A CLEVER HOAX?
Suspicious That They
Have Been Swindled.

Rochester. N. Y, Feb. 14.-Chief OF 70
lice Quigley has communicated with Sec
rotary of State Knox in reference to an
alleged exhibit by American manufactur-
ers at Lyons, France. Several weeks
ago two men appeared in Rochester ana
called on manufacturers here sollcltlns
articles for this exhibit. Leading manu-
facturers, they said, in all the large cit
les in the country were to be represented
at the exhibition, which they claimed mad
the sanction of the French government.
They told manufacturers here that gold
medals and diplomas would be awarded to
the best exhibits sent. Winners of diplo-
mas would be required to pay fee of 500
and of gold medals $500.
1t is claimed that they secured about so
exhibits, which We're taken by them to
New York City. A few weeks after this
the same men appeared here, bringing
with them many gold medals and diplo-
mas and they collected on them. SO 1ar
as known, no one who sent an exhlolt
failed to secure medal or diploma.
The two men collected about $4,000 in
Rochester.
Some of the manufacturers became sus-
picious and Chief Quigley had a talk with
the men. They showed him credentials
which purported to show that there is
such an exhibit in Lyons and that it was
maintained the year round.
Chief Quigley sent a letter to Secre-
tary Knox asking him to secure lnfor-
nation in regard tosthe exhibit from the
United States consul at Lyons. An an
swer to this letter has not yet been re-
ceived by him.
1t is thought that the diplomas and gold
medals were fixed up in New York City.

In Berlin. Paris, Vienna and other Eu-
ropean cities there are now regular
schools where the scientific care of the
hair is made a special study and the
teachers in these schools become so
skilled in the knowledge of hair that they
can tell merely by the touch whether 1t Is
in healthy condition or not. They also
know the effects Of different tonics on
different hair or different restoratives on
the same hair. 1t Is thoroughly estab-
lished that dyes are harmful to the hair.
All preparations claiming to restore gray
hair are subjected to the most rigid tests.
If found in, the least degree harmful the
public Is informed through official bulle-
tins issued from time to time. In Amer
lea there Is no such censorship, ana
many preparations claiming to restore
gray hair are only temporary dyes that
do not go to the root Of the trouble, which
is impoverishment Of the hair glands.
