ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS

HARLAN M.: I cannot approve of constant hair singeing, nor tell you honestly that you can expect any bene- a great deal said about the singeing forming a ball on the end of the hair which prevents the juices of the hair from escaping. but that sounds very Ronsensica1 when you realize that you can rub off the singed portion, and tho end of the hair is like any other burned thing-just scorched off. really be- safer. if you want to keep your hair in good condition
 ,. A. O.: Gentle massage of the scalp will prove the best for your needs, with the regular use of good hair tonic for several weeks at least The manip- scalp in small circles with the fingers pressed quite firmly, will increase the activity of the oil glands and will also relieve the nervous tension you com. plain of. Do not make the mistake of being too vigorous in your treatment. I would be glad to suggest the best why you should not see a growth of hair on that partly bald crown and within a reasonable time.
 BLUE EYES: There is special top- ic for oily hair which I always recom- mend and as it improves the growth of sive oiliness it is we'll worth using. You can smooth out the wrinkles in your forehead by the use of massage cream and wrinkle plasters. I cannot tell you what to use for your eyebrows and lashes unless you tell me moro about your needs in that particular, and in regard to the freckles. the continued use of good bleach ist he only way you can remove them and keep them away, and also by protecting the skin with the coating of cream and powder to prevent the sun and wind from coax ing the freckIes out on your cheeks and nose. Freckles are among the most per SiStent of our complexion ills, and need continual watchfulness on our part.
 ELvTNA: No application of creams or lotions will cure the dryness of your skin. unless you aid the treatment by getting your system in a more active and healthful state. You need out of door exercise, and plenty of cool water between meals. The massage cream you ask about is one that the skin read fly absorbs, and 1t feeds the tissues and fills up the lines very quickly. You are welcome to the address where you can procure the cream.

New Haven Roads Surplus
 for 1911 Is $11, ,OOO, 900

New Haven Aug. 5It is estimated that surplus of New Haven for 1911 will be in the neighborhood of S11, ,1S0. 900, largest in the company's history according to a Boston financial authority, today. Its guarantee is un- questioned. But on the estimate here given the road will not have earned eight per cent. dividend on it's stock, which has been increased by $44, 4,00O,- : 0O0
 In view of the exceptionally heavy debt of the New Haven, it's increased amount of stock, and the unusually progressive policy of the management some investment houses in the finan- cial district are beginning to ques- ton the advisability of further aug mentation of liabilities. They point out that the debt of the road ap- proa ches $250, 0,O00,0OO, and that out standing capital stock is about $780, OOO. 900. Investors who hold this view of the case maintain that a more con- servative financial policy would not be bad policy, and in further support of their contention point to the fact that the New York, Westchester and Boston bonds were sold at a discount although bearing the New Haven guarantee of four and one-half per cent.

Purdy yesterday afternoon. ksen1a Merla is the complainant and she charges MT. Jennings with being the father of her child which was born June 19. Attorney John c. Cham berlain, who appeared for MT.

MT. Jennings and his wife have since been reconciled and are now living happily at their Greens Farms home. Miss Merla is now with friends in Fairfield. August Brill, court interpreter worked up the case for Miss Merla and translated her testimony in court. She cannot speak English.

Mother Nature has been good to each one of us, and if we would only realize this fact we would save our selves much unhappiness. To each one she has given some degree of beauty which should offset many de- fects and cause us to accept them without making ourselves unhappy.
 We are not always thankful for our blessings. Indeed we frequently lose sight of them entirely because we are so busy grumbling over the things which do not happen to suit our fancy that our vision IS obscured., We fail to make the best of our good points because we spend all our time fretting oser our real or imaginary defects.
 It we are in earnest in our deter mination to make the most of the beauty with which Mother Nature has endowed us, our first effort should be to acquire well-poised mind-a mind which Is not disturbed by the small irritatlons of every day life; mind which is open to the harmonious things and closed to all that would cause inharmony.
 Nothing detracts from the face more than a fretful look. Impatience and worry stamp their marks upon sne countenance and wrinkle p1asters and massage creams are almost power less to eradicate them. Harmony and happiness leave their marks also, and where these marks are found there is seldom need for long-continued use of beautifying treatments.
 There Is need for the work of the beauty specialist in many, many cases Creams and lotions have their uses and we should not slight any of the reasonable means for improving our looks. It is duty we owe ourselves and our families to make the most of our good features and improve in every way possible those which are not up to our standard of beauty. These are plain duties, but back of them all is a duty which should have our first and most serious consider ation. That duty is to get rid of the mental qualities which only serve to obstruct our efforts, toward improve ment.
 How shall we go about making this change in our mental state? It is impossible to give definite rules in such matter. A few suggestions will be helpful, however One of them is, stop worrying over things which you cannot help. Do all you can to improve matters but do not allow yourself to worry. It is the most useless habit you can get into and also one of the most harmful in effect on both mind and body.
 Another suggestion would be, avoid nagging and fretting as you would avoid pesti1ence. These are two of the worst of all mental indulgences as far as their effect on the face is con-

