SuperfIuOus Hair.

Gus, Pasty Compounds Because
They Are Dangerous and

The preparations above feferred 10

pastes. These are easily recognized by
their pale grayish- greenish color. They
are to be spread upon the skin to re-
main until they are dry. These contain
Sulphide Of Barium an insOluble
chemical which cannot be dissolved,
therefore cannot be absorbed by the
skin. The very fact that you are told
20 leave these pasty compounds on the
skin until they dry and cake and then
lift off with a knife is proof positive
that they are not absorbed. II they are
why co they still remain on the skin?
The most they can possibly do is 10 re-
move the surface hair, which in conse-
quence viii reappear stronger and
thicker after each removal.
There is only ore logical and scien-
tific way to remove hair and that is by
means Of Il liquid containing soluble
ingredients which can be absorbed by

The extravagant claims recently
made by INSCRIPTIONS manufacturers OF

That the disappearance of the plague
from Europe is due to improved santa
ton and personal hygiene cannot be
doubted. Fortunately. there is now lit
tie prospect that the western world
will ever again be desolated by any
such deadly visitant as the great
plague. But modern scientific study
ard research concerning plague infec-
tion prove conclusively that all such
disorders are spread by rats. 1t is al,
accepted axiom that where rats go,
plaguet will go. Mice ard ground squir-
lels also may be blamed IN the case
CT rats especially II Is well known that
slips are, and have been from time i'm
IT emorial. infested with these vermin-
The tracks OF al the great medieval
opidemics are known TO have followed
t1e then-existing water routes OF trade
ard travel Modern experience with
u e bubonic plague proves the same
thing
Rats Spread the Plague.
The domestic or ship rat carries the
Infection in its owr carcass and com
Ilunicates the germs to food. horses
ard clothing. Further. the same fleas
which infest the rats will harbor in
human beings. and infect their host by
means of their bite This is now so
clearly understood that in all plague
ridden countries, whore there is any
attempt at scientific sanitation or pre-
sentive measures. whether of quaran-
tine or of destruction, relentless war
against rats ard ground squirrels is
carried on. Where the rodents are
driven ont the scourge disappears as If
By ms gic. 1t is a curious fact that in
the sixteenth century, when Europe
,Sas plague-ridden. dogs and cats were
$50 popularity recognized as carriers
Of infection and dreaded accordingly. !.
Because America was not discover
ed and Settled by Europeans until later,
our western continent escaped the raw
ages of the great medieval pests and
sccurges But with settlement and
commerce. particularly when orr Pa
oifie coast ports began to be thronged
with shipping and sailors from the
Orient-home OF the plague from time
immemorial-the United States could
rot and did not escape Infection from
what became popularity known as rat
rlague"-the dread bubonic plague. Be-
sides the ship rat and the domesticated
variety, mice anu the extremely pro-
li1ic California ground squirrel were
found to be fruitful and dangerous
sources Of contagion.
Surgeon Gen. Walter Wyman of the
United States public health and marine
hospital service says: Ancient writ
ings abound in illusions to pestile&ces
and their connection with epizootics
among rats and mice. In the Book Of
Samuel there is reference to a pestil-
ence having relation to mice. and that
It might be stayed, the Philistines
made offerings of golden images OF the
mice that marred the land. During the
centuries that have interviewed rats
lave migrated to practically every
quarter Of the earth, causing untold
losses on account OF their depredations
They have also, in all probability, been
the primary agents Of transmission in
the visitatlons of plague which have
visited the earth"

the scene shifted to the Baseball Park,

to Armory Hall, where thirty members
OF the Alexandria Light Infantry and
twenty-five members Of Osceola Tribe
OF Red Men had met to prepare fer the
production of sham battle between
Indians and state troops. The crowd
grew rapidly when the band began to
play, and by the time it reached the
armory large concourss Of people bad
gathered. Later the soldiers and Ped
Men, proceeded by the band, left the
armory for the Baseball Park, follow
ed by vast concourse. BY the time
they reached Inc park, rain was falling,
which caused many to scamper to
shelter. On account of the rain and
subsequent threatening conditions, the
crowd within the enclosure was by no
