GENERAL DEBATE
ON THE ARMY BILL

Washington, January S.-General debate
on the army appropriation bill consumed
the entire time the House was in ses-
sion today and as there seemed to be
no disposition to discuss that measure,
members took advantage of the oppor-
tunity to make speeches on a variety of
subjects.
Representative Hull of Iowa, chairman
of the committee on military affairs, ex-
planned that the bill carried an appro-
priation of S9o,212,7lS for the maintenance
of the army during the fiscal year 1911
and urged its passage as reported, stat
Ing that the estimates had been pared to
the bone. Representative Bartholdt of
Missouri intimated hat he would offer
an amendment to the measure providing
for, the restoration of the army canteen
when 1t Is taken for amendment.
A lengthy speech in opposition to ship
subsidy legislation and directed partic-
ularly against the Humphrey bill recently
introduced was made by Representative
Kustermann of Wisconsin. Representa-
tive Oldfield of Arkansas made his mai
den speech in the House, asking for the
repeal of a law granting railroads the
right to cut timber from government
lands adjacent to their rights of way, and
Representative Smith of California spoke
In opposition to the government exer-
cising control over water power sites in
the west. Representative Goulden OF
New York spoke in favor of deeper wa
terways and had read the resolutions
adopted at the recent Norfolk-Atlantic
deeper waterways convention.

Fierce Fire In Chicago.

Chicago, January Sire in the To-
story Great Northern Office building,
adjoining the Great Northern hotel,
and in which is the Great Northern
theatre, created excitement early to-
night. The fire. which burned fiercely
on the sixth floor. broke out an hour
before theatre time. That the build
ing was flreproof was demonstrated by
the fact that the flames. originating in
tailor shop, were burning fiercely
before the fire was discovered and did
not spread to any other part of the
building.

Abbeville, s. G., January 8.-(Spe-
cial. "A telephone message from Due
West states that robbers dynamited
the postoffice safe at that place last
night and escaped with all the money
and stamps. Due West is in Abbeville
county, just 10 miles north of Able
vile, and the supposition is that the
safe blowers drove in that direction
and escaped on train. Five years ago
this postoffice was robbed in exactly
the same manner and several hundred
dollars was taken at that time.

Scalp Humors
And Loss Of Hair
Lone Continued Dandruff Causes In
clpIent Badness, But Cannot Be
Cured BY Hair Tonics.
A Trial Package Of stuart's Calcium
Waters Sent Free.

The complaint called dandruff is one
which annoys thousands of people, 1t Is
characterized by rapid and profuse ex-
foliation or peeling off of the scarf tissue
of the scalp in the form of small, dry
scales. which fall continually upon tho
clothing, especially upon the shoulders,
muSh to the annoyance Of the person af-
fected with the disease.
r, When dandruff Is present in the hair,
there is an almost constant and intoler-
able itching of the scalp and rubbing or
Irritating the skin with the fingers only
aggravates the trouble.
In some cases the hair and scalp may
be excessively dry, while in others they
are very oily, indicating over-secretion
Of the scalp glands in one case and in
sufficient secretion In the otner, and both
constitute diseased state.
After one has been troubled with dand-
ruff for some time, the hair begins to fall
out, and If proper treatment Is not used
a complete badness will ensue ultimately.
The first thing the average person who
has scaly scalp and falling hair does is
to begin the use of a hair tonic. suppos-
ing the trouble to be a local disease ex
clusively. Such is not the case, however,
and the use of tonics and other local ap-
plications will not cure such troubles, as
their existence indicates that the blood
Is In q devitalized, depleted and impure
state, and the circulation through the
scalp and through the surface of the
skin generally is sluggish and sub-nor-
NAL.
The employment Of a hair tonic or hair
salve then is utter nonsense when one de-
sires to cure dandruff, falling hair, or any
other scalp disease, as the blood must be
purified, It's circulation through the skin
restored, and the system toned up gen.
orally.
sTUART's CALCIUM WATERS have
cured many 1ong-standing cases of dand-
ruff and other scalp diseases, accompa-
MED by undue falling of the hair, after
salves and hair tonics had failed to give
even temporary relief, for the simple rea-
son that these powerful little waters in
variably purify the blood so thoroughly
and increase its volume and improve its
circulation, that the hair and scalp are
nourished in a way which puts an end to
the presence of dandruff, and the hair
roots and follicles no longer waste away.
Thus the hair being supplied with nutri-
ment In the form of plenty of rich, red,
pure blood naturally discontinues falling
out.

Standard Electric Co.

IN mentioning the different concerns
that took part in building and equip
ping FL PasO's new skyscrapers the
Standard Electric company should not
be overlooked.
This enterprising firm under the man
agement of Mr.. S. A MiEiron, did the
electric wiring for many of the largest
buildings in the city They were
awarded the contracts for wiring the
new Toltec club,I the Roberts Banner
building. the Rio >Grande Valley Bank
building, American National Bank
building. Morehouse building, and the
new Silberberg store. They also in
stalled the electric. fixtures in the new
Krakauer, York & Moye building Their
securing these immense contracts teS-
titles to the thOroughness and stability
OF their worn.
In addition to the installing of wir-
ing and fixtures this firm makes a
speciality of nickel. brass and copper
plating and 'refinishing. Their place of
business, at 107 South Stanton street,
IS fitted up in most attractive manner
with weathered fixtures and coIored
glass. Their window presents one Of
the most novel displays of electric
goods to be found in the city
This company having already demon
strated the fact that no job is too large
or too intricate, It is safe TO predict
that the Standard Electric company will
continue to play a prominent part in
the advancement of FL PaSo.

UNCLE SANS BIGGEST STUNTS

In this extremity they appealed to the