 Thus does Bosanta Koomar Roy ex- plain his presence at the University of Wisconsin as a student in the course of journalism Roy is a high caste young Hindu, splendidIy edu- cated in English as we'll as in his na- tive tongue, and with experience as a teacher in the Anglo Bengal high school of Allahbad. Patriot as well as scholar, and believing that the pen is mightder than the Maxim or the Lee Enfield, he has elected to fight the battles of India in the Fourth Es- tate. --
 There are many who believe that an appeal to arms is our only hope for salvation from Britih misrule, but some of us think that we can do more for our country through education, he says. What chance would we have in war? Our people haven't been aI lowed to serve in the British artillery since the Sepoy rebellion more thar 50 years ago. They served British guns too well then. Our native infantry is armed with old and inferior rifles. The British are afraid to trust the native with knowledge of artillery and modern small arms.
 Mot that the chance for popular education along other lines is much better. India is not Russia, but if you were a native journalist there you wouldn't know the difference by the way the government treated you All the native papers of liberal ten- dencies have been ruthlessly suppress ed They simply confiscate the print ing presses.
 There may be a time when we shall be allowed to print the truth in India. Meanwhile we shall do what we can to secure public schools in spite of British opposition. The British na- turally fear ideas in Hindu heads quite as much as they fear cannon in Hindu lands''

 How are you going to keep the bur- glar out of your house at night? You can't at least unless you want to go to the expense of a burglar alarm. That is really the only safe way. If you can persuade your neighbors to join with you to install a system that will not only protect all your houses, but also notify the police if anyone enters, you can go to sleep fairly cer- tain that no burglar will trouble you. There are several good systems that can be put in at small expense if enough people combine to use them. A burglar, if 1t was worth his whi1e-if, for instance, he knew that you had ten thousand dollars in cash in the house-could devise some way of blocking the alarm but 1t is not worth his while for the ordinary amount of loot to be found in a private house.
 If you have no burglar alarm, what is the next best thing to do? It N always wise to lock all the doors and windows on the ground floor. There isn't window catch devised that pyt.l keep a burglar out. The minus a new one is invented he begins to work to find some noiseless way of opening it. All that locks and window catch es do is to give the burglar more trou- ble to get in. Sometimes in breaking lock he will make noise enough to wake yOu up IL IS really WOnOeIIui though, how quietly an experienced burglar can remove a pane of glass. Even if he only cuts out piece big enough to let his hand through, the rest is easy.
 Remembering that if he wants to get in, he'll get in, it is good ides to make it as hard as possible for him to find your valuables. Putting' your money in a bureau drawer or hiding it under your pillows is of little use. So many people do that that any well-informed burglar will know just where to look for 1t. They are build ing now into some houses small cir cular safes, let into the wall. These are useful but not to be trusted if all the family is absent. It would be only a few minutes work for any safe-breaker to open them. If you have no safe, the best plan is to se- lect some unusual hiding place and then never tell a soul.
 I knew a man who for years hid his money every night in his shoe. One evening On the car coming home he was telling a friend about It. 4 burglar overheard him, followed him home and the next morning there was no money in the shoe.-woTcan's World for July.

Somewhat mysteriously, only one resident of Middletown is known to follow this plan, despite it's obvious advantages. He, however, has pur- sued the even tenor of this way for three years and now, at the age of 73, is a hale and hearty as a healthy boy of 15, with all the ruddy glow of youth. A year ago we read, he took a five hours long distance tramp eating nothing on the way but one half pound of peanut butter and the same quantity of crackers. That is he consumed in two meals food amounting to one-fifth of his entire weekly allowance, which, at this rate would have lasted him less than half the seven days. Evidently, one who is attempting to live on twenty-six cents week has no business doing anything else.
