from many different countries 1t de-
Ponds generally on the color. Dark
hair, as rule, comes from Brittany,
where girls are willing to sell their
locks for money for their dot. F1axen

The really beautiful black hair that
has indigo tints is from Italy and
Spain. Much black, however, comes
from Japan and China. Golden hair
is the rarest and costlest of all.

argued that new toothbrush every
day will prevent damage being done

AS AID TO MINERS.
Dr.. Holmes Highly Commends Meth
DDS of instruction by Bureau.

The only remedy for the death rate in
this country from mine disasters is the
method advocated by the bureau OF
mines Of having cars of instruction to
acauaint the employees with the dangers
and to instruct them in resuscitation
work after accidents. declared DR.. ~Jo-
seph A. Holmes. chief Of the bureau OF
mines, in lecture before the Mems
Club of the Church OF the Covenant last
evening. He said the great death rate
among the miners in this country is due
in a great measure to the fact that
majority are inexperienced and most OF
the immigrant class are hard to keep
under discipline.
Speaking particularly Of the cars which
the bureau Of mines is sending to all min
ing sections, DR.. Holmes said the experts
with them instruct twenty-five or more
miners in the practical methods OF min
Ing, and these in turn instruct their fel-
low-workmen. He cited one case where
twenty workmen were trapped and forty
others were killed In trying to rescue
them. If they had been trained they
would not have died, DR.. Holmes de-
clared.
