SCALP WAS BADLY AFFECTED

Il am more than gratifled by the
use OF the Cuticura Remedies. For
several years my scalp was very bad
ly affected with dandruff and scales.
My scalp itched terribly at times and
my hair fell out. My coat collar would
be actually white with the dandruff
that had fallen from my head My
profession being that of a barber,
was particular about having my hair
in good condition, and was also in a
position to try many lotions, etc, for
the scalp. These had little or no eff
feet. / had heard so much about the
Cuticura Remedies that l resolved to
try them. shampooed my head
with Cuticura Soap twice a week and
after drying my head thoroughly, l
anointed parts of my scalp with Cuti-
cura Ointment. l was pleased from
the outset, and continued to keep up
this treatment. To think that only
three cakes of Cuticura Soap and one
and one-half boxes of Cuticura ONT
ment rid my head of this annoying
trouble made me feel quite contented
| have now got thick growth of hair
and / am never troubled with any
dandruff or itching of the scalp. There
is no question but that the Cuticura

REALITY THAT COUNTS
SHORTER DAY WGRKo WELL
Has Naturally Been coincident With
the Adoption of Labor-Saving
Machinery.

The shorter workday has been
adopted by practically every litho-
graphic establishment in the country,
and the photographers, with the help
of the new Cost Systems" which are
being pretty generally adopted in the
trade. are busily engaged in trying to
figure out just how much more their
work must cost their customers in or
der that the expense of the adoption
OF the eight-hour day will not fall d.
rectly upon the photographer himself.
That it will cost more to do work
on the eight-hour-a-day basis than it
did when the men worked nine hours
is but reasonable to suppose. Just
how much more the cost will be is A
question that will require some study,
because man is not 4 machine and
viii not be capable of doing as much
work in the ninth hour as he does in
the eighth, for it stands to reason
that certain amount of fatigue will
have to be contended with.
So far, throughout the civilized
world, the adoption of shorter work
ing days for men has been coincident
with the adoption of labor-saving ma
chinery. In the type printing indus

PhilosophicaI Irishman.

An Irishman came into a barber
shop, and the unsteady gait with which
he approached the chair showed that
he had been imbibing of the produce
of the still. He wanted his hair cut,
and while the barber was getting hin
ready went off into a sleep. His head
kept bobbing from one side to the
other, and at length the barb,r in
making a snip cut off the lower part
of his ear. The barber jumped about
and howled and a crowd of neighbors
rushed In. Finally the denonstra-
ton became so great that 1t began to
attract the attention of the man In
the chair, and he opened one eye and
said, "Wh-wh-at's the matter wild

Power In Quietude,

There is a potent charm in being
serious. And nowhere is seriousness
so charming as in a business office.
Seriousness need not necessarily be
dullness or priggishness. A girl can
quietly and seriously attend to her
work, set be pleasant She can be
Jolly but with just that reserve that
really is a lure to know her better. A
girl needn't talk flippantly to talk en-
tertainingly. One can talk about seri-
Gus matters, or talk seriously about
everyday affairs, yet do it so enter.

to hold her hearers. And one goes
a far keener sense of pleasure than
from the talk that has been all clever
repartee and nothing else
There is a happy mean between the
noisy, flippant girl. and the quiet one
who never has anything to say. The
girl who strikes this mean, who knows
how to be charmingly serious, will
have tho real liking of every one in
the office, from her employer to the of.
fee boy. And she has a far more
valuable manner. from the purely
business point of view, than has the
girl who is always trying to be smart
There is no need for the quiet girl
to envy the girl who is always saying
something clever. The quiet girl has
a greater charm within her power. 1;

MAKE 1T HOME HOUR
sTENoGRAPHERs DO WORK THEY
LIKE ON TRAIN.
Chicago Workers Seem to Have
Solved Problem How to Employ
Time on Long Journeys.

It would not be considered thrilling
by most girls, but the time that they
spend on the train is considered the
most delightful part of the day by the
stenographers that come in from Au-
rora to offices in Chicago. They catch
train that gets to Chicago before s
o'clock in the morning This, in a town
the size of Aurora, means getting up
pretty early. During the short winter
menths it is still dark when some of
them start from home. Even in the
evening there is no time to do the
honey" things that girls delight in.
But these stenographers have turned
the trips on the train into a home
hour. Some embroider, some crochet,
but they all have bit of work. With
twenty or thirty of them the car
which they use present strange ap-

How to get time for pleasure and

not take a position outside of the loop
because the only chance she has to
meet her friends is during the noon
hour. Many of them are employed
like herself, and they go to lunch to-

salary to be near State street for the
noon shopping Others apply for a
position in building where there
are spacious rest rooms and mirrors.
1--WE need such a place to dress in if
we want to stay downtown together or
go to the theater," explained one girl.
