Failing hair, which leads to badness
may be caused by pressure from stiff
hat bands. heavy hats, lack of ven-
tilation of the hair. mental worry, too
frequent washing (Which often ac-
counts for early badness in men) and
from improper care of the scalp
Dandruft also, Is a very active cause
OF loss of nair. The treatment should
begin by a thorough cleansing of the
scalp. then a massage should follow
and the application of some good hair
tonic. The following mixture is high
ly endorsed and has the advantage of
being antiseptic: Salicylic acid, dr.,
tincture of benzoin. 60 drops; meats.
foot oil. o. This Is to be rubbed
into the scalp with the finger tips or
with a soft bristled brush. The treat
ment should be continued regularly
for eight weeks: that is weekly mas

that the provision the committee struck
out is vitality important. and that TO

that he has no remembrance of the
deed with which he Is charged, and
says he had no reason for wanting to
murder the girl.
The trouble which resulted in the death
of the girl occurred in house at 1922 d

panied the field artillery from the Vir-
ginia post to Texas during the maneu-
vers, returned to Washington only a
few days ago
Sabens visited the D street house
yesterday afternoon. He went into the
room occupied by the girl, where heated
words were passed.
The woman, II Is said, told Sabens
that she was going to New York. Sa-
bens then, 1t IL said, fired five shots
and then stumbled from the house into
the street, and thence to Pennsylvania
avenue and Thirteenth street. A negro
maid in the house followed him. and
called Bicycle Policeman Walsh, of the
First precinct, who placed him under
arrest.
