Darker Your Grav
Hair
This Recipe Makes an Excellent
Homo Made Preparation.

It is humiliating to go into a drug
store and ask for d hair dye or stain
or restorer, as it at once calls atten-
ton to a fact you want to conceal
that your hair is turning gray. This
simple recipe relieves you of all such
humiliation and at the same time
gives you a cheap and better hair
darkener and scalp tonic than the
store preparations. Procure from
your druggist at little cost one ounce
OF bay rum, quarter ounce of
glycerine and a small box of Barbo
Compound; then in your own home
dissolve the Barbo Compound in 7
ounces of water and add the other
two ingredients and you will have
a most effective hair darkener as
We'll as a good remedy for dandruff
and other scalp humors. 1t not only
browns the gray hair, but acts as a
tonic to the scalp, makes the hair
soft and glossy and is not sticky
like many store preparations. 1t is
to be applied once a week until the
hair is darkened, then every two
weeks. Be sure your druggist gives
you Barbo Compound--no other in
gredient will take its place.

State Pays Claims of Over $751;

Frankfort, Ky, April 12.-After

the 1912 dog tax $45. 7O6.15. Only
half the amount turned over last
year. The sheep claims amounted
to S52,49S.63. Sheep claims from
each county are paid out of the dog
tax collected in that county, and
the balance, if any, goes to the
school fund of the county from
which the money originated. Thir-
ty-two counties will receive no
money from this fund for their
schools, the sheep claims having
more than used up the entire dog
tax collections. Sheep claims in

reports the case of an Ainu woman
who refused to wash in order to be
treated for a skin disease, because
bathing was regarded as immodest.
In many parts of Africa the explor-
ers found that where custom pre-
scribed scant clothing, Il was actu-
ally regarded as bad form and
something that no respectable per-
son would do, to cover more of the
body than was customarily done.
Conventions on such subjects
change from generation to genera
ton. Dion Boucicault told Justin
McCarty that in his young days ac-
tresses were exceedingly proper in
their dress and that the abbreviat-
ed skirts and tights of modern
musical comedy would not have
been tolerated. But they we're
given lines of a vulgarity that no
modern audience in q respectable
theater would countenance. The
movement has been toward greater
latitude in dress, but stricter pro-
priety in speech.
Modesty seems to have been
quality of comparatively late devel-
opment in civilization. Dress was
at first regulated on the basis of
utility combined with vanity and
Then custom got in its
work. When people became accus-
toned to certain style of dress,
any violent departure from it
struck them as immodest.
Modesty didn't make dress. Dress
made modesty. Only it should be
borne in mind that once modesty
has developed, the conventions can
not be suddenly and radically vio-
lated without social degradation.
Modesty isn't something that
doesn't matter. 1t does natter

Which Is Always Viewed
At Various Angles.
MORALITY A MATTER or STYLE
In Some C0untrieS-CuStOmS
Which Permit Some Gu
riOuS Practices.
MUhEsTy DIDN'T MAKE DRESS

The variations in what modesty
permits and requires constitute an
interesting study. The Hereros OF
South Africa insist that women
keep their heads covered. AS to
what else they wear, they aren't so
particular. A German explorer
found that Herero lady didn't
mind posing for a photograph with
nothing much on except the head
cloth. But she was terribly shock
ID at the idea of removing that.
1t is the style among the Yokuts
to wear nothing above the waist.
But they consider bare feet immod-
est. Missionaries in China have
written home asking that churches
that send them boxes omit picture
books showing persons barefooted.
In China the exposure of the foot is
considered disgraceful.
On the Uganda Railroad, near
Lake Victoria, under the equator,
Sir Henry Johnson found tribe
WHIP considered clothing quite SUI
perIluous. The members wore or
raments, nut nothing else. But
they were regarded as 1.-The most
moral people in Uganda, Near
them lived a tribe, the Baganda,
who were exceedingly particular as
to their clothing. But they had an
unsavory reputation as to morals.
In civilized nations, of course,
dress that is considered proper for
evening wear at parties would be
regarded as extremely immodest
for street use. Conventional usage
permits the wearing of costumes
10Y bathing that would not be toll
Grated off the beach. The same
differences appear accumulated in
other parts of the world.
In Japan, for instance, until re-
cent years hot baths were taken by
everybody in public. What no one
could help, everybody was expected
to ignore. But Japanese women
who would battle in public with no
embarrassment were shocked at the
dress which European women wore
at evening parties.
1t may be noticed that while We
are shocked at the idea of promis-
eEfous bathing by the Japanese, our
ancestors did the same thing well
into modern times. Church coun-
ellis were repeatedly condemning
the practice, but it did not disap-
pear from Europe until 800 or 400
years ago.

eft of the Trusts.
CAUSES HIGH COST OF LIVING


Washington, April 9.-One hun
dred dollars annually! This is
the amount the crime of over-capi-
talization, or watered stocks, costs
every American family!
This statement flows easily from
the pen, but it can be best demon
strated by little arithmetic.
Various prominent financial stu
dents and authorities are RESPONSE
BILE for the statement, and their
conclusions are wholly sustained by
reports of the United States Com
mission and the published figures
of the National Corporation Tax
Returns, that about $30,0O0,000,-
900 of the stocks of our industrial
or tariff trusts, represent only wa
ter.
On this stock. dividends of about
$500, 100000 are being paid year
ly, amounting to approximately SIS
person or nearly 500 an Ameri-
can family!
This 1900, 900, 900 is not picked
up out of the streets. Where, then,
does it come from? The answer is:
from the pockets of the consumers.
There is not a dollar of water" or
imitation in the capitalization of
corporations which deal in COM
mOdities, or in railroad or other
public service corporations, that
does not impose burdens upon the
consumers and producers of this
country.
The above figures, which may be
accepted as fairly conservative in
view of the fact that United States
Senator LaFollette and various 9TH
err students of the question assert
that the amount of watered stock is
more than double the amount esti-
mated above, mean this: That an
average family in this country is
paying tax of 500 year in sup
porting the over-capitalization of
our industries. Can there remain
any doubt, then, as to over-capital-
ization being one reason, a sister
reason to high tariff, for the ever
cost of living?
Watered stock is not only one of
the prime causes for increased
prices of commodities, but it is also
an important cause of the present
unsatisfactory condition of labor.
To pay these dividends on watered
stock, the trust magnates must
either hold down wages abnormally
low, or raise prices artifcially high. |
The fact is they are doing both.
DISQUALIFICATION, therefore, is
obviously one of the most impor-
tant problems confronting the |
American people to-day. Polite
ians, for some reason, refer to it |
less than they should. The subject |
ought to be one of the foremost po-
litical issues.
Five hundred glazing illustra-
lions of the crime of over-capitali-
zation could be cited. They would
average like this: The Chicago e.
Alton was capitalized at 100000
300. When turned over to the pur-
chasing syndicate in 1899 it was
capitalized at S94 100000.
The people are not going to for
ever permit the Perkins and Nor
CAMS and other financiers to strap
upon their backs the burdens of
hese enormous -capitalizations
which constitute one of the princi-
pal causes of the increase in the
cost of living.
