Wordsworth's Sense of Smell.

Poets have not failed to do perfumes
justice. but one major poet-Words-
worth-went through life without
sense Of smell and was not sorry for
it. Nature. he told Aubrey de We're.
seemed to him all the more vision.
But once. and once only, did Words.
worth smell, and the prosaic occasion
illustrates the unpublished household
ways Of his time. He sat down with
his family to the midday dinner and
began to carve leg Of mutton. The
leg Of mutton was stuffed with onions.
and for once. and once only, the sense
of smell was revealed to him. The
onions, suddenly laid bare, conquered.

President and Mrs. Taft received til,
judiciary last night, the Supreme Cour
and the District courts, as well as hun
dreds OF those who come in close con
tact with their personnel, in a profes
sionai or social way, sharing the pleasure
OF the evening. The attendance was larg.
and interesting, especially in it's loca
phases. All were received long before
II o'clock, at which hour the Marine
Band transferred its activities to the
east room and there was dancing-not
very comfortable to be sure-since there
were too many participating or as look
ersson. The President and his wife and
the receiving party. promenaded through
the rooms after the formal presentations
were over. In freely mingling with their
guests they took away all the formality
which ordinarily hinges about a White
House reception. If it were not absolute.
ly necessary to invite hundreds and hun
dreds where dozen or two did in the
early days Of the republic, one might
hope to see a replica of those dignified
and reposeful pictures which appear now
and then in the shops showing an evening
party with President and Mrs. Wash

awed guests.

ceiving line with them Mrs. Sherman. Mrs.

ance.
Mrs. Taft, who looks better with each
public appearance, was radiant last night
Her dress was of deep rose velvet, the
bodice almost entirely of lace.
Mrs. Sherman was in white. Mrs Knox
in black and white. Mrs. MacVeagh in
pink satin. and Mrs. Meyer in black vel
vet with touches of pink on the corsage
Mrs. Ballinger was In a pink brocade
and Mrs. Nagel in white satin.

whom had assembled before the President
came down stairs. Mrs. White was with
her husband. and was splendidly gowned

A HOPEFUL MESSAGE TO SCALP
SUFFERERS AND men WHO'S
HAIR is THINNING

Dandruff now-bald later. The same
is true of scalp diseases. In fact bald
ness is scalp disease. The trouble
with the greasy salves and lotions, the
o-called dandruff and scalp cures, you
have tried so far is that they don't do
anything but temporarily relieve thu
itching and cake the dandruff so II
doesn't fall until its dried out again
Nothing can cure-really cure such
troubles but a real scalp medicine that
will kill the germs causing dandrufr
and scalp disease.
Learning from leading fellow drug
gists throughout America that they
had found a whirlwind cure for dan
druff, eczema and all diseases OF the
skin and scalp the Crystal Pharmacy
on proving to the laboratories COM
pounding the treatment that il Is the
most prominent drug store in this city
secured the agency for the remedy.
This remedy is ZEMO, the clean, LIQUID
preparation that kills the germ of dis
ease, and ZEAIO SOAP TO wash the
scalp or skin clear and clean OF the
dandruff or scale and by its antisep-
tic qualities soOthe and heal
Sold and guaranteed by druggists
everywhere and in Pensacola by the

MEETING OF
SAFETY BOARD
P. J. WILLIAMS RAISED osJEc-
TON TO APPLICATIONS FOR Po-
SITIoNS IN POLICE AND FIRE
DEPARTMENTS BEING HELD UP
BY HEADS OF THOSE DEPART
MENTS.

At last nights regular meeting of the
board of public safety an issue which
called for some discussion was raised
by P. J. Williams, member of the board.
1t was in regard to applications for
positions in the police and fire depart =
ments, and Mr.. Williams insisted that
hereafter all applications must be
brought before the board at the first
meeting after the application is made
to the chief Of either Of the depart
ments. Heretofore it has been the Gus
tom in both of the departments to file
the applications in regular order aud
present them whenever there is a need
for men. However, both the chief OF
the police department and the chief of
the fire department expressed their
Willingness hereafter to present them
at once Their only contention was
that if they are required to present the
applications Immediately, they will, IN
ell probability, have to present a num-
Der of them not approved, ii being
deemed by them unnecessary to ap-
prove an unlimited number Of applica-
lions when there are no positions open
PROCEEDINGS.
The meeting was called to order
with Chairman Johnson and Messrs
Williams and Villar present, and the
minutes of several regular and special
meetings were read and approved.
On account of the absence of wit
nesses, the charges against Officers
Ray, Anderson and Parnell. of the po-
lice department, were continued unit
the next regular meeting.
Charges were preferred against VIM
