How to Destroy the
Dandruff Germ
BY a Specialist.

That the dandruff germ is respon-
sible for nearly all the diseases to
which the scalp Is heir, as well as for
badness and premature gray hair,
is a welI-known fact, but when we
realize that 1t is also indirectly re-
sponsible for many of the worst cases
of catarrh and consumption, we ap-
preciate the importance OF any agent
that will destroy It's power. We are,
therefore, particularly pleased to give
herewith the prescription which an
eminent scientist and specialist states
he has found, after repeated tests, to
completely destroy the dandruf germ
in from one to three applications.
This prescription can be made up at
home, or any chemist will put 1t UP
for you: ozs. Bay Rum. ozs.
Lavona de Compose, DIR. Menthol
CRYSTALS. Mix thoroughly, and after
use. Apply night and morning, rub
bling into the scalp with the finger
tips. II you wish II perfumed, add
half to one teaspoonful of To-Kalon
Perfume, which unites perfectly with
the other ingredients. This prepar-
alton is not a dye, but Is unequaIled
for promoting a growth Of new hair.
and for restoring gray hair to its
original color.
CAUTION; Do not apply where hair
is not desired, and be sure to avoid
cohOl.
The Peoples Pharmacy, Seventh
street and Massachusetts, avenue, the
well-known local druggists, have had
SO many calls for this prescription
that they have taken special steps
to have 1t filled promptly for all who

CURE FOR Observation-Disclosures FREE!

Constipation is not an imaginary
ailment You know whether you
have it or not. No one can argue
you into it or out of it. By the same
token, if you take a remedy
and it cures you, you must be con-
vinced that it was the remedy that
did it. Here are some people who
give DIR. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin
the credit of curing their constipa-
tion-a credit that is important
when you consider how many pre-
vious attempts they had made with
other remedies. Syrup Pepsin is
the recognized peer of all laxa-
tives. 1t is not only substitute
for salts and purgatives, but, by its
milder, more scientific action, has
done much to lessen their use. 1t Is
the best remedy you can buy for
yourself and family for any stom-
ach, liver, or bowel trouble. All
druggists sell it and it can be OBJ
tanned of them at fifty cents and one
dollar a large bottle. If you want
to test it first send your address
to DIR. Caldwell and he will furnish
you a free sample bottle for home
trial. Between these testimonials
and the offer of free sample bot
tie ycu ought to begin the use OF
Syrup PepSin without delay.

Court-Martial Halts

PHILADELPHIA. Pa, Jan. 6.-Pro-
ceedings in the court-martial of Major
Henry c. Davis, of the United States
Marine Corps, who is charged. among
other things, with INSTRUMENTATION. were
halted here today after Maj. Gen.
George F. Elliot, of the Marine Corps,
retired, had given his testimony:
A trumpeter on the Island OF Guam
Philippine Islands. where Major Davis
was in command Of marines. hurried his
hugIe calls. Capt. E. ]. Dorm, retired
naval officer, was governor Of Guam.
He suspended Lieut.. r. F; Ludlow
because of the bugler's mistake. Lieu
tenant Ludlow wrote to the Secretary
of the Navy asking that this punish
ment be not held against his record.
Major Davis concurred in his request;
Major General Elliot, as head of the
Marine Corps, seized upon the indorse-
ment. declaring that 1t showed the lax
ity of marine discipline on the island:
Major Davis wrote to the Secretary OF
the Navy, and, it is alleged, impugned
the motives of General Elliot.

TEACHERS SICK PAY
UP FOR DISCUSSION
Prior to Meeting of Board
Stuart and Oyster Hold
Conference.

Preliminary to the meeting of the
Board of Education at $3.50 o'clock
this afternoon, Superintendent A. T.
Stuart and Capt. James F. Oyster.
president of the board, held confer
ence In the formers private office
in the franklin School building this
morning.
Matters pertaining to the enlarge
ment of the school boards powers,
which Congress will be asked to grant
through additional legislation. were
discussed. Superintendent Stuart
showed Captain Oyster the results of
his inquiry into the practices of other
cities. relative to granting teachers
sick leave on part pay. This informa-
tion will be used IN urging Congress
to relieve some of the membranes
which prevent the school board of the
District of Columbia giving the con-
cessions of other cities.
Teachers in Washington" Mr..
Stuart said this morning, have never
been granted three days leave of alb
sence on full pay in case of death In
the family. They have never been
given leave with pay when under
quarantine and under the revised Gus
tom made necessary by the Comptrol-
Ter Of the Treasury's recent opinion
they are not given any part Of their
pay when off on account Of sickness
Such condition exists in no other
city in this country. The Board of
Education wants to be empowered to
employ substitute teachers on such a
salary arrangement as IT sees fit. That
carries with 1T the power to pay the
teacher relieved by the substitute a
part of her salary"

The games and sports Of childhood
are ordinarily a safeguard against
worry. Especially when carried on out
of doors, they are productive of much
good.
No child under twelve years Of ago
should have less than ten hours sleep
out of the twenty-four; and those who
are over twelve, need nine to nine-and-a-
half hours of sleep. The quality OF
sleep is as important as the quantity.
and is a good index to the general
health of the child. A healthy child
sleeps quietly throughout the night.
Dreams, restlessness, and "night-
mare" Indicate something wrong

Probably the diseases of childhood

measles. chickenpox. whooping-cough,

Every child who has one of these
diseases gets 1t from some other per-
son who has had the disease before him.
