THE BEST TREATMENT FOR
ITCHING SCALPS, DANDRUFF
AND FALLING HAIR

To allay itching and irritation OF the
scalp, prevent dry, thin and falling
hair, remove crusts, scales and dan
druff, and promote the growth and
beauty of the hair, the following spe-
cial treatment is most effective, agree
able and economical On retiring,
comb the hair out straight all around,
then begin at the side and make a
parting, gently rubbing Cuticura ONT
ment into the parting with a bit of
soft flannel held over the end Of the
finger Anoint additional partings
about half an inch apart until the
whole scalp has been treated, the pur-
pose being to get the Cuticura Oint-
ment on the scalp skin rather than on
the hair. 1t is we'll to place light
covering over the hair to protect the
pillow from possible stain. The next
morning, shampoo with Cuticura Soap
and hot water. Shampoos alone may
be used as often as agreeable, but
once or twice a month Is generally
sufficient for this special treatment
for women's hair.
Cuticura Soap and Ointment sold

NEW ELECTION
LAW IS UPHELD
APPLICATION FOR AN INJUNCTION
DENIED BY JUICE ALLISON.
Held That Bill Passed Eeach House Le-
gally Three Times and That .
Quorum Was Present as
Shown by Journal.

Nashville.-In chancery court Satur-
day, Chancellor Allison held the election
bill passed by the present legislature
valid and denied the application for an
injunction. An appeal will be taken at
once to the supreme court, and that body
will, it is understood, hear the case at
special session to be held in June.
In rendering his decision, the chancel-
Tor held that the journal is the only
lawful witness that the court may con-
slider, and that in this case the only
doubt was as to the house journal. He
held that the journal must show clearly
and beyond the shadow of a doubt that
quorum does not exist or else the court
cannot set aside the law. He held that
the bill passed three times in each house
legally and without any question as to
quorum, and then over the governors
veto in the senate with a quorum un-
questioned, and that the bill was at
tackled only on the ground that it passed
the fourth time in the house without q
quorum. On this point he says that the
house journal is not clear; that it neither
affirms nor denies the. presence of a
quorum, and that under these circum-
stances the court is constrained to allow
the law to stand.
He quotes the journal in his opinion
on the day of the passage of this bill
over the governors veto, and says that
the inference is plain that there was a
quorum present. He says that the jour
nal does not show that the members
whom the speaker answered for were
either present or absent, and that the
court, taking the journal for witness,
must infer that they were there.
The chancellor holds that member
who absents himself from his duties de-
prives himself of all privileges and rights
as legislator; that the only place he
can be heard on legislative questions is
at his desk; that the house speaks
through its journal, and that the house
alone has the right to say what shall go
on that journal, and the court has no au
thority to go behind it.
He holds that any doubt as to the
validity of law must be resolved in
favor of the validity of the law.
With respect to the joint convention,
he says that, regardless of the manner
or means of the two houses getting to-
gether, there is no question that ma
jority of each house was present and
that election of the new State board
was legal.

plains of the Cumberland.
Notwithstanding that the Cum
berland Telephone Company is trying
to put them out of business by rate.
cutting and other determinations, the
Houston County Telephone and Tele
graph Company filed petition with the
state railroad commission, asking that
the commission grant them some relief
in the matter. The complainant com.
pany states that it is limited in Its
financial means, operating only about
$50 telephones, and that the cutting
of prices and discrimination have EN-,
barrassed them greatly.
The petition states that at the time
of the organization of the Houston
County Telephone Company the Cum,
berland had only toll station at Erin,
the headquarters of the smaller com
pany. The petition further recites that
the Cumberland has since built lines
and put in telephones in Erin and also
in other parts of the county. The pc.
tition claims that it costs 90 cents Il
month per phone to operate, and that
the Cumberland has cut its rates to SO
cents a month, besides putting in a
great number of telephones free of
charge. 1t is claimed that the present
charge of so cents per month is a
great deal less than it costs to oper.
ate the phones.
Under law passed by the present
legislature the railroad commission has
jurisdiction over the telephone com
panies.

Parliamentary Suspension.

Sir Henry Lucy drops a. hint from
the Gross Benches" In the Observer
as to the suspension" of members OF
the house the vagueness of the
penalty. Can 1t be true that members
get themselves named and suspended
on purpose to achieve a compulsory
holiday? Eight pounds a week will
make for modest comfort at Brighton
or Eastbourne. The member OF par.
lament is paid whether he Is in the
house or at Margate or in the Clock

Whole Family Convicted.

Nashville.-According to information
received here by Revenue Agent Knox
Booth, five members of one mountain
family were sentenced two days ago at
Knoxville on charges of illicit opera
tions with q wildcat still.
They were P. M. Bivens, Dudley Biv-
ems, Elias Bivens, James Bivens and Nose
Bivens, the first three getting peniten-
tiary sentences and the last two jail
terms.
In addition to the above five, there
are now two more members of the fam
lily serving terms in the penitentiary for
moonshining. This raises their family
record thus far to seven, which, accord
ing to Mr.. Booth, is a Tennessee record
from one family on such charges.

Fail 10 Convict Woman.

Nashville.-The jury trying the case
of Mrs. Leola Jones, charged with the
murder last year of Mrs. Alva Cave,
widow of the son of former Chaplain
General R. Lin Cave of the United Con-
federate Veterans, failed to agree and
was discharged.
When the verdict of mistrial was
brought in Judge A. B. Nell scored the
jury roundly for having failed to do its
duty. He declared that if a jury was
ever to agree in murder case they most
certainly should have agreed in such q
clear case as the one just passed.

FOOD INSPECTION.
Work in Tennessee Given Impetus-In-
spectors in Field.

Nashville--With its two inspectors
the food and drugs department has been
doing all it can to cover the whole State.
1t necessarily follows that in order to
get the best effects these men ought to
put in most of their time working and
not in travelling. SO that those portions
of the State within easy reach of the
railroads have received, heretofore, the
maximum attention. They are, however,
now getting into fair condition and the
inspectors are going into the parts here
tofore not covered. For instance, In
spector Frazier is now on trip along
the Tennessee river in West Tennessee.
DIR. Brown says he reports conditions
better than he had any right to antici-
pate. For instance, great many of
the stores are screened and for the most
part they are keeping fairly clean.
