FOR ITCHING SCALPS
 DANDRUFF AND DRY,
 THIN, FALLING HAIR
Cuticura Soap and Ointment Afford a Speedy, Economical and
 Agreeable Treatment.

To allav itching and irritation of the scalp. prevent dry, thin and falling hair, remove crusts, scales and dandruff. and promote tbe growth and beauty of the hair of women, the following special treatment has been found most effective.
 On retiring, comb the hair out straight all around, then begin at the side and make a parting, gently rubbing Cuticura ointment into the parting with bit of soft flannel held over the end of the finger. Anoint additional partings about half an inch apart until the whole scalp has been treated, the purpose being to get the ointment on the scalp skin rather than on the hairs
 The next morning, shampoo with Cuticura soap and hot water. Shampoos alone may be used as often as agreeable, but for women's hair once or twice a month is generally sufficient for this special treatment. Men may apply Cuti- cura ointment as they would pomade or in any other convenient way, prefer ably at night, as often as necessary to keep the scalp clean and the hair from falling, but may shampoo lightly with Cuticura soap every morning, when making the toilet.
 Notwithstanding that Cuticura soap and ointment are sold by druggists and dealers throughout the world, those wishing to try this treatment may do so without expense by sending to "Cuticura," Dept. U, Boston, for free sample of each, with 32-p. book on the care and treatment of skin and hair.

SOME WEEKEND NEWS AND
 GOSSIP FROM WASHINGTON
By RALPH NJ. wHrTEsIDE

1 Washington, August 1s.-(Special.)- There is a general impi ession that the
 United States is away behind Europe in
 the matter of aviation in so far as it re-
 lates to war While there may be a
 measure of truth in this our experts de- | clare there is no reason to feel alarm
 The aeroplane is in the process of devel- lopmeut as vet and while great strides
 have been made over the first Wright
 machine, the perfect plane is long way
 in the distance yet.
 Some of the brightest minds in the navy and army are at work on the problems Involved in turning out really eHlcient and reliable aeroplane and those in au- thority are calmly confident that when the necessity arises the United States will be found to have an air fleet equal to any and with corps of aviators who for skill and daring cannot be excelled.
 | The government of the United states IS not asleep to the importance of the air. ship both in land and sea warfare we are thoroughly up to the times and thefe l is no danger of our being caught mapping. The United States army and navy air men do not go in much for contest races and spectacular stunts, but it Is recog- nized that there are no more efficient avia- tors anywhere than Chandler, Arnold, Beck and their brethren of the cloth. 
 In the event that Speaker Champ Clark tis selected by the democracy as standard bearer In the presidential election of 1912. a young man who is now in Washington will figure in the campaign almost as prominently as the speaker himself.

 E. Phillips Oppenheim, the English nov elist, is fond of American Holsters, which are more delicate than their English cousins. During his recent visit to New York MT.

 It is related of MT. Oppenheim that one night his waiter brought him lobster that lacked a claw.

"Olive culture is one of the oldest fruit industries of California; remarked A. J. Brasian, a prominent fruit raiser of the Golden Gate the other day. 'The first olive orchard in California was planted in San Diego in 1769 and that country is now a large producer of olives and olive oil. There are large orchards in other counties, and every year adds to the number of trees. There are 9S counties reporting more than 1000 trees each, ranging from Shasta on the north to the Mexican line on the south.
 "The number of trees, as reported by the State board of equalization, I under stand, is more than 100000 Los Angeles leading with more than 300,000 bearing trees. Of course this country cannot compare with Italy in the production of olives, but the industry Is growing, and while it is not attractive from remun- erative point of view I believe it can be made so. Estimates of the production of olive oil for this year range from 750,O00 to 100000 gallons, and from 100000 to 1,250,0OO gallons of pickled olives.

 "The Holland of America-that is what they call Shagit county, Washington" '" says R. w. Mckenzie, of Seattle. This appelatlon was conferred on Ska git county because of Its immense crops and it's wonderfully diked lands. I do not believe that there Is a county in America that can produce greater va riety of crops and other farm products. Besides its grain Skagit county butter Is becoming famous in the northwest. Fruit and garden truck are being raised in great abundance and has fine market in Seattle. M
 There are many opportunities for the farmer in that part of the country Few persons have any idea of the immense area of logged-off land. which at a small cost can be turned into money by the man with small means. Where five years ago there were only old timers with their big farms. today there are dozens of small farmers with ten or twenty acres who are making a good liv-
 ing and supporting their families in com fort. A ten or twenty acre lot will SUD- ply pasture for ten or fifteen cows whose milk can be sold to the conden- sary plants at an average price of Ia cents a gallon, and there will be plentv V of room left for fruit or garden patch, which returns ready cash at the nearest country store. Skagit county farmers have not until recently paid much atten- ton to fruit raising, but the recent ex- periments have shown that fine quality of fruit can be raised in the Skagit val ley as sthat which has made the Hood river of Oregon section famous'
 "rhe remarkable increase In the use of mileage has brought the auditing de- partment heads of the railroads almost to the point of despair" says John L. Morrison, railroad man of Minnea- polls. Since the railroad started the practice of issuing transferable mileage books, the use of that sort of transpor- tation steadily increased until nearly everybody who does much travelling buys mileage. I was told by Pennsylvania railroad official recently that that rail- road is selling mileage at the rate of more than one million month and off, cials of other railroads also are com menting upon the increasing demand for the mileage rates. Here Is where the auditing department comes in. Each piece of mileage surrendered by pas- senger must be counted, the number of coupons or miles on each strip being calculated, written down and then added The auditing departments are unable to keep up with the enormous amount of mileage turned in. I know of one rail- road which is four months behind in this work. All of the roads are endeavoring to install new methods. The auditing department of one of them is expert menting with counting machines, which may solve the problem"

To Be Sent Ten Feet a Letter Must
Travel 2e4 Miles.

One of the most remarkable mall
routes in the world is that which a
letter journeys in getting from Beebe
Plain, Vt, to Beebe Plain, Quebec,
Canada. While the two offices are
within ten feet of each other-are To-
Gated in the same room, in fact-a
letter mailed from one office to the
other must make trip of 294 miles
sixty-seven miles in Canada and the
rest in the United States.
The plain old fashioned store build
ing, which is situated on the inter-
national boundary line, contains both
the United States and Canadian Of
fees. There are separate entrances
to each. but both are in the same
room, have the same lobby, and there
are no partitions to mark the divi-
sion between the domain Of Uncle
Sam and the possession of King Ed
