success.

Wetting the Hair.

The habit of wetting the hair before
dressing il eventually causes dryness of
the scalp Such effect comes slowly, how
ever. so the impoverishment of natural
oils can be overcome by applications of
grease. In point of fact there are few
scalps which do not require such treat
ment once a week. although l am bound
to say few women give it, so afraid are
they of having oily hair.
When the scalp is dry. but not suffi-
GENTLY to cause dandruff. beef marrow
pomade is an excellent food. 1t is made
from one gill of beef marrow, melted and
strained, one teaspoonful of olive oil and
a few drops of violet essence. To apply,
the hair is divided, and the grease put
down the part with the finger tips. Di-
visions should be made close together
until the whole scalp has been covered.
If carefully done, there will be no grease
on the long hair
Night and morning a thorough brushing
should be given. using a brush with hard
brstles that are long enough to &c
through the hair about the head, and
reach the surface of the scalp. This will
stimulate the glands to throw off natural
oils, as they should, and after month or
e;x weeks the weekly application OF
grease may not be needed
\ tonic of some kind should be used on
the mead at least every OtIer Gay, even
when the hair is IN good condition, fol
this acts as the ounce of prevention. One
such tonic | like is made from one dram
of alcoholic tincture of cantharides, one
half dram of capsicum, two drains of nuA
vonica, three-quarters of an ounce OF
cocoanut' oil and two and one-half ounces
of grain alcohol.
For applying this soft small brush OF
a tiny sponge is best.

Walnut Stain.

Walnut hair stain may be made by
breaking the hulls into jar and filling
the latter loosely. Over the hulls must
be poured grain alcohol, the jar lid
screwed down tight and let stand over
night. In the morning the alcohol is pour
ed off, squeezing the hulls, straining that
portion through muslin. The hulls are
then covered with cold water and slowly
brought to a boil to simmer until the
hulls are mushy. The liquid thus obtain
ed is strained off and, when cold, is add
ed to the alcohol.
The hair must be washed and thorough
ly dried before putting on the stain with
a brush. The application must be re-
peated.

Apples on the Stick.

Apples on the stick, as commercially
prepared, are usually made with glucose

glucose sold that conforms with the pure

If you would get some of this glucose

IS BASE BALL HONEST?
By FREDERIC ]. FASKIN.

Professional base balls chief asset is
firm public belief in its honesty in
the intent to win.
The recent outburst of popular indig-
nation against certain members of the
st. Louis American League team,
| charged with deliberately Sinking in
| order to allow Larry Lajoie of Cleve-
land to make hits. and thereby beat
out Ty Cobb of Detroit for the auto
mobile to be awarded the champion
batter of the year, was an evidence of
how strongly the public cherishes the
honesty of the national pastime
When such cases as that alleged to
have arisen in ST. Louis are published
they attract attention all over the
country. even when they take place in
the smallest of minor leagues.
Professional base ball has been pc
culiarly free from suspicion that the

as a result of desperate attempts to
win at any cost.
1t was this motive which made the
fans regard them leniently. Deliber-
ate efforts to throw games are almost
unknown.
About thirty years ago four men
were expelled from professional base
ball for life for this crime against hon
esty. Since then nothing of the sort
has been proved in any of the larger
leagues.
Base ball differs markedly in this
respect from wrestling, foot-racing
and professional sculling. All these
have lost their vogue because of
agreements on the part of one con-
ably above boxing and horse racing. in
which pulling or quitting has been proved
many times.
The intensity of the winning idea in
base ball was perfectly demonstrated
by the case of

Black Maqic.

The memory of Clara's in%credulOus
glance remained with her as some
thing curious, and she was not unpre-
pared to be challenged when, the next
morning, she hurried down the hall,
drawing on her gloves. Clara's door

ing lightly on the threshold, had this
time no questions for her. "Remem-

Flora threw back a gay "All right"
but she was in danger of forgetting
even the object of their errand, once
she and Harry were out in the bright
glare of the street. The wind, Keen

woods, blew at their back down the
short block of pavement, and buffeted
them broadside as they waited on the
corner for the slow-craWling little car.

He had so disturbed her, his pres

IN encounter with Clara to remind her
of her arrangement for the evening.
The dance? No, she had given that up.
She had promised Harry to be at
home. Clara wanted to know rather
austerely what she intended to do
about the dinner. This was dreadful!
Flora had forgotten it completely.
Nothing to be done but go, and leave
o message for Harry-apology, and
assurance that she would be home
early. She wondered if she were los
ing her memory.
She appeared to be changing alto
gether, for the dinner-a merry one
bored her. What she wanted was
to get away from it as soon as pos
sible for hat interesting evening.
When she had made the appointment
with Harry she had been excited by
the thought that he might tell her
wether he had learned anything from
the major that morning in the matter
of the ring. But now she was more
e~ngrossed with the idea of asking
about Kerr-whether Harry had real
ly met him-if so, where; and, final
ly, why did not Harry want her to
mention that embassy ball?
Primed with these questions, she

at her own red stone portal at ten.

by the Way.
Flora liked this funny little dining
room with walls as frail as box-boards,
low-ceiled and flooded with sun. 1t
recalled surroundings she had known
later than the mining camp, but long
before the great red house. 1t seemed
to her that she fitted here better than
the Purdies. She looked across at
Kerr, sitting opposite, to see if per-
haps he fitted too. But he was for
eign, decidedly. He kept about him
still the hint of delicate masquerade
that she had noticed the night before.
Out of doors, alone with her, he had
lost it. For a moment he had been
absolutely off his guard.
She rose from the table with the
feeling that in an hour all three of
them la become quite old friends of
his, though without knowing anything
further about him.
We must do this again." Mrs. Pur-
lie said, as they parted from her in
he garden.
Surely we WILL" Kerr answered
her.
But Flora had the feeling that they
never, never would. For him it had
been a chance touching on a strange
shore.
But at least they were going away
together. They would walk together
as far as the little car, whose terminal
was the edge of the parade-ground.
But just outside of the gate be

He waved with his cane. "There is

ers on the way, at least" He looked
at her whimsically. There are three

She was pleased that he lac 40

that he had suggested the longer way.

chosen branched out upon the main

downward into the hollow. From there
