Grateful: CD I am glad you like my canthrox shampoo recipe. DO not use water. as that is sufficient to thorough 1y cleanse the scalp and make the hair soft ,and. glossy. @ l cannot G, recom1 pm :, off. but would suggest trying the fol- lowing, which Is the most delightful toilet preparation you can use: Get four ounces of spurmax from the drug store and dissolve in half-pint of hot water. then add two teaspoonfuls glycerine, shake well and let cool. Use this in and give the skin a smooth and satiny feeling impossible with powder. This inexpensive toilet preparation acts as a complexion beautifier, and the sallow, HfeIess color of your skin will soon give way to a ruddy glow of youthful health.

Get from the. drug giSt an ounce of powdered delatone. and with a little mix enough water to make a paste. Spread thickly Oh of lending hairs and let remain two or three minutes. then remove and wash the skin carefully. While delatone is d tritie expensive. 1t never fails. and seldom is q second application neces- sary. To insure results, be careful to get the pure delatone.
 Mrs. Pat: Cold weather should not be an excuse for neglecting the hair and scalp. The reason you a!WayS eaten cold after q shampoo is because the mixture you employ opens the pores and robs the hair follicles of their oily secretion. This causes the scalp to be- come dry and hard and makes the hair brittle and difficult to manage. If you use canthrox Ger shampooing once q week for a while. you can soon correct this condition and avoid future colds after washing the head. A teasponful of canthrox dissolved in a teacup of hot water is ample for a good shampoo, and if the scalp is carefully masSa ged with this, it will remove dust and dan druff, and stimulate the hair follieles to healthy action, and the hair will become long, glossy and abundant

COMPARISONS.

Comparisons may be odious but they are often instructive. A part of Yer mont, at least, is wideawake as to the possibilities of making that state a summer resort. In struggling to make the place attractive they are producing a few figures from New Hampshire. This is what the White River Junction Leader has to say upon this subject:
 "A wise and discerning state policy has resulted in the visit to New Hamp shire of 100000 visitors each annual summer while none come to Vermont. New Hampshire pays her legislators $200 for the session, while Vermont pays s400, and in addition $14,000 to the bunch for mileage, the actual cost of which last year was just one-fifth of the s14.000. Eleven tenths of the inhabitants of Vermont are farmers, and they would plant the state to ap pie trees, but an insignificant group of insignificant men say no, we want Vermont for a deer park, and as they are of those who do the bidding of the machine, they have their way. These same farmers at each biennial election go to the polls and vote for men for the senate who have been elected by the special interests to serve as their tools and puppets and to prevent the onastment of laws for the public Wcal.'
 There you are. Things are not go- ing in Vermont according to the will of the people-legislative action ap- pears to show that the blind are lead ing the blind: and too many are rec reant to public trust. Vermont is not alone, and enough vigor of this sort ought to be helpful in making Yer mont what the people want her to be.

AN APPEAL TO sPoRTsMEN.

The Bulletin is in receipt of an ap- peal from the League of American Sportsmen for support of laws to pro hibit the use of automatic and pump guns in the hunting of game. It is pointed out that by means of these weapons immense bags are netted by ruthless hunters, that the wild life is slaughtered. or driven away to seek new and lonelier feeding grounds. that the next generation may never behold a duck or a goose or any of the folk or the woods and water courses.
 The game hog is now regarded as the one ungovernable hog abroad, and it looks as if it might take the com 5ined efforts of sportsmen and farm ITS to make him behave nationally. -An exchange. with show of truth perfectly recognizable. says that near " every state has a full stock of game avs. New ones are made at nearly every legislative convention. Yet, as every one knows, there are no laws violated more, none hold more in con rnpt than regulations as to shooting hunting. trapping and fishing. Not un n wild fowl have disappeared. until ish have all but gone until even the sonEbirds arc become rarities, is there anything like a popular support of game laws.
 What is the worth of another set If prohibitions. this time ruling the ldud of weapons which may be used There are two hopes we entertain for the preservation of the game and of rhe songbirds. One is that in time the game hog will be made acquaint- cd with the fact that he really actual y. is human swine and ought to be restrained to the confines of a pig sty.
 The other hope for relief is that -he farmers will cease to -be tolerant, will themselves enforce laws as se- vereiy against the man who shoots rusii upon their land out of season as thcy would against him who steals their chickens and robs their corn crA~

It may be said of the men that they so thoroughly en- joy freedom of dress, and their enioy ment is so contagious, that it is never possible Co enlist any large section of the masculine persuasion in the lock- step of formal fashion.

