pie Formula VIII Do IL
Nicely

There are few people in this world
who are satisfied with gray hair
when it appears in their own dark
locks. Most of us want to get rid of
it. and this simple recipe, which can
be readily made up at home is about
the surest, most satisfying means that
could possibly be employed to change
the gray locks to a soft, nice glossy
brown. To ozs. of water add one
small box of Barbo Compound, one OF.
of bay rum and one-fourth ounce of
glycerine. Any drug store can sup
ply the ingredients at little cost and
you can do your own mixing. Apply
1t to- the gray hair or beard once a
week until the desired dark shade Is
obtained, then once every two weeks
will be sufficient. 1t is equally as
meritorious for removing dandrufi
and other ills of the scalp and 70,
promoting the growth of the hair. You
will be highly pleased when you see
how admirably this simple mixture will

Jean Ribot, director of LA Revue" who
threw open his pages TO the inquiry, and
himself contributed an eloquent study of
the women's movement. The twentieth
century he prophesies, will be the wom-
ans century, as the eighteenth and nine
teenth were specially those of the rights
of man. He AYERS that the woman $
cause in France has been better served
and further advanced during the last
four years by the moderation of its lead
ers than has been the case in England,
despite efforts that date from an earlier
period.
Among many notable men who respond
ed TO Nine. Schmahl's query as to their
views, President Poincare gives it as his
opinion that if women so wish, the vote
will one day be theirs, but dle does not
think that date close at hand.
Marcel Provost says woman must first
give up the privileges of weakness"
which she enjoys at present
Maitre Labori is in complete sympathy
with the movement.
Maurice Donnay holds that the woman's s
vote would speedily affect important rev.

Paul Marguerite is an enthusiastic be-
lever in woman's rights, not only to vote,
but to be eligible for the chamber of dep
uties. For the protection of the race he
would give her the suffrage.
Yves Guyot while of the opinion that
women will sooner or later become elect

change. He holds that neither in Aus
