Dr. Carl L. Aisbcrg. newly nominated

This was the advice given him las
night by Secretary Of Agriculture James
Wilson. in discussing the appointment
and the problems Of the department II
general way, and DR.. Alsberg agrees
heartily with the Secretary.
One phase Of the chemistry depart
meyt situation which DR.. Aisberg has
nHehuy COubIueTeu uecPS 10 thO ~"
ter Of employment Of the best scient-
lists available. He feels that there has
been some reluctance in the past OH the
part Of noted men to enter the Govern.
ment service because often the credit
for good work goes to the head Of a
bureau rather than to the Individual.
Hence the doctor hopes to have credit
placed where credit In due 80 that the
Bureau OF Chemistry may obtain In
time Of need college professors or other
renowned scientists.
Secretary Wilson outlined no definite
plans with DR.. Alsberg last night. nor
has the doctor formulated a definite
working system yet. He knows the
men Of the Chemistry Bureau socially
but not ofiicially. Hence he plans to.
get acquainted first with the men. then
with the pure food laws. When Con-
greos makes appropriations for specific
purposes In the bureau. he will be
able to plan his work.

Remedy forAII HairTroubIes.

Who does not know the value of Sage
and Sulphur for keeping the hair dark,

AS a matter of fact, Sulphur is
natural element of hair, and deficiency
of it in the hair is held by many scalp
specialists to be connected with loss Of

CUES tionably, there is no better remedy
for hair and scalp troubles, especially
premature grayness, than Sage and

Sulphur Hair Remedy, in which Sage and
Sulphur are combined with other valu.

WILSON DEGREES
CABINET GOSSIP

Princeton, N. j., Nov. 5.-President-
elect Woodrow Wilson was manirestly
concerned today about certain specula-
tions emanating from Princeton with
respect to the probable makeup of his
cabinet
To put an end, if possible, to all
gossip about cabinet appointments he
issued the following statement:
Such speculations are perfectly
fruitless. l mean to keep my mind
entirely open 9th regard to appoint
ments of the first consequence until
a final announcement is possible.
1T will be perfectly useless to re-
sort to me for corroboration of any re-
port because l shall have absolutely
nothing to announce.
mo announcement will have the
least authority that is not made over
my own signature. These are matters
which must be determined by deliber-
ate counsel and not by gossip"
There is every reason to believe Mr..
Wilson has not discussed the framing
Of a cabinet with anybody and will
not make any final decision until after
be maps out his own course of action
with regard to his administration.
From his announced intention of be.

ing "the best listener in the United
States" for a few months, it is prob
able that, until he has talked with
party leaders and taken counsel with
people all over the country, he will not
let his mind deal specifically with ap-
pointments.
The president-elect said that he con-
sidered the time between his election
and his inauguration period in which
he should listen carefully to the ideals
OF men enlightened and informed on
national questions and that it is "a
public duty" for him to do so.
When confronted with reports about
his proposed vacation, he said any def
mite announcement that he is going to
the Bermudas is unauthorized.
Governor Wilson had a busy time
with his correspondence and kilograms
today. Callers came in a steady pro-
cession in spite of the rain and muddy
reads.
The postman that has the Wilson
home on his route has had to get help.
Today on one trip he carried 1000 let
ters. This is the daily average. Most
of the letters are congratulations. To
morrow Wilson will see the football
game between Princeton and New
York.

It was said that in such a case there probably would be a deadlock in the house. According to the constitution, in balloting for the president and vice. president the representatives must vote by state, one ballot for each rep- resentative, each states electoral vote to be cast as a whole.
 It was the general assumption of those who "doped out" the situation that where states were divided the unit rules" would apply and the ma- jority's candidate would receive the states vote. There are now AS states so divided that 20 states constitute majority. At present the Democratic and Republican strength in the house. by states, is exactly divided-22 each with four other states evenly di- vided themselves in political strength. The evenly divided states could cast no vote, in which case a deadlock be. tween the Democrats and Republicans would be indicated The situation is further complicated by the fact that there are several representatives who probably would vote for Roosevelt.
 If the house fails to elect a presi- dent, it devolves upon the senate to choose a vice-president, who automat- ically would become chief executive. In the senate is the same tangle over Wilson Taft and Roosevelt

Washington, Oct, 29.-With Demo cratic, Republican and Progressive campaigners forecasting victory at the November election. there was a revival here of speculation as to the possibility that congress might be re quired to name the next president.
 Such a contingency could only come about if none of the present candi dates got majority in the electoral college-or 266 electoral votes. If Wilson, Taft and Roosevelt divided in such a fashion that none received 266 votes, then the election automatically would be thrown into the house of representatives.

Rebels Harass Government.

City of Mexico, Oct 29 That the quick suppression of the Diaz revolt has shown great strength on the part of the government is conceded in the capital, but that the situation has been greatly improved is a matter of doubt
 A number of rebel bands who were operating in many parts of the repub- lie are still afield and apparently as active as before Aded to the list is a well-defined new uprising in Yuca tan. Gen. Aguiar continues his cam paign in the region around Tehucan. where, since the affair at Vera Cruz, his followers have tentercd a number of towns and appropriated horses and supplies.
 Gen. Diaz Ordaz, cousin and chief lieutenant of Gen. Felix Diaz, has not been captured. Many believe he will continue the work tegun ty Diaz. No fear is felt of an advance on the capi- tai by the rebels, because it Is we'll known that they have not sufficient ammunition to conduct systematic warfare.
 The persistency of these rebels, however, makes practically certain the continuance of guerilla fighting in- definitely.
 With the ending of the Diaz cam- paign the government is sending the troops back to the disturbed section, especially about Torreon, and in the State of Mexico. where the rebels lately have occupied and burned the stations of the railway between Toluca and Mexico City.
