Sir Thomas Upton. - In an interview
IN New York. praised American sales
manship. ).
THE excellence Of your salesman
ship" he said. "is doubtless due to the
high salaries paid. these high salaries
drawing into the work q very high
class Of men.
Even your book statesmen are good
and good book salesmanship Ii =
rare thing.
There's a concern In England that
runs about a thousand book stalls.
These stalls are manAd by poor lit
tie boys OF nine or ten years-poor
little shabby. dirty-flncered boys who
earn about 10 bob. or $50 q week.
And what a job they make of book
craftsmanship, to be sure!
Il once went up to a stall and said
to the little boy who was funching be-
hind the counter on cold cocoa and
bread:
"sHave you got Chaucer's "Camter-
bury Tales" here?'
Setting down his cocoa cup. the
little fellow answered. with a volu-
BILE and pathetic attempt at smart
book craftsmanship:
NO, sir. we amt got it. That is
sir, we amt got 1t at this stall, sir.
You see, we're tryin' it out at q few
OF our larger stalls to see how it goes
If 1t makes a hit why. then we'll have

Two Big Features at The
u. Comus Theatre 10000

First: "The Tiger Lilly"
On Saturday night. August
9th we will present for your en-
joyment the great three reel fea-
ture Vitagraph picture THE tt
ger Lilly" in which the great
motion picture players, Julia
Swayne Gordon and Earle Will
liams figure in the star roles.
This picture has been highly
endorsed to us by all whom have
seen it as one of the best offer
ings that the Vitagraph Company
have put on the screen, and this
is saying a lot.
In the great plot. jealousy
plays the prominent figure and it
is this rival jealousy that causes
the disastrous outcome of this
wonderful Photographic master
piece of the Vitagraph Company.
In seeking the destruction of her
own flesh and blood to satisfy
her vanity and jealousy, the I'll
ger Lilly" meets her doom.
We are extending every effort
to obtain nothing short of the
highest class Of motion picture
plays and when we bill a feature
at our theatre, we are fully con-
ident that it will come up to the
expectations of every oneTwit-
Messing it. Full of this conf
dence in our offerings. we put
behind every one of our'perform-
ances of motion pictures, a bona
fide guarantee that if your antic-
ipations of a good show are not
realized, we will refund the
amount paid us by you just as
cheerfully as we receive it from
you.
And another strong argument
in our favor is the fact that we
are not advancing the price of
these features. the price at all
times being 5 and 10 cents.
Second: Mary Stuart"
adapted from the drama by Fred
erick Schiller.
On Wednesday night, August
18th, we present the great three
reel Edison feature MARY
Stuart"
In all history thereIis no more
pathetic figure than beautiful
Mary Stuart. the lovely Queen of
France and Scotland, whom fate
seems to have marked from child
hood as a victim Of its cruelty.
Her hopeless struggle, in the re-
lentless power of the great Queen
Elizabeth. the plots and intrigues
of the followers of both queens,
form one Of the most romantic
and exciting series of incidents
outside Of fiction.
Romance itself could not rival
this brief glance into history
which has been offered only af-
ter the most painstaking study
of the costumes, manners and
settings of the Elizabethan per-
iod. Accurate in every detail,
photographically superb, acted by
one of the strongest casts ever
assembled in one photo-play, this
production is worthy to rank
with the few great films of the
year.
II you fail to see our other big
shows On the other nights of the
week, we insist that you make a
special effort to see-both of these
features, as our guarantee of
nom disappointment is behind
thems

OFFICERS GRAB FINE HATS
Under New Tariff Law Women
Lose PIumage.

New York-With the passage of the
new tariff, the customs officer has had
thrust upon him new and disagree
able office. He must tear out the aig-
rettes and plumage of foreign birds
that women passengers are wearing in
their hats when they arrive in Ameri-
can ports.
When the Underwood bill went into
effect Monday score of women on the
French liner Lorraine were subjected
to this treatment. Their indignation
was so great they could net contain
themselves.
Try as they might, the customs men
were unable to make the women see
they we're only carrying out orders and
disorder and confusion prevailed.
This probably will be the rule, steam
ship men say, every time an inspector
steps aboard a vessel.
The customs men got busy also on
the Campania, which arrived later
A collection of birds of Paradise was
found in short order by the inspectors.
The trunks of the women passengers
were raked for them.
The plumage seized will be turned
over to the appraisers, who will set q
price on each piece and send word to
the owners, who will be permitted te
return them to the dealer from whom
they were bought. If anything goes
wrong with this program and the feath
er stay here, the traveller will be gull

MAKING HAIR GROW

1t appears that in all the world there has
been discovered one drug-and ONLY one
that actually stimulates to renewed action the
follicles and cells that nourish the hair and
thereby make it grow-even on bald heads.
That drug is standard article Of commerce
well known to the drug trade. The National
Standard Dispensatory says it acts as a pow
erful stimulant to the growth of the hair.
Therefore even If you have tried hundred
kinds of hair tonic without that drug you
have not proven that a hair tonic containing
that drug will not make your hair grow. The
best way is to mix your own tonic or have a
reliable druggist mix it for you Here is a
formula that includes the drug referred to:
Bay Rum, 6 OF; Menthol Crystals, " drachm;
Lavona de Composee, 2 ounces You can get
these ingredients at any drug store If you
choose you may add drachm of your favorite
perfume. Apply to the scalp with the fingers
night and morning. This formula is recon-
mended for falling hair and dandruff. 1t
should make your hair grow. 1t is NOT in
any sense dye and contains no coloring mat
ter whatever, but has tendency to stimulate
the pigment-secreting cells and thereby re-
store prematurely gray hair to its natural
color

Cost of Maintenance.