In the next, the concluding paper of this series I shall sum up the re- suits of government by connisson as I have observed them in the city of which I am writing. If in the con- cluding paragraphs of this paper I state what everybody knows is true. my excuse is the ease with which We forget the things that are evident
 sound and wise charter is but a means toward good government It's results depend upon the officers chosen to administer it. It rises no higher than their sense of honor; it is no broader than their vision extends: it is no sounder than the wisdom of their Judgments. The finest machine in the world may run awkwardly, may even suffer wreckage, if the driver be inexperienced or careless. The beau ty of action is seen when the finest machine is directed by the most care- full and skilled controller.
 Nor by putting men into office un- der any charter can you fully control them by it's provisions. But We must not confuse criticism of a charter with criticism of it's administration. The financial policy, for instance, followed by a municipal council might be un- wise, and thus bring reproach: it's choice of subordinate officers might be selfish, nepotic or partizan, and thus bring contempt; its observance of tho demands for publicity might be per- functory, avoiding that frank and full disclosure of it's reasons for it's acts that such publicity seeks, and thus bring distrust; the mayor, lacking the power of veto. may yet be Of Sucn strong personality and will as to con- trol the votes if not the judgment of a. majority of the council. The grounds for criticism in regard to these mat ters should exist in the judgment and methods of the council rather than in the provisions or the defects of the charter. One must consider separate ly the charter as a means towards good government, and the officials as good administrators under the char ter.

JUST PRIVATE SECRETARY.

The fact that congress does not take lxindly to the title Assistant to the President for the private secretary at the White House is a show of good sense which commends itself to the people.
 Since congress has made the salary bigger than a congressman's and equal 10 that of a judge of tho supreme court. 1t leaves no doubt that the office is important or that it takes a man nf ability and anabilitv to fii ;t ac- ceptably.
 Tt is intimated that Charley Good win of Hartford. who has served as private secretary to two republican governors of Connecticut. and who was himself a candidate for the office last fall, Is in Washington as pros pective candidate for the place, and he has the personal presence and training to be an assistant to the pres ide-.t, if he title is kept in the old popular form. The Bulletin would be pleased to see MT. Goodwin right hand man to President Taft.
 1t Is some time since Connecticut had such an honor come to one of her itizens. and maybe this is the psyche logical moment for AIr. Goodwin.

There is another essential in good

There is another essential in good eovernn1ent,--a body of voters, as large as possible. interested in discussing every phase of municipal administra- ton, watchful of the acts of their off ciaIs, open of mind, progressive in their views, and as ready to recognize and uphold what they believe helpful as to denounce what they think harm ful. No citizen is thoroughly good citizen, however excellent a man he may be unless he takes this active, earnest and intelligent interest in the administration of his city. No char ter can take the place of 8 sound char acter, intelligence, public spirit and courage. These characteristics should be found in those who administer it. No charter can hold to the line of duty encourage, stimulate and incite. These influences should be felt from the electors, the people. That charter is best that guides the administration of those who administer it, and best preserves all the rights of those for whom it is administered.

PITCHERS CHOICE
IS ALWAYS FINAL
Mack Always Doing Something
Different In the
Game

Connie Mack is always doing some
thing different His pitchers run the
game. The Athletic catchers signal
the pitchers, the same as the catchers
on other clubs, but the pitchers judg-
ment goes when the pitcher and
catcher do not agree on the kind Of
ball TO use. Two or three other man
ayers instruct their catchers to reply
on the judgment Of veteran pitchers,
All of Mack's pitchers have the final
say.
Take the pitchers Judgment was
an early season order from Manager
Mack. and he never changed il" said
Paddy Livingston, Athletic catcher.
Chief Bender and Eddie Plank used
their own judgment season before
last, and did so well that the rule
was made general. Everybody must
use his head is one of Comics rules.
"One advantage Of the pitchers
Judgment counting is in the help he
gets from the infielders. Our infield-
ers were the pitchers advisers. They
watched the batter as closely as the
battery men. That was part Of their
work
Connie does't count a stolen base
on the catcher. It is even between
the pitcher and catcher. No catcher
can get base runner who is allowed
too much Of lead is the way Con-
ME puts IL.
There was never calldown for
the pitcher or catcher when Connie
believed a fast ball should have been
used instead Of a curve, or vice versa
We were expected to know what to
do Advice came before or after the
game. And then Il was up to both
pitcher and catcher.
Mack does a lot Of things differ
ent from other managers have
played for. Every man on the team
has his ear when a suggestion is Of
fered. We were all called upon to -ik
up something at daily dope meetings" 7"
