by Attorney General Wickersham that

resides for any great length of time
in another country for the purpose of

sular agents proofs that he docs not
really intend to take up a permanent
residence in n foreign country.
The local United States steamboat

ton to find out the permanent resi-
dence of all captains, pilots and engin-
GERS holding licenses from the Buralo
Office. All persons who hold licenses

dents Of this country. 1t is said that
many OF the men on the lakes who

PRESENTS new
TAXATION PLAN
ATTORNEY GENERAL KUHN
URGES SEPARATION OF FIN
ANcEs or COUNTY
AND STATE.

In a paper prepared by attorney
General Franz Kuhn and reed before
The Michigan Association of Prosecut-
rag Attorneys az Lansing, the state
chief legal adviser presented ls1m''
views ON taxation which are MT i'm
accord with the system now in use in
Michigan. but which met with the
unanimous and hearty approval Of the
attorneys assembled.
The proposition that Mr.. Kuhn
made ana which ne declares that The
state must soon meet is the separation
of state and county finances. He ad-
mits that the sentiment Is not SUN
GENTLY aroused 10 bring this about vet,
nevertheless he advances the idea that
any system that seeks 10 maintain an
equitable system OF uniform TAXATION
throughout the state must necessarily
fail because Of the inuumeraalc bases

of a central equalizing board TO arrive

TIPS FOR SEA BATHERs.
How Hair Injured by Salt Water May
49,, Be Restored.

How Hair Injured by Salt Water May
49,. Be Restored. @
First an application of grease and
then a most thorough shampooing and
massaging are the two agents most
beneficial for restoring color and tex
ture to hair that has been injured by
salt water. Unfortunately the treat
ment is not unlike that given when
effort is being made to restore color
after bleaching, for in both cases the
condition is similar. Natural oils of
the scalp have been dried, and it is
many weeks before they are brought
back to normal. ~ r.
When salt water is the cause of in
jury it becomes necessary before do
my anything else to remove all the
sickness which sea water makes. Its
effect upon the hair is very peculiar,
being almost messy" SO gummy do
the locks become, and, while it may
seem easy to wash this out, it is very
difficult, Soap cannot be used. It only
makes a bad matter worse, so there
must be repeated rubbings in fresh
warm water, changing it frequently so
that the salt may not be worked back
to the scalp. Hair which is clean has
creaky feeling between the fingers
when wet, and the test should be
made when trying to remove all salt.
The touch to the fingers is not unlike
that Of silk, and when this is pro-
no11nf.oH iS 70 think tho 1oolyS
| are clean. Drying should be done
both by exposure to sun and by rub
bling with soft towels, when the scalp
is ready for treatment.
Particularly we'll suited to the condi-
! ton is a cream made from one and a
half ounces of white vaseline, three
quarters of an ounce Of cold dra WI
| castor Oil, seven-eighths of a dram OF
gallic acid and fifteen drops of laven
der oil. This is made into a smooth
paste, and the hair is divided on the
scalp, rubbing the application in the
line left bare. The finger tips are
really best for putting it on.
| Divisions should be made close to
gether, rubbing we'll until the whole
scalp has been anointed, after which
ten or fifteen minutes massage is tt
be given. This treatment should be
had every night, and if the grease is
put on carefully it will not show
through the hair. If an oily look be
gins to appear the ointment may be
omitted for a night, but massage anC
good brushing daily are to be kept up.
! 1t is SO much easier to prevent in
jury from salt water than to remove
| it that effort should be made in the
former direction. Treatment for bleach
ed locks is the same, save that quaint
ties of oil must be used daily if any

CHINA SET IN w1sTARIA PATTERN.

The bedroom Of the present day has
not only it's draperies, bed cover, cush

color scheme, but the bureau and

creating a harmonious whole. Silver
or the French celluloid sets are always
in good taste, says the Woman's Home
Companion, but not within every ones
means. But there is very charming

when the design is not too difficult of

beginner in ceramics.
Such a design is the one illustrated
