different sort of mayor from what 1t
has. but we might go SO far as to in
clude the medical profession along
with all other professions, trades and
occupations whatever. with possibly
the one exception of auctioneer, as be-
ing almost certain to supply a much
needed improvement. - indianapolis

ERON OTHER PENS
PHILOSOPHY AND PLAsTERs.

For the most part mankind has
learned to accept the varied happen
ings of life in a philosophical spirit
But there always will be people who,
forgetting the inspired adage which re-
cites that sufficient unto the day is
the evil thereof, continually look
ahead for trouble.
The other day a big snake in the
Bronx zoo was found to be suffering
from bronchitis. The ordinary RENE
dies were given and in addition the
reptiles throat was wrapped with adj
hesive plaster for a distance of six
feet-the unusual space being covered,
perhaps, because it is difficult to tell
where a snakes throat ends and the
rest of him begins. And now an I'M
easy correspondent writes to his daily
paper and asks how the doctor and
the attendants propose to remove the
plaster. 1t is possible that this in
quiring person has had trouble with
plasters and knows how unpleasant 1t
is suddenly to separate the stickers
from the human skin. But, why wor-
ry about the snake? Why look for
trouble even before the plasters begin
to draw? When the proper time comes
and the usefulness of the big muffler
is ended, it is possible the cobra will
slough the plasters as he might his
skin.-CIeveland Plain Dealer.

day mornings issue printed an ex.
tremely sensational article in the
form of cable dispatch from Berlin
detailing something Of the operations
OF q gang of swindiers covering all
Europe and headed By an Individual
known as Marquis Rance. OF pecu-
liar interest in this article is the
statement that Miss Florida Settle is
wanted by the police in Berlin for al
legged completely with these criminals
Miss Settle Is said to be the wife of
one OF the band, former lieutenant
in the Australian hussars and is re-
puted to be used as the chief decoy
OF the federation, her success in this
work being marked owing to her great
beauty and charm of manner This
young woman is understood to be
Miss Flossie Settle, a member of the
well-known Settle family of North
Carolina and herself one of the mos,
beautiful women that ever lived in
that state. She is related throughout
the state and has frequently visited
there. For the past several years,
however, she has been residing
abroad.
This special cable dispatch as it ap-
peared in The World is as follows
Wanted by Police.
Berlin, Sept. 25-A young women
who, before her marriage, was Miss
Florida Settle, and who has many rela-
tives In New York and elsewhere in

also members Of the gang. The cid.
est Of the Schwabs Is said to have
