CURED OF DANDRUFf

S2S West 59th st., New York City.
For more than ten years l have
been troubled with a very obstinate
Ease Of dandruff and an itching scalp.
In my determined effort to rid myself
OF these troubles, I stopped at no ex-
pense and spent, 1 am sure, close on
to three hundred dollars, with no last
ing results. Every advertised patent
remedy for %dandruff, 1 believe l have
tried out. On a visit to my BARRIERS
n day last spring l saw him sham
poo a customer with a prepared liquid
shampoo, but later shampooed his own
hair, using only q cake Of Cuticura
Soap. / took a tip from this.
Il began the use of Cuticura Soap as
a shampoo, using 1t twice a week and
l also began the use Of Cuticura ONT
ment to see what effect it would have
on thickening my hair which had bad
ly fallen out. After the second weeks
S / noticed that the itching had
stopped and the dandruf combed from
my hair was very scarce. Being so
surprised I continued the treatment
and my head, which was almost a
shining dome, Is now covered with a
suit Of thick shining hair, a marvel
wrought by the wonderful Cuticura
Soap and Ointment The dandruff
also is entirely gone. Thanks and
thanks again for Cuticura" (Signed)

can't digest tit turns to poison.
A bright lady teacher found this to
be true, even Of an ordinary light
breakfast of eggs and toast. She
says:
1.-TWO years agoI contracted a very
annoying form Of Indigestion. My stom-
ach was in suAh condition that a sim
pie breakfast of fruit, toast and egg
gave me great distress.
II was slow to believe that trouble
could come from such a simple diet,
but finally had to give 1t up, and found
a great change upon a cup of hot
Postum and Grape-Nuts with cream,
for my morning meal. For more than
a year l have held to this course and
have not suffered except when injudi-
ciously varying my diet.
81 have been a teacher for several
years and find that my easily digest
ed breakfast means a saving Of nery-
u force for the entire day. My gain
Of ten pounds in weight also causes
me to want to testify to the valus OF
Grape-Nuts.

SHE WEARS SNAKE NECKLACE
Girl Wins Wager Consisting Of 80
Pounds of Candy by Prone
nading With Reptiles.

Greeley, Colo.-Two four-foot bull
snakes may be slightly more cumber-
some and hideous to the multitude as
a necklace than chameleons or liz
ards, but Miss Bessie Potter, leader
in the younger society set, won 80
pounds of candy by wearing the unu-
sual neck adornment on the street.
Miss Potter captured the reptiles on
Wild Cat mountain, and in the pres
ence of friends twined her new pets"
about her neck. Her exhibition sug-
gested the wager. Six of the party
willingly offered five pounds of choice
candy to see Miss Potter promenade
Ninth avenue carrying live snakes
about her neck.
"a soft bet" declared the girl, who
without a seconds hesitation. carried
out the provisions.
More than 500 stood aghast, and
their willingness to keep at a safe"
distance saved Miss Potter trouble in
making her way. She returned home
and put the reptiles in a box.

and shower bath in each room. Be-
hind is the jungle, before a fine
stretch of lawn, a beach and the water.
THAT evening we sat on the wide
gallery, in the usual steamer chairs,
and listened to the plaintive native
music from the barrio, where a dance
was in full swing.
Our host has a charming, II lonely
existence. There are fifty native men
in the barrio, whom he oversees at
their work. His household arrange
ments are perfect, but it takes four
boys and a cook to keep them so. It
seems so funny to see a boy in pink
knee pants, no shirt. but a dagger in
his belt. serving chocolate, and excel

The place is beautifully laid out;
the irrigation bitches are crossed by
pretty bamboo bridges, all things

was this %half-breed progeny, and so
likewise the offspring Of the japanese
and native women. In recent times,
however, the Japs have been in the
habit Of sending back to their own
land for wives. In most cases l think
the self-elected bridegrooms get their
parents back in the Flowery Kingdom
to pick out wives for them.
THE matter Is finally arranged
through the Japanese consul, the man
in the cas- putting up money for the
passage Of his intended spouse The
hour that she lands must also be the
wedding hour, for the authorities will
not allow the fair ones to remain I'M
less claimed and formally mated &C
cording to some civil or religious cere-
mony that both parties consider bind
ing.
Every now and then a wireless
message comes to my plantation
which tells one Of my Young japanese
hired men that he may expect on the
arrival Of the next ship at Honolulu
the girl who has been picked out as
his wife. l do not think that in many
cases the principals have ever laid
eyes on each other. On the receipt
of the message the man gets permits
sion to go to claim his wife, and pref
ty soon the pair are domesticated on
the estate, and my understanding is
they get on as happily as If they had
known each other from infancy and
been welded in the conventional way
of the C~aucasians.
Not long ago a ship from Yokoha-
ma arrived with forty or fifty So
called picture brides. Every one Of
them had been chosen through photo
graphs forwarded to Hawaii some time
in advance Of the arrival of the origi-
nails. Occasionally there is a pathetic
case, as when not long ago a very
pretty young Japanese maid was
forced to take the next ship returning
to her old home. Inspection showed
that she had trachoma, and the rigid
rule that ordered her deportation
could not be waived."-Baltimore

Hamilton, Ohio.-New York's four
hundred have had their monkey din

bears the honor of giving a dog a real
live banquet and concert to commem-

The affair was given by Louis F.

his dog, Major" who, seated at the
head of the table, was admired during
the many courses by a host of his
owners friends. The city band gave
a concert of several select numbers.
Major" unconscious of the honor
that was being bestowed upon him,

The Middle-Aqed Woman.

OF the many ways in which the mid
dle-aged woman may vary the effect
OF her afternoon gowns none is sim
pier than the use of a collar and cuffs
Of white wolfe edged with s~calloping
and embroidery in a floral design. An
other change may be the frock set Of
white chiffon with border Of black
malines, and still another is the one of
black net hemstitched with silver
thread. Some of these collars are so
long in front that they terminate only
ct the waist line, where they cross in
surplice effect and are tucked away
under the girdle. An excellent model
of this sort is of light blue lawn en-
broidered with black dots, and a Sec
ond is of white agaric trimmed with
tiny folds Of b~roadcloth, alternating
with eponge.

IN THE PHILIPPINES
New Orleans Girl Spends Several

Writes Of Her Trip on a Coastwlsa

spent several months In the Philip

cock, fish, smell and babies.
ION the upper deck, however, be-
meath an awning, we were comfortable
enough in steamer chairs.
THAT evening we reached a native
town, very odd with its native straw
huts on stills, and its crazy streets
with cats, strings of fish and children.
Also cocks and cockpit-and the
jungle behind it all.
There a basca, a clumsy, canoe
shaped native boat, decidedly top
heavy and uncomfortable, met US. 1t

wearing at their belts knives quite
large enough to make me shudder. We
arrived at the station to see a magnifi-

On the menu were Of course many
familiar dishes, but besides there were
fried bananas sliced crosswise, thin
and crisp, tasting like eggplant, a
cousin to the cucumber, roasted, a
salad made from cocoanut buds with

chicken with curry and a jelly made
from flowers, which tasted like cur
