One Way to Get Auburn Hair.

1t has been found that the way to OBJ
tain auburn hair is to get job in a
soda ash mandatory. A new soda ash
plant started abroad employs many men
in the processes of changing the salt as
it comes from the huge veins which un-
derlie the locality. When these men
went to work they wore hair that ranged
from the light blond of the natives of
northern Europe to the dark and shiny
locks that grow upon the heads of other
races.
Gradually it was noted that the hair
o. the blond men, was assuming a gold
en- tinge and as time wore on the gold
en- hue deepened until now the hair
ranges through all the shades of red
from golden auburn to a fiery red.
The change from the brown hair of
some of the men to the reddish tinge APP
peared to be slower. while the black hair
resisted longest. but now virtually every
man who has worked in the plant more
than a wear can truly say that his hair
is red Noustaches and hearls have been
the same way.-Chicago Tribune.

ENDLESS
TROUBLE
Follows an Attack Of the Grip
Unless the Blood Is Built Up
and Purified.

Few diseases so shatter the health as
the grip. Its victims all tell the same
story. They are left respondent, tired,
faint and wretched in every way. They
have no appetite, ambition or strength,
cannot sleep, and suffer from headaches,
backaches and nervousness. In this
weakened condition lies the real danger
of the grip. The body falls an easy
prey to bronchitis, pneumonia and even
consumption. Nearly every form of

grip is SO complete that many OF its
victims date their years ofsickness from
a single attack.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale

thorough relief from the after-effects OF
the grip. They build up and purify
the blood, drive the poisons out of the
system and give strength and tone to
the entire body. They make the body
able to resist the dangerous diseases
which follow an attack.
Mr.. M. ID. Rowland, of No. 1913 Ale

the results that the four thousand have

MILLIONAIRE SLEUTH
SOLVES ELLIS MYSTERY
John A. Roebiin, Student of Lombroso,
Helps Police Seek Assailant--
A Prominent Man Is
Suspected.

New York, Jan. l6.--The authorities
of Somerset county and private detec-
tives who have been working on the
case believe they can put their hands on
the man who shot and seriously wound.
ed Monroe +. Ellis OF Basking Ridge
n j., as he was dining with his family
the night of November 90,
Practically the entire village of Ber.
nardsville, a mile from Basking Ridge,
expects that one of its most prominent
and influential citizens will be taken
into custody
If ON arrest is made and conviction
follows, the entire credit will be due to
the efforts of John A. Roebling the
multi-millionaire contractor, who has a
handsome estate three miles from Ber-
nardsville.
Mr.. Roebling has taken up criminal
investigation as an amateur and has
aided the county authorities more than
once. He is student of Lombroso,
works scientifically and is willing to fol-
low clew at great personal neon
venience if occasion demands.
Mr.. Roeblng by elimination brought
the case down to one man who. no
found. had a faint of insanity in his
family and owed Mr.. Ellis a consider
able sum OF money which came due on
Nov. 81, the day after the shooting.

Dust and busting.

People are slow indeed TO recognize
how formidable an enemy they have in
dust, especially dust in the home which
is the one place where il could and
should be treated with some recognition
OF its dangerous power Outdoors one
must encounter it all the time, willy
experiment that at its worst the air out
doors has fewer harmful germs in IL
than the air where people are closely
congregated.
At the very worst that the biggest and
dirtiest cities can do, there is such a
splendid vastness about the great open
spaces of outdoors" that it may BE-
trusted to dilute danger to the safety
point But in most public places of meet
ing and in almost all dwelling houses,
it is different story, and this largely
because people will not put their mind.
to the subject.
Old fashioned cleaning meant do the
very worst you can to stir mp all the
dust YOU can find, and knock it about
the place 1t will settle again shortly,
it is true, and some of it inevitably in
your nose and throat. but never nina.
and when she swept, You could not see
yourself for dust. and she lived to be
ninety! Perhaps if she had used vac
uum-cleaner she might be alive yet.
But we cannot all have vacuum cleaners
even to-day, although it looks as if that
good time may be coming.
In the meantime, it should be easy for
all to learn and remember that dust has
one great foe that it will never be able
to resist. and that is moisture. As salt
is supposed to be on the tail of a bird,
so is moisture on the dust-cloth to dust.
This moisture may take the form best
suited to the material to be cleaned-it
may be water sometimes and oil some
times, and very little of either. Where
floors are covered with stationary car
pets, damp sawdust or tea-leaves or
pieces of wet newspaper should be
thrown down TO catch the dust as it is
swept up.
Everything that can be carried out
into the air to be swept or shaken or
beaten should be so carried. Many per-
sons seem to labor under delusion that /
simply hanging things up outside and I
leaving them motionless is sufficient
They call it summing them, and this (

BOSTON OPERA COMPANY
WILL BE DISBANDED
Management Unable to Force Success
After Three Years, Despite an
Advance from So to SIS
Scale.

Boston, Jan. l6.-It is an open secret
that the Boston opera house, now in its
third year. will be closed at the end OF
the current season, and the Boston opera
company, which is affiliated with the
companies of New York and Chicago for
the interchange of singers, will be dis
banded, 1t is almost equally certain,
however. that after year has elapsed
the house will be reopened under a dir
ferent regime.
The Boston opera house was opened
in November, 1909, under the manage
ment of Henry Russell, with rather
modest company, recruited largely from
the San Carlo opera company, with
which Mr. Russell had been touring the
country. A three-dollar scale of prices
prevailed. The season was twenty weeks
in length The opening bill was la
Gioconda," sung by cast that Nine
Nordica headed. Alice Nielsen and Con.
stantino were conspicuous members OF
the company.
Three-dollar opera did not interest
the Boston public, so the next year the
company was strengthened, prices were
advanced to fve-dollar scale, and the
season shortened by two weeks. In spite
of utilization with the New York com
pany and special appearances for singers
like Melba, Mary Garden, and Clement,
the public remained cool. This season
further attempt was made to awaken
interest by announcing a particularly in
teresting series of special events, like
guest appearances for Tetrazzini, Eames.
and Clement, a production of "Pelleas ct
Melisande," with Nine Leblanc Maeter-
linck, and a limited engagement for
Weingartner, the famous German con
ductor. and Lucille Marcel. the Ameri-
can singer now associated with him
So far only Tetrazzni and 'Pelleas ct
have moved the public from
its apathy.
II is said the failure of Boston to
rush to the support of its opera house
is due not only to the mediocre charac
ter of many of the performances, bat to
prejudice against a prominent member
81 the board Of directors, who has sought
to gain admittance TO Back Bay society
by providing Boston with an opera
house.
