Cambridge, Mass, May 21.-A dry
goods box with a young woman nailed
up inside of it was received late last
night at Wellesley College, so it be
came known today.
The living freight" was Miss Beat
rice Van Slyke. president of the junior

ing concealed in a box that enabled
her class to march tonight around the

cescsion, carving lighted candles ana
chanting a dirge in Latin.
The class procession could not be
held until the class president had
burned the forensic, and the sophie
mores kept such close watch on Miss
Van Slyke that she had to put up d
plot. With three girl confederates she
planned the box strategy, eluded two
sophmores who we're shadowing her
and boarded a train bound for Boston.
When she got off the train and into
the box is not known, but an hour LAT,

THE FIRST GRAY AAIR
sign OF Age
Easy Way to Preserve Natural
Color of the Hair

A harmless remedy, made from COM
mon garden sage, quickly restores
gray hair to natural color. The care
of the hair, to prevent it from losing
its color and lustre, is just as i'm
portant as to care for teeth to keep
them from dis-coloring. Why spend
money for cosmetics and creams to
improve the complexion, and yet ne
glect your hair, when gray hair is
even more conspicuous and sugges-
tive of age than wrinkles or a poor
complexion? Of the two, it is easier
to preserve the natural color and beau
ty of the hair than it is to have good
complexion.
All that is necessary is the occas-
ional use of Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Hair Remedy, a preparation of COM
mon garden Sage and Sulphur, COM
bined with other valuable remedies for
dry, harsh, faded hair, dandruff, itch
ink scalp and falling hair. After
few applications of this simple, harm
less remedy, your hair will gradually
be restored to its natural color, in
short time the dandruff will be remov
ed, and your hair will no longer come
out out VIII start 10 grow DIS NdCule
intended it should.
Don't neglest your hair, for it goes
further than anything else to make or
mar your good looks. You can buy
this remedy at any drug store for fifty
cents a bottle, and your druggist will
give your money back if you are not
satisfied after using. Purchase
bottle today. You will never regret it
when you realize the difference it will
make in your appearance. Special

A CASE OF OVER EATING.

A young man, age 20, who
wrote me about his case, QUIT
the farm, late in the spring, and
went to work as street car
conductor in a large city. He
was in excellent health, with a
good appetite. A few months
later he began to have dull
headache and an almost con-
slant sour stomach, with heIch-
ina. Everybody knows that an
aIkali will neutralize an acid
and a friend advised him to
take a little common baking
soda In hot water occasionally.
The acid condition of the
stomach was, of course, neutral
lied by the alkali, but the cause
remained rather worse. There
was no cure. Should the aclt
condition In the stomach be cor
rected by an aEkaIl, as carbon
ate of soda, or does nature know
what she Is about in producing
the acid condition. The trouble
In this case was poisoning from
superfluous food. Farmers re-
qulre much more energy giving
food than street car conductors,
but the young man continued
eating az he had on the farm
A large reduction In the amount
Of food was needed, with more
thorough masticatIon and a Wig
orous walk daily.

the lesser ones.

OLD HERMIT IS ILL

sters who saw MIN come to town once

The old farmhouse, built in colonial
days. fell into decay under his neglect.
Dust that has been years in collecting
covers everything. Judging from ap-
pearances. Asa Schooley never moved
the furnishings following his broth
er's death. He apparently slept for
years on the same feathered bed.
When the ticking wore away, he did
not change 1t for one of nearly dozen
mattresses In good condition found
stored in an upper room. Nor did he
change the bed coverings, although
mahogany chests and bureaus we're
found to be packed full Of fine bed
linens. quilts and spreads.
For illumination at night the old
man went back to tallow dips, which
he made for himself In an antique
mold. He is believed by neighbors to
have subsisted almost entirely upon
honey from his big colony Of bees.
fruit and what poultry and the few
vegetables he could raise on his farm.
How he managed to exist through Sc
we're winters they cannot understand.
The bees alone of the creatures on
the farm show signs OF care and the
hives apparently contain several hun
dred pounds Of honey.
Thus the old mans illness was un-
known to neighbors until woman
walking along the road heard sobs and
groans and found Schooley lying in
a field.

mental gifts or shortcomings from
parents or grandparents? The Ques'

With characteristic German thor

of the state primary schools In Ger

gaining information on this point by
comparing the school reports OF par

following results:
When botn parents had good to av-

cent, fell In various degrees below
the average.
When one parent had q good and
the other a poor record. 90 per cent.
of their children furnished good re-
ports and Al per cent. inferior ones.
When both parents were distinctly
below the average, only 3s per cent.
OF their progeny turned out well and
