LONG AND GIBSON CONSIDERED OUT OF. MARSHALSH|P RACE.
Department of Justice Will Not Appoint Two Men From Same Congress
 SiOnal District

Washington, May s.-(Speeial.l l-Tom Long and Horace Gibson are com pletely out of it so far as the marshalship
 for the north Alabama district is con- cerncd. This fact became definitely
 known today. It is up to Senator Bank
 head to name another man for the place. At the department of justice 1t is inti-
 mated that it is not the policy of the
 department to appoint two men from the
 same congressional district if it can be avoided
 This applies to both marshals and and
 district attorneys. The department pre- fers that one congressional district does not get both marshalship and a dis trict attorney. This leaves the marshall ship for the northern district to the Sev- enth or Eighth districts. Neither of these districts are represented. so far as a marshal and district attorney is con- cerned. pr. Wyeth of Huntsville Is a. candidate from the Seventh and H. A. Skeggs, mayor of Decatur, from the Eighth
 MT. Skeggs is in town and is also O.. w. Brown of Birmingham a candidate for the place. The one best bet Is Skeggs, for it is practically certain that he will get the nomination and that his name will be put up to the attorney gen. eral tomorrow.

MADAME ISE'BELL Let Unhealthy Hair Fall Out, Is
 Madame Ise'belHs Advice
HAIR PROBLEMS OF MIDDLE
 ACE-PART "

| The life of a hair is from five te seven years, therefore a certain fall ing of the hair is natural and should not cause alarm if the scalp is healthy and new hair is pushing out at the
 same time. Healthy hair is firmly embedded in the hair follicles: if is said that single hair will stand the strain of four ounces and therefore there is little danger that brushing shampooing or even pulling the hair will cause 1t to fall out if it Is healthy hair. If it Is not healthy, it might as well fall out today as tomorrow for dead hair must make way for new hair. Do not hesitate to give your hair I a prescribed treatment for fear that | 1t will fall out. Only the dead hair will fall.
 l However, after youth hair not only grows more slowly. but the renewal is apt to be less active. For this reason any excessive fall of hair should be investigated and the reason for 1t dis covered and corrected. Avoid scraping and irritating the scalp beyond a healthy glow; you may kill the new hairs just forming.
 Look to Your Brush and Comb The old rule of brushing the hair a hundred strokes a day is rarely en- forced now and l believe that we can get better scalp stimulation by few minutes massage than by long brush- ing. However, regular brushing is good for the hair itself; 1t not only frees Iit from dust, but it makes 1t glossy by distributing the oil throughout its whole length. Brush and comb should be kept spotlessly clean wiped clean every day and thoroughly washed at least once a week. This rule Is par ticularly important when dandruff Is present.
 What to Do for Rough Skin
 Several correspondents have written me asking advice as to a rough, irri- tated skin that seems to come from exposure to cold and wind. First, do not put water on your face before going out into the cold. If your skin is dry and sensitive, stop using soap for a while and clean 1t with a good cleans Ing cream. Tn any case rub little cold cream into the skin before exposing 1t to the wind and wear veil. The cold cream will not show If 1t is rubbed Into the skin and powder applied. frequent cause of chapping kin is the use of too hot water. Another cause is tho use of a too strong soap or even tho purest soap if it is not we'll rinsed from the skin. In brief, keen the skin fabricated with good creams and protected with pure face powder: wear veil tbe sure 1t Is clean) if the wind Is strong and the irritation will shortly disappear.

Under Consideration

MILWAUKEE, Feb. 25.-The 500
lines proposed cutoff between Grand
--.sapitis viii mean a new railway Ii2e
running north and south in the
state.
The understanding is that the APP
preparation has been made by the
directors of the 500 line for either
me practical doulble-trackiIg Of that
road from the Illinois line north to
either MarshfieId or Abbottsford or
the building of a cutoff south from
the spur OF the road running from
MarshfieId to Grand Rapids to con
meet with the present main line
near Mukwonago.
Grand Rapids Pushing Project.
With knowledge that the cutoff
has been under consideration by the
500 line directors and that the work
has even gone so far>a as survey OF
a possible route, citizens Of Grand.
Rapids are writing letters to citii-
zens and business associations OF
towns along the line of the proposed
survey, asking them to unite with
Grand Rapids in an organized effort
to have the cutoff built.
Other Lines in Prospect
The understanding seems to be al
so that, in connection with the cut
off plan, the SEQ, it is reported,
plans building from MukwonagO into
this city and also the building Of a
line from this city to Chicago, run
ming east of the present line between
Chicago and Mukwonago. The pro
posed cutoff between Grand Rapids
and Mukwonago would shorten the
500 line between the Twin Cities
and Chicago materially.
