A Clean Head
Best Thing To Do If You Have Any
Hair Trouble.

The frequent use of Birt's Head
Wash imparts to the scalp a feeling
of cleanness, freshness and invigor-
alton that is hard to describe. 1t
opens up the pores that lead down
to the hair roots, and removes every
vestige of dandruff and scales. 1t
contains the best ingredients known
for use on the hair and scalp. and
these ingredients are printed in full
one in each package. Birt's Head Wash
puts the scalp in such healthy con-
dition that the loss of hair is stopped
naturally. 1t contains no free alkali.
as is the case with the, general run
of soaps and shampoos, and there is

principal ingredients in many So
called hair remedies. Free alkali is
deadly in its effect on the hair, anf
alcohol makes the hair turn gray

The CitXO Oct. 8.

Clyde itci.'s last play, "The City"
which the Messrs. Shubert are sending
to the Opera house next Monday with
the o. icinal Lyric Theatre cast and
production, has occasioned more dis
cuss on than any purely American play,
due in main, TO the interest impelling
story and the phase of village and city
lie which is presented in a manner
likely to arouse debate.
The New York World spoke editorial
ly of the play in the following way:
"a rosthumous play by Clyde Fitch.
The tity,' showing the lure of a great
metropolis, has made a sensation, and
mot people. inferring from the title
only, might take it as another indict-
ment of city life. which it is not The
age-old attack upon the town as COM
pared with the country persists, but
is it justified by either history or OBJ
servation?
Nearly all civilization is the product
of the city, where mind meets mind and
each becomes brighter from the con-
tact. Masses of population may en-
gender great vices, but they also en-
gender great virtues and if they do
not produce they certainly develop the
finest and keenest INTELLIGENCE that we
have.
Some of the blacklist crimes are
committed in the country. Conan
Doyle has Sherlock Holmes. in one of
his best stories, point out this fact.
The country man is not more honest
than the city man, although he may
lack the opportunities. Flaubert ana
BalZac have drawn grim pictures OF
sord;' meanness in the rural life OF
France Tolstoy has done as much rol
Russia, and Sudermann. 1bsen ana
Hardy have told similar black stories
of thei1 own countries"

FOR TUBERCUIOsIs SUNDAY.

Rev. Charles F. Aked, D. D.. pastor
of the Fifth Avenue Baptist church of
New York city, and DR.. Lawrence F.
Flick, the famous Philadelphia special
list, and chief organizer of the last In
ternational Congress on tuberculosis
both issued statements to the newspa-
pers recently endorsing in most en-
phatic language the movement for a
National tuberculosis Sunday on
April "a.
Or. Aked says: ct am profoundly
thankful to know that the National
Association for the Study and Proven
ton of tuberculosis is planning on
great scale a National tuberculosis
Sunday I shall be glad to cooperate
to the limit of my ability and oppor-
tunity. In the old days a doctors
diagnosis, Consumption was regard
ed as a sentence of death, and the
prevalence of tuberculosis was thought
of in the light of some mysterious
visitation of Cod Today we know
that tuberculosis is durable, and. what
promises even more for the human
race, that it is preventable. Prevent
able diseases ought to be prevented.
And the Church of the Living God,
with the memory of Him whom we
love to call the Good Physician of
whom it is recorded that He went
about doing good and that He healed
many that were sick of divers Diseases
should be in the van Of those who love
their fellows. seeking to prevent pre-
ventable ills. The world is cursed by
ignorance and darkness. 1t is to be
blessed by knowledge and light. Tuber-
culosis is born of ignorance; it flourish
es in the darkness. And If the light of
the knowledge of the glory of God
shines from the face of Jesus Christ
into the church, it must stream again
from the church into dark homes and
into dark lives and the dark places of
the city where physical and moral evils
abound. Social problems are spiritual
at heart. We worship God by serving
man. And I wish you every success in
your effort to enlist the enthusiastic
and consecrated service of the Chris
tan church."
DR.. Flick, after expressing his keen
interest in the movement, and his de-
sire to be of all possible assistance.
says: mo body of men has better
vantage ground for good work in the
crusade against tuberculosis than
clergymen. They are in close touch
with the people who need education
and what they say will be accepted as
from authority. Sucn a cause as the
stamping out of a plague must appeal
to them as it exemplif1es the quintes-
sence of religion. Every clergyman
in the land should become a teacher
of the doctrine of health and prevent
ing medicine He should, moreover. as
a leader of men become q living active
