THERE are thousands of men and
women in this country who
are deliberately destroying
their hair.
Some are daily making themselves
bald, many are engaged in discolor-
ing their hair and turning it gray,
others every morning of their lives
carefully treat their heads with prep
arations that in the long run will
most probably induce scurf and
cause painful irritation
OF course they do not want to de-
stroy the hair. That is the pity Of
it. They want to preserve it, as they
know what a handicap gray hair. OF
no hair at all, is in this world Of the
young. where too old at forty" is
the general rule.
Now there are two man ways by
which hair can be destroyed. The
first is neglect, the secondhand most

Hertzer is to succeed David, who
sees the conspiracy framed up, and
with Ewing's aid goes to New York
to fight and obtain control OF the
Verde Company. Of which his mother
owns one-third Of the stock.
David takes an affectionate fare

marry him If he gets the consent OF
his mother. She also promises 10

Hertzer calls at the EwingS next

this. thinking she can better aid Da-

How to Prevent the Hair
From Failing

in a wrong manner; disregarding the
excess or deficiency Of the natural
grease Of the hair; ignoring the pres
ence Of scurf or irritation. are just
one or two OF the everyday forms of
neglect.
Don't forget to have the hair thor
oughly cut and singed every three
months; it is not sufficient 20 have
the long hair clipped. But special
attention should be paid TO the weak
new hairs that spring up all along
the central parting.
Don't forget 20 brush the hair for
ten minutes every night with a
whalebone bristle brush. This may
make the head a little tender at first,
but the tenderness soon wears of.

CURRENCY REFORM

AS soon as the House passes the
Tariff Bill which will be done with
out delay the bill will then be sent
to the Senate where, of course, such
rapidity of action cannot be expected
and it will probably take sixty days
or more before the Senate passes this
bill. So during this time the House
of Representatives will have to sit
in idleness If they do not take up
other matters of legislation. and il
Is quite certain that they will make
material changes in our Currency
Laws. which will render the Currency
more elastic and more RESPONSIVE TO
the needs Of commerce and business.
This Subject has suffered immeasure-
ably from neglect by Congress and is
not regulated by such modern meth
DDS as prevail In Great Britain, Franc
and Germany. where panics have never
been known to occur in times of peace
and they should never occur here. A
small amount Of craftsmanship can
make great improvements In our
present antiquated currency laws and
it is believed that this will be done
before the special session adjourns.

Which Is literally true.
About eleven years ago Mr. Briggs.

farming as q business. but he was
reared on farm and enjoys the work.
He and his wife are great workers
and scientific farmers They study and
practice the latest principles Of agri'
culture. They take and study the

And above all-ln his work he Is a.
happy as a lark.
Mr. Briggs can put the harness on
his horses. hitch them up to a sulky
pillow or self binder, go to the fields
alone and work all day, whistllng and
singing at his task.
And. mind you
When he got out OF the hospital the
only hope held out TO him was TO go
on the streets and sell shoe strings