Beef cows that are not sucking
calves may be wintered on silage
alone If the silage is good, without
any hay, says the Breeders Journal
They are the better for a little straw
and a pound or two of cottonseed
meal per day. Cows of this kind will
consume about 80 pounds of silage a
day and the cost of their keep will
vary according to the cost of silage
and the length of the period between
old and new grass. Anybody can fig
ure this out according to his climate,
cost of silage, other feeds and graz
ing, and see whether he can afford
to raise cattle on his farm. What
does 1t cost to keep a beef COW per
year in your locality? Can you af-
ford to raise steers? A little discus
sion of this point would be helpful to
a great many people.

MIX as Ration for Chickens.

Combine the dairy and poultry
plants on the farm. In other words,
feed the milk to the chickens. For
fattening or for laying birds. there is
nothing better. 1t does not make
much difference. either, what kind Of
milk you give them. Sour and but
ter milk are as good as any, while
Prof. Lippincott, head of the poultry
department of the Kansas Agricultural
college, gives the following as an ex-
cellent ration for fattening purposes:
One part cornmeal, one part oat flour,
one part barley meal, one part beef
scrap, eight parts butter milk or
skim milk. This makes what is
called slop feed, as it is thin enough
to pour.

KILLING IA
Prisoner Claims Robbery Was No

Murderer Calmly Tells Police He
Found Killing Women Easy

Chicago-Mrs. Mildred Allison Rex
roat, dancing teacher who was shot to
death at Wheaton, ILL.,, week ago,
was the victim of a murderer, who,
according to his own confession, had
killed 13 others in as many years.
Henry Spencer, arrested in room
near the South Side levee district,
confessed that he not only killed Mrs.
Rexroat, but that he has slain IA per-
sons in all.
He was positively identified as the
mysterious mr.. Spencer" with
whom Mrs. Rexroat left Chicago on
the night she was killed. Mrs. Rex
roat's blood-stained rattan suitcase
was found in his room, as was the re-
volver with which he said he had
killed her.
The police, while in doubt as to the
full truth of Spencer's story, are con-
fident that they have found whole

proved to have killed at least seven
persons, described in long confession.

TARIFF BILL IS LAW
Chief Executive Signs Measure With
Two Cold Pens.
Wilson Says Rest of Problem Is
Chiefly Financial-Bill Be-
comes Law at Once.

Washington, d. C.-Surrounded by
the leaders OF a united Democracy,
President Wilson signed the Under
wood-Simmons tariff bill at 9:09
o'clock Friday night at the white
house. simultaneously kilograms were
sent to customs collectors throughout
the country by the treasury depart
ment, putting into actual operation
the first Democratic tariff revision
since 1894.
A happy group of Legislators, mem
bers of the cabinet and friends en-
circled the president as he signed the
bill, using two gold pens. He present
ed to Representative Underwood the
pen that had written the word Wood
row." and the one which had complet-
ed his name to Senator Simmons.
Amid impressive silence the presi-
dent delivered in easy, natural tones
an extemporaneous speech that
brought prolonged applause.
He said that the journey of 1egisla-
tive accomplishment had only been
partly completed; that great service
had been done for the rank and file
of the country, but that the second
step in the emancipation of business
was currency reform. He earnestly
called upon his colleagues to go "the
rest of the journey" with fresh i'm
pulse.
Gentlemen, feel peculiarly pleas
ed" the president began, 'in what
have just done by taking part IN
the completion of a great piece Of
business. 1t is a pleasure which IL
very hard to express In words which
are adequate to express the feeling
because the feeling that have is tha
we have done the rank and file o.
the people Of this country a grea
service.
ut is hard to speak of these thing
without seeming to go off into cam
paign eloquence, but that Is not m.
feeling. 1t is feeling of profoun,
gratitude that, working with the splen
did men who have carried this thin
through with studious attention ant
doing justice all around, 1 should hav
, had a part in serving the people o
this country as we have been strivin
to serve them ever since can remen

II have wished to see the accom-
plishment of something like this eve
since / was a boy, and I know me
standing around me who can say tn
! same thing-who have been waitin
to see the things done which 1t wa
necessary to do In order that theI
might be justice in the United State
And so it is a solemn moment thf
v brings business to conclusion and
hope will not be thought demandin
too much of myself or colleague
when l say that this, great as Ii is,
= the accomplishment of only half Il
: journey. We have set the business
2 this country free from those conc
= lions which have made monopoly n
only possible, but in sense easy al
natural. But there is no use takiI
away the conditions of monopoly

lime and SULPHUR Spray.

The lime and sulphur spray is ex-
pensive. 1t is disagreeable to make
and to apply. But it clears the trees
of variety Of germs and insects.
The shothole fungus Is dreaded by
plum growers. Bordeaux mixture has
been the remedy. 1t is effectual, but
1t requires time and several applica-
tons. One good treatment with lime
and sulphur will do more to rid the
trees of the disease than a season of
spraying with Bordeaux For this pur-
pose, If for no other, the sulphur is to
be recommended. Add to that the
effect on the other ailments and it
makes the treatment a valuable one
for the plum grower.

Get Rid of Scale.

Oyster shell scale is not always re-
moved by the lime-sulphur spray. But
the Dominion Experimental farm at
Ottawa, Can, has shown by actual
test that good whitewashing will
succeed where the spray fails. Forty
pounds of lime, 40 gallons Of water
and eight pounds of salt make up the
recipe. Spray on the tree just after
the leaves fall, and again as soon
as the first wash has dried. The
scales will loosen up from the bark
and fall off. This will not do away
with the need of the lime-sulphur
spray for San Jose scale, but is adj
ditional.
