HINCKS PROPOSES BILL COVERING TAXATION OF
 ALL CHOSES IN ACTION

Hartford, April 25--A bill taxing all choses in action-by which is meant negotiable securities, such as stocks and bonds-1 per cent. when issued and making this the only tax which they are liable to, was submitted to the committee on finance by w. T. HinckS of Hincks Brtohers E, Com pany Of Bridgeport, as a substitute for Senate Bill No. 13S, yesterday af- ternoon.
 In speaking on the original bill, Tax Commissioner William H. Corbin said that it provided that, when registra- ton of bond owners is made with the State Treasurer, 1t shall be made with the name of the owner of the bond, rather than that of the bondhoIder. He said that 1t was absolutely useless and confusing to send to town asses sors list of bondholders, when the real owners, who should. pay the tax, were not stated.
 MT. Hincks told the committee that only a very small part of the bonds in the State were declared for taxa ton, and that these were mostly se- curities which litigation, or the pro. bate court had uncovered, and which could not very well be hidden. In his opinion, the best way to bring out the bonds for taxation was to adopt the law passed in New York State, which brought out millions in bonds which were not known of by the sessors before. The plan is to tax sonable tax. In New York it is one half of 1 per cent. MT. Hincks' bill makes it 1 per cent.
 It is understood that his proposal has the approval of the financial men of the State.

OTHER MINING DISASTERS
Tn 1907, 361 Lives Were Lost in One ExplOsion-CasuaI-
 ities Decreasing

Pittsburgh, April 25.-The loss of life In the F'inleyvil1e mine was not the largest ever claimed in a mine disaster in the Pittsburgh section. Other ex- plosions in recent years, with the at tendant loss of life included:
 Johnstown, Pa, July 1O 1902, 11G lives; Cheswick, Pa., Jan. 25, 1904, 1Sz lives; Monongah, w. Va, December 6, 1907 Gin which more lives were claimed than in any ether mine disaster in the history of the country), 361 lives; Ja- cobs Creek, Pa, December 19, 19J7, 23C lives; Mariana, Pa, November 2S, 1908, 154 lives.
 Several members of the rescue par ties working at the F'inleyviIle mine are miners who are employed in the Marianna mine, which is near Finley vile, where the 1908 explosion cIairned 154 lives The Mar1anna mine, shortly before the explosion mentioned had been pronounced the model mine of the world.
 The Cincinnati mine is about four miles in length. It's main entrance Is at Courtney, on the Pittsburgh, Vir- ginia 6 Charleston Railroad, a short distance from Huston Run, Pa. The other entrance is at Mingo Junction, Pa. The mine has been in operation for about eighty years. Thirty years ago there was a gas explosion, in which mine cars were blown through the tippIe and halfway across the  Monogahe!a River.
 A theory as to the cause of the ex- pIosfon advanced by one of the men who escaped is that an old mine run ming parallel with the Cincinnati mine was filled with gas, which may have escaped through a crack in a concrete wall separating the mines. It will take 8 thorough investigation, how ever, to ascertain whether escaping gas, coal dust, or after-damp caused the explosion.
 Coal-mine accidents took a death toll last year of 2, ,360 men, according to a statement made public today by the United States Bureau of Mines. The statement added, however, that these figures represent 8 death rate of only 3.15 in every thousand men employed the smallest rates of nor taIity since 1S99- The number of tons of coal mined in proportion to the number of lives sacrificed was the greatest on record.
 4 total of 750, 900 men are employed in mining. Figures show that although 70 900 more miners were employed in 1912 than in 1907, there were S37 fewer fatalities last year. The falling off in

It positively does not promote hair growth, but it does nourish the flesh and skin beautifully. Next to the fore going and following out the scientific treatment I want you to use two or three times daily before going out in to the weather the delightful glorioI balm, or greaselG ss massage cream.

 Curious asks: T am curious to know whether you would recommend that reduce my weight? I weigh little over 200 pounds and seem to be gaining lately. In hot weather I am very uncomfortable"
 Answer-The question as to wheth- CT you should reduce must be settled by yourself. I should think you could easily decide that, as you evidently suffer as nearly all abnorma1ly fat people do. It is such a simple matter in this day and age to reduce exces- sive fatness that I wonder why there are any such. The one thing I know to be prompt and effective, and at the same time perfectly safe to use, Is B. grain phy-thy-rin tablets, put up in sealed tubes and on sale at most phar-
 nacies. This will reduce you surely and steadily.
 Jean R. asks: 'I have an ugly growth of hair on the point of my good-Iooking and pretty I have been afraid to try to remove it. Can you tell me what to do?"
 Answer-There are a great many so-called depilitory remedies, good, bad and indifferent. but the one which and which l heartily commend, is sealed via1s packed in tubes. Full directions are in each tube. It is harmless and instantly effective.
 Arthur S. asks: Can you tell me something which will absolutely cure dandruff and itching scalp? I have tried innumerab1e remedies in vain It is very annoying
 Answer-Extremely bad cases of dandruff always yield to the regular application of plain yellow ninyol (sold in oz. 5ars.) Apply about twice a week. Shampoo once a week with gloriol glowene. Also get the hair and scalp tonic recommended to- Mrs. B. B. in these answers.

Oftener, my face breaks out in pin- pies, ingrowing hairs, redness, etc."
 Answer-Either of the preparations are most excellent for the purpose; avoid bay rum, witch hazel and other astringents. A man needs a good skin and complexion just as much as a woman does-especially if he is un- married, don't you think?

 Elsie J. asks: Can you tell me why, in spite of all the care I take of my skin, that it fs frequently a mass of pimples and blackheads, and it seems to get more greasy and muddy all the time?"
 Answer-ProbabIy your indigestion IS not 0srfect and your blood has be- come impure. Quit eating fat and rich pastries. Bathe the body daily.

 Answer-Yes, my dear Caroline, you are safe in using wavolene, for it is one of the very excellent toilet arti- cles that always has a place on my table. I could not do without 1t. It is harmless,i invisible, and very satis- factory to all who do not possess fluffy, waving hair. One application keeps the hair in curl for a week or more.
