HOW THEY CARE FOR GUESTS
conVenienceS Of New York Hotels
Show Great Consideration Given
to Comfort Of Ladies'.

New York hotels may charge high
prices for their restaurant and dining
room service, but they are more than
generous in some Of the conveniences
they furnish their women guests.
Dressing rooms are equipped with the
finest Of soaps, the most delicate OF
toilet powders, ice water, abundance
Of hand towels Of choice linen, hair
pins, pins and cold cream, all for the
free use Of the fair. There are hand
mirrors and whisk brooms galore and
even hair brushes and combs, If one
cares to use them. That nobody ever
does Is apparent from their impec-
cable newness. There is always q neat
maid in attendance, who will furnish
needles and thread for q consideration
and even help you with your hair or
mend your glove II 1t has played you
false In an hour Of need.
In one Of the most fashionable or
these benevolent hostelries neat de-
vice is we'll worthy Of imitation. It 10
q small celluloid box or Jar with hole
In the cover. The box is filled with
fine, white absorbent cotton, which Is
accessible through the opening. This
Is to be used in applying powder to
the face instead of the customary
powder puff. The guest picks out her
little piece ofncotton, powders her be-
niRn countenance and then discards
the scrap when she is through with It.
The idea is eminently sanitary and
shows what careful consideration this
hotel gives to every item affecting the
welfare Of its guests. Above the dress
ing table is a card bearing the signif-
cant inscription, "The conveniences OF
this room are for the use Of paying
guests only"

Patriotism.

The priest Of the servian Orthodox
church at Wilmerding, Pa, made q
Memorial day address In the town
cemetery last spring. At the close OF
bis speech in servian he said in Eng
fish:
81 deem It my hollest duty to kiss
this consecrated ground upon which
your heroic ancestors shed their blood,
and in which their bones are laid to
rest. I deem It my Christian duty to
offer God a prayer for the repose OF
their souls, Just a. II they were my
own blood"
Then he kneeled, kissed the ground
and offered a prayer for the repose
of those who died for their father
land. When he arose he said: GLORY
10 the dead soldiers, and prosperity
to the American people"
The incident was related BY Petef
Roberts, director Of the immigration
work for the Y. N. G. A. to q group
Of Kansas City men at the association
rooms yesterday. It emphasizes once
more the fact that Americanism 10

Early AntI.rrust Law.

An old statute has been unearthed
by the Cincinnati Enquirer and ap-
piled to present conditions. II the law
today were what It used to be In the
early days Of Kentucky and were car
ried out we might see Wall street
dotted with men who had lost their
ears for conspiring to restrain trade.
A statute Of some 1853 years ago,
which was intended to put Q stop to
the meat trust, the brewers trust, the
bread trust and the fruit trust OF
those days, makes the Sherman act
look gentle. This statute became law
in Virginia and therefore In Kentucky
when Kentucky was formed out Of Vir'
ginia. II Is fair to point out that the
statute Of Edward vi. also went after
any laborers who got together to keep
up wages or limit the hours Of work.
SO that It was markedly in opposition
to the beliefs Of our own day. More
over, we violate no confidence In say
ing that II was enforced moro violent
ly against the lab0rers than against
the dealers who kept up prices. Ken
lucky, It may b well 70 add, has
since repealed the act.-cOllier's.

n.nu,.h Of 81. Petersburg,

That st. Petersburg is rapidly grow
ing in population is evidenced by the
census taken in December, 1910, which
showed the population, including GER
tain suburban villages formerly not
covered, to be 1,sO7,7OS. 1t is pre-
eminently an "ofice town" and also a
seaport for six or eight months OF the
year.
The principal industry is the manu-
facture Of cotton textiles, although It's
advantage as a port Of entry for the
interior is gaining recognition. A line
Of steamers has been established to
'LIbau, connecting there with trans
Atlantic line to New York. This en-
ables American shippers to send
goods direct to this port without the
delays Of transshipment in foreign
ports.

WILL BoLSTERED HIS CREDIT
Not Until Wooden Jobber Failed Did
lIIS Creditors Get Wise 70
He Trick.

