DANDRUFF IN WORST FORM

II North Ave, Attleboro Falls, Mass.
Il have been troubled for long
time with dandruff in its worst form.
My scalp was covered with eruptions
and my hair had begun to fall out in
nandfuls. l scratched my head so
that it was covered with sores and at
times these caused me much suffer
ing by their bleeding. My scalp itched
terribly nearly all the time, even at
night, when the awful itching and
burning sensation would awaken me
from sound sleep. There was not a
spot on my head free from the awful
itching dandruff and the dandruff was
so thick as to be plainly seen in my
hair even when l had given it thor
ough brushing.

dies for it without deriving the least
benefit from their use. Then | decid-
ed to send for a free trial sample of

Artemus could be when he tried, take
this extract from his letter on Jeffer.

WHY THE MEAL WAS HALTED
Nothing Seriously Wrong, but Old Gen
tleman Had sor'- Trouble With
the Elusive Onion.

An aged country couple. on the ur-
gent invitation of a grandson who
lived in the city, were on for visit
The grandsons wife was very anxious
that the first meal should be one
which the aged couple would enjoy
after their long ride in the train, and
accordingly the table groaned under
its burden Of good things to eat.
In the course of the repast she no
ticed several times that the old man
seemed to be making little progress
with the meal.
What is the matter, grandfather?
she asked, don't you like my dinner?''
No, no, granddaughter" mumbled
the old man, 1T isn't that. Only I've
a picked onion in my mouth, and

IrreclaimabIe SkeptIc,

How big an income should young
man have before he is justified in get

in various departments of the Sunday
papers at various seasons of the year
and it is variously answered. Condi

changes with the conditions.
The best answer we remember to
have heard was given by cynical
bachelor and skeptic last week. This
person was in the newspaper office
when the woman editor opened hel
mail and read forth this question:

GERMANY FEARS THE WAR TAX"

If the German Emperor is proud of his military
establishment the German nation at large is be-
ginning to stagger under it. Right and left the
leading papers, even in Berlin, are protesting We
hemently against the proposed expenditure of
S2sOOOo000 to strengthen the army. and against
the probability of having to pay tax of $3.50 on
every $500 the people possess. Nor are the pro-
tests the only sign of dismay and discomfort Fnan-
clal and commercial markets have apparently been
unsettled by the war tax which would reap
25o,0O0,000 this year and as much more next year,
all to meet fine Kaisers plan to put Germany in the
forefront of the fighting nations But the Germans
are already fearful that too much militancy may
lead to bankruptcy.
1t seems that even the German princes are to
forego their old right of tax exemption but this
affords small consolation to the country which is
already half taxed to death behalf of all kinds of
industrial and charitable projects to mention the
support of army and navy inferior in size only to
Great Britain's. Last year the German army budget
called for about SO8,OO0OOO, which was some
$3O0O0,OO0 less than the British appropriation but
now the German Emperor wants to beat all records.
He can do it. but the commerce and industry of
the nation shows clear signs of the enormous burden
That is the substance of the warning being given the
most belligerent of twentieth century sovereigns.

THE PRESIDENTS GOOD START.

President Wilson begins with announcement that
the lachstrng will not be out for Office seekers
less they are sent for That is good. Then ne goes
farther and demonstrates how nicely he will be able
to get on without their advice, by naming two men,
bers of the Interstate Commerce Commission even
before there was general realization that two va
cancies existed That is better.
The selections are ideal. Mr. Clark was nonl-
mated by President Taft to succeed himself but in
the patronage jam failed of confirmation. A Re-
publican, veteran in the service and the possessor
of his full share in that confidence which the public
has vested in the commission since its reorganization
few years ago, his selection indicates purpose to
place efficiency at the head of considerations.
The choice of John H. Marble for the other place
was just as fortunate. He is California Democrat,
the friend and protege of Franklin Lane an excellent
lawyer and faniarized, through long service. with
all the details of law and administration which the
commissions service demands. He is progressive to
the core, and will fill the big vacancy y1eft when Mr.
Lane was drafted to the Cabinet with complete sat-
isfaction. Plainly, tine commission is to be kept I'D
to its highest standards of efficiency and ndepend

one of dozen men occupying posts as high as that

so far removed from political influence as this of
