WERE SLOW TO ACT.

The state board of control did not
make an investigation of the escape
of Mccarthy and julie from the penl.
Tertiary at Saltwater, and it is not
quite essential that any investiga.
ton be made of the escape of Muir.
derer Ostby from the criminal ward
of the state insane asylum at st.
Peter. However the board. of con.
troll should inquire of the hospital
authorities why they permitted the
escape of the criminal to remain a
secret for several days and thus
make his capture all the more diff
cult. Inmates have escaped from
prisons and bastiles before now and
they will continue TO do so. Steel
bars and locks seem TO offer but lit.
tie resistance to their desperate eff.
forts to gain freedom.
The officials at the ST. Peter in

duty when they failed TO Immediate

surrounding towns that a murderer
was at large and they needed the
assistance of quickly organized pos
ses 10 effect his capture. The whole
countryside should have been aroused
and a sharp watch kept by every
one for the fugitive. Ostby made
his sensational escape on Tuesday
night. Saturday morning the police
and sheriff in Mankato were official
ly notified of that fact They should
have been informed at once of the
fellows break for freedom.
In these days of long distance
telephoning it certainly could have
been very easy matter for the
hospital management to have mott.
fed the police in nearby towns; also
sheriffs and the farmers within a ra-
dius of many miles. Why this course
vas not pursued is a mystery. MAY.
be the officials at the hospital did
not think of sounding an alarm. !
Maybe they thought few attend.
ants by securing the timber near the
hospital would be able to locate their
man. However, several days after
the murderer escaped from custody
the hospital management issued pos
tai cards containing his description
and by this means they hope to have
him apprehended well, better late
than never"

the hair at the mercy of atmospheric
conditions, of cold, heat and dust. The
sebum, like all oily substances, tends
to coagulate when the temperature is
low, while the long hair of women
affords a protection that is ample
against this condition, the short hair
of men positively invites destruction
of the hair roots.
A meat diet increases the proper
ton of acids in the blood, and conse-
quently also increases the acids in
the waste thrown off by the body in
the form of perspiration. This acid
perspiration is particularly harmful
to the hair, as it stimulates unduly
the flow of sebum and as the hair
cannot absorb this amount of fluid
placed at it's command, the fluid
thickens around the roots of the hair
and clogs them up. AS obese persons
perspire more freely than thin indi-
viduals the explanation is at hand
for the badness which invariably
adds to the misery and responsiveness
of the fat man.

HOME TAILORING Is MADE EASY

Many women do not feel that they
can afford to buy a winter tailor
made suit, and yet they are afraid to
undertake the task themselves for
fear that the costume when finished
will look homemade.
Some years ago this was a very good
excuse for wearing a shabby coat in
stead of trying to make ones walking
suit at home. But now, with the
ready-made coat foundations, which
can be bought in all the large depart
ment stores for IS cents and 81, all
that was once hard in fashionable
tailored suits has disappeared into
the background, says the Pittsburgh
Post.
These coat foundations will be
found wonderful help to the home
dressmaker, as they can be used by
the woman who has only slight
knowledge of sewing as well as by her
who understands perfectly the art of
dressmaking. In fact, they are es-
pecially intended for the ineXperienc-
ed needlewoman. The best of these
coat foundations is a combination OF
a superior quality tailor's imported
linen canvas, French haircloth and
white felt, cut and made into a COM
plete foundation, including bias cut
collar and a semi-attached adjustable
shoulder pad. The form fits into the
hollow under the arm, the part OF
coat making which has always wor-
ried the home sewer so much, stiffens
and pads the front of the coat and
gives that tailored appearance with
out which a suit really does look de-
cidedly homemade.
These foundations come from 80 tc
40 bust measure, and if any altera'
tions are needed they can be made
with but little trouble. Any woman
then, who is thinking of making suit
or coat or "A long topcoat, should
buy one of these foundations as they
are well worth the price paid.

BEAUTIFUL HAIR
At SMALL COST
A Simple Remedy Beauties
the Hair, Cures Dandruff,
Stops Falling Hair.

What a pity it is to see so many
people with thin, wispy hair, faded or
streaked with gray, and realize that
most of these people might have soft,
GLOSSY, abundant hair Of beautiful color
land lustre if they would but use the
proper treatment. There is no neces-
Isity for gray hair under sixty-five years
of age, and there is no excuse for any
,one, young or old, having thin, stragg-
ling hair, either full of dandruff or
heavy and rank smelling with ex-
cessive oil.
You can bring back the natural color
of your hair in few days and forever
rid yourself of any dandruff and loose
hairs, and make your hair grow strong
and beautiful by using Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur Hair Remedy. For gener-
ations common garden Sage has been
used for restoring and preserving the
color Of the hair; and Sulphur is recog-
nized by Scalp Specialists as being
excellent for treatment of hair and
scalp troubles.
nIf' you are troubled with dandruff
or itching scalp, or if your hair is
losing its color or coming out, get a
fifty cent bottle Of Wyctl's Sage and
Sulphur from your druggist, and notice
the Improvement in the appearance of
your hair after few days treatment.