Credit men in the wooden trade are
d.. cussing an interesting bankruptcy
case that was recently compounded
out of court at q settlement Of about
rs cents on the dollar; and some OF
the credit men, autoblographically
reminiscent, are bewailing the fact
that, to avoid the slang Of other
tr les, "a victim is born every min
ut?." These are the credit men who
CT lifted.
It seems that q well-known jobber
In woolens became Ill some months
ago and grew worse and worse until,
finally, the men in the trade heard
that he was dying. About that time
the jobber sent for a lawyer who
even outside of his own heraldingB-
Is credited with doing about half Of
the litigation Of that most litigious OF
trades. The jobber, groaning heavily,
made his will. He disposed Of about
100000 in 1t. Some went to charity
some went to old business friends,
and little went to the jobber's own
family.
Soon afterward q turn for the bet
ter set in in the jobber's condition.
Presently he was walking briskly
about his business again, buying now
from this mill, now from that-but
always buying. He bought so much
that several credit men became FESTIVE
under his orders and began to consid-
er the wisdom Of holding back ship
ments on terms more akin to cash.
One Of them, however, happened to
mention his suspicious to the lawyer
who had drawn Up the jobber's will.
'Have no fear" the lawyer reas-
sured him, adding, by way Of conf
dence, II myself had an altogether
erroneous notion Of his finances until
several weeks ago when he was Ill.
At that time / drew up his will for
him, and was amazed at the extent OF
his fortune" And he divulged more
condolences.
Good news travels just as fast az
bad news in the wooden trade, and
presently every credit man in the
business knew Of the jobber's will and
his 100000. And the jobber contin.
ued to buy and buy, and buy still
more, on ever easier terms. Then
when he had bought enough, he failed
and that, too, in almost as respectable
a figure as the fortune in his late 70
puted will.

The modern writer's who have sug.

brother George 10 not interested in our

ties Of the commonwealth. It 10 pre-
cisely because our uncle Henry does

Bald Heads Not
Wanted.
Badness is too Generally COnsid-
cred a Sign Of Advanced Age.

A bald-headed person does not
have an equal chance with one
blessed with a healthy head OF
hair, because badness is too gen.
orally accepted as an indication
Of age. Many large corporations
have established an age limit,
and refuse to take men over IS
years of age as new employees.
Probably -65 per cent of bald
headed people may regain a good
head of healthy hair if they fol-
low our advice and accept our Of
fer. We have a remedy that we
positively guarantee to grow hair
on any head, unless the roots OF
the hair are entirely dead, their
follicles closed, and the scalp has
become glazed and shiny. We
want people to try this remedy
at our risk, with the distinct I'M
derstanding that unless it does
exactly what we claim it will
we shall make no charge for the
remedv used during the trial.
We know exactly what we are
talking about, and with this Offer
back of our statements no one
should scott, doubt our word, OF
hesitate to put our remedy to an
actual test.
We want everyone in Baxter
Springs who is suffering from
any scalp or hair trouble, dan
druff, falling hair, or badness tc
try our Rexall "93" Hair Tonic
We want them to use it regular
ly-say until three bottles have
been used-and if it does moi
eradicate dandruff, cleanse and
refresh the scalp, tighten the
hair in its roots, and grow new
hair, we will return every cent
paid us for the remedy for the
mere asking. There is no for
mality expected, and we exact ne
obligation from the user what
ever.
We are established right here
in Baxter Springs, and make this
offer with a full understandin
that our business success entirely
depends upon the sort of treat
ment we accord our customers
and we would not dare make TIT
above offer unless we we're posi-
lively certain that we could sub
stantiate it in every particular

To Inspect Hotels,

Orders to county and city
health officers to inspect the no
tells and barber shops throughout
the state were issued by the state
board of health last week. The
inspections are to be made BY
March 1, when the new certlil-
Gates will be issued. The hotels
are required to have certain sanl'
tary arrangements and rope lad
ders in each room for the escape
of guests in case of fire. The
county health officers are to see
that the hotels and barber shops
are in a sanitary condition and
that the fire escape provisions
are complied with. If the health
officers find that the hotels are
dirty the places will be closed
until the necessary improvements
are made.

Late Information Shows that Colonel
Roosevelt Is Steadily In

Late dispatches this morning from
Massachusetts show that Col. R0ose-

Taft. Final figures are not obtainable,
but the lead OF Roosevelt is constantly
Increasing.
Boston, April 30.-The indications
point to Roosevelt having more than
20 of the 36 delegates in Massachu-
setts.
At II p. m. the returns from 204 out
of the 1880 election districts of the
State, including 9 wards in Boston,
6 other cities, and 81 towns out of SO
cities and 800 towns, showed these re-
suits:
La Toilette, 2O4; Roosevelt, 1926;
Taft, 10,3S3; Clark, 6,555; Wilson,
3.032.
From every part of the State came
the report that about four Republican
votes had been cast for every Demo-
cratic vote, and the big lead achieved
by Speaker Clark over Gov. Wilson
was almost entirely lost sight of in
the interest over the manifestly neck
and neck fight between President and
