RADIANT HAIR
EVERY WOMAN CAN HAVE IT
THESE MODERN DAYS.

Nothing keeps a woman youthful
more than close attention to the hair.
ANY woman whose hair is dull, faded
or lusterless cannot be either beauti-

Dull hair casts around its owner an
environment of stupidness, while the
woman with brilliant, lustrous and
luxuriant hair. though she may be far
inferior in intellect than her dull
haired sister. carries off the honors
because of her respondent hair.

Quoted without parallel for orderli-

Only a handful of policemen were to

er tranquility and regularity.
The Prussian official theory that
working men cannot be trusted to air

organization which is not likely soon
to be forgotten
Three separate demonstrations took

one in the outskirts, at the Treptow

The Consumers influence.

From the New York Tribune.
The recent decline in wholesale prices
OF commodities including not only ma
terial for manufacture but also most
food products is SO general as to sug-
gest q hope that reaction has at last
set in against the upward trend. The
reaction If it is one may be only tenn

of the upward movement which has
been going on for several years or it.
may be definite and mark the turning
point in this long series of price
changes. But, at any rate counter
current has set in, as is evident from
the present prices of various commo-
dities as compared in the New York
Journal of Commerce with the highest
prices quoted for those commodities
in recent years.

can stand great deal of that without
being seriously hurt. The light weight
of children does not injure grass I'M
less the ground is wet or the grass is

be regulated, but not prohibited. One
of the great charms of Paramount park

on the ticket, and full confidence in
the party's success at the polls. There
is noble response to the call TO arms.
Il was gratified very much while
in WASHINGTON when. during my con-
versation with President Taft. the
president expressed very urgent de-
sire that the republican congressional.
state and legislative tickets should be
successful in this state. The president
has in mind the Importance of the eff
feet this campaign will have on future
campaigns. particularly in the read
justment of the congressional delega-
ton in proportion TO republican ma
jorities in the districts, In his solicit
tude for our success Ieam sure the
president is sincere. His heart is set
upon republican success in Indiana.
He declared to me that the people of
Indiana are justified in their cenfid-
ence in the honesty. Integrity and high
character of Senator Beyeridge as exs
emplified by his work in congress.
There is no question but that the
! republicans are getting together. The
elimination by the democratic state
convention of all of the aspirants for
senator, save one. will be of material
assistance to us in our congressional
and legislative campaigns. The state
ment by the democrats. that the tariff
will be the paramount issue in the CAM
paign does not make it SO. The issues
will define themselves. The people
will determine them and vote accord
! ingly.'
Chairman Lee says that 1t Is the In
tention to ask Theodore Roosevelt to
come to Indiana and make several
speeches for Senator Beverage, just as.
was stated in these dispatches several
weeks ago. He points out that Senator
Beveridge always answered the call OF
| Mr.. Roosevelt when he was president
| and that he believes the former presi-
dent will gladly consent to come out
here and help Beveridge this year.
John l.. Griffiths. consul general at
London, one of the best orators In
diana ever produced, will also be ask
/ ed to come home during the campaign
and take the stump for the ticket. II
is probable too. that Senator Dolliver
of Iowa, will make several speeches in
/ this state.
/ The democrats are banking on VIII
liam jennings Bryan for speaking
campaign in Indiana in behalf of John
w. Kern. his running mate In 1905.
Whether he will come or not Is not yet

News SerSice-3
London, May THE inhabitants of
Tiptree, Essex, the home Of great
ham industry owned by Messrs. Viii
kin, Limited, are now about to enjoy
the privileges of co-partnership.
For twenty years the workpeople
have thrived under a system whereby
they have shared in the profits OF the
concern according to their own en-
beavers, and under this principle has
been created the most wonderful little
village in the country.
No one ever leaves or wants to
leave Triptree. Its people are con-
tented and happy, and have no crav-
ing for the life Of the great cities.
The secret of this pleasant state of at
fairs lies solely in the bonus schemes
employed by Messrs. Wilkin. Limited.
Mr.. Wilkin. who is seyenty-five
years of age and the active head OF
the firm, is known as the father OF
the village" and it was under his
parental influence that the bonus
scheme matured and made the village
what 1t is.
The co-partnership idea he said
in a recent interview lis the outcome
of the success of the bonus scheme.
81 have always found that my work
people have done their best and that
they take an extraordinary interest in
their work under this system.
During the whole time the busl-
ness has been running only one man
has left to answer the call to town
life.

when one morning. to my surprise.

works.
