Warren county the road has been

have been made. Warren cOun-

Egypt today has become as popular

| tremendously expensive. But this need

Social life in Egypt is practically con-
fined to hotel life. Even in Cairo there
is practically no entertaining of pri-
vate nature apart from the official func-
tions. Scarcely private dance is given
in the season. All the hospitality is done
quite cneaply, so far as lnulNluuals are
concerned in the hotels.
The chief social pursuits in Egypt
tmore especially in Cairo is to dance, and
the way it is done is this: Each of the big
hotels has a dance one night in each
week, which means that somewhere there
is a capital informal ball given each
night commencing about $40 and ending
at midnight These dances are open to
everybody, not only to those staying in
the hotel, but to those in others and to
residents You walk in and dance No
questions are asked. Generally parties
are made up for dinner in the restaurants
or the hotel first and that seems to be
the furthest extent to which hospitality
in Egypt usually goes.

England Demands More Bicycles

From the Consular Reports.
There is said to be an excellent trade
in bicycles in the United Kingdom. with
an increasing demand. Many cycles We're
sold at the exhibition at London toward
the close of 1912. not to individuals but
to retail dealers who came from all parts
of the country, and in many instances
placed their orders for the coming season.
The excellence of the construction of the
bicycles and the low prices at which they
are sold make an appeal to that very
large class of people who are unable to
purchase a more expensive machine. A
very serviceable cycle may be purchased
on the installment plan for s39, or even
less.
Through a recent invention, a pedal
cycle can be quickly converted into a mo-
torcycle. The invention consists of an
auto wheel, which comprises baby one
horsepower petrol engine borne in a
strongly made cycle wheel, which is cas-
lily attachable alongside the back wheel
of an ordinary bicycle, thus changing it
into motorcycle When it is securely
fixed in its place the little motor drives
the auto-wheel and this in turn carries
the cycle and rider forward. Enough pet
rol can be carried in the tank for a non
stop run of 50 miles The possibility of
skidding is almost entirely eliminated,
as the auto-wheel is fitted with a non-
skid tire. The price of this device is
SS170. The cost of an ordinary bicycle
with the auto-wheel attachment would be
about $120, as compared with $3.50 which
is the average cost of an ordinary motor

Gray Hair Banished
It Can Be Nicely Darkened BY
a Simple Home Made
Preparation

A very simple preparation to darken
gray hair, which can be made in your
own house at very little expense 10
made from one ounce of bay rum, a
quarter ounce of glycerine and a
small box of Barbo Compound. These
ingredients can be procured at any
drug store. You dissolve the Barbo
Compound in ounces of water then
add the other two ingredients, apply
ing it once week until the hair is
darkened and then every two weeks
to preserve the color and keep the
scalp healthy. 1t is an excellent rem
edy for dandruff and other scalp dis
orders and keeps the hair soft and
glossy. Unlike many store prepara-
tions, 1t does not rub off, make the
hair sticky or color the scalp. 1t gives
the hair a natural young look" and
there is really no occasion to have
gray hair when this preparation can
be so easily made. Insist on your
druggist giving you Barbo Compound,
for there's no other ingredient that
takes 1t place in this mixture. He
can. always get it for you II you in

! AS never before the fact was proved
by the experiences of this Lent that

numbers of people far beyond those

also proved that churches that have

fact that in 1913 the Sixth Provincial Coun-

Catholic prelates put forth the argu-

Catholic university have superior claim,

that as women raised money to purchase
