Among the more moderate of the tarifl
reform morning newspapers the feeling
of triumph is tempered by expressions OF
regret at the disappearance from political
life OF such stanch imperialists as Sill
Wilfrid Laurier and the recognition that
the victory is partly due to the Bourassa
party. These papers declare they are
glad that Robert l.. Borden has a ma

MAY BUY MAGNETIC WELL.
Rockefeller Contemplates Purchase
of Medicinal Spring.

CHARDON. Ohio. September 23.-Hav-

mand. John d. Rockefeller now contem-
plates adding a magnetic well to his col
lection. He must purchase a sixty-five-
acre farm to get the well. and it is be-
lieved he has decided to buy.
The well was drilled twenty-six years
ago. At a depth of $50 feet the drill
dropped into a subterranean abyss. Since
then six drilling rigs have been lost.
The we'll has been flowing steadily ever
since. The water has medicinal and mag :
netic properties, and several times pro-
moters have discussed buying the farm
and converting it into health resort.

Favor Ostrich Feather.

The thing that finds the most favor
with the biological officials in the way Of
feather decorations Is the ostrich feath-
err. They say that the experts in ostrich
feather farming are becoming more and
more humane for their own protection
They even clip the big plumes now in
stead of plucking them. This is be-
cause the plucking is apt to injure the
feather socket and spoil the next growth
of feathers.
This is a point that arises in the eff
fective enforcement of any humane law.
If it can only be shown to the business
man that 1t pays him financially to be
humane. he will be humane without any
further inducement. It is highly probable
that the feather farmers will use local
anesthetics in amputating the ostrich
feathers II the biological survey just in
Inmates to them that they will make
money by 1t.
Ostrich farming in the United States
has grown to be quite an industry IN re-
cent years. There are now about three
thousand ostriches on ranches IN Ari-
IONA and southern California. and some of
the ostrich farmers who have visited the
Department of Agriculture recently tell
the experts there that they are now han
ding pedigreed stock on the feather farms
in South Africa and that some of the
high-class birds are worth as much as
81, 600 each.

BAND CONCERT TODAY,
How Many Men
Keep Youthful

1t is well known that within recent years the
men have become extensive patrons OF beauty
specialists and masseurs. Not only the fastidi-
ous but men generally who have for
personal appearance. This has also led to the
employment by many Of means calculated TO
enhance or preserve physical attractiveness, es-
pecially by those who abhor beauty parlors.
OF these, perhaps. the most widely used is Ordi-
nary mercolixed wax-which explains the mystery
OF the silver-hsired gentleman with the boyish
face The mercolized wax, obta Unable at any drug
store. is applied after shaving, the same as
cold cream only not rubbed In. This gradually
absorbs the dead and half-dead cuticle In
tiny particles. revealing the fresher. healthier
hued skin beneath. To secure best results many
apply the wax at night, washing 1t OF in the
morning. Women not only encourage husbands
In this, but use the treatment themselves.
